Not a good development if you're a Colts fan.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

wow

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Say hello to a losing season for Indy.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Even if the second surgery goes well, is the type of injury that he wants to play with again? Football is a brutal sport and I'm sure players will be gunning for him if he returns.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

is this confirmed by anybody other than a radio host?

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Indy just gave him all that $$$$, I wonder if their thinking can we void that contract.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

It was somewhat obvious that something was wrong when they brought in Collins. Not like the Colts to be making panic moves like that.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Maybe we can trade INDY Miracle Man waiting to happen John Beck?

Or Grossman?

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Well until the Colts organization releases a statement, then it's not confirmed. But a few sources are reporting it. I guess we'll see.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

I previously had the Bengals finishing first in the Andrew Luck series. I think we may have a new winner with the Peytonless Colts.


Can you imagine them getting another high profile QB right when Manning is finishing his career?...lol FUUUUUUUU

He's already had a couple of surgeries to his neck.

Even without Manning I don't see them as 2-14 kind of bad. Maybe 5-11, 6-10.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

damn, as much as I hate him taking 30 seconds to snap the damn ball he is clearly one of the best that have ever played the position. Wonder how much flack he's going to take for signing the contract first?

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Finally the great Curtis Painter gets out of the shadow of the sucky Manning, although Grandpa Collins might steal his thunder.

Colts winning season string comes to an end.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

it would suck to be a skins fan right now. I would get a dog just to kick it <--vick reference for the win

What flack can you give Peyton Manning?

If he can't play anymore he would probably give the money back or donate it to charity.



Even though I will always give great respect to Peyton......Tom Brady is better.

Nobody pay attention to that statement. That's just for Gtripp.

I can't very well compliment Manning publicly without such disclaimer.

No, mort and Schefter both confirmed manning has NO 2nd surgery scheduled. He's just recovering slowly from his last surgery which is not unexpected. Tissue regeneration takes time.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

I can see him retiring after signing this recent contract. Indianapolis didn't owe him any more money and Peyton was being greedy knowing he was ailing. But he'll get off easy [insert race card here].

Whatever the case may be, he's not starting next week and he's out indefinitely.

Gotcha, just saying without him, if that's the case, they are doomed.

I hope he can play, he's one of my favorite players to watch.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

I'll second that Matty. I've always been a fan of Peyton and the way he plays qb. I guess with Peyton out we'll really get a true value of just how much he contributes to the team. My guess is the Colts won't look anything what they've looked like for the past decade.

For all the love the Colts front office gets, surprised they have never really been called out for not truly preparing for the Peyton might not play anymore.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

I'm actually more interested to see what he plays like when he does return. Neck injuries are nothing to eff around with.

True, they could have gone the Aaron Rodgers route, but that creates problems of it's own.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

wouldn't it be stupid for them to lose peyton for this year and waltz into andrew luck... I think I'd cry.

Better them than Dallas.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Peter King is also reporting that Peyton Manning has a sore back too.

`~~~~~~
Agreed. They had to know that one day they would have to go on with Manning. Poor planning by them.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Jeez you would think he's retiring by some of these reactions lol

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

The colts will go back to the same old colts when manning does hang it up for good

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

[quote=Mattyk;830914]True, they could have gone the Aaron Rodgers route, but that creates problems of it's own.[/quote]

Yes. For example, just how much money can they sink into the QB position? Given Manning's salary, to have a high quality backup is to have a troubled cap situation.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Wow...they are going to suck hard. Serves them right for not developing young qb. They make the Packers look genius with the 4th string qbs on thier roster.

[quote=saden1;830950]Wow...they are going to suck hard. Serves them right for not developing young qb. They make the Packers look genius with the 4th string qbs on thier roster.[/quote]No need. Suck for Luck and profit from perfect timing!!!

Great point, that's definitely right. Matty might be right in that it could bring more problems, ala what the Packers had with Favre waffling on retirement and them turning the team over to Rodgers, but all the same that's a good problem to have. I'd rather have that problem than the "pick the lesser of two evils at QB" problem we seem to have now.

As for the Colts entering the "suck for Luck" campaign, that remains to be seen how they play without Peyton. But it would appear it's time for the Colts to start planning for a future without Peyton because it looks like at some point that his neck problems might prevent him from playing as long as he wants to. He might want to think about what his future might be like post football with serious neck problems.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Manning isn't leaving football(as a player) like this ....not yet. As for the contract flak for what ,this guy took "less" money to keep other players around.Kerry Collins isn't the answer but it's not a bad sub.8-8 for the Colts

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Wow. Huge loss for Indy. They're just an averaged team w/out him.

True. But when Brady retires, does anyone think N.E. will suck? They won't be as good, but no one (assuming current FO is intact) thinks they will start tanking.

Either way terrible news for the NFL as a whole.

Re: Report: Peyton Manning Needs 2nd Neck Surgery
 

Thats too bad.....but on the Luck side of things......I'd rather he go to Indy than to an NFC team.

Yeah, they could've pull a NE and get a later round prospect with promising talent (i.e. Mallet).
