RUMOR: Peyton Manning to have 2nd neck surgery, IR likely

Their plan.

:eek:

Good very well be. However, I read that he did have a second one and that's why it's taking so long to heal. Peyton was going to visit with another doctor last week or this week.

Like the Colts need another distraction. it's rumored that Manning and his wife are splitting up. She just gave birth to twins in the off-season. I hope this one isn't true.

I know that Ashley Manning has built a nice real estate holdings company in and around Indianapolis. She is also the head of "Pay it Forward" Peyton's chairitable foundation.

January - Peyton tells Luck to stay in school.

May - Peyton has neck surgery....

August - Peyton's status for regular season questionable.

August 25 - Kerry Collins signs with team for "stop-gap" role til' Manning returns

Today - Peyton has another surgery, out at least 3 months (basically the whole season).

Maybe in the Future? - Collins has a "sudden" retirement, Colts throw Painter under center and have worst record in league. Draft Luck.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
