All Encompasing Peyton Manning Thread

Stunning news per PFT. And he just signed that huge contract. Hmmmm......

Here’s one that we considered holding until we could get confirmation. But the emails are flowing in like chocolates on a conveyor belt, and the only way to turn the machine off is to post an item on what could be a stunning development in the saga of Colts quarterback Peyton Manning.

Radio host John Michael Vincent of ESPN 1070 in Indianapolis says via Twitter, citing multiple unnamed sources, that Manning needs another procedure on his neck, and that Manning is out indefinitely.

Manning has had two neck surgeries in the last two years, and there have been concerns regarding his recovery and rehabilitation. The team’s recent decision to sign Kerry Collins raised eyebrows. Since then, Manning has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list, and he lately has seemed upbeat when discussing the situation with the media. Also, the decision to keep only two other quarterbacks.

Says John Michael Vincent, who goes by his initials on the air, of his report: “I’m not trying to be a newsbreaker. Never cared for that. I thought you would like to know. Seems to be solid. If I’m wrong U can torch me.”

The Colts have been silent so far, but owner Jim Irsay has made an indirect reference on Twitter to the classic astronaut SOS: “Houston, we have a problem.” Instead of typing those words, Irsay has opted for the lesser-known follow up.

“Excuse me, sir, I think this will be our finest hour.”
If JMV is accurate, Colts fans will have a hard time agreeing with that.

No, that's "WOW! just WOW!"

Hope he's fine but that's the one guy in the NFL who literally cannot be replaced. If he's really going to miss the season then they're going to be in the drivers seat for Andrew Luck come draft time. Figures.
 
So does this mean that if Manning is out all year and the Texans win the AFC South in 2011, people will say the same thing about the them they said about the Rockets when then won the NBA title while MJ wasn't with the Bulls ?

Who cares, potential home playoff game is all that matters. Feel bad for Manning but injuries happen to the best of them. Obviously we need to wait for better confirmation on the injury anyway.

If this Luck kid is half as good as they say he is, then the #1 overall next year is really gonna be valuable under the new CBA rookie wage scale where teams don't have to cough up huge sums of guaranteed money for the top picks.

You could just as easily say the Texans would have been a better team if not having to start a franchise against the greatest QB to play the game.

Or you could say that Manning's #'s are only so great cus he gets to play the Texans secondary 2x a year for the last 10 years.

People will always say something.

Usually I wouldn’t believe this for a second, but Manning is on my fantasy team and I have a long history of season ending injuries for QB’s going way back to the early 90’s when Randall Cunningham didn’t make it through the first game, just like Tom Brady who I also had the year when he went down.

Can you please never draft Matt Schaub? Oh and i would suggest sticking with QBs in our division :)
 
Does anyone know what kind of surgery he had? I was reading that the recovery requires some kind of nerve regeneration?

Dude, if you draft Schaub and he goes down, you might want to go into protective custody. Like RWB said, stay in-division and draft Garrard and/or Hasslebutt.

Wont ever take him; promise fellas.

I was talking with my Dad about this ff draft and he gave me a hard time for taking a hurt Manning but I told him I’m winner either way: either he doesn’t play and it helps the Texans or he does and my fantasy team rocks.

The good news for Colts fans? According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, a new procedure/surgery on quarterback Peyton Manning’s neck has not been performed nor is plan.

The bad news? Here are the key words from Mort: “As of now.”

Mort says that Manning is “getting multiple opinions” and “still waiting for answers on slow progress.”

Mort also offered up an ominous but vague assessment of Manning’s availability for Week One against the Texans. Pointing out that the Colts didn’t believe Manning would be ready for the opener upon signing quarterback Kerry Collins, Mort now says that “arring [a] miracle, that’s more evident.”

As to Manning’s status and the slow recovery following the May procedure, Mortensen writes that “[o]ne possibility is scar tissue trapping inflammation/nerves,” but that there is “no consensus” among the doctors who are on the case.

Bottom line? It’s looking more and more like Manning won’t play in Week One. The bigger question at this point is whether he’ll be available come Week Two, and beyond.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this could be career threatening. Nerve damage/regeneration is highly ambiguous and varies widely from individual to individual. It could take weeks or months.
 
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6931858/peyton-manning-neck-being-re-evaluated-doctors-sources-say

"According to sources, multiple neurosurgeons have been consulted throughout the course of Manning's recovery, but they do not have a consensus reason for the slow pace. The sources added that Manning was still waiting for more information from doctors.

The Colts activated Manning from the physically-unable-to-perform list on Aug. 29 and cleared him to practice on a limited basis. However, sources said Sunday that he has not been able to throw anywhere near his pre-surgery capacity. Manning had been on the PUP list since the team's first training camp practice on Aug. 1 following the May procedure to repair a nerve in his neck. "

Great, we'll have to play Luck twice a year for next 10-12 years. Figures

Well then, thanks are in order for you having drafted him. I very much appreciate it.

The Colts are still a way better team then coming in last. Kerry Collins has proved that he can still play a bit and they have a decent defense and still some solid playmakers. I could see the Dolphins getting Luck. Not saying that if Manning is out for the season that Barkley cant come into Indy

How so? The entire premise of the offense runs through Manning. Their defense is horrible and they've done liitle to improve it.
 
Let's not talk **** anywhere or on anyone. We certainly can't afford to **** on luck that we've never demonstrated having.

I'm giving them all the props in the world. They, on the other hand, started out talking **** but have calmed down. It was just funny seeing how defensive they are. Wild animals caught in a trap and all.
 
Jim Irsay is freaking out Colts fans

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/09/05/jim-irsay-is-freaking-out-colts-fans/

Irsay’s tweets are often song lyrics. When they aren’t lyrics, he’s often just messing around. But Nate Dunlevy at the excellent Colts blog 18to88.com compiled some of Irsay’s tweets since Friday and the result is compelling.

Here are a few that stuck out, although you could check the whole list here.

1. “There was the Rams-K Warner Sup year./ There was Patriot 2001-Brady Sup.year.- Every year. is interesting n unpredictable in NFL!!!!” Irsay wrote.

Irsay translator: Both of those years began with quarterback injuries.

2. “Stampedblue and Jon Bauges/random or silly tweets,they r not..ur not hearing what I’m saying..riddle n codes r done4a reason,but it’s there.”

Irsay translator: He’s telling some Colts bloggers that his series of downer tweets aren’t just a goof. (He’s also saying that mean Mr. Polian doesn’t like too much information out there.)

3. Florio mentioned this one last night but worth repeating: “Excuse me, sir, I think this will be our finest hour.”

Calling upon Apollo 13 motivation about when things look darkest.

4. A new one from after midnight:

“I’m trying2prepare 12th Man as best I can,BUCK UP..if I’ve told u twice- The only thing the pity pot produces is a red ring around ur ass!” Irsay wrote.

That one is self explanatory. Pity pots now available at all major Indianapolis convenience stores and select locations of Steak ‘n’ Shake.

If this is true then clearly the Jags are the favorite to win the division (according the comments on that page).
 
Some people should have their twitter licenses revoked. Jim Irsay, for instance. If I'm Peyton Manning, I'm wringing Irsay's neck.

Yeah, it seems as if Irsay has really gone off the deep end; either that or he is jerking everyone’s chain.
