I'm sorry, I just don't think coming back from nerve damage in the shoulder is nearly as significant as 3 torn ACLs in a row. I'm not arguing that I think TD *will* win, obviously the "more popular player in a marquee position" is the deciding factor, but that doesn't make it right. That shouldn't be a factor.

Nor should he. I love TD, but Manning will probably win it in a clean sweep.

Sorry I have to disagree. Yes Manning is having one hell of a season after his neck injury. But to come back after three ACL tears on the same knee, thats just unheard of and has never happened. Let alone after 2 ACL tears.

With Manning you're not talking about nerve damage in his shoulder, we're talking about his neck. Peripheral nerves are a part of that, but you're talking about a rather vulnerable area of the central nervous system which could very easily cause catastrophic damage. The cervical spine is important as anything not named heart or brain.

Lol...Manning doesnt have just a sore neck. He has had an opeartion called a spinal fusion. Ive had the same operation on my lower back, and the fact that Manning is even playing at all, much less playing great, is absolutely incredible to me. I cant even get out of bed most days without significant pain 3 years after my surgery.

Peyton himself said he called Dallas Clark to workout with him on some high school field in private bc he needed to throw to someone he could trust, primarily because he was throwing it into the dirt as a duck about 10 yards in front of him with almost no pop.

It was nerve damage in his neck and right arm. The human body can overcome a lot. Not saying the media didn't make it a big deal, but I am decently sure for 90% of people it'd have been career ending at 38.

You act like anybody could shred a knee 3 times & return as good as ever. Thomas isn't a spring chicken himself, & plays one of the most physical positions in sports.

Amen, I've already had 3 back surgeries with the last being a complete thorasic fusion, 2 rods and 24 nifty, titanium screws for me! But you're right, I'm a year and a half removed from my last procedure and refilled a Percocet rx today.

      Can’t get over this

      By Newtcase · Posted

      It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.

      Shingles…

      By Lame Duck · Posted

      First day in 3 weeks my pain started to dwindle just a tiny bit.  Got switched from hydrocodone to post-shingles pain patches.  My insurance refused to pay for my patches as I’m too young for shingles per them.  I also need a prescription to get shingles shot and insurance also won’t pay for it even thought I just had shingles and in high risk to get it again.
