After Peyton Manning had surgery on his neck, him playing this season was in doubt. In an act of panic the Colts quickly signed the retired Kerry Collins to run the complicated Colts offense. Now it's two weeks into the season and the Colts have started 0-2 for the first time since Peyton Manning's rookie year (1998) where they finished 3-13. Before Peyton Manning had neck surgery, the Colts were expected to compete for a division title. So now the question is, how valuable is Peyton Manning? Considering the Colts are off to their worst start in 13 years, Peyton Manning could be proven to be the most valuable player to his team. This is only proving his worth to the Colts and how much they need him. Without his presence they look like a team competing for the top pick in the NFL draft. The Colts better hope for a speedy return otherwise their season could be in serious jeopardy.
If Manning doesn't return, they can use their draft pick to scoop up a top quarterback prospect to replace him. Neck surgery is serious and should not be rushed. Give Manning the proper time to heal, and the Colts can pick up a better replacement than Collins in the draft. All they can do now is keep their fingers crossed that his surgery doesn't leave him out of the game forever.
