You do realize Manning missed the entire pre-Season in 2008 and most of training camp due to knee surgery?

The Colts started off slow, and almost went 1-3. They still had a 12-4 season. You can complain about my focus on numbers, but they’re backed up by seven consecutive 12+ win seasons.

“This is a meaningless assertion. It’s like saying that the Falcons’ 2008 11-5 record isn’t impressive because Mike Smith wasn’t there in 2007. It’s pointless.”

On the contrary, your assertion is like giving credit solely to Matt Ryan for the Falcon’s 2008 11-5 record, and ignoring the new coaching staff completely, or the addition of Michael Turner.

It’s funny. For years Manning has had to prove his worthiness on the field to his critics; now he has to prove it off the field. Hilarious.

Yes. So what? He's been on the team for a decade. What offensive schematic adjustments did he miss? What new personnel did he have to get used to? How were things different for him in 2008 as compared to 2007? Again, a silly comment from you.

The only criticism of Manning is occurring in your mind.
