Manning won’t share retirement plans on eve of Super Bowl

“Being in basically one offense for 18 years of your life, and then changing it up, that’s not easy”.

Given that Manning is arguably the most cerebral quarterback to ever play the position, his knowledge of the game’s nuances pre-snap will aid him in pulling off the Super Bowl upset of the Panthers.

“He has not said anything to me about it”, Eli Manning said Wednesday to Steve Serby of the New York Post.

Coming off a dominating win over Arizona in the NFC championship game, Carolina enters the February 7 game in Santa Clara, California, as a favorite.

There is no precedent for this Denver Broncos team. “You say he runs with it, and he does if there’s a lot of pressure, he’ll run with it out of the pocket on drop-backs, but he’s [done] more called run plays that he makes yards on. If he was up for another year and his team is able to allow him to do what he needs to do within the scheme to stay healthy, it wouldn’t surprise me at all”. When the best players you could lose are a backup and a special teamer, you’re in good shape.

When the Broncos won the Super Bowl back in 1999, some guy named Gary Kubiak was the offensive coordinator.

NFL Films microphones caught Manning telling New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick after the AFC Championship Game that “this might be my last rodeo”.

Should the Panthers win Super Bowl 50, Rivera would become the fourth person to win as a player and head coach, along with Tom Flores, Mike Ditka and Tony Dungy.

But while Peyton’s legacy is a natural talking point ahead of what is expected to be the final game of his career, Eli said his older brother’s impact on the game has already been made. “It’s going to take us playing the same kind of football, and letting it loose on that Sunday to win”.

“There’s no bragging rights, because we both know that it’s a team effort and about everything going the right way”, Eli said. Victory or not, Peyton Manning’s standing as one of the greatest quarterbacks in history has always been secure.

Manning is also one of the smartest players in the league. “That whole defense played extremely well, but I would have had to try and cut their legs out from those guys early”. Our goal every season is to win the last game, but as I’ve learned, the road to the next one is paved by seasons like this one!
