I agree - QB coach would be great for the team and allow him to continue to do what he loves at some level. Too much of a risk to play and I just cannot see him in any other uni.
I think you are writing him off too early. We should know by next month what his odds are for playing in 2012.

All depending on the money, right? The guy still isn't sure his nerves are regenerating. Money won't change that...

Maybe. But this isnt a knee or even a shoulder injury. Its a neck that has been operated on 3 times in a very short time span. Even if he does start to feel better, the last thing I want to see is Peyton as a quadriplegic with one big hit. This way he can build onto his legecy as not only one of the greatests QBs of all time but end up as one of the greatests coaches as well. Just imagine if he could command the entire team instead of just one side of the ball. With a few years being QB coach/OC, and getting experience, I believe he could do it.

Playing and coaching are two different things. Great players don't always make great coaches.

VERY TRUE! But he has been practically coaching that offense for many years, and I must say doing a dayum good job of it.

Peyton has been calling his own plays for years. I think it would be an easy transition.

I could see him being the offensive coordinator.

I think it would be pretty neat. To see a player stay with his team in this age of free agency... it would add to the classiness that Manning seems to have.
And I think there's no doubt in the world that he would help Luck immensely.

Exactly! And like I said, that is Peyton's house. I think he wants to keep it that way. Even if he never makes head coach. I think he could be equivalent of a Dick Lebeau but on the offensive side of the ball.

I believe he will retire, it makes the most sense...
He will get the balance of his contract threw insurance, and he leaves his legacy intact.
I think Manning will retire on his own terms. All this talk about him not being able to play next season is premature.

Let's bring in Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard for a consult.
i think another team would take a chance on him.... don't know if he will risk futher injury to his neck. as for opening the wallet to peyton to be a OC or QB coach, there are limits to what this type of coach makes. think the hightest paid coach in the NFL is pulling $7 million/yr. that's a big pay cut and he'd likely get more playing. but, you can't pay peyton more than the HC either. will be interesting to see how this plays out...

Luck may be an above average QB in his own right, even if Indy takes Luck, no amount of coaching will get him to run that offense the way Peyton did. Peyton is very unique...the combination of heart, desire, repetition, study habits, work ethic, overall understanding of the game...everybody's positions offensive and defensive, arm strength, ball placement, etc, etc.
Once in a lifetime QB.
Best of luck Mr. Manning.

The organization says that this decision will be between Irsay & Manning...
Manning has developed a lot of ties to the Indy community, and I can not see him playing for someone else...I also can't see Irsay handing him 28 Million Dollars...maybe that is why he cleaned house...

Makes no sense to clean house and keep Peyton, none what-so-ever.
Why would Peyton want to start over on a re-building team at his age? (assuming his nerves regenerate and he can actually play again).

Manning is the face of that franchise.
