What people are forgetting that he is just cleared physically to play from the neck injuries.

His nerves still have yet to fully regenerate so it's not like he could step in today and play a game.

And we still don't know for sure IF they will ever fully regenerate.

Some Colts fans keep glossing over this fact.

It's not so much the process, but HOW the process is proceeding. :(

Bingo. I have no problem with the process. That's all part of the business, and everyone included are adults. But right now, NEITHER of them are really acting like adults. That's my problem. There was no reason for this to be hashed out this week. And for those above saying Peyton has every right to say what he says...when did I say he didn't??? Go back and read the very first post of this thread. I'm simply saying give it a rest until after the Super Bowl. It's not affecting Manning or Irsay, but it IS having an affect on local fans during what should be a celebratory week.

I am so fed up with this.

I have always thought that Peyton was one of the classiest and most respectful guys in the league, but I'm beginning to doubt it. Both sides are using the public to attempt to turn the fans agains the other one. Manning is going to get all the respect from the fans, but at this point I'm not so sure he deserves it.

The timing is unfortunate however i see it as if there is a lot of hints that Irsay is ready to move on and Peyton is a top world athlete that wants to play for the colts more than anything. He may see it as IF he gets cut did he do everything in his power to try to show Irsay and whoever else that he does not want retire or be let go to free agent. So if i were him i would do whatever i felt was best for myself/family interest. But yes the timing of it all couldn't be worse for it all.

As a long-time fan and supporter of BOTH men, I'm getting fed up with the spitting contest. This week isn't about Peyton, Irsay or the Colts. It's time for BOTH of you to be MEN, and knock off this childishness for the rest of the week. You are ruining the celebration for all of the fans that have supported you for years.

My two cents' worth.

Lordy lordy...Tuba blowing the horn in the other direction:)

Good for you and I agree 100%.

Oh well too late now, the game is just around the corner. Wanna bet it comes up in the SB announcing;)

It's the media's job to make something out of nothing. Manning leaving Indy is a much juicier story for them than him staying here. It's really a shame that they feel the need to force feed everybody this "Manning/Irsay fued". Take for example Manning's interview with Kravitz, where he said the environment was different and that everybody was walking on eggshells. What did people expect him to say, that it was business as usual? Of course it's different, and it feels awkward, but that doesn't mean that Manning is out the door. I would think if that was a certainty then Manning wouldn't even be around the Colts facility rehabbing the nerve. Everybody just needs to take a chill pill and relax, and regardless of what happens, it's out of our control. You'll either stand behind this team moving forward or you won't, it's really just that easy. GO COLTS!!!!

If Manning was doing everything in his power to stay then don't you think he should say that yes I will move the date for the bonus back if the nerve is still questionable and yes I will take less money by reworking my contract, seeing as how I just made $26 mil to rehab and cheerlead this last season. Whether Manning stays in Indy depends on Manning. Even though Irsay says it's not about the money, don't fool yourself, when you're in a business it's always about the money. Manning needs to make the concessions necessary for him to stay a Colt, because if not he won't be.

The process is going normal, the media wants ratings so they change the perception.

I tell you what Joker. I hope your right, because it sure would be a shame to see Peyton playing some where else if he is healthy next season. I will never not be a Colts fan, but it should would be like giving me a punch in the stomach to see that happen.

"Another Colts forum is pleading for both Irsay and Manning to “knock it off now.” That likely helps sum up the pulse of Colts fans around town. Irsay isn’t going to win a P.R. war with Manning, but this back-and-forth is making both sides look bad.

Manning and Irsay are doing a disservice to the fans that have supported them both during Manning’s amazing run with the Colts."

Couldn't agree more. I want Peyton Manning to remain a Colt. I want him to retire a Colt and for there to be parades and statues and the whole ball of wax. But at this point, I just want the media leaks, stories, back and forth statements, tweets, and media blitz to STOP.

Make a decision. If it is to let Peyton be released, whether or not that is in the team's best interests can be argument, but regardless, fans are going to be upset. There is no way they won't be. Get the decision over with if this is going to be it, and let us start to "grieve". But stop with the media games.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Smonroe · Posted

      Okay, I know this is a Mr. Obvious post, but bear with me.  What else do you have to do during the dead season, lol?   As a Buckeye, I appreciate how good CJ Stroud is.  In MHO CJ had better WRs and RBs when he was at THE OSU than he has in Houston.   So how did TTUN beat us (bad) two years in a row when he was in Columbus?  Simple, their Offense was way better than our Defense.   Bottom line - the Colts D doesn't have to be great.  Average will be good enough - IF the Colts offense is as good as we think it could be and play ball control, has extended drives, and limits the other teams possessions.  And maybe that's the plan considering Ballard not being too concerned with improving the DB rooms.   (Sure, it would be nice to have a great D.  No argument there)

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AKB · Posted

      Hey Everyone,   So, I just caught wind of Goodson's apology letter after dropping that short pass from Minshew against the Texans last season. Here's my humorous take on the situation:   "Dear Fans, Coaches, Teammates, and Supporters,   I'm writing to apologize for buttering up that short pass in the most critical moment against the Texans. Look, I know I'm the backup running back, but hey, I'm usually good for catching those short throws - emphasis on 'usually'. My bad for turning a routine play into a blooper reel moment.   To my teammates, sorry for making you wonder if I was secretly playing for the other team. Next time, I'll practice catching more than just footballs thrown by the water boy.   To the coaches, maybe let's reconsider throwing short passes to guys who have hands that are more slippery than a greased pig at the county fair. Just a suggestion.   And to the fans, thanks for turning my drop into a meme. I promise to work on my catching skills so I can make highlights, not lowlights, next season.   Sincerely, Goodson (aka the running back who should stick to running)"   Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but you get the gist. Let's hope Goodson has been hitting those catching drills hard this offseason!

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      I remember looking for highlights of TJ after we drafted him.  I kept finding videos of him following OJ Howard into the endzone.  Not sure if Howard was his responsibility, but it didn't paint a promising picture.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AKB · Posted

      Ballard,   So, yeah, about that whole "bust" thing—I guess the cat's out of the bag. Turns out, I'm more of a popcorn fart than a thunderclap. My bad.   When you drafted me, I thought I was gonna be the Colts' next big thing. You know, sacking quarterbacks, making highlight reels, maybe even getting my face on a cereal box someday. But instead, I've been about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.   I've watched the tapes, Coach. I've seen the memes. They're comparing my NFL career to a hangover—starts off with high hopes, and ends with regret and a lot of Gatorade. And honestly, I get it. I'm like that guest who shows up to a party uninvited and ends up eating all the chips.   So, here's my mea culpa. I apologize for not living up to the hype. For every missed tackle, every missed sack, and that one time I accidentally tackled our own quarterback in practice (sorry, Philip). I'm like the guy who brings a guitar to a party and insists on playing Wonderwall—I'm annoying and not nearly as good as I think I am.   But hey, I'm not giving up. I'm hitting the gym, studying film (mostly bloopers at this point), and practicing my touchdown dance for when pigs finally fly. I promise to work harder and maybe, just maybe, I'll redeem myself and earn my place in the Hall of Mediocrity.   Thanks for believing in me, and letting me live my dream for 4 years straight whilst simultaneously producing nothing for your team. I'll make you proud yet, even if it's just by being the team's MVP of Bust Central, and we aren't talking bronze heads.    Sincerely, Ben "The Bust" Banagous (Not sponsored by Gatorade yet, but a guy can dream)
