If he's out indefinitely, doesn't that conceivably put the Colts in the running for the Andrew Luck sweepstakes? Oh, the irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#34fan Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Manning is DONE. All this maybe he will/maybe won't stuff is a smokescreen for the fact that the guy's neck is totally eff'd up! Trust me. The constant, gnawing pain of a degerative spine condition (especially in the lower lumbar or neck) is a career-ending condition. I think we may be witnessing the beginning of the end of the Manning era in Indy. Edited September 5, 2011 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Polian and his son "are all that", how could they let the QB situation develop to where if Manning can't play, their best bet is hauling Kerry Collins out of retirement?

dpberr Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Manning is in that territory now of wondering if football is worth it. Spinal surgery is like doing a pull on a car frame. It's never quite the same. It's slightly weaker than it was. If you're Manning, do you wonder if you're one hit away from very serious injury that doesn't last a week or a season, but a lifetime? He's made a ton of money, and has a future in broadcasting and media after football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made a ton of money, and has a future in broadcasting and media after football. True, but Manning isn't just any other player. He's cemented himself into one of the greatest players to ever play the game, and if he feels as if he still has some left in the tank, he'll want to remove all doubt and put himself ahead of the other immortal greats. I don't think it's about the money either, I think it's about his legacy. Put Manning on the Bills, and they're a lock to make the playoffs. He's that good.

Exactly my thoughts too. Fitzy is my backup, which in a weird way is kind of reassuring. Everybody laughed at me for picking Manning in the 4th round and told me to use my next pick to draft a neck for Manning. So 5 rounds later I picked his brother. Win-win for me. Also, if Manning is out for the season there will be a firesale in fantasy land where people are getting rid of Wayne/clark/garcon/collie or trading them. Edited September 5, 2011 by Bills!Win!

Colts get a decent QB not as long in the tooth as Palmer. Palmer gets a decent OL and a good team. Bengals get something, instead of nothing, for Palmer.

todd Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 It really is amazing how Manning can carry his whole damn team. Between Brady and Manning, I'd have to pick Manning for this reason. They are both awesome players (it pains me to say that about a cheatriot), however I don't think Brady could carry an entire team the way Manning does. They will be the Spurs of the NFL. Bad enough just one year to draft another once in a generation player. Without Manning, the Colts aren't that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
