Been told by multi sources that QB P Manning needs a 2nd neck procedure. Will remain out indefinitely.Called #colts and waiting on response.

If true, they won't be in the Super Bowl here in Indy.

Peter King from Sports ILL says: Talked to an authority on Peyton surgery this weekend. Learned it's all about nerve regeneration. You can't rush Mother Nature.

And the 'rumor mill' kicks into hi gear!!!

Not doubting what you read at all........ just I do not believe Manning will ever miss a regular-season Game 1 start. Until he's retired, that is.



GO COLTS!

Hey..... thanks for that info, buddy!

I'm not a Colts 'insider'...... but I do have a TV that Reggie Wayne gave me.

* bet you thought I was gonna' say-

"...but I play one on TV." -OR-

"....but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last nite."

IF...Manning is out it's gonna be an interesting season.
Collins is a more than capable QB. He's actually gonna have a good stable of receivers to throw to which he's never really had before. Line protection is very questionable and Collins isn't exactly a mobile qb.
It's gonna take some coaching "rabbit in the hat" stuff to pull anything off without Manning in the mix. Frankly, I don't see Caldwell and crew being up to the task.
Let's hope Manning is gonna play and rumors are just rumors.

I am not a Colts fan (Da Bears) but I'm not a hater either. I like to see the colts win (as long as theyre not playing the bears in the super bowl.....Shut UP) But I really think that if Manning is truly out for a long period of time the colts will be a lower half of the league team. Aside from Wayne and Clark, I think that Manning is the reason that the other receivers look good like Garcon and Collie for example. The defense has two great players on the line and a bunch of mediocre people behind them so other teams are going to score. WIthout Manning running the offense, I dont see the Colts being very good at all.

I highly dislike the Colts, but I really hope this isn't true...Which I'm guessing it isn't, since it's on twatter.

 

[Westside]

until the colts hold a press conference it is just a rumor to ignore.

Im about as die hard a Colts fan as you will find, long before Manning came around. With that being said, they weren't making the SB with him either.

Was reported by Adam Schefter on his twitter than it was filed to ESPN that Manning is undergoing a second opinion due to slow healing, but no surgeries at this time.

Id trust him over some colts blogger or random twitter people.

I would prefer Curtis Painter starting over Kerry Collins but I understand why 99% of Indy disagrees.

Peyton Manning's neck being re-evaluated by doctors, sources say - ESPN

 

[Swim404]

If you want Painter to start then you must really be eyeing a top draft pick haha. I would love to have some Luck in Indy!

 

[Farscape]

Neck injuries can be career threatening. A high pick will be needed to get a good QB if Painter is not the answer. Win or lose, playing Painter can solve a problem. Teams that ignore the odds and go all in for one last hurrah tend to spend years rebuilding rather than quickly reloading. I can't say that the reward of the ultimate Super Bowl isn't worth the risk but the consequences could be a lot worse than most would imagine. Peyton returning healthy for game 2 and playing 5 more years would make all of this a moot point.

Ok. Let's see. You're no longer a newbie here.... got your 6 weeks in. Not much newer than me, at INGO..... for that matter. So, man up! Be honest!


You are Curtis Painter, right!?

Painter looked a helluva lot better in the 3rd pre-season game than Collins did in the 4th. But in any event, the Colts should sit Manning the entire season, tank it, and get a high pick, maybe the first. This would be a great time to get a guy like luck. Giving manning a year off means he is 100% healthy next season and he has 3-4 years left, thats perfect to get a guy like Luck acclimated to the system and ready to take over.

I know you arent supposed to want your team to lose, but that could help the future of the Colts for the next 15 years.
