Looks Like Peyton Is Throwing The Ball Around

Not sure why he has to wear the number but looks like he's working on that arm.

Now if only the people using the phone would have turned the thing horizontally it would be a decent video.

But, but, but he's done I know because I heard it right here on CZ.

What has that have to do with anything? So what he can still throw the football? Do you understand when folks say he's done that they aren't really saying he's done nor that he will never throw a football again?

I think the meaning gets lost in your odd translation of it.

Exactly, who cares whether he can throw. The key is can he move around, can he take the hits and punishment throughout an entire season.

I have read reports for weeks saying that he was throwing . The same reports said that he had lost some zip and it wasn't the same Manning .

I would imagine so. He hasn't thrown a ball in how long?

Throw in the nerve issue.

I don't think there's any doubt it will take him some time to get it all back. When is the issue.

I would guess that medical clearance says he can take the punishment. At least to the extent that he was able to take it before the injury.

That medical clearance is some bs to me. Peyton wants to play desperately so going by that isn't going to fool many people. I know the Colts aren't fooled.

Manning was medically cleared by the doctors and he's throwing again. Considering those two facts it's ridiculous to assume he's done.

The Patriots must of sent this guy to film him

considering what he is going through its even dumber to say he is not done

I heard this morning that the Saints have already taken a hit-contract out on him.

 

[sago1]

Back in late 90s Moose reinjuried his neck during Cowboys OT win (long TD pass from Aikman to new speedy WR we had just signed--can't recall his name). Moose had already had several neck ops. Anyway, Moose was put on IR but still wanted play again after end of season. Aikman and others eventually talked him out of it because there stong possibility another neck injury could make it impossible for him to even turn his neck, etc.

Now Moose's neck injury could differ from Peyton's but who knows how a hard hit to his back/neck would effect him next time. Love Peyton but no way do I want Cowboys to sign him. He wouldn't last more then 1 game behind our current OL & out defense would force him to put up at least 32 points every game.

He's already had at least 2 (that we know of) surgeries on his neck. Understand it's tough for him to stop playing a game he obviously loves but at least we can presume he's got enough money to support himself & his family. His priorities should now be more about his family vs his career.

Peyton Manning must have paid this guy to leak it

My 55 year old father can still throw a football. Being able to throw a football and being able to throw one with the proper zip, having great arm strength, being able to move his head around to see the whole field like he used to, and take the hits and beating he'll have to take are completely different things.


YAY!!!! He can throw the ball around in a T-Shirt and shorts!!! WOOOO!!! His neck has no more issues and will never have issues again because of this!!!! YAY!!!!

taken from a health board, not sure the credibility of poster, maybe one of our resident doctors can weigh in.

"Just saw an interview with Dr. Sanjay Gupta of CNN and he was talking about the problems with Peyton Manning's neck(Gupta is a neurosurgeon). For those who don't know who Peyton Manning is, he's the quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts...Super Bowl winning Peyton Manning.

Turns out he had a couple of forminotomies and now, he's just had an ACDF on C6-7(I think). They said it was his tricep muscle that was not working well and losing strength. That could mean C6-7 or C7-T1....Gupta was unable to say which level but it was one of the 2.

So here is my question for anyone who has had an ACDF involving C6-7......would you go play pro football after your surgery? Seems no one can answer if he'll ever return. " - JennyBYC



"""would you go play pro football after your surgery?""

Why not? The vertebrae will grow through the allograft (donor bone) and, together with the titanium clamp, probably be stronger than before the operation." - Webdozer

Maybe he'll be ok. I'm no doctor and I'm certainly not saying there is zero shot that he can or will play.

I'm saying I won't be surprised and I dont' understand taking the risk. He's got his ring, money, the stats, he's a sure fire Hall of Famer. I see absolutely no reason to risk it at this point.

If a doctor is telling him that he is at no more substantial risk than he was before, then I see no reason why he wouldn't. Plus collecting 15-30 million more before retirement wouldnt be bad either.

I don't know why people refer to a cervical spine injury as a neck injury.

Anyway, taking hits is not really an issue; he herniated a disk, causing pressure on the cord, causing nerve injury. By performing an acdf (removing the back of the vertebra and putting in titanium for support), you completely remove any pressure on the cord, so the risk of nerve injury actually goes way down.

As you can see, there's never been a re-injury, and the probability of returning is very high.

The thing that you have to remember , is that Manning has had four surgeries . Anytime that titanium is inserted , it puts pressure on the levels above and below the surgery site . This creates a great risk for reinjury in a very short time . With the added pressure , one wrong move and he blows a disk .
