Yes, I'm blinded by the good-guy image of a man who sexually assaulted a woman and I'm too stupid to see how the greatest QB of this generation could possibly be seen as being still relevant.  I'm such a rube for the media spin machine!

Is Peyton done?  Perhaps.

Did people like you blather on about how "done" he was 3 16-game seasons as a top tier QB ago?  Yep.  The fact that the guy can have 2 bad games within the last 2 months of the season and be declared "done" is a testament to how absurdly high the standard even his most vocal critics hold him to.

I'm not even sure where this perceived smugness of the Texans comes from. The idea of a team with a 2-14 season in the recent past and a QB room of Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallet fighting for the starting gig laughing at even the most broken-down version of Peyton Manning seems a bit off.
