If there was a Brady-Manning debate thread the table would be tilted in #18's favor. He wants to play on a competitive team and didn't file a lawsuit during the off season. Like others said he isn't in the poor house either.

Do you all believe Peyton will A.) Make it all the way through this new 5 year deal and B.) retire at that point?

I hope he gets one more SB ring.

Big deal looks to be Manning's last - AFC South Blog - ESPN

Notice my comments on the comment thread of the article!:good!:

QB Tyler Bray is drafted in the 2014 NFL Draft and takes over for Peyton in the 2016 football season to carry the Colts-Vols QB tradition into the 2030's!!!

After Peyton retires he takes over for Jim Chaney as OC of Tennessee, then when Dooley retires in 2021 with three national titles Peyton takes over as TN head coach and Derek Dooley becomes Athletic Director. Peyton then coaches the Vols for 15 years winning 10 SEC Titles and 6 National Championships.

GO VOLS!

I am certain he will make it through this deal and then if he feels good and stays healthy maybe sign for another year. I say 6 more years max.

As long as Peyton is taking snaps for this team they will have a chance to win every game and will always be a threat to make the Super Bowl

Though I love the mystique of playing your whole career on one team and being legend there, I wouldn't have minded Manning shopping himself out to the best possible team. The Colts' window of opportunity is closing up, and I don't think it's because Peyton Manning is 35. Sanders is done. The Colts have no running game. Freeney, Clark, Wayne, Mathis, Brackett, and Saturday are all well into their 30s and that's old if you aren't a QB.

Nonsense. They're better than the Pats and they'll still be winning AFC titles when Peyton is 40 years old.

All those guys are still producing at a very high level. The Colts are right there as one of the favorites to win the AFC and should be in that conversation for the next few years.

I don't know if it's class as much as intelligence. He knows that without a good supporting cast, it won't matter how good he is. Dude just wants to win and he knows this is the best way to help the Colts do that. Great move on his part nonetheless.

I agree with this, although I'm hoping we are both wrong.
