Yeah he'll be back, but for how long? If he can comeback for just another 3 years, I'll be ecstatic.

Me too. I think people expecting Peyton to play at his MVP level for another 5 years is a little unrealistic. Just because Favre played for so long doesn't mean anyone else can. Very few guys last that long and stay that productive.

3 years at a high level would be great.

Oh good. The doctors, trainers, coaches, owners, and players weren't enough confirmation for me that Manning could come back. Now that Joe says so...WHEW!!!

:-P

First of all, we are only told what the organization wants out there. With the lying that we saw with Marvin's injury, you should be much more skeptical of what the organization is putting out.

Moreover, none of them are top-level NFL QB's who had a similar neck surgery. That experience offers a different insight that someone else, even a doctor, cannot add.

Your comment is nothing more than good ol' fashioned knee-jerk sniping.

Just your ability to read a posts is in error. Man this board has really dumbed down.

Not to be trite (or agree or disagree with the intellectual fortitude of this board), but your original post was not super clear. You said:

Moreover, none of them are top-level NFL QB's who had a similar neck surgery. That experience offers a different insight that someone else, even a doctor, cannot add.

At first glance, considering the negativity of the paragraphs above and below these two sentences, it looks as if you are saying that none of the players who commented, including Joe Montana, are top-level QBs.

I had to read it a second time after reading your second post to get what you were saying.

For the record, I'm not convinced PM will be back and/or ever play at the same high level, but I'm rooting for him to be.

So Joe Montana was NOT a top QB? Hey each person has their own opinion.

First, note that the entire post was in direct response (hence the quote) to Doogansquest. Doogan said "the doctors, trainers, coaches, owners, and (Colts) players weren't enough...."

In direct response, "First of all (meaning the next point would be in direct follow up to this first point), we are only told what the organization wants out there".....and then "...none of them (see first comment in his post..them refers to the organization, more specifically the "them" that doogan was referring to i.e. doctors, trainers, coaches, owners, and (Colts) players") are top-level NFL QB's who had a similar neck surgery."

The statement wasn't "none of them are top-level NFL QB's".......it was "none of them are top-level QB's who had a similar neck surgery". I don't see how he was unclear. However, and this is one of the biggest problems on this board imo, is that if there were any confusion, why not simply ask for clarification instead of coming back with a snide, sarcastic response due to YOUR misunderstanding of what he said?

ummmm... I simply felt this was an interesting "perspective" on Manning's Injury. Nowhere in this post is or interview is there a "diagnosis"...... Only a point of view from someone who has "been there."

anywhere from two months to forever

Yeah pretty much, though the general consensus so far is that he should have no problem being able to return. The concern rather is whether he'll be able to return to his previous form and have the same arm strength he had before the surgeries.

Yes, this is the issue. There is NO guarantee his triceps nerve will come back to 100%

We all just have to wait and see.

      Colts OTAs Thread May 21st-23rd; May 29th-31st

      AR is on the McAfee show. He just said he is 100% and has never felt better. Then he went on to say, opposing teams haven't seen nothing yet once JT and I lineup in the backfield!

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I have read numerous scouts and they had him ranked as the  #3 WR in the draft based on talent. I loved the pick but let's not fool ourselves, there is something that made him drop to the 2nd. I am not going to say it is character and/or lack of production. Ballard can go on his rant all he wants, but there was a reason. If he succeeds and becomes a legit #1, then we will wont care. My guess is if he fails to live up the hype, then we  it will leak out why he never reached his full potential. At this point, I couldn't care a less, as I loved the pick at the time and it was the Colts taking a chance with some questions about Mitchell. The one thing I did not like was Ballard going on his rant is he should have just kept quiet and said we like he player. Him going on a rant leaves him open to criticism if for example Mitchell does not work out and say it comes out that he has a poor attitude, work ethic etc.

      Your surprise opening day starter

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Actually,  I don't think you can really say who is the #2. I think, they actually want Pittman to be relegated to that role as they are hoping that Mitchell or Pierce can finally assume that take the top of the defense  #1 wr.  I don't put to much stock in Mitchell unseating Downs as they play to different positions. Downs is the slot and Mitchell is hopefully that legit #1 that the Colts have never had. So in saying, Mitchell will not be unseating Downs, as they will be asked to do different things. I think the Colts are just hoping to have that legit #1 guy and then everyone else can play the role they were drafted for. If Mitchell or Pierce break out, you will see the ball spread out to the remainder of the WR's and TE's.

      Interesting Note on Last 2 Colts Receivers Drafted High

      By csmopar · Posted

      Keep in mind, with drops, it has always been very subjective to whether it was a “drop” or not. Which is why the rates vary so much

      Wide Receivers are getting paid!

      By NFLfan · Posted

      That is about how much I heard he might get. I am glad it is over and we are not waiting for the other shoe to drop (leave in FA or choose not to play).   Now, all the pressure is on him to perform
