Peyton Manning. Will he be as good as he was in the upcoming season?

Do you think Manning will reach the same heights this next season as he had done in previous years.

I say no, they have done 4 neck surgeries for a reason. And I can see him getting hurt, and I really don't want that to happen as it will effect his life after NFL.

I think he'll be just as good as he ever was... until he takes his first big sack. That's the great unknowable - the teams that chased after him saw him working out and clearly had no doubts over what he can do as if this moment in time, so I think he's back to full strength right now, but no-one will know how much of an effect the first hit he takes will have until after it's happened, so all bets are off the table. He could stand straight back up, shake it off, and be absolutely fine - or it could end his career. We simply have no way of knowing.

I think GurTPL has it right. Peyton has the advantage he's reasonably well liked and respected amongst the league so nobody is likely to deliberately target the neck, but even so he is going to get sacked.

I can't think of anything worse for him, the team or the fans, as the sight of him going off on a stretcher after the first scrimmage of the Bears game.

No I don't think he will be as goof... he wont be bad by any stretch, but age is also starting to catch up with him and I don't reckon we will see another "mega" season out of him

There should be a "I Flip hope so" option...

I voted yes. If Tebow got them to the playoffs with those receivers and being given chances by the Broncos D and Matt Prater kicking miracles then Peyton must be able to do better than Tim.

I've gone no.

I still think he's a huge upgrade on Tebow, but he's a 36/37yr old QB coming off 4 neck surgeries, playing in a new system, behind a new line. There's bound to be a drop off in his production at some point, and i can see it happening this year.

He'll still be good, just not as good as the Peyton of old.

+1 Agree with everything Dancingweeman put
Just hope he does not get hurt
