...that this could be it for Peyton, that he'll retire after the Super Bowl. I can see why he'd want out, he now has children and I'm sure he wants to spend more time with them. But selfishly, I'd like to see him hang around for a couple more years to break Favre's records, and maybe even win another ring or two. He just had the best season any QB has ever had, so clearly there's still plenty left in the tank.

I feel sure he will retire if he wins it. There was an article last week about how he would be having a examination of his neck at the end of the season to see if it was OK to play some more.
But he might feel that he should get out why he's still reasonably healthy.

I just looked up the career records. Peyton is 19 wins, 17 TDs, and slightly less than 7000 yards behind Favre. He could easily break the TD record next season, and the other two the year after that. However, hot on their heels is Drew Brees. He's about 3 years younger than Peyton, and given his average season, about 3 years behind him numbers-wise. So even if Peyton gets all the records, they could be threatened again after a few years. I didn't realize that Brees was up that high. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_td_career.htm |

I would like to see him break Favre's records, just because. But since his critics aren't gonna concede anything even if he broke God's records, I'd like to see him win this one and call it a wrap. It'll be a sad day when he does. But I don't want to see him hang around too long...and, let's face it, at his age and condition, every new season there's a risk of beginning the slide.

Selfishly, I want him to keep going but I know time waits for no man. Even though it won't be a surprise whenever he hangs it up, personally I'll be heartbroken.

I'm hoping that Peyton wins it and he walks away. He's got nothing more to prove.
I see a lot of UT fans who are just convinced that Peyton is going to coach at UT after he retires. I just don't see him as a college coach playing the recruiting game with 16 and 17 year old narcissistic personalities and egotistical parents. If he coaches it will be in the NFL, in my opinion.
But I really don't even see him in coaching at all. I see Peyton either in media work or a front office capacity, like John Elway opted to do, and I really see Peyton as an NFL owner one day.

Totally agree. The thought that he'll coach UT someday is a ridiculous pipe dream, imo. |

Although former players often go into coaching, rarely do you see former superstar QBs go that route. Peyton is a multi-millionaire with twin baby boys- he doesn't need that hassle. However, I wouldn't be shocked to see him go into politics at some point. He could easily be elected to office in at least four different states right now. |

Ex-players generally go into coaching because they need the money. If I were Manning I wouldn't consider it in a million years. But Manning isn't ordinary. There's probably never been a player with his competitive drive. Can he stand to just sit around for the rest of his life and not be calling some shots on the football field? I'm not so sure he can.

I've thought that Peyton coaching college is a possibility and would love to see him coach at UT, but I have no idea how much of a possibility that is. Who knows what is on his mind. I think that he will want to coach because he strikes me as a guy who will not be able to stand being away from the game in an active role. I think that if he does want to coach that it will be in the NFL, but I also think he could want to coach college as he might prefer to work with kids rather than adults so to speak. The truth is that none of us have a clue as to what is on his mind, but I think calling the thought of him coaching college ridiculous is, well - ridiculous. By the way, this is all with a friendly tone.  |

Anyone who has watched Peyton over the years knows that they will have to drag him off the field. Think about all the times he stayed in during routs his senior year (leading in one case to a Donnan blowup, lol). Think about him playing hurt against Nebraska in the Orange Bowl (and honestly hurting our chances). Think about how much the stats and records obviously matter to him.
No, he will retire either from a nonrecoverable injury or when he gets to the point he will taint his legacy if he keeps playing. I would say he has about 3-4 more years before that happens.

I tend to agree. The guy just threw for more yards and TD's in a season than anyone in the history of the NFL. He's hardly limping along. |
