Two rookie QBs taking teams to the playoffs. Awesome.
As for Ryan MVP consideration. I think he'll finish second behind Manning. When there's 2 minutes left in a game and the Colts are down, he's money in the bank to get the ball down the field and win the game. Manning's timing was off because of the preseason surgery, but over the past 10 weeks he's regained the throne as the better Manning.

Did you read that MMQB article I liked a bit earlier? It has a lot of detail on Manning's injury. It sounds way worse than the Colts let on.
Quote:
So the second surgery was set for July 31 at 6 a.m. Manning was told it'd take about 30 minutes to sew about 20 sutures in the knee. The Colts had a car set to pick Manning up to take him home at 9 a.m.
He woke up at 5 p.m. There weren't 20 sutures implanted. Doctors had to use 80. Surgery didn't take 30 minutes. It took three hours.
"They didn't have a choice,'' Manning said. "There was so much fluid, the pockets were so big, that they had to use 80.''
