The Big Rumor: If The Colts Take Luck, Then Manning Could Be...

Irsay fires back at Manning, calls Peyton a ‘politician’ | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/irsay-fires-back-manning-calls-peyton-politician-005156830.html)

To me it sounds like Irsay is gonna try and talk Peyton in to retirement.

Unless Irsay is willing to bite the bullet and pay up 28 mil, I can't see him being able to dictate anything.

It sucks but it really could be the best thing. Imagine how horrible we would feel if something happened to peyton on the field and he was carted off, maybe to never walk again....

The reality is that he will be very fragile if he steps back on that field, Peyton has been through hell the last year with all the surgeries and the pain and all the injections and all that. I can't beleive he would try to come back knowing everything that is at risk.

He has a life there in Indy. I guarantee you if he told Isray that he wanted to stick around as a coach or a coordinator, he would have a job there for the rest of his life.

It might be the best for his health....

I wouldn't either, but I would do it for a QB in a NY second.

Depends on who the QB is.

I don't take away the feeling of Irsay trying to get Peyton to retire. Unlike this current topic on this thread, it seems to me that the writing is on the wall in Indy and Peyton is no longer in the Colt's plan.

He hired a defensive minded coach (who btw would probably would have loved to work with PM), fired the trainer he was working with, fired the GM who built the team, fired the head coach who was one of the last parts of the Dungy guard, and signed him to a deal a year ago that looked huge at the time but could be torn up after a year with out any repercussions. Seems to me the writing is on the wall that he is set to be released.

It also seems to me that the Colts had a good idea that PM was injured worse then they let on to the media and that they don't see him being able to return to the football field.
