manning out for season?

[sayheykid1]

Everything I have read about this procedure is what led me to that conclusion. As far as putting him on IR, the Colts won't put him on IR until after the surgery and a prognosis report.

I must have missed the news about him having another surgery. My bad.

No worries at all, it was just announced this morning...

I am going to get teased mercilessly for picking him, hopefully his brother will have a good year for me.

Numerous sources are reporting it will take 2-3 months minimum for recovery.

Well he has played brilliantly for 12 or 13 years straight. You can't really be faulted for expecting that to continue.

Fusing vertabrae in the neck because of nerve damage done in the first clean up surgery is what I hear. That can't be good. I'd think he's out a lot longer than a month.

That is a pretty big deal, that ended Shannon Sharpe's career. Maybe it's different for a QB though, since they don't usually require the full motion of their neck in the same way a WR does.

Ya, maybe not to the extent that a wide receiver needs it but I would think the Qb would want full motion of his neck as well as he goes through his progressions as well as when he's trying to avoid a rush. Nerve damage in the neck ususally causes a lot of pain during the throwing motion as well

I would think the risk of re-injury is a critical issue as well. This, in a way reminds me of when Montana went through is back surgery - a lot of uncertainty, a lot of nerves. I can feel a lot of empathy for the fans in Indianapolis. I hope all goes well.

Me too. Manning seems like one of the good guys.

The saddest part is if he is done, he probably doesn't have enough money to live on.....

 

[MW49ers5]

Wow - Just wow!

Yea...$200 mill can't buy everything you need.

Who else's fantasy team is fucked?

Mine is but not because of Manning. I have the only Green Bay receiver who did not catch a TD pass last night on my team.

The real question is: How will the Texans fuck this up?

That's hilarious - because it's a valid question!

 

[BINGO]

Here's to Peyton getting to a speedy recovery with all his money.

But, why couldn't this happen when we had their first rd pick?

I repped you for that. Mannn, that would have been sweet if this injury/surgery had taken place the year after we had traded with them.

 

[threelittleturds]

Manning's surgery went well, 2 months of rehab (ESPN)

Looks like he might miss the whole season, but these doctors are giving him a good chance at recovery. Maybe he'll just miss this year and come back.

Wonder if Indy is talking to Garrard.
