he better be back wasted a 9th round pick on this asshole in fantasy last night to use as trade bait he better not pussy out and go on ir
Before any of this news it seemed like one of the AFC "playoff caliber" teams was going to be the odd man out this year (Patriots, Jets, Chargers, Steelers, Ravens, Texans, Colts). Now it almost seems like those teams (minus Indy) are just battling for division titles and higher seeds. Of course it is never quite that simple. KC is a decent "suprise candidate" to steal a spot from one of the others. And there is always the feared "Kerry Collins factor". I think this injury has a pretty serious effect on the level of competition in this conference though.
Frankly, I didn't think that the Colts were making the playoffs even with Manning. Without him, they're fucked. Also, listening to the ESPN hyperbole about Peyton now that he's injured is insane. Ron Jaworski just said in all seriousness that because of Manning's pre-snap reads, the opposing defense is never prepared for any play that the offense runs. Tell that to Tracy Porter. Manning is one of the top 3 QBs in football, sure, but he's a mortal just like the rest of us.
Damn, right after I draft him in the sixth. Am I missing something, is he out for 8-10 weeks or is it the whole season?
No offense, but I am not sure why so many people took that risk drafting him. In an auction league if you could pick him up cheap and stash him on the bench then that I get. But otherwise, he is not worth it.
Actually missed the draft and got him as my #1QB in the 6th round. This before the last operation though.
