Secondly, it would be medically irresponsible for doctors to come out and say that Peyton Manning's healed neck is in no more danger of a career ending/life changing injury than anybody else on the field if that wasn't the case.

Lastly, Manning hasn't been injury prone. He had neck surgeries to repair those issues, but until then, had never missed a game. I don't call that injury prone.

I do agree that chances are, Manning is probably not going to be 100% this season. But as we have all said and agree, 60% of Peyton Manning is better than most NFL quarterbacks in the league right now. Certainly better than Rex Grossman and John Beck.

The correlation is doctors are not always correct. And lots of them get sued for malpractice everyday. Having surgery must happen at times in life. But surgery slows people down. People need to have adequate time to heal from surgery. This is why Peyton Manning is not 100% and he won't be even by the start of next season. Now that he's had the surgery, he's more prone to having a career ending injury. Sure he can play. Sure he can compete. But what's going to happen when nasty James Harrison collides his helmet to Manning's like some crazy charging rhino? Manning is going to suffer for the hit. And seeing that he's not one hundred percent healthy, he could be paralyzed. And you're correct. Peyton Manning has never been prone to injury. But he is now. 60% of Manning is worse than any quarterback in the NFL. At 60%, he should be holding a clipboard on the sidelines. I'm just happy that he doesn't want to come to Washington. We didn't need him anyway.

If I were a betting man, I would say Miami is where PM will sign up, Has weapons around him. A defense that does not give up. Warm weather. Stays in the AFC. ANd he gets to face Brady twice a year.

Not to mention PM has a summer home in South Florida.

But IF I were to make that bet, Manning would end up signing with a Canadian Football League team. Cuz, thats just my luck when I place any type of wager......

Where did you get your MD degree and what was your specialty in med school?

Wouldn't surprise me if a trade is made on Monday, especially if Manning does make his decision on Monday. If we're able to hold firm and not move our #2 to get RG3 that would be outstanding.

Still hearing that Manning has not ruled the Redskins out, but Dolphins are pretty much in the driver's seat.

Trade?

Whawha?! LOL so we're not serious about signing Peyton after all.

As I've heard no one is coming close to what the Dolphins are reportedly offering.

That's something...but IMO we should be willing to match/beat any offer out there.

Miami must really want Manning. Seeing as though he has a home there, that city may be were he lands.
