Those declines you're observing are not only not huge, they're statistically insignificant.

And one outlier year? Now you're just ignoring pertinent facts. You glossed over the opportunity cost of acquiring RGIII, expressing preference for evaluating the moves in a vacuum. And now you're glossing over the injury Manning had that season.

If Peyton Manning wants to physically decline like John Elway did after age 35, sure would be fine by me. I wouldn't mind seeing him decline his way into two Super Bowls like Elway did.
