Peyton Manning possibly out for the year?

[killgod]

If True it'll be a hell of a season. I want to see Indy play 16 games without Manning. Maybe a New England - Matt Cassell situation will come up with Kerry Collilns bombin that shit and Joe Addai/Darren Evans straight goonin on niggas in the backfield.

or maybe not. but shit I'm still kind of excited about the season.

Excited to go 6-10?

lulz. Enjoy.

Rarely do we get a glimpse at a players true worth to there franchise. "Surrounding talent" argument is the cheap and easy one with every great player.
Mannings legacy can be vaulted or tainted depending how well the Colts do without him.

It's deeper than that.

I'm very interested to see how these wide outs play, how the O-line does, and what this means for the rushing game. (some people suggest Indy doesn't run the ball well because they choose not too, with no Manning Indy HAS to run the ball)

I'm ready to see what this team looks like without Manning when it actually matters. and if we DO go 6-10, I'm ready to see us grab some legitimate talent in the draft with a high first round pick for the first time in a LONG, LONG time. I don't think Indy has picked higher than 22 since Freeney.

I don't think the legend of Tom Brady was diminished with Matt Cassell's 11-5 season.

His legend was diminished by wearing this haircut out in public.

 

[killgod]

Well the Patriots need to be the best at everything in the AFC East. Sanchez is trying to out gay Brady and Brady slapped that bitch back down to earth.

Sources: More Peyton Manning surgery - out 2-3 months

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning had further neck surgery Thursday, sources familiar with the situation said.

Manning decided to have the surgery, the sources said, after consultation with a half-dozen doctors who reached a consensus that the most viable option would be a one-level cervical neck fusion in the wake of his May 23 surgery to repair a bulging disk. It's unclear whether Manning would be able to return to play this season.

of course you dont, but your belief that indy will go 6-10, while the pats won 11 is telling...

Telling that BB is a greater coach than the skill of all the Colts coaches ever combined?

LETS GO ADDAI!

LETS GO ADDAI!

Got him as a backup in two leagues because of the Peyton uncertainty. :kwon:

And Manning had targets that shit all over NE's for the longest while. Perhaps if Brady had Harrison, Wayne and Clark he would have hit 50 multiple times.

 

[killgod]

Easy to say that now when your team sucks. lol

Comparing the value of the QB to a shitty team doesn't make him better than the QB on a better team. More "VALUE" to their team, doesn't mean "better player".

 

[Bear Pand]

And now we get to see what most of those targets can do w/o Manning. If they go out and put up #s it won't reflect well on Manning. Just like the 11-5 season didn't reflect well on Brady.

It'd also dead all those cliche "Colts would be a 3 win team w/o Manning" arguments.

 

[killgod]

I don't think the 11-5 reflected poorly because Cassell just managed the games and was coached well. The total team was still good and I think that's all that was proven. Who's to say that with Brady they don't win 14-15 games that season?

It's not like Wayne/Clark aren't good players still, I would still expect them to perform under any QB...just more so from an elite one.

I don't think if the Colts were to still get production from those good players it makes Manning look bad.

 

[Bear Pand]

Well it'd have some impact on the way people view Manning. I think it'd be silly to argue that it would have no impact. And it obviously wouldn't be a positive one.

If Collins comes in and performs, rest of the offense doesn't miss a beat and Indy wins a bunch of games it'd put a chink in Manning's legacy. Maybe not a big one or an important one but it'd be there.

Manning is a legend, in the GOAT discussion. There's nothing this season is going to show that will alter that in any way IMO.
