Good luck number 18.  You have been such a class act all of these years, I have no idea how the NFL will look without you!  Play on Sir!!

[BullsColtsFan1]

Never count him out!

[jvan1973]

I'm not surprised at,all

[amfootball]

Good for Peyton. Will be fun to see him perform in Kubiak's offense.

[SouthernCal]

Hopefully he doesn't turn into Farve.

[Fx Stryker]

Is this really a surprise though?

I don't think anyone truly thought he was going to retire. Except those who were falsely hoping.

Thanks for the confirmation Gramz.

also that link as well.

 

Yeah I didn't think Peyton would hang it up this year, I think he for sure of course plays this next year and a 60/40 chance he plays the following year.

[Detectacon]

I figured he would be back. My guess is this is his final year though. With his declining health, especially late in the season, he is about finished. With his competitive nature I understand why he is giving it another go. I know he has always said that he is not concerned with records. But with less than 2200 yards to get the all time passing record I am sure it was a consideration at some point. Good Luck 18 and best wishes (except against the Colts). We will be waiting with open arms to welcome you hoe when you hang up the Sheriff's hat.

That's my boy

Manning and Kubiak? In Denver? Well this should make for good T.V.

this will work well, believe me.

I am curious to see the new DC for Denver

[Qwiz]

For the sake of AFC competition I hope it doesn't, but you could be right, it might be a good fit. I just think things could go in several different directions as far as playcalling/in-game decisions when it comes to these two guys working together. I'm curious as to who their new DC will be as well, maybe Kubiak will bring Wade Phillips in for an interview?

The old Texans crew getting back together in Denver.

It will be ....Kubiak apparently spoke to him and they have a lot of mutual respect...

I think they can design a hybrid of what Peyton does and what Gary K does..

You know I've always thought that he signed for 5 years and he'll play the 5 years..

This news tell ,me his injury..is not overly serious and is healing..

I'd have been very disappointed had he quit since 8 weeks ago, he said he was coming back...if the team would have him.

You've got a quarterback playing for a quarterback with a quarterback as GM..no way it doesn't work

[oldunclemark]

Manning and Kubiak? In Denver? Well this should make for good T.V.

I didn't know Kubiak grew up in Houston...almost 25 years in Denver but a Houston native.

..and Kubiak's son is an intern for the Broncos

I think manning was just discouraged because he couldn't get it gong in that playoff game

[Qwiz]

That's what I'm thinking...how ironic

Yep, a Houston native, even had a son or two who played football at Rice while he was still living here. Didn't know his son was an intern for the Broncos, but like FX said, I guess he's going to be bringing a lot of familiar faces with him to Denver.

[Moose Of Woe]

Let's see if Kubiak can give Denver's players a backbone.

[House]

Can't wait to see Peyton run his first bootleg.

[jvan1973]

Can't wait to see Peyton run his first bootleg.

yeah, i don't see kubs leaving those in the playbook next year

[Fx Stryker]

That's what I'm thinking...how ironic

Well there were reports he wanted to play in Houston in 2012.

[jvan1973]

That's what I'm thinking...how ironic

how is that irony?

[House]

yeah, i don't see kubs leaving those in the playbook next year

Only kidding.

[Fx Stryker]

If it works, why not. Not expects Peyton to run a bootleg. Could be a surprise.

[buffalo34]

Now my biggest worry is that Kubiak receives when winning the coin toss. The Broncos pretty much deferred with John Fox as the HC. Does Peyton get to override Kubiak on the coin toss and keep deferring?

[Qwiz]

Well there were reports he wanted to play in Houston in 2012.

Yeah, I've even heard that Manning actually had us as his number one option, but....McNair said he didn't want him here. He wasn't of the belief that Manning could come back from his surgery and play at a high level, so it may be our owner's fault that Manning/Kubiak didn't happen sooner.

[Qwiz]

how is that irony?

Manning picked on Kubiak's team for years, and of course a lot of his fans loved to dump on Kubiak and the Texans, saying how terrible they were and how Manning would own them forever. Now those same fans are going to be rooting for Kubiak and his scheme, now that Manning is playing in it. I just find it amusing.

I hope not. He isn't the head coach.

and at that time Matt Schaub was a Pro Bowl choice, right?

[BloodyChamp]

Did anybody else notice Manning cringe and basically force the words "Imma big fan of his" out of his mouth after he broke Favre's record? I was a little heartbroken, but I should have known that The Sheriff and The Ole Gunslinger couldn't be friends.

Manning sent him a hand written letter when favre retired

[BloodyChamp]

He does that to every quarterback who retires, and he was actually the first to say Favre wasn't retiring in the summer of 2008 in an interview that gave me the same feeling as the other one I references :/

[Fx Stryker]

I'm a little lost on the reference to Brett Favre.

I wouldn't think they even know each other

[BloodyChamp]

I was first referring to Peyton's postgame interview on the sidelines after the record breaking game.

They should know each other pretty well. They both played in the league together for several years and Archie was Favre's favorite growing up.

[ruksak]

Awesome. I thought the man to be done, frankly.

Oh okay. I remember they asked Favre if he was going to watch and he responded "I don't watch football."

[corgi]

Good for him. As long as he is still able to play well he should continue to suit up. If he thought he couldn't do it he would not be back.

[mintor]

as long brady still playing in nfl so will manning as i told you . manning will not let brady  keep playing and beat his records.  rivalry  between both qb.s
