Manning has reportedly had three that we know about. We, as Redskins fans, have to realize that while Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback since Joe Montana, he's extremely prone to injury. Signing him is a bad idea for any NFL team, not just the Redskins. The risk of signing him outweigh the rewards. Even if Manning plays in 2012, he will not be 100%. He probably won't be close to 100% until 2013.

What does the life span of a doctor have to do with his/her prognosis on a patient? I don't see the correlation.

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.

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

Sorry, but I'm going to take the word of a trained physician over yours. The proof will be in this upcoming season.
