He should retire I don't wanna see the man paralyzed.
I son't see this happening. IMO, even if the Colts draft Luck, they will try to go with Manning if he is healthy, while letting Luck develop for a year or two on the bench. If Manning can't play and they are forced to go with Luck, they will still be in a great position. I think Manning will either play for the Colts next year (because he can), or he will retire (because he can't),
I think he's stupid enough to try. I just hope he discovers his new limitations before he goes out on the field with an opposing defense trying to cut him in half.
Part of the reason Manning is so good is the protection he gets from his ol. If he were to play behind our line he would get hit a lot more, leading to poor performance. If you look back on the games where his protection was getting shredded he had bad games.
Stanzi isn't going to work. And not to be a jerk but this is a dream that, quite frankly, doesn't make much sense. I would rather go for Brady if we did something like this. At least he can win in the post-season.
9-11 is not that great. A good portion of those came from his only good showing in the playoffs when he finally won his first and last superbowl. Not trying to knock on one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time. Just saying, he wasn't exactly the best quarterback in the post-season. I would take Big Ben, Brady, or hell I might even take Eli before I took Peyton in the playoffs.
