Peyton “looked real good” throwing to new Broncos teammates (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=257791)

New HC

They lost Eric Carr and replaced him with the lead league penalty CB

Nobody knows exactly how well Charles is recovering-it appears Berry is on a faster recovering track than Charles

But as was mentioned before- The Chiefs defense was actually better last year when Berry was out than it was when he was playing in 2010

Much tougher schedule

To many question marks on the coaching staff

And finally

Matt Cassell -

I'd be surprised if the Chiefs won 2 of their 1st 6 games- that's a brutal 6 game stretch- I think the writers of KC will go to town on that team by week 7.. calling for Stanzi, is Crennell "over his head"?? etc.. they'll have a field day with the Chiefs in the press and it might take the wind outta that team by week 7 to effectively rebound by then

1-5 heading into the bye

- Rodney Hudson is not a rookie. He played some last year. And he actually played better than Weigman.

- Eric Carr? I didn't realize the former Kiss drummer was a free agent. But seriously, yeah, that could be an issue. I think it's a drop in talent, but not as much as some may believe.

- Chiefs defense got into a groove down the stretch of the season last year, but they were terrible early on. And even in November against Denver, they were not good. Making Houston the starter was a major improvement. Also, remember that Berry was a rookie in 2010. He is a veteran now and that should only help, IMO. Still, I would like to see a statistical comparison to prove that you're not just talking out of your butt.

- I would agree about the question marks on the coaching staff. But I don't believe anyone (not you or anybody else) knows for sure how that's gonna work out. So that's not a real argument, IMO.

You have to account for facing a vastly increased level of competition, though.

This team, with our present starting QB, played 4 winning teams the last two years. And lost to nearly all of them?

We're in for a giant ****ing wake up call.

4 winning teams out of 32 games? How is that even possible?

I did the same for the 2011 Broncos vs 2012 Broncos:

Tebow->Manning +44
Fells->Dreessen +23.2
Bunkley->Bannan -15.3

I'm very excited for this season.

Manning's arm looks like my grandma's neck. Good luck with that.

Manning can't comeback from injury but Charles, Moaki, and Berry can. Makes sense.

Recovering from an ACL tear in your early 20s>> recovering from 4(or was it 5?) neck surgeries in your late 30s

It's not his neck that is even a possible problem. It's his arm strength that is the issue, due to the pinched nerve. The nerve didn't get pinched in the 2010-2011 offseason, Manning has actually been playing with the pinched nerve since probably 2009. Pretending that he will play worse now that he has had the issue addressed than he did when it was bothering him the most is silly.

This has already been covered in another thread. Billay is trying to be OTWP who is the person who originally made that statement.

Are they ever gonna send a pass rush at him...

Fixing the site of the problem doesn't ensure that the nerve will regenerate and function at 100% again.

Watch the video. The neck is not an issue. He will not suffer a neck injury. The only concern was nerve regeneration. The nerves have regenerated. Peyton Manning is back.
