He could play another year but not at the level we, or far more important, he, expects. He could probably lead the Broncos to the playoffs again. But his days of dominating are over - unless there's an injury he's been dealing with.
2005 Favre had 6.4 YPA a big drop from his previous years. 29 INTs to only 20 INTs and led his team to 4 wins. Rodgers was there and retirement talk was in full swing. He played 5 more years with some good teams.
People aren't looking at his stats when judging him in the postseason, fyi
#2 seed, played the second half of the season clearly struggling. Still very impressive imo.
Oh right, I forgot, W/L are all that matters.
I get annoyed by the W/L is all that matters in the playoffs for qbs but you must admit that Peyton hasn't been the same qb in the playoffs that he was during the regular season. He's not the only one but they really should have won another ring or 2 in Indy.
I think as a QB PPG is a pretty important stat. And a lot of Peyton's teams didn't score much in the playoffs.
2005 of Favre looked nothing like Manning down the stretch.
A lot of my thought is because I think the thigh injury is affecting his throws. I could be wrong though.
If Manning and Brady have similar stats, yet Brady has 9 Afc championship games and Peyton has 9 one and dones, it's hard for that not to tell the story. We both know how important the qb position is in the NFL.
I think you're off on this assessment. Faust does great work in many threads posting articles on many players. Lots of Faust fans here.
He started off the season great, not far off of last year's pace, and at one point had 36 TDs, 9 INTs, but after that he closed out the year with 3 TDs and 6 INTs. Although older players do lose skill, it's hard to believe that would account for such an abrupt and significant change in level of play. He obviously suffered a physical ailment, whether it was injury, arm issues resurfacing, or whatever - but the problem for him is that at his age, with time, such issues just become more and more likely to occur.
Wouldn't surprise me. I saw far too much arc on some of those passes. Tons of running down the stretch too... But I do think its time to hang em up.
yeah, they hate rotoworld but love when he reposts it over here so they don't have to click a bookmark
The Shark Pool (NFL Talk) - the whole purpose for this forum is to discuss NFL related topics (the majority with a fantasy football slant, of course). I am well known for aggregating information from a diverse range of sources (not just rotoworld) - which helps to keep others here informed and it also helps to spur the debate and discussion on these topics.
If Manning goes the Broncos will have the money to retain both Thomases and maybe pick up an impact F.A. If he stays they will be lucky to retain one of them. Tough call on which would be a better team short term.
They could structure both so they could afford them and Peyton for one more year.
it seems like teams tend to fall apart after meeting new england --- look at cincy
I have a feeling the Colts will show up and play well next week. They may not win, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a close game.
