Peyton Manning: Neck Healing Slowly

     Although Peyton Manning had neck surgery on September 8 he and Jim Irsay believe that "The Manning Era isn't over in Indianapolis".  Manning believes that he will return to practice late this season.  He may be healing up well yet Manning is old and the Colts have some big decisions to make.  First off, if Indy gets a high draft pick next year than they have to decide what quarterback to draft as Manning's heir in the future.  They definitely a good quarterback if they are willing to contend because as of right now their record is 0-8 with quarterback Curtis Painter under center.  Personally, I would have to say that I would like Manning to come back yet In a way I hope he doesn't because of the rivalry between him and Tom Brady.

     The author of the article does a good job of appealing to the emotions of the reader and making them feel bad for the Colts and Peyton Manning.  Obviously he hopes that Peyton Manning comes back and he may in fact be a Colts fan.  His use of many quotes from Irsay and Manning supported the article and provided evidence in regard of his opinion.
