ReMeDy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Wow, how much cap space would that leave us with? Maybe we could have drafted Nnamdi Asomugha five times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21isSuperman Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 It won't happen. Apparently the surgery doesn't have long term complications, so even if we don't see him this year (which is unlikely), he will be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That waywe can play against one very angry Manning twice a year. That was a justified trouting, sorry dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzer40 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Did anybody even stop to think for a minute that the OP was just putting it out there as an option in case this turned into a career ending injury??? It looks like thats not the case, but good God this forum has got really lame the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like thats not the case, but good God this forum has got really lame the last few days. That's why I started a thread about it that the original post should have went into. Some people don't even look at other threads before they post their own thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My trout trigger finger has been twitchy, since Manninghas been put on the `Bob Sanders street clothes' list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenoughrunner Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I think Manning will be out for maby 4 to 5 weeks tops. Its Manning we are talking about he is a work aholic he is going to get back on the field some how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Manning we are talking about he is a work aholic he is going to get back on the field some how.being a workaholic has nothing to do with this. It takes two months AT LEAST (and most don't buy that) for it to heal. Being a work aholic is nothing to improve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitto Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well its good to hear that manning has a very good chance of coming back but its also good to hear the colts can cut him if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltfaninnewyork Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I hope my boy is back for many more years,i think if he misses this year that man will be even more hungry and motivated to wreak havoc on the league in 2012.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a justified trouting, sorry dude.Did you every think that maybe Manning gets injured during rehab and never takes another snap in a Colts uniform? Didn't think so with the reply that you made. Also if Manning comes back then the Colts wouldn't have to opt out of his contract. Lets have more than a middle school reply guys.

Indra Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Watched the video on SI where Dr. Gupta explained the procedure. He says that about after a week Manning can get back into the weight room and start rehabbing his triceps. That's promising. Knowing that there isn't anything physical holding him back other than rehab that quickly is a promising sign, knowing Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoColts8818 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Why would we opt out?Only way we would is if we knew Manning's career was over. If it is I don't think we are going to know in Febraury. I think we are going to at least give him a pre-season and more than likely a season to prove it's over and he just can't go on the field. Look at what we did with Marvin Harrison. Now granted if Peyton develops what Cooper has that changes it but based on everything I've heard from the doctors asked about this that doesn't sound likly. It sounds like they expect him to recover but they are slightly concerned about him not getting his arm strength back. We aren't going to know it's back or not till he steps out on field again. I would say the odds of us releasing Manning are very very very small because it means his career is over. Still I don't think the OP is saying we will or anything like that. They are just making the point it is an option should we need it that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think so with the reply that you made. Also if Manning comes back then the Colts wouldn't have to opt out of his contract. Lets have more than a middle school reply guys. Sorry DudesThat's thinking seriously outside the box in negative way. I'm sure he's not going to do anything extreme that would put his career in jeopardy. According to the local news last night players have a 72% chance of returning and averaging 29 games before their career is done. This includes many other positions that require much more contact than a QB. Dealing with any nerve injury it can still be career threatening, but it's a procedurethat many NFL players have recovered from. Stop whining about middle school responses as well, it's a forum. You think everyone is going be sophisticated on a forum, I'm sure you've posted many middle school replies yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
