Would Peyton Manning have still been playing in 2018 if he didn’t break his neck?

Not sure if he would be good now, but the last half of his 14' season and his 15' season would have gone a lot better.  I think he would have kept going until 17 or this season.

Well, I mean, he didn't break his neck. I think playing football for 3 years after breaking your neck like he did would have been sort of....umm...impossible lol. 

With that being said, I think he probably would have retired after 2017 or so. I don't think he would still be an active player going into the 2019 season, he would be super old. He probably would have won more MVP's/Super Bowl's had he lost injured his neck.

He wouldn't be able to throw deep as good as he used to be, therefore he wouldn't be as good at least, because he depended on big plays to score 27 pts.

Brady, on the other hand, doesn't need big plays to score 27 pts

 

Oh my god this is just hilarious.

I think it depends on other factors, such as whether HGH would still be delivered to him - I mean, to his wife.

If he doesn't have the neck issue he's still a Colt. I think they get a lot for Luck so 2011-2013 should be contending seasons. His career numbers would be looking good so he's unlikely to be concerned with Brees or Brady catching him.

2014-2016 is a mystery but I think 2016 is the most as you're already looking at him taking 2 more years of damage as he did in real life.

I don't think he would have played any longer, but Drew Brees would still be chasing his yardage record.  And the passing TD record would require two more years to break by Brees/Brady instead of just 1.

Who knows, Eli looks like he's on his last legs and he's younger.
