Even if he is say 85% physically healthy he will be better than most of the QBs especially with the general garbage that is out there right now.
Take his 2010 stats and reduce them by 15%, this is what you end up with:
4000 yards, 28 TDs, 14 int.
This would still put him in or around the top ten for QBs.
Add into the fact that Peyton's main advantage as a QB is the mental aspect of his game and I see him doing just fine if he is able physically to do the job.
you can't put a % on health and just reduce the stats by that much. peyton mannings main advantage is his knowledge, but all the knowledge in the world is useless without the arm to back it up. ken dorsey was a great football mind and he fucking sucked in the NFL because he didn't have the arm strength.
without full arm strength, peyton is going to find that suddenly he can't fit those tight throws in like he used to. a 15% drop in peytons arm strength/accuracy is going to be much worse than just a 15% drop in his statistics
