Kubiak: Manning is Starter if Healthy

[UnderArmour]

Kubiak took blame. Said when Manning had rib issue Saturday should have sat him. "I think I made a bad decision" Manning starter if healthy
https://twitter.com/TroyRenck/status/666061227710279684

So Manning is still #1 on depth chart. Unless Kubiak shelves Manning for injury reasons, Manning will play next week.

[Ravage!!!]

Yes... I think we all knew t his.

[tripp]

The right approach IMO.

[Northman]

Grow some balls Gary, if your QB cant go bench is ass. That is what other teams do when their starters are not good enough to go.

[Krugan]

So with the question of health, you have to sit him this week.

The bigger game is NE, get him healthy as possible for the bigger game. Not that we are in a position to take a #1 seed, but its conference game, you gotta have all ready for that one.

[Northman]

I would sit Manning as long as it takes. If its about health he needs to be 100% before he comes back.

[Ravage!!!]

sounds soooo easy and 'simple' when sitting on your couch, at home, when nothing you say or want has any reprecussions. We call can sound like "heartless business men where ONLY the bottom line matters!!!!!"

If he keeps Manning in and he keeps costing the team you can bet your ass that Kubes ass is still on the line with repercussions. No matter what Kubes decides it will decide his ultimate fate.

Also a very good point: I'd rather have a 100% Oz @Chicago and 100% Manning vs. NE* than a 60-80% Manning vs. NE*. And not just because it looks like we (or possibly Cincy in the playoffs) are the only thing standing between them and the NFLs first perfect 19-0 season EVER.

Edelman being injured might hinder the Patriots chances just a little bit. I get that feeling anyone on the Patriots receiving core is replaceable so long as you have Brady.

Oh sorry, thought you were saying if Kubes handles Manning badly he'll get fired, which I don't think will ever happen.

No. Rav was saying it would be a mistake for Kubes to bench Manning and there would be repercussions. I was merely pointing out the repercussions would not be anymore different by leaving Manning in with him playing the way he is.

[Yashahla17]

Damn i thought gary was growing a pair. Kubiak reputation is on the line though. You start the year 7-0 and then go 7-9 holding on to manning and you lose all credibility in the locker room and league.

Coaches won't bench Manning without the locker room's blessing. They'll rise or fall with Manning, unless an injury prohibits Manning's ability.

[I Eat Staples]

If we're letting players make the decisions why even have coaches? Players are allowed to be passionate and emotional, coaches need to make the objective, correct decisions.

[elsid13]

I think they will sit Manning this week and claim it the injury and they want him to heal. He will be back for NE game.

[Slick]

I think you're giving way too much credit to what is being said to the media by the players in the locker room, Nomad. They're just being PC. If Coach Dungy can say on national TV that Peyton shouldn't be playing you better believe there are players on the Broncos who feel the same way. They just won't say it in public.

[Slick]

If he's got a bad ankle plus the ribs plus the plantar facietus(sp) it's going to take him a while to be 100% if he even can be this season. He'll still play but he won't be 100% healthy this year.

We'll see. If Peyton keeps on being the starter, then obviously there's more than players being PC. I'm not naive enough to think a teammate is going to put out controversy to the media.

Coach Kubes has stated that he should not have played Peyton today. I think what the players are stating is that Peyton still should be the starting QB. Of course, they are all smart enough to mean if he is healthy.

Their schedule's so ridiculously soft (especially for a defending "champion") I doubt it matters. Luck of the draw has them facing the worst AFC AND arguably worst NFC division, owning their also-ran division "rivals" as always, plus Pitt (whom they already beat) and us. Division games are always tighter, but they've already played @NY and are untouchable at their own rigged table, so unless the Jets get lucky at home or Miami really pulls itself together before hosting them, who can stop them?

Hopefully Cincy in the playoffs or Arizona or Carolina in the SB, but if we can't ruin 16-0 at home, I doubt anyone else can. Maybe Cincy can get homefield on SoV or SoS if THEY finish 16-0 (which would mean also beating us; yea :() but if they're on the road... winning a Foxboro playoff game usually requires being named "Brady."

COme on, Staples.. this is making a pretty big jump. H ow many times have we heard coaches talk about "losing the locker room." They will talk about it all the time. A coach of MEN (not boys) knows that they don't simply 'follow' because you point the way. THey have to BELIEVE in you and what you are doing. The players have a TREMENDOUS repect for Manning and everything he is to that team. Sure they are going to back Manning, so the coaches ABSOLUTELY have to be SURE as to when the right time is to replace him so that they know they don't lose the locker room. That's just being real.

Yeah their schedule is incredibly soft. But it's about time someone goes into Foxborough and beats them around. Baltimore did it the year they won the SB.

What bothers me is that as coaches, they should know inside and out if he was able to go and make whatever decision gives us the best chance to win a game...especially behind this bullshit offensive line. Who, by the way, has no ******* business being in the NFL...******* terrible. Schofield is who we thought he was....downright embarrassing offensive line.

[Foochacho]

Sucks that Manning still thinks he's good to go. He will practice all week and take reps from Brock. Brock should get a week of reps and the start. If Manning is healthy after a week off he can get the start for New England. If he looks like shit we can pull him and let Brock take over. At least we then get a real look at Brock and the offense we can run with a week of prep.

Not just Manning wanted it. EVERYONE wanted it. I mean, the NFL scheduled (purposely) for Manning to be playing GB and Indy in the two weeks that we did, because goign by averages, THAT would be when Manning breaks the record. Either against GB, Favre's old team...or against Indy, Manning's old team. That wasn't an accident. The NFL had the HoF guys there waiting for the NUMBERED balls, and had it planned out to stop the game. This wasn't just something "Manning" wanted, but everyone involved wanted.

[GEM]

I dont give 2 shits about his passing record...I'm a damn BRONCOSfan, not a Manning fan. What is best for this football team?? Not what is best for 1vplayer out of 53 players on this TEAM. There are 7 more games he could have gotten it that wouldnt have cost us a game because he's too injured to play.

I understand what you're saying. I also understand what you've been saying about how players do matter as people and aren't just numbers. I completely agree with you there, and for what it's worth, as a fan I actually enjoy records and always want my players to go for them. I just don't think benching a player who is playing really, really badly this season is disrespectful to him OR to the locker room.

If we were a bad team and were out of contention, and the choice was to bench Manning to prepare for the future or let him keep playing for his personal achievements, I can see how benching him would be disrespectful and piss people off. But we're 7-2 and in the playoff race; the players have to understand the coaches' obligation to put the best players on the field in that situation. The dude has 17 interceptions in 9 games...even Manning's biggest supporters in the locker room know that's not good enough. Manning himself knows it.

[Joel]

Yeah their schedule is incredibly soft. But it's about time someone goes into Foxborough and beats them around. Baltimore did it the year they won the SB.
Baltimore's the ONLY visiting team I know of that's won a playoff game there since Belicheat arrived. And even the Ravens are only .500, IIRC.

[Yashahla17]

Best thing to do is remember manning injured his ribs throwing in light duty.... Not during a game. The dudes going to need at least 2 games off. When he had two weeks off coming off the bye week he played (decent). If i were the coach i would rest him the next 3 games. Allow him to come back and have a shot at his win record since thats all he's playing for,at this point

[Simple Jaded]

So, either Osweiler starts and Cugel goes nuclear. . .or, Manning starts and Yashasalers butt hurt continues to spread to his brain?

Win/Win.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Manning should play if he's healthy, but only 100% healthy.

[D1g1tal j1m]

At this stage of his career, I don't think Manning will ever be 100% healthy. He can't practice a full week without getting some rest due to the mileage on his body, but unfortunately Manning has always needed a full week of practice to keep his timing (reps have always been paramount for Manning). Now that he can't go a full week of practice, his timing is out of whack and now the mileage and age factor are producing this horrible year.

If he starts next week and throws out another turkey of a performance, then let Oz play the rest of the season. I don't have any hope of Manning reclaiming his timing within this offense and his physical deterioration is not going to get better, especially as the winter months are coming into play.

Manning had a great 3 year run of dominance for the Broncos, but it appears to have run it's course and the retooling of this team should begin soon with Oz.

I strongly doubt that even if Manning leads us to a Super Bowl victory, he'll be back next year. There are just too many guys to re-sign to keep this defense together, re-sign Brock, and fix the Oline. Manning will never truly be Manning again. Even John knows this.

[7DnBrnc53]

Baltimore's the ONLY visiting team I know of that's won a playoff game there since Belicheat arrived. And even the Ravens are only .500, IIRC.

The Jets beat them in the playoffs at Cheatsborough five years ago. And, the 01 Raiders (Fluke Rule), 03 Titans (Drew Bennett), 11 Ravens (Lee Evans had a TD if the NFL had reasonable rules), and 14 Ravens (run the ball there, idiots!) should have won there in postseason, too.

[DenBronx]

From a fan perspective, we shouldn't start Manning next week. Not saying "he should lose his job." But I do think he needs to be 100%. We have Barret as a capable backup for Ware. Why can't Brock be that capable backup at QB for an injured old man Manning? Let the dude rest...it definitely has hurt the team the past 2 weeks.

Worst case scenario we lose again but we at least evaluate Brock and see what he brings to the table while Manning heals up.

Brock looked pretty good. Way better imo but I know that's not a fair comparison if Manning is injured.

[Yashahla17]

The big soap opera is how wil this be handled after the season? Is Manning going to take time off only to want to come back again? Is ELway going to step in and insist he wants Manning back?

There is zero percent chance manning comes back. Soon as he gets this last win for his record he's finished and will finally bow out.

I think part of the problem is Manning told the docs he was ok and he looked fine in warmups so Kubes didnt think twice about it. Then add in the 3 yds from one record with a possibility of winning the game at home for another and i think we have the answer as to why he played. But, knowing that Manning had bad ribs i still would of sat him. Yesterday reminded me a lot of what happened late last season when we kept Manning in there when he should of sat so that he could be healthy going into the playoffs. Most logical and smart coaching staffs do not waste time resting their starters if they are banged up with injuries and are not 100%. Hopefully they allow Brock to play next week (win or lose) and allow Manning to get healed so that he can be ready for the long run. My only problem is he hasnt looked good for most of the year so im not even sure the injuries are really the excuse here.

[Northman]

If this is true, which it probably is, then Manning's career is all but over.

A 40 year old QB with a bum foot who relies on his legs to throw accurate balls is done for. So sad to see him go out like this, but this was the worst case scenario that everyone knew could happen this year. Father time remains undefeated.

[CrazyHorse]

I'm convinced he hasn't been completely healthy since the midpoint last season. Torn quad, bruised ribs, now a partially torn plantar fascia. I attribute his poor play partially to the new scheme and to chronic nagging injuries.
