When a key player gets hurt, it can have a huge impact on the team in some cases. When Tom Brady got knocked out of the first game of the 2008 season, backup QB Matt Cassell was able to lead the team to a record of 11-5. Coach Belichick always believes that the next player must step up if someone goes down.
This does not appear to be the case with the Indianapolis Colts now sporting a record of 0-7. QB Brew Brees threw 5 TD passes and for 325 yards in leading the New Orleans Saints to their victory last night over the Colts.
With a record of 0-7, the Colts season is just about finished in terms of making the playoffs. It would be foolish for Peyton Manning to try and return from his neck surgery. If he has any hope of playing again, he should look to next year. It's not worth it for him at this point.
