He was fine 2 months ago. I am not sure what happened to this offense but it was likely not just manning. If he retires it’s because he knows he ran out of gas and can’t likely get through a 16 game season plus 3 games to win a championship. If he was injured and didn’t share he will likely know if it’s something he rebounds from will be a problem again. I don’t see him retiring unless one of those is the scenario. He was still one of the best earlier this season. Anxious to see what happens here. The team definitely deflated since November. They were looking great on both sides in the first half and looked like a clear favorite when Seattle and New England were both floundering in October.
He was beat up pretty bad a few games ago. Deep thigh bruise or something. The older you get, the harder it is to get over those things.
