Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell told reporters Thursday he has decided to start 13-year veteran and 11-time Pro Bowler Peyton Manning at quarterback for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the New York Jets. 'After much deliberation, we believe that Peyton's four MVP awards and one Super Bowl ring give us the best chance to win,' said Caldwell, adding that Manning being a first-ballot Hall of Famer 'factored somewhat' into his final decision. 'Curtis Painter is a promising young player, but at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself, 'Do I go with the guy who has 28 career pass attempts or with the fastest player in NFL history to reach 1,000 completions, 2,000 completions, 3,000 completions, and 4,000 completions?'' Caldwell concluded the press conference by stressing that it's 'always week-to-week,' but Manning would likely be the frontrunner to start a divisional matchup should he lead the team to victory Saturday.
