Peyton Manning

[flamingrey]

Apparently there are rumors afloat that the GOAT might miss the entire season.

It has also been suggested his neck injury could be career threatening.

Underwent another surgery.

They are being tight lipped enough about this situation that I think it could be really bad......

Yeah, it doesn't sound good at all.

I was listening to NFL live yesterday and Steve Young was saying that if the nerve just isn't regenerating there is no amount of rehab he can do to fix that. Someone also said that the next step if he comes back too soon could be paralysis. He may be done. And if he doesn't play this year, what happens? Colts are the worst team in football and get his replacement in Andrew Luck.

 

[flamingrey]

The Colts wish they didn't pick up Kerry Collins. I think Collins will win them 3-4 games. Just enough to kick them out of the Luck sweepstakes. Had they stuck with their backup, they'd be a lock for Luck.

 

[flamingrey]

And yes, nerve regenerates by its own, there isn't anything you can do to help progress it. And in many cases the nerve never regenerates.

 

[Tubbs1518]

IDK if the colts can win that. I mean that is a really bad team. We will see just how good those WR's and Clarke really are without Manning there.

He didn't have another surgery, but Jim Irsay posted on twitter that he was out "awhile".

 

[Cincyfan78]

They'll bench Collins at some point. No way they'll play out the season like that and miss out on Luck. They will tank it.

yea, that's how it would go down, Colts go from manning to Luck, and we go from kitna to 4-12 Palmer to mid-tier Dalton. wtf.

The NFL has it out against the Bengals.

Nah Mike Brown has is out against the Bengals. Although ESPN annoys the crap outta me talking about how bad we are going to be....as if there aren't 3-4 other teams just as bad

Indianapolis Colts' Peyton Manning has more surgery on neck, sources say - ESPN

No way he returns this year.

 

[vancelot23]

They said he had fusion surgery, which had a 3-4 months recovery time minimum.

 

[vancelot23]

Wouldn't that be some luck (pun intended) for the Colts to draft Peyton Manning, then 14 years later, Manning get hurt, they suck, and draft the guy most are saying is the best QB prospect since Manning?
