He'd likely be an OC for a couple seasons first, but would love to see him move forward with his career. Has a great command of the game, the likes of which haven't been seen in a long time.Manning to coach in 3...2...1...
Because it's Peyton Manning. That's why.....Why not send in the backup....
I like Peyton...when I lived in Indy I got to see a lot of his games and he's just an exciting player...the city loved him and bringing them a SB banner was great for the city. I'd hate to see him pull a Favre and degrade his legacy and I know it's hard to walk away from something you love doing. The last decade has seen too many teams lose their prime QB to injury....esp. with these longer seasons so it behooves any team to sign a veteran QB to insert them into the lineup when there is a sense of injury to the main guy....give the backup enough snaps to keep him current with receivers so there is that natural timing and sequence like the #1 QB.Because it's Peyton Manning. That's why.....
But I don't disagree on your other points.
Friendly wager on this? I've already proved my point with Manning....so I'm giving you that one but I don't see Rodgers being able to pull off the next game with the Seahawks esp. when you see how Wilson and company played last week. Given the fact that Rodgers and Manning are amazing at what they do when they are healthy no QB can win big games at a 70% level with any consistency because they are limited and we saw Peytons errant passes because he was unable to use his own talents to get the job done. I'd take a lot of the other QB's at 100% against Rodgers and Manning at 70%....percentages don't lie and even though I tend to be a fan as much as the next person reality of an injury and playing through it doesn't mean they are going to win the majority of the time.I still disagree. 70% Rodgers and Manning are better than most quarterbacks.....
