A. Every surgery is different. From what I've heard (grain of salt, I know) his neck surgery went off without a hitch and his neck feels good.

B. I doubt you have access to Peyton Manning level medical care.

"Manning had neck surgery Sept. 8, the third and most invasive procedure he'd had in 19 months. Doctors fused two of Manning's vertebrae together, hoping that would fix a damaged nerve that caused weakness in Manning's throwing arm."

I'm not sure why you think the neck and arm issues are completely independent. They are not.

Again, I could be mistaken, but the sensationalist argument about him having a broken neck that keeps popping up is ridiculous in any case.

Peyton or no Peyton or with Cassel at QB.

I bet Panthers go farther than the Chiefs will go in a playoff run in the next 2 years.

I would bet Panthers win a playoff game before Chiefs win a playoff game in the next few years.

I just don't see Peyton coming to KC in the first place & that would be Pioli sticking with Cassel. So I'm focus on hating Cassel at the moment. I hate the #7 it is of the devil.

They are not. I had almost the same surgery (3 vertabrae fused - C5, C6 and C7) because the two discs had herniated - both into nerve canals and one double herniated putting pressure on the spinal cord.

Definately causes pain, numbness and weakness in the arm - the C5-C7 specifically affects the right arm according to my doctor.

I had the anterior surgery done in April. 4 months later the pain and numbness came back. In Ocotober I had both the anterior and posterior surgery done. Now I have a plate on the front spine covering the 3 vertebrate, 2 rods on the back of the spine covering all 3 and bone with metal rods embeded in place of the discs.

Only been a couple of months, but no pain or numbness in the arm, but the neck is (and will most likely always be) sore.
