Peyton’s thoughts: Broncos QB thinks about playing football — not retiring

Perhaps Broncos QB Peyton Manning has it all planned out how he wants to say goodbye to the NFL — he is the master of preparation, right? But every time he has been asked about it, he has never let on. Until he steps away, it will be a big story, considering he’s one of the NFL’s greatest players and has been an ambassador for the sport. But if he’s planning on this being his last season, then he’s not going to let it be a distraction for the Broncos. In an interview with Manning, Yahoo’s Evan Doherty asked the five-time MVP when he’s going to retire.

“I don’t have those thoughts. I think about playing football to the best of my ability in 2015.

Manning hasn’t gone out of his way to discuss his physical limitations since he left Indianapolis. At some point in retirement (whenever that is), he’ll probably reveal in more detail what he has gone through. Maybe. At that point, it seems we’ll have an even greater appreciation for the second chapter of his career. No high-profile quarterback has had such success with two different teams.
