For those who hate Peyton, here are some cruel memes:

1. The guy is hurting, so it's natural he won't be playing at his best

I'm not a fan, but I don't like to see an athlete chastised when they're playing in pain.

[El Supremo]

2. The Denver fans booed him mercilessly yesterday.

I'm I big Peyton fan, but he's done. He should have sat this one out.

I'm not going to feel sorry for him. He is rich as shit. He makes more money from his commercials than he does playing. And I think, given time, that all his physical problems will heal enough not to bother him much.

[Auggie]

5. They should boo the coaches

Peyton could have started, set the record, then sat.

[El Supremo]

6. But there was another record to break.

Favre's all-time wins as a QB. Peyton is tied with him at 186. But Brady is close at 169.

That said, Kubiak later said that he should not have even started Manning. I guess they'll drag him out one more time to get that last win. But he is done.

[mythology]

3. As somebody who is recovering from a significant injury

That is preventing me from doing sports at the level, this post is deplorable. What sort of person takes amusement from somebody else being injured?

[El Supremo]

4. He's not injured that bad.

Go voice your sanctimonious scorn somewhere else. And get a donor star while you're at it.

7. the wheels came off pretty spectacularly

he had no business coming back this season

[trumad]

8. Uhh---this has nothing to do with injuries...

QB's eventually hit a wall---every great QB from the past has done that. Shit---Marino fell off a cliff at the end.

Payton has hit the wall---oh sure, he may have a tiny bit of juice left for one or two good showings---I doubt that... but he has hit the wall.

With that said--- dude has proved me wrong before.
