Manning at his best was amazing - watching him audible plays at the line was like watching an orchestra conductor. I hope he does retire and go out on top (more or less). It's hard to watch a past-their-prime superstar hang on for too long.
Not sure, exactly, what Elway is doing here. Fox is a good coach. Their D-Coordinator is excellent, and might wind up as a head coach. Strange for a good NFL team to just say "Screw It, we're rebuilding for the next 3 years."
some were saying the Manning thigh injury was worse than reported.
I heard on ESPN that Manning has been playing with a torn quad for the last part of the season. Just walking would be painful. Elway seems to be having a bit of a tantrum.
