Peyton Manning has to retire or not? analysis

After the elimination of the Denver Broncos at home in the divisional game against the Colts I hear a lot of rumors about Manning's retirement and his supposed inability to play at good levels anymore, that's why i decided to publish this article to explain my opinion about those red hot arguments that in a way or another should chance not only the future of the Broncos but the entire NFL.
Manning's last month of the season has been the 2nd worst of his entire career and the worst after his rookie season with 3 TDs and 6 interceptions but now we take a look of his stats during the entire season: at 38 years old, 16 out of 16 games played, 66.2 complete % on 597 attempts, 4727 yards passed with an AVG of 295.4 per game, 39 TDs and 15 interceptions with an 101. 5 rating. 2nd best in his career in yards passed and 3rd in TD passed counting that he had an awesome career characterized by numbers that none ever put up, that's the 1st point, he put up stats that the 99% of the QB will never reach. The 2nd point is his last bad month is it all his fault??? Well of course it's not, is accuracy numbers fell in the last period but it's even true that he played torn right quad something that could have an impact on his throwing mechanics, after all this about Manning let's talk about his o-line that has been make mixed and some of the players that plays into that changed role significantly before and during this season like RT Franklin who played LG or RG Vasquez who played RT, this should probably improved their running game but it had such a bad impact on their passing game especially on the right side who struggled in pass protection all season long. 3rd point is we are all habituated to hit great performances and numbers and especially after the last year that has been the best in the history for a QB we all pretend that kind of level and even after a great year like that there are some people that thinks he isn't good anymore, after all those personal stats i have to put at least some of his team: 12-4 in regular season having 1 of the hardest schedule in the NFL, he lead his team to score 58 TDs during the regular season tie at 1st place with the GB Packers, 2 of his WRs Sanders and D.Thomas are in the top 5 for yards received and 2nd overall in the NFL for team's total points just 4 behind the Packers.
I think that those numbers are enough to describe what he did, what he's doing and even what he could do even in next few years. I'm far to be a Broncos fan but i love to see Peyton Manning play and i think without any doubt that next year he'll come on the field and will shock the world once again because remember...NEVER COUNT MANNING OUT, his return after that devastating neck injury that seemed to close out his career still fresh in everyone's mind so don't count him out yet because he's that kind of player that control his own destiny and even if his arm is not powerful as it was he still has class over class over class and too much talent that make everyone's forget of that. In my opinion he can still play and most of all he can continue to do great.
