Report: Peyton Manning needs a 2nd surgery, out indefinitely

An Indianapolis radio host, John Michael Vincent, on ESPN 1070 in Indianapolis that goes by his initials, JMV, is reporting on his Twitter that the Colts issues at quarterback could be worse than they've been letting on.
Been told by multi sources that QB P Manning needs a 2nd neck procedure. Will remain out indefinitely.Called #colts and waiting on response.
If the report is true, the news is obviously devastating to the Colts as Peyton Manning is perhaps the most valuable single player to any team in the NFL. The Colts without Manning are, frankly, not that scary of a team and nowhere near the team that has had a strangehold over the AFC South in the last decade.
Couple this report with some interesting tweets from Colts owner, Jim Irsay, and the possibility of Manning missing time seems very legitimate. Among the tweets that caught the eye of Colts blogger Nate Dunlevy was one that talked about the first Super Bowl seasons of the Rams with Kurt Warner and the Patriots with Tom Brady. Both were the consequence of the incumbent, starting quarterbacks having to be replaced due to injury.
The news, if true, makes an obvious impact on the AFC South and leaves the door open for the Titans, Texans or Jaguars to take advantage.
Update: Adam Schefter of ESPN writes on Twitter that Chris Mortenson reports "Peyton Manning is being revaluated by several doctors because of slow progress. No other procedure planned now."

If this is true the Jags need to take this opportunity and strangle it by the throat. The Jags have a perfect opportunity to finally get a hold of this division (once again) and really need to seize this opportunity. It is bitter sweet if this is how the Jags finally win the division by Manning missing a significant amount of time, but a division title and a trip to the playoffs is exactly that!

Ouch.
That’s a hell of a thing to be hoping.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Just because he rips us a new one...
doesn’t mean I want one of the GOAT QBs to stop putting on a show.

Colts should be fine, though...
because Painter has sat and learned on the sidelines…right?

I have as much faith in Painter as I do Jarmacus Russell. The Colts will still be competitive but wont be the same without Manning, its not the same situation as when Tom Brady went down for the whole season and the patriots still went 11-5
by Jags85 on Sep 4, 2011 8:44 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Lol I agree with that statement
But even with some of the offensive weapons and a few on defense I dont think they are as good as that Patriots team that went 11-5 without Brady

I really wonder how effective Kerry Collins is going to be though. Hes learning a different system, still not in football shape or has a rhythm or chemistry with his receivers so I’m curious as to see how he does.
by Jags85 on Sep 4, 2011 9:08 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
effective is just one issue; what about durability?
I just don’t think he’s going to handle enough games, they need another option. I’m amazed they let it get to this point.
take your pick

BTW I still hope he gets healthy to the point he could live a normal life. I just do hope he never plays another snap for the colts

Another bitchass comment.
Hey I dont like the Colts as much as anybody but I would love for the Jags to finally figure out how to beat the Colts without a long field goal.
Please Jags please...
…play at least a little bit of defense this season. I think the division is up for grabs if this is true! But do the Texans become the front runners?
I think most would agree
that its going to take more than a Last second Hail Mary to beat the Texas this year
by Jags85 on Sep 4, 2011 8:53 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I don't think the D is going to be the problem
It will be good enough. The offense has got to be more effective in the passing game to keep opposing defenses from completely loading the box to stop the run.

It elicits more than a laugh. I think the only two that would even consider giving up a “high” draft pick for Garrard would be Oakland and Washington. I’m not a Garrard basher, I actually do like him, but we also do know what we have in Garrard. Far too inconsistent for this team
by Jags85 on Sep 4, 2011 9:21 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
This is good,
but it might not be that bad for the Colts, Collins is a solid QB, and he has Wayne, Clark, Collie, etc. to throw to, and the line’s pass bllocking isnt that bad.
"thanks for hating"
It’s horrible for the Colts if Manning is out for an extended period of time.
Absolutely horrible.

whatever you think...
…without Manning that team will fall apart, the line sucks in both departments of blocking, but a little better at pass-blocking, they have the receivers, but Kerry Collins will barely be able to get them the ball. And they have no running-game to fall back on. If Garrard goes down, with our bad blocking, atleast we can fall back on Maurice which we already rely too much on.

Their line is about the same as ours circa 2009
Manning hides a HELL of a lot of deficiencies in the Colts. You wonder why they always seem to get exposed come playoff time?
Are you insinuating Collins or Painter can't get rid of the ball as quickly
as Manning?

3 neck surgeries..that’s some serious stuff
He’s won a Superbowl, multiple MVP’s, and he has enough cash. There’s nothing for him to prove.
Hang it up join the cast of SNL full time and NBC’s NFL broadcasts
I'd rather
see him on the Stage of SNL bc hes actually relatively funny…anddd he also happens to be one of The Jags biggest enemies

1st Pick
Manning will miss the entire year and they will get the first pick in next years draft and grab Andrew Luck!
I think they are still a 6, maybe..maybe 7 win
by Jags85 on Sep 4, 2011 9:36 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
and the bengals this year are like 2 win team
it would be very hard IMO for the COlts to suck that bad
I dunno man
They looked like utter garbage whenever they threw Painter out there. Not sure Collins can keep this team competitive. If we get to go from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck…that just sucks!
without Manning all year...
they would have to be one of the favorites for the #1 pick. The only downside to Manning being hurt…

That seems a bit extreme.
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.

By far my favorite response on Stampede Blue:
“Ummmm
I don’t wanna sound like a fairweather fan but Manning is pretty much the only reason to watch the team. W/o him the team’s whole philosophy doesn’t work.”
I mean, I always suspected this was the case with the majority of Colts fans, but I just never thought any of them would come out and say it.
Can't wait until Peyton retires
And the Colts become irrelevant and Indy has blackouts. F Indy!!!

Texan defense will still manage to give up 40 points to the COlts. JK
should be a much improved unit.However, I will admit with Arian FOster likely out, not so sure this will be as easy a win as you think
Poor COLTS.
U know the last thing they wanna do is put Peyton on the IR list……..they would rather play the whole season out with him on their ACTIVE ROSTER.
If confirmed...,bye bye Colts for this season.

Poor COLTS.
No OTAs, No preaseason, No practice….No go for Week 1…..im just waitin on da Colts to make some kind of announcement…Personally I think Peyton is one of the smartest QBs of all times! BUT…………….at da same time he needs a rest.
Oh snap...the Jags like I said before
has a legit chance of winning the division…Go Jags!!!!!!
One life to live, live it to the fullest...
Reading Irsay tweets now..
Probably this is not true after all.

The only thing between us and the division (and the playoffs!)
is a team where this isn’t even their worst example of beating themselves. I like our chances.

During the Colts first game......
“OK, Jim Tressel, your our gameday consultant, what advice do you have?”
“UMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?”
“I didn’t sign up for this!”
New word says he's gonna be out 4-5 games
maybe more..
This would mean the fate of Colt’s season lies in the hands of…
DUN DUN DUNNN
Kerry Lollins!
Peyton has already missed offseason training. If he misses 4-5 weeks, not only will the Colts have a hard time winning with Lollins under center, but Peyton will be prettty rusty for another 3-4 games at least.
Sadly for us, we don’t even play the Colts until Week 10. Peyton will most likely be back to full strength by then. But hopefully they would’ve accrued a good amount of losses.
Looks like a 7-9 or 8-8 record might be taking the AFC South this season. LETS GO JAGS!!

"OK, Jim Tressel, your our gameday consultant, what advice do you have?"
Apparently the Colts have given Tressel a 6 game ’suspension wont start till the 6th game.
I actually wish Tressel was the gameday consultant, THAT would have been more punishment.
What gameday advice could he give other than “we need big forehead back!”
This would be great for this year...
It would force them to set up a running game, fix their offensive line, and fortify their defense.
It could have some negative long-term implications. I’d hate to be going against a colts team where Manning wasn’t their only big weapon…
