Manning/Leaf decision exemplifies the franchise-altering impact of correct QB selection.

Historical context: Manning was the correct draft decision in the Manning/Leaf sweepstakes that changed the Colts' franchise trajectory after multiple high picks failed to pan out in the pre-Peyton era (1985–2011). The source uses this as a benchmark for the organizational competence required to turn around the current Colts rebuild.
