A lot of people are getting on Peyton Manning for being over the hill. "It's sad seeing what Manning has become," they say. "It's time for him to hang it up," others quip.
I say that's nonsense. Manning should play until he's eligible for the Senior Olympics. Watching Manning play NFL quarterback today is like watching me playing NFL quarterback, minus the beer belly (I also have a Midwestern accent, not a Southern drawl). It's a crazy amount of fun.
Manning sort of stumbles backwards after taking the snap. You actually worry that he's going to break a hip if he has to go into anything more than a three-step drop.
