    Will Peyton Manning Retire?

    “My mindset right now is just disappointment after today’s game. I kind of need to process this game and we’ll meet tomorrow, kind of need to process this game, so I’m disappointed right now. … Yeah, I guess I just can’t give that simple answer. I’m processing it. I can’t say that. I could not say that.” Peyton Manning

    Manning should retire. His trajectory the last 2 years is strikingly similar to the end for the great mountain man Bert Favre. Old age strikes fast...and often with startling impunity.

    Favre
    2009 - career season...33 TDs, 7 INTs...only season over a 100 QB rating in his career. Looked like he could play for 3 more years.
    2010 - looked every bit like a 40 year old man who had absorbed a ton of abuse during his career.

    Manning
    2013 - career season...55 TDs, 10 INTs...second highest QB rating in his career. Looked like he could play for 3 more years.
    2014 - during the second half of the season looked every bit like a 38 year old man who had a surgically reconstructed shoulder.

    If he comes back, it will not end well. He'll look OK here and there, but his arm is gone. He gets by entirely on knowledge at this point, and even that wasn't enough to get by the last 2 months.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

        Manning probably should retire. He's just not able to play the game the way he used to be able. It's a shame, and I don't think the Broncos can win a Super Bowl now, so why would he stay?

          The reads and anticipation ain't enough to make up for his arm strength anymore. He has also lost mobility, he can't go to his left and throw back to the right at all at this point.

          The mountain man analogy is quite apt. You had the young buck (Luck) heading up the slope pursuing his quest. And the old trapper, stumbling down the hill, pondering his fate.

          Manning had shoulder reconstruction, too? I thought it was just the neck deal.

            He has regressed. Who knows if that is old age, lack of motivation or herpes. Maybe all three. But he looked and acted like an old man yesterday, it is time. Cycle of life and all that...

              Last quarter of the season, and last night, it sure looks like he needs to hang 'em up.

                  He's sticking around at least one more year. After next season he'll pass Favre for #1 for passing yards and completions. I think he wants those records.

                  I also believe that he's the kind of guy who will announce his retirement a year in advance for the retirement tour and to give Denver a heads up so they can draft his replacement and let him sit for a year learning from Manning.

                    Records are very important to Manning, so I think he sticks around until he has them all as well.

                        ESPN reporting that Manning has been playing with a torn right quadriceps over the last month.

                          Now having same torn/partial/strain argument over this. One doc online said if the quad was torn "completely", he would not be playing.
                          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                            Specifically: Peyton Manning has a torn rectus femoris, which runs down center of thigh. Bruising was so severe it spread to back of his leg

                              If that's true it explains a lot.

                              back to 'the price of tea in China'.

                              Peyton Manning retiring in this off Season?

                              Not on your life !

                              He still has Brett Favre records to pass and Peyton Manning loves his records.
