As he enters his 13th season, it looks like Peyton Manning's streak of 227 starts will come to an end with the season opener. He has not practiced in training camp after neck surgery on May 23. This was his second operation. There is talk that he might need another surgery which will end his season.
The Colts have reacted by signing retired QB Kerry Collins a few weeks ago. This looks like the perfect opportunity for the 38 year old Collins who recently walked away form the game after 17 seasons.
Where does this leave Manning if he misses the season? After three neck surgeries, I would assume that most doctors would advise against playing football. Manning recently signed a massive contract that will pay him all sorts of guaranteed money. I assume the Colts have some type of insurance on it.
I think we are seeing the end of Manning. This injury might be too tough to come back from. If he plays again, it will be the first step into doing long term damage to himself. He needs to walk away from the game.
