Very good article. One thing that the article doesn't take into account is Manning's lower body injuries in late 2014 and 2015.

For a body thrower, that basically kills all velocity, especially in Manning's case, after the neck surgery.

Johnny U basically said the same thing toward the end of his career. His arm was fine, but the legs were shot.

I get what the article is saying.......but, fuck tom brady.

I hope the optimism is warranted, but unless they fix the O-line he's got about six games before he is on permanent disability

The history of rebuilt QBs halfway or more through their career isn't promising

Halfway or more? Six isn't half of 20...

Glad Chud is gone

In an interview, Peyton discussed a conversation he had with John Madden. Madden advised him early in his career to keep building strength in his legs because that would help him perform and prolong his career.

I think that was Parcells, not Madden. "Legs legs legs. Do your squats."

Hmm, might have been.

Six is 2/3 of 9, a more realistic number given the beatings and injuries so far

Now you're just being a troll.
