Where will Peyton Manning QB in 2012?

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I did not expect it... not at all.

I'd let him walk... for sure. The team is in desperate need of being retooled and they can't afford to spend that kind of money on a guy who might still have some tread on him, especially when they are getting a QB who is supposed to be the most NFL ready rookie since, well ever (or whatever). They are replacing personnel left and right... drop Manning, get Luck, fix the team as best as you can in the next two-three years while Luck learns and then watch out AFC South.

From what I have heard, Manning will never be what he was on the field. He can't re-injure his neck holding a clip board. The guy is going to be a GREAT coach one day...

I don't think just any desperate team is going to take Peyton. It's not just his injury that is difficult to over come but also the fact that it is going to take a while to install an offense that Peyton has been using for years and bring it to a new team. Peyton is an OC as much as he is a QB he will be assuming so much control or he will be unhappy. Things could get ugly.

He will retire. A surgically repaired neck (not knee or shoulder a fuging neck with all it's complex vertebrae, nerves and poo like that) will bow before the might of the physical freaks that are NFL defensive players. If he doesn't retire, he risks not being able to hold his grandkids. He is only 36.....he probably has 50+ years after football and should consider that.

    • Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.
    • ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
