serphnx Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 According to football guys: The latest on Colts QB Peyton Manning. Jake Query, a radio host on WNDE in Indianapolis is reporting that sources are telling him that Peyton Manning is out for the year. Query posted this on his twitter feed today: "What I (Query) said: A source I consider reliable told me he is out for the season. I do believe that the actual diagnosis is still being determined" Query then followed that with: "I (Query) was also told the 3rd procedure has taken place, either Sun or Monday." Understand that this is not official by any stretch. This is a radio host in Indianapolis (that I don't know much about) saying this is what his sources are telling him. It certainly fits with the worse case scenarios we've been envisioning but it should be stressed that we have no facts or words from the Colts to back this up. It's also worth noting that the Colts and Bill Polian are going to be the absolute last people on earth to tell us this. My gut feel is that I'd positively let someone else take the chance on Manning at just about any price right now. I know some are saying now is the time to scoop him up for pennies. I'm not one of those guys. This is perhaps not related in any way shape or form, but I think it's worth understanding that Peyton's older brother, Cooper, quit football after it was discovered he had a congenital spine issue. I'm NOT saying Peyton has the same issue. But I am saying Cooper's issue is something he thinks about as he plans his future. It would be impossible for it not to be considered for him.

stoicsentry Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 who cares. Sucks to see someone hurt, but if he doesn't play then it's good news for us. Obviously we want to win the division but Colts without Manning means only Houston will be viable, making the wild cards that much easier to grab. IF Manning is out all season, AFC playoff picture looks like this: Likely competitors: West: San Diego, North: Pittsburgh, Baltimore South: Houston East: Jets, Pats In other words, a playoff spot will be there for all of these teams. When you look at who exactly will compete with them, there's not much there. West: Chiefs: possible, but not likely, North: no one (Cincy and Cleveland aren't going anywhere this year), South: no one, Jax and Tenn aren't going anywhere this year), East: Dolphins: possible, but not likely. So the teams that may push for wildcard spots are just the Chiefs and Phins. Not much competition there. You gotta feel good about the chances of gaining a wildcard again at the very least.

SoFlaJets Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Here's my theory: The Colts will put Peyton on IR and tank the season and go 2-14 so they can draft Andrew Luck and have another QB who will carry the team and organization for the next 10-15 years like Manning did.

slats Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Colts owner: Peyton Manning will be out “awhile” Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 8, 2011, 9:17 AM EDT The news about Peyton Manning’s injury is going to get worse before it gets better. The latest from Colts information director/owner Jim Irsay, via Twitter: “NFL Season opens 2nite!We had a good practice yesterday and r guys r fired up 4 the season.#18′s out for awhile,but compete,we will/BELIEVE,” Irsay wrote. That followed up a tweet on Wednesday night from Irsay that said Manning hasn’t had another surgery, and that the Colts would add information and clarity to the situation soon. This much is clear: Manning’s injury is not going to be a one or two week problem. This is going to take “awhile.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a guy like that covers up for a lot of other boneheaded moves they made and will make I thought they did do that to get Peyton too in the first place. They know how important that top QB prospect is. Especially if you get Peyton to tutor his heir apparent (and he would do it too without hesitation). I'm still sore at Parcells for pulling that crap and not getting us Peyton when we had the chance. Both Mannings would have been in NY that way too.

Given I know nothing about Dalton outside of watching him against the Jets in the preseason. But that doesn't seem like a good job by the Bengals then.
