The Peyton Manning Discussion thread

[TheMatrix31]

Doctor on the Texans board I visit always posts about medical stuff going around. Pretty much predicted all of this. Said he wouldn't be surprised if Peyton's career is in jeopardy.

If these reports and uncertainty are real, then I really think he should take a year off and get better, because I don't want to see arguably the best QB of all-time flame out like this.

I honestly think we've seen the last of "great" Peyton Manning and if he comes back from this, he'll just be "good" Peyton. Which wouldn't be a bad thing because "good" Peyton is still better than 70% of starting QBs out here but "great" Peyton is better than 95-98% of starting QBs out here as well.

This whole thing has been kind of a downer to watch unfold. Aside from rivals of the Colts, I don't see how anyone can dislike Peyton. He's a great QB (arguably the best ever) and he's one of the faces, if not the face, of the NFL.

I really hope that this doesn't end up being serious and he is able to recover and give us close to the same quality of play that he did before, but it's not looking good.

Per injuryexpert tweet:

Indy radio host @jakequery reporting that Manning had another procedure on Sunday. Out for season. We'll see.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. Need something more concrete than that to believe it though.

Was this an issue last season as well? If so then I guess my thing is why would he wait until May to get the procedure done and not get it taken care of right after their season ended?
