Peyton Manning has had a Hall of Fame career, and won his second Super Bowl earlier this month.

Manning, soon to be 40, now can go out on top, and according to reports, that's what he plans on doing.

The reaction from a surprising number of football fans?

Congrats, Peyton. Now get the hell out of here already.

Not exactly sure why Manning is waiting to announce his retirement. He no longer has the skills he once had. https://t.co/mIUuKtE4d7

Not a big shock. It's is bittersweet though. No more Peyton Manning is sad but he wasn't the same this season. https://t.co/xnPz2SHagW

Naturally, the other half of the fans speaking out will miss the legendary QB and are saluting him for his many achievements.
