    The Case for Peyton Manning as Next Indianapolis Colts Coach

    0 of 9

      Is it possible the solution to all the Colts\u2019 current problems has been hiding right under their noses this entire time?

      It might not make sense at first, it\u2019s never going to happen and there\u2019s no way they\u2019d actually consider it anyway, but the answer, curiously enough, just might be yes.

      Why not let Peyton Manning have a shot at coaching this team?

      Even though he\u2019s never coached before, Manning is in many ways just as qualified to run the Colts as any legitimate candidate who\u2019ll lobby for the position if owner Jim Irsay (or new General Manager Ryan Grigson) decide to remove current coach Jim Caldwell this offseason, and considering the utmost confidence Irsay already has in his ridiculously talented veteran quarterback, it\u2019s not an altogether unfathomable notion, either.\u00a0\u00a0

      Granted, making Peyton Manning the first player-coach in NFL history would be without precedent and true, the fallout if it didn\u2019t work out would be monumental. The franchise would be a laughing stock and the NFL might not even allow the move in the first place.

      Assuming they did, however, would it really be that much riskier than picking an established coach instead?

      This team just went 2-14 with a traditional head coach at the helm and he flustered mainly because the most successful personnel executive in NFL history failed to adequately maintain his roster in recent years.

      It\u2019s not like there are any guarantees in this sport, because if there were the Colts wouldn\u2019t be in this mess to begin with.

      Peyton Manning is no ordinary football player, and if there\u2019s a chance he\u2019s even remotely as good at managing a team as he is at playing for one, this is one gamble that\u2019d totally be worth taking.

      Even if it did go wrong and completely blew up in Irsay\u2019s face, after all, so what?

      Look at how easily coaches are replaced in this day and age. It\u2019s not like this would have to be a long-term commitment or anything. Sure, no one would ever forget the debacle and the embarrassment may linger for years, but it\u2019s not like one bad coaching experience is going to bring down an entire franchise, especially one with as little to lose as the Colts.

      Follow along as we plead Peyton\u2019s case, even though he never asked us to and even though we already know our efforts are doomed to fail.

      What\u2019s the worst that could happen?

    The Guy Knows His Football

    1 of 9

      Peyton Manning has been obsessed with the game of football since he was three years old. We know. We have proof.

      As a freshman at Tennessee in 1994, Manning sat on the bench for three games as a third-string quarterback until both guys ahead of him went down with injuries and, until this past September, those were the only games the 35-year-old had missed since high school.

      Manning isn\u2019t simply out there executing, either: The guy has been calling his own plays for most of his professional career and is just as likely to be found throwing an indefensible touchdown pass to an otherwise covered receiver as he is catching the opposing defense with 12 men on the field.

      How many head coaches can truly match the knowledge about this sport Manning has been acquiring non-stop throughout his entire lifetime?

      Scratch that \u2013 how many human beings can match in any field the knowledge Manning has for the game of football?

      Peyton has more playing experience than any coach in the league and is already older than many of the most successful ones in league history were at the time they were first hired (John Madden, Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin, and Mike Shanahan were all younger than Manning is today when they became head coaches).

      Coaching experience is obviously a different beast altogether, but if you evaluate candidates solely on their understanding of the game, Manning trumps any other option the Colts will have if they decide to replace Caldwell this offseason.

      Why not give him the chance to apply what he\u2019s learned in an even greater capacity than he already does?

    He Understands This Offense Better Than Anyone

    2 of 9

      If Manning is a student of the game, he\u2019s a professor of running a fast-paced, no-huddle offense, specifically the one he\u2019s been engineering in Indianapolis for over a decade now.

      The 2011 season showed us just how different this offense operates without Manning starring in it and the contrast could not have appeared any sharper. The guy single-handedly makes this unit among the most effective in the league year after year.

      With him, they can score against anyone. Without him, they\u2019re forever stalled. They make stupid mistakes. They run bad plays. And roughly 55% more often than when Manning is in the lineup, they lose.

      Many of these guys have been playing together for ages, and that will likely still be the case next season even if the team does lose some key free agents in the months ahead. Manning knows all of them. He made them who they are. He\u2019s the catalyst. The rock. The tie that binds them.

      Manning was here before Jim Caldwell, he was here before Tony Dungy, he was here before any player on the current roster and he\u2019ll obviously have been here longer than any new coach the team brings in if they do decide to do so this offseason.

      How could anyone be trusted to facilitate this Colts offense any more than Manning himself?

    He\u2019s a Born Leader

    3 of 9

      Peyton Manning is more than just a superstar quarterback and his presence off the field is often just as pronounced as his efforts are on it.

      In action, Manning commands his offense like no quarterback ever has.

      His teammates trust Manning to not only call the best possible play but to then execute that play successfully. He controls their destiny more than any other player on the roster, he puts them in position to win nearly every time they play and more often than not over the course of his storied 14-year career that\u2019s exactly what he\u2019s done, winning 141 of 208 regular season games.

      Even when not playing, however, Manning is still an active participant in every game he attends.

      This season offered a particularly heavy dose of Manning\u2019s sideline alter ego as injuries kept the quarterback from appearing in any game all year long, and even though the results were far from successful, the implications the experience had for Manning\u2019s future in a coaching position were definitely encouraging.

      Manning just can\u2019t get enough of this stuff, and after this season we all know it'll take a whole lot more than a few measly old neck surgeries to keep him out of football for good.\u00a0

      For the first few games of the season, Manning was only allowed to watch games from the press box, but as soon as doctors gave him the necessary clearance, he was back on the sideline, diligently monitoring the performance of his team week after week like a father keeping watch over his sons.

      He mentored his fellow Colts quarterbacks to any extent that he could this season, he participated in team meetings and he reportedly advised the current coaching staff as their struggles continued to mount all season long.

      Peyton Manning has always been an excellent player, but after seeing how comfortable he looked this season as more consultant than contributor, his image has accordingly evolved into something of an authoritative figure now, too.

      Is it really that hard to imagine Manning now adding \u201chead coach\u201d to this title after the way he handled himself this year?\u00a0

    He Can Handle It

    4 of 9

      If it\u2019s possible for any player to simultaneously act as coach, Peyton Manning is just the guy to do it.

      Obviously we know Manning can handle his business as a player, and clearly we can only assume from what we\u2019ve seen that he also has the persona and dedication necessary to function as a coach.

      Why wouldn\u2019t he able to do both?

      This isn\u2019t just a great player we\u2019re talking about here, after all, this is one of the biggest celebrities in all of sports.

      Manning hasn\u2019t just been making tough decisions at the line of scrimmage all these years, he\u2019s been juggling his wildly successful career in the most popular sport in America with his emergence as a TV pitchman and a never-ending whirlwind of public scrutiny from both critics and supporters alike.

      In many ways the Peyton Manning brand has flourished specifically because of the star\u2019s ability to play multiple roles.

      Is it really fair to think he\u2019d be overwhelmed acting as player and coach simply because we know the challenge would be so immense?

      Hasn\u2019t this guy been overcoming immense challenges all his life?

    Look at Jim Harbaugh

    5 of 9

      There\u2019s no question about it: San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh and Peyton Manning are totally different people in countless significant ways.

      But when it comes to predicting what kind of coach Manning would be if ever the day finally came, Harbaugh is the only contemporary we have to compare him to at this point and on that basis alone, strong associations between these two can easily be drawn.

      Like Manning, Harbaugh is still relatively young (his last season was 2001 and several of his former teammates are still active) and, like Manning, he played the quarterback position at the professional level for a very long time (14 seasons and 177 career games).

      Harbaugh wasn\u2019t just some nameless, game-managing QB, either: The guy led the league in passer rating in 1995 and went 2-3 during three separate playoff runs throughout his career.

      So far he\u2019s the most accomplished quarterback-turned-coach ever, and after the success the 49ers had this season under his guidance (13-3 with virtually the same roster that had underachieved for years going just 37-59 since 2005), he\u2019s on an early pace to become one of the most successful player-to-coach converts in NFL history.

      Harbaugh\u2019s background isn\u2019t the only reason for his success, he\u2019ll be the first to tell you, in fact, but because he is the first legitimate star quarterback to prove on-field performance really can translate to success on the sideline too, the road to coaching glory, should Manning ever decide to pursue it, will have been paved by Harbaugh and primarily by his breakout season this year.

      While not nearly to the same extent, Harbaugh as a player also exhibited many of the same attributes people love to identify in Manning.

      He too was a leader. He played smart. He was resilient (you don\u2019t snag a nickname like \u201cCaptain Comeback\u201d without knowing a thing or two about overcoming adversity, after all).

      Even so, Peyton Manning was ten times the quarterback Jim Harbaugh ever was, even at his worst.

      Who\u2019s to say he wouldn\u2019t be ten times the coach?

    It Might Solve Indy\u2019s Potential QB Dilemma

    6 of 9

      If Manning takes over as coach next season, it just might help ease the tensions that may otherwise begin mounting with both Manning and inevitable No. 1 draft pick Andrew Luck gracing the same roster.

      The notion of having two franchise quarterbacks is obviously tempting, but it often works better in theory than in practice, no matter what the Green Bay Packers might have to say about it.

      Manning needs as much playing time as he can physically muster from this point on. His career is ending. His window is closing. His legacy depends on it.

      Luck likewise has plenty of incentive to start playing as soon as possible, however, because at this point the guy is still nothing but a prospect and nothing is guaranteed anymore under the new rookie pay scale, even for a top pick like him. Luck\u2019s career is just beginning. He needs to prove he\u2019s worth the hype. His future depends on it.

      By eliminating the traditional coach position and passing those duties on to Peyton, not only would the team free up some cash that could help them keep both quarterbacks signed to appropriate deals, they could foster an environment that might keep both star players happy.

      Luck would probably feel a little more comfortable riding the bench if the guy in front of him were coincidentally the head coach of his team, after all (who wouldn\u2019t feel humbled by a situation like that?), while Manning on the other hand would probably be a little more willing to share the role with his successor if he were as equally invested in this team\u2019s future as he already is its present.

      Luck is happy, Manning stays in Indianapolis and Colts fans everywhere, well they just get to have their cake and eat it too, now don\u2019t they?

      Problem solved.

    It\u2019s Worked in Other Sports Before

    7 of 9

      As radical as the practice may now seem, player-coaches were to some extent common in both basketball and baseball before the 1980\u2019s.

      Bill Russell is probably the most famous example, who led the Boston Celtics to consecutive NBA Finals victories in the late 1960\u2019s in only three years as player-coach (starting at age 33, two years younger than Peyton is now), but others abound, including Lenny Wilkens, Pete Rose, Ty Cobb, Frank Robinson, and Joe Torre.

      Granted, none of those guys had to deal with round-the-clock news coverage, 53-man rosters or 300-pound human grizzly bears trying to obliterate them every time they played, but that in no way diminishes what they accomplished.

      These guys were professional athletes. In America. And it worked.

      Isn\u2019t it possible there\u2019s an advantage to having your best player also be your coach, especially your quarterback?

      Who better to decide half-time adjustments than the guy who just got finished standing smack dab in the middle of the action for the last hour or so?

      Who better to evaluate personnel than the same guy who has to line up right beside them every week and trust they\u2019ll protect him against an NFL defense?

      Manning already acts like a coach while he\u2019s playing.

      How scared would opposing teams be if he also coaches like he plays?

    It\u2019d Be Super Cool

    8 of 9

      Who cares whether it amounts to anything or not, how historically cool would this be just to witness?

      Ticket prices would soar. Hysteria would rule the streets. ESPN would create a whole new channel, and Peyton Manning would ascend to a level no NFL figure has ever reached before.

      Opportunities to do ridiculously cool things like this in sports only come along so often and very rarely are they taken.

      LeBron James has been teasing us with the idea of becoming a dual sport athlete for years now.

      Not happening.

      LeBron was also involved in some well-publicized hoopla over a potential pay-per-view one-on-one game against Kobe Bryant a few years back, after the Lakers shooting guard called out the younger James and claimed he would win the epic showdown if it ever took place.

      It didn\u2019t.

      It\u2019s time for a change.

      Here\u2019s a genuine opportunity to give loyal sports fans something they never realized they\u2019ve always wanted, and it\u2019d require little sacrifice and only average risk to make it happen.

      All you\u2019d really need is an ambitious owner who doesn\u2019t mind challenging conventional thinking from time to time and is willing to take a risk every now and then and this could actually become a reality.

      Check.

    It\u2019d Make Tons of Money

    9 of 9

      And you thought you were already sick of hearing Peyton Manning\u2019s name every five minutes.

      Just you wait.

      Remember the Manning Bowl?

      How about Manning Bowl II?

      Well you can go ahead and forget about both of them the day Peyton \u201cSlash\u201d Manning is named head coach/player because from that moment on, every single game will be a bigger, more publicized spectacle than the one before it.

      Just in case you (or you, Jim Irsay) forgot, Peyton Manning is already one of the most marketable players in NFL history.

      If he were somehow able to now become the first player-coach ever in this day and age with the massive star power he\u2019s already accumulated, the whole world might just completely explode the day the news breaks.

      Manning\u2019s name will be absolutely everywhere. The Colts will be everywhere. Preseason games will be sold out, and playoff games, if the arrangement miraculously works out the way it very well could, will be ferociously fought over like locks of Justin Bieber\u2019s hair.

      Win or lose, this move will pay off the moment it\u2019s announced.

      Potentially millions of dollars in otherwise unobtainable revenue plus the chance to make history and all you have to do is trust your team for one lousy year to the same guy that almost single-handedly made your franchise into what it is today?

      When you stop and really weigh the options, this one\u2019s kind of a no-brainer.

      Please, Jim Irsay. Do the right thing this offseason.

      You\u2019ve never been shy about the trust you have in your beloved No. 18.

      Now\u2019s your chance to prove just how deep that trust really goes.

    INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 It was early in 1998, Howard Mudd had a note waiting for him on his desk.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    He had just been hired as the new offensive line coach of the Indianapolis Colts, who had allowed 62 sacks the season prior, the third highest figure in the league. The Colts had just invested the No. 1-overall pick on a quarterback out of the University of Tennessee named Peyton Manning, and Mudd knew his No. 1 objective was to keep that rookie's uniform clean.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    But, just in case he needed a reminder, Jim Irsay was happy to oblige.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    \"I don't want to see dirt on 18's uniform. Not a lick,\" Irsay recalled writing to Mudd that day. \"I mean, nothing. No one touches him.\"

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    For the next decade-plus, Mudd \u2014 and the offensive linemen he guided \u2014 would uphold that standard.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    From 1998 through 2009, the Colts would rank no lower than 10th in the league in fewest sacks allowed; more often than not, if they weren't No. 1 in the league in that category \u2014 as they were six times under Mudd \u2014 they were at least in the top three or four.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    The legendary Mudd passed away Wednesday following a tragic motorcycle accident near his Seattle home. He was 78 years old.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    Irsay, Manning and several others, including Colts head coach Frank Reich and general manager Chris Ballard, offered their fond memories of time spent with Mudd over the years.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    In an interview with Colts.com's Jeffrey Gorman, Irsay talked about how his relationship with Mudd far exceeded that of owner and coach.

    \n\n
    \n
    \n
    \n\n\n
    \n

    \"It's a very, very, tough one for Colts Nation,\" Irsay said. \"I've been around a lot of coaches for 50 years in this league, some of them are like fathers and uncles and brothers, and as you get older they're like sons, but Howard was very special, and in all three categories: as a coach, as a man and as a great friend. It's a real difficult day for Colts fans, because everyone knows how much Howard meant to the Horseshoe and how much he was loved.\"

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    Mudd first gained notoriety as an All-Pro offensive lineman with the San Fransisco 49ers, who selected the All-American out of tiny Hillsdale College in Michigan in the ninth round of the 1964 NFL Draft.

    A member of the NFL 1960s All-Decade Team, Mudd would be named All-Pro two times and selected a starter to three Pro Bowls over the course of his playing career with the 49ers (1964-69) \u2014 who have since named Mudd to their All-Golden Era Team \u2014 and the Chicago Bears (1969-70).

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    After an eight-year playing career cut short by a knee injury, Mudd entered the coaching ranks as an offensive line coach at the University of California in 1972, spending two years at the school. He got hired onto the staff of the San Diego Chargers in 1974, sparking a decades-long career as one of the greatest offensive line coaches in NFL history.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    Mudd was on the staff of the Chargers (1974-76), 49ers (1977), Seattle Seahawks (1978-82; 1993-97), Cleveland Browns (1983-88), Kansas City Chiefs (1989-92) and Eagles (2011-12), but he's perhaps best known for his work with the Colts' offensive line from 1998 through 2009.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    A key member of the Colts' Super Bowl XLI-winning staff in the 2006 season, Mudd's innovative ways \u2014 he is largely responsible for the silent count methods utilized by most teams today \u2014 and ability to teach and develop players up front set him apart from any other offensive line peer.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    \"As a football coach: he was \u2014 and I don't use this term often \u2014 he was remarkable,\" Irsay said. \"I mean, people know football and they know the offensive line is the engine that drives your football team; that is the engine. That is the most important thing in determining victories besides the quarterback is the battle at the line of scrimmage, and Howard was a Hall of Fame chief mechanic. I mean, he knew how to get offensive lines to play.\"

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    Irsay recalled a game against the Denver Broncos, who had a stud defensive lineman tearing up the rest of the league on a weekly basis. So Mudd decided to move his All-Pro center, Jeff Saturday, to guard, and move his guard to center, knowing Saturday could handle his own against that particular player.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    It worked like a charm.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    \"The guy was neutralized the whole game,\" Irsay recalled. \"Saturday knew he could block him, and he did, and we won the game just because, I mean, you have to understand, at the NFL level, that's very rarely done; that out of the middle of a season you take a guy from center and move him to guard and then move him back like Howard did. But that was Howard.\"

    \n\n\n
    \n

    Not surprisingly, Mudd also grew extremely close with Manning over the years. From 1998 through Mudd's final full season with the Colts in 2009, the Indy offensive line ranked second, first, tied for first, 10th, fourth, third, tied for first, first, seventh, fourth and first in fewest sacks allowed.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    \"In every game plan meeting and every practice I know he was always thinking about how to protect me as a quarterback in the pocket with different blocking schemes and ways to run the ball,\" Manning said Wednesday in a statement. \"That was always on his mind and he kept that thought process with him throughout his whole career. As a quarterback, I can't tell you how much that meant to me knowing that was on his mind and that was one of his top priorities.\"

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    Mudd, Manning said, \"was the best offensive line coach in NFL history.\"

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    \"I would put him on that pedestal any day of the week,\" Manning continued. \"I know all the guys that played for him would feel the same way and a lot of the guys that coached with him would feel the same. He will be missed by many. I know so many like me are grateful to have played for him.\"

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    Reich got his break in coaching with the Colts in 2006 as an intern, and quickly moved his way up from there, becoming an offensive assistant in 2008, quarterbacks coach in 2009 and wide receivers coach in 2011.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    Usually a very mild-mannered person, Reich recalled today a time when he had a rare blowup at Mudd's expense \u2014 and the old football coach loved every second of it.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    \"I was the offensive quality control (coach) and then I was the quarterback coach. So working with Peyton, I would have to go into Howard's office all the time to talk about the run game and things relevant to the quarterback,\" Reich said. \"I remember going into his office one time and he had pushed me around one too many times verbally, I just finally lashed back out on him. It was a good lashing for me. You guys know me, so you can imagine that for me to get this worked up and to strike back verbally was a rare instance. I let him have it. After I was finished, he just started laughing and he said, 'I love that. That's what I love to see.' He was just an old ball coach. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and Shirley (Mudd) \u2013 just have a lot of love and respect for Howard Mudd.\"

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    Reich and Mudd's connection came full circle early last year, as he was vetting candidates for his open offensive line coach position. Reich knew Mudd was close friends with Chris Strausser, and wanted to get his honest assessment of his coaching skills.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    By the time their lengthy conversation was over \u2014 Strausser eventually ended up getting the job \u2014 Reich had an idea: he wanted to bring Mudd back aboard the coaching staff, too. He got approval from Irsay and Ballard, and soon Mudd was hired on as a senior offensive assistant coach, helping Strausser get his program off the ground for the next seven months before deciding to step down before the start of the regular season.

    \n\n
    \n
    \n
    \n\n\n
    \n

    \"I'm privileged to have had the chance to work with Howard and I learned a tremendous amount from him in the five seasons we coached together in Indianapolis,\" Reich said. \"I consider Howard one of the greatest offensive line coaches in football and I have a tremendous amount of love and respect for him.\"

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    Ballard, who has made it no secret how much he prioritizes top-notch offensive line play, said Mudd is \"not only one of the game's greatest coaches, but an even better man.\"

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    \"Howard made a lasting impact not only with the Colts organization, but the NFL in general,\" Ballard said. \"His contributions to this game as both a player and coach are remarkable and span several decades. Howard coached Colts offensive lines that routinely ranked at the top of the league and were a significant reason for the team's sustained success. I'm thankful I had the chance to get to know Howard.

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    \"My thoughts and prayers are with Shirley and his family.\"

    \n\n
    \n\n
    \n

    Irsay, Manning, Reich and Ballard were joined by several other former Colts players and coaches to offer their memories of Mudd on Wednesday:

    \n\n
    \n
    \n\n
    \n \n\n
    \n

    Dungy on Mudd: "The thing that I loved about Howard, that I'll never forget, is he was never one pounding on the door and saying 'We got to draft this guy in the first round.' ... It was always get weapons. Get guys who can score, and we'll develop talented offensive linemen."

Not just what he was as a great coach but more for being a great person. #RIPCoachMudd. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffe\ud83d\ude47\ud83c\udffe\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffe pic.twitter.com/G42IhRXc7y

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\tSean Payton hints at moving on from Russell Wilson, says Broncos have to hit on 'the next one' at QB\n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t

    Peyton Manning (born March 24, 1976, New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.) American collegiate and professional gridiron football quarterback who is considered one of the greatest players at his position in National Football League (NFL) history. He won Super Bowls as the quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts (2007) and the Denver Broncos (2016).

    Manning was immersed in football from a very young age. His father, Archie Manning, was a star quarterback with the New Orleans Saints. (Younger brother Eli also became an NFL quarterback, and he led the New York Giants to victory in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI.) Peyton Manning was highly regarded as a high-school player and received a national Player of the Year award in his senior season. He attended the University of Tennessee, where he was the starting quarterback for four years. He earned the Sullivan Award as the country\u2019s top amateur athlete in 1996, was selected a first-team All-American in 1997, and finished his collegiate career in 1998 as Tennessee\u2019s career passing leader.

    Manning was drafted first overall by the Colts in 1998. After struggling somewhat in his rookie season, he helped the Colts in 1999 to win the franchise\u2019s first division title since 1987. In 2000 Manning threw for 4,413 yards and 33 touchdowns to finish among the NFL\u2019s leading passers. Three years later he shared the league\u2019s Most Valuable Player (MVP) award with Steve McNair of the Tennessee Titans. Manning won the MVP honour outright in 2004 with a sensational performance that included 49 touchdown passes and a passer rating of 121.1, both NFL records for a single season (his touchdown record was broken in 2007, and his passer rating record fell in 2011). His on-field greatness and amiable personality made him an extremely popular commercial pitchman, which significantly increased his celebrity over the years. While not as seemingly omnipresent as such contemporary athletes as Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, Manning reached a level of fame few football players\u2014whose accessibility to fans has been historically limited by, among other factors, the briefness of their careers and playing while wearing face-obscuring helmets\u2014had ever reached.

    During the 2005 season, Manning led the Colts to victories in their first 13 games. Although considered one of the favourites to win the Super Bowl, the team lost in the divisional playoffs to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Some questioned Manning\u2019s ability to win a championship, but in the 2006 season he silenced his critics. He threw for 4,397 yards\u2014the seventh time in his career he had passed for more than 4,000 yards, breaking Dan Marino\u2019s record\u2014to lead the Colts to 12 wins during the regular season. After playoff victories over the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, and New England Patriots, Manning helped the Colts defeat the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI. For his performance, which included 25 completed passes for 247 yards, Manning was named the game\u2019s MVP. In 2008 he won the league MVP award a third time, and in 2009, en route to a record fourth MVP award, he led the Colts to a franchise-best 14\u20130 start to the season. While Manning led the Colts to another Super Bowl berth the following postseason, the spectre of his past failure to win big games was again raised, as he threw a game-changing interception in the fourth quarter of a loss to the New Orleans Saints.

    Manning once again earned Pro Bowl accolades after leading the Colts to a 10th consecutive playoff berth in 2010. He had neck surgery the following off-season (the third procedure on his neck in a 19-month span), and a difficult recovery forced him to miss the entire 2011 season, which brought his streak of consecutive regular-season starts to an end at 208 games (the second highest total for a quarterback in NFL history). Without Manning, the Colts struggled to a 2\u201314 record. The team released Manning in March 2012 to avoid paying the injured quarterback a $28 million bonus and to begin rebuilding around a nucleus of younger players, and he signed a five-year contract with the Denver Broncos.

    \n

    In Denver Manning quickly returned to his previous form. He led the NFL in completion percentage (68.6) while passing for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns. Manning led Denver to a conference-best 13\u20133 record, but he again met with postseason disappointment as the Broncos were upset in their opening playoff game. In 2013 Manning had one of the all-time best seasons for an NFL quarterback: he established new league records with 5,477 passing yards and 55 touchdown passes while throwing just 10 interceptions. The Broncos scored an unprecedented 606 points over the course of the season, again finishing with 13 wins and as the top seed in the AFC. Manning also won a fifth league MVP award. He led the Broncos to two playoff victories (including a win over his longtime rival Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game) to advance to the Super Bowl, which the Broncos lost to the Seattle Seahawks. In October 2014 Manning threw his 509th career touchdown pass, breaking the record held by Brett Favre. (Manning\u2019s record was later broken by Brady and Drew Brees.) He finished the 2014 season with 4,727 passing yards and 39 touchdowns, but the Broncos were again upset at home in the team\u2019s first playoff game, this time by Manning\u2019s former team, the Colts. Manning struggled during the following regular season but nevertheless broke Favre\u2019s record of 71,838 career passing yards in November 2015. (Manning\u2019s record was in turn broken by Brees in 2018.) An injury-plagued and ineffective Manning was replaced as the team\u2019s starting quarterback soon afterward, but he had resumed that role by season\u2019s end, and he then led the Broncos to a division title and another trip to the Super Bowl, where the team defeated the Carolina Panthers to capture the franchise\u2019s first title in 17 years. He retired from professional football in March 2016, with career totals of 71,940 passing yards and 539 touchdowns. Manning was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
