I could care less about his health the first four games. It's the last four that really count.
And another note I heard on teh radio yesterday that I found a bit interesting. They were saying Manning had like 30 of his TD throws last season against teams with sub-par CB's. They said going against the teams in the playoffs that have top notch CB's has been a lot tougher for Manning, sans the no SB appearance for the Colts.

Who ever it was that said this about Manning has no freakin' clue what the hell they are talking about.
The Patriots secondary was made up of rookies and scrubs when the Colts lost to them.
Manning struggles mightily against teams that play a physical D.
Even though the Pats secondary wasn't the most talented, they did what they needed to, i.e., hitting the receivers at the line, disrupting their routes, while the front 7 put consistent pressure on Manning.
If the timing in their offense is disrupted, and Manning starts to take a couple hits, he gets rattled and starts just making bad throws and bad decisions, which is why I refer to him as a pussy, and call his MVP award the Most Vaginal Player.
