`If Brett Favre can play into his 40's, so can Manning and Brady.
Every single player in the NFL is just one hit away from The End.
The guy is coming off the best regular season of his career which happened to come 2 years after missing an entire season to injury. He has had arguably the 2 best years of his career at ages 36 and 37. There's just no evidence to support your assertion of the cumulative effect of years piling up. I just don't see him hitting a brick wall like you think he will.
I expect the same from Brady.
The years are taking their toll on Manning. He used to have an accurate rocket. Now he floats short and intermediate passes to excellent receivers. He knows where to throw it, but he is nowhere near what he used to be.
