I'd say he will probably last two years, but as soon as the neck problems come up again, he should quit.

I don't know why Brady even comes into the conversation. He's a year younger than Manning, and doesn't have the medical baggage.

Those guys played in a different era. The QB's weren't protected back then the way they are now. Manning has taken very few shots throughout his career because of how fast he gets rid of the ball.

His neck will not be an issue, it will be stronger than ever. And the nerves in his arm are regenerating at an alarming rate. Every team that has worked him out has said that he looks like the same Manning from two or three years ago.
