Thread: Bill Belichick and Ted Thompson had the balls to do it.

hasn't he been in a boot? Is knight suggesting that the 'boot' is purely for show and that he doesn't have a foot injury? Seriously?

Meanwhile, when a HoF QB an 8-2 team gets hurt after midseason, "it'll heal EVENTUALLY, but no telling when" is far from a satisfying answer. In Mannings place, I'd have gone to see the specialist even if 100% sure this was my last season; if he IS sure of that, does anyone really think he wants that Chiefs disaster to be the last game of his career?

Didn't he see the specialist to find out if he needed surgery or not?

Thought I read that.

Correct.

Bledsoe could still play when he got benched.

The fact that the Pats would trade him to their division rival suggests that he really couldn't. He was always very one dimensional.

The simple fact is teams have had to make tough decisions. This is perhaps one of those situations.

Yes, it is dependent on how Oz looks going forward. How the offense looks going forward with Oz under center.

If (real big if) the offense that Kubiak wants to run looks more efficient with Oz, then he (the organization ) will need to make a tough decision. Throw the Montana and Young situation in there too.

It was a joke.

Bledsoe could never play.

Yeah, I figured. Of course the Pats fans (at least many of them) thought he was still great and they did think it was not the right thing when Belichick chose to stick with Brady. Same with many in the media that included veterans.

Except for everyone at the game tonight. Stop trying to stir up shit troll.

No, that's what idiots and conspiracy theorists were saying.

You were wrong, in fact there was a lot of really dumb things said in the last week by people of your ilk. All of which have been proven demonstrably false.

Don't worry. I know you don't know what demonstrably means. Use Google.

The best part about this is you're STILL talking about Manning. And no one forced you to respond.

You a liar, bro.

If he doesn't think it now why would he this coming off season?

If the Broncos didn't want Peyton to play at all, they would have put him on IR. If Peyton didn't want to play this season, he wouldn't have needed a 2nd opinion.

But, the team is not required to start him. They could take the following positions:

1. If Peyton becomes completely healthy at some point in the next 5 weeks, they start him without regard to how Brock plays. Unlikely.

2. If Brock is injured and can't play, Peyton automatically comes in.

3. If Brock struggles and the team loses, and Peyton is completely healthy, he plays.

4. If Brock plays well, but the team loses, Peyton MIGHT still come back and start - if they think the team needs a spark. Unlikely.

5. Brock continues to play well and the team continues to win. Unlikely that they bring Peyton back in, but this is a hard choice for them. They might just say to him that they don't want to rock the boat so long as Brock is playing well and the team is winning. They might decide that Peyton gives them the best chance to win this season if he's completely healthy and the team is running the ball better.

That might not make a lot of fans happy, but they could decide this regardless of what fans might want.

Of course they are going to keep their options open. For more reasons than one, they will see how it plays out. If Oz all of a sudden gets so scouted and he shits the bed, then Manning may very well be the best choice. It is only prudent to keep options open.

Give me your thoughts and please elaborate on what you think "completely healthy" means to you. He will be able to run bootlegs and keepers? He will have the same legs that he had in 2006? What if he did have the legs he had in 2006? Will he then be able to run the offense that the OL is built for and RBs are built for?

Please, what are you expecting or thinking fully healthy means?
