His season is done.

Another loss at WR for Peyton Manning. Ouch.

That really sucks for Austin, he's a good WR that seems to get hit in the worst possible way, especially after it's already happened a few times, disaster is awaiting. Time to rest and get fully healthy for next year so something major doesn't happen.

Good. He needs to get better for next season, and worry about his future.
It's about the safety of Austin at this point. I'm fine with this move obviously.


Hell, it's time for Blair White to step up and fill in his spot.

Man this sucks for Collie, and for Peyton. Peyton has like an 81 QB rating to Collie. (highest in the NFL from a QB to a single WR)

I hope he can come back strong next year...and have a concussion free season.

I would like to see what Austin Collie can do staying healthy, playing for an entire season. I know he did last year but that was his first year. This year he's nearly put up the same numbers as last year playing about 7 games less. I think Collie is going to be a great WR in the future, if he stays healthy.

Yeah, I think he'll turn out to be a very good WR if he can keep his head up.

I know Peyton Manning has a lot of confidence in Austin when he's out there playing, whether that be running the correct routes or catching the balls thrown his way.

Sucks but as said, this is better for the safety of Collie. He has shown flashes of being a reliable, great receiver. Concussions are just apart of the game. Hope he comes back next year back to normal.

As much as it sucks that we lost yet another wide reliever, I'm glad he's on the shelf. He needs to stay healthy, and literally, learn to keep his head up when taking a hit.

Lol.. Yeah, he could really do a lot when he took that last hit against the Jags. Come on man. If you wanna start blaming people, why don't you blame Peyton for stringing that ball into three defenders for him to get rocked?

I mean, it just isn't Austin's fault at all..
