That's from 2010. Just like Moeaki, Charles, and Berry.

Peyton still not dialing it up deep

Broncos fans welcomed Peyton Manning to his first training camp in Denver with record attendance and all kinds of excitement. He has energized the organization and its fan base. But as we alluded to in our Denver Broncos season preview, unanswered questions about the 36-year-old quarterback remain.

Manning, who underwent four separate neck surgeries between March 2 of 2010 and September 9 of 2011, didn’t do a whole lot of deep-ball passing in OTAs and minicamps. In early July, Mike Klis of the Denver Post guessed Manning was 85 to 90 percent healthy, before suggesting Peyton might never rediscover the remaining 10 to 15 percent. Manning’s arm strength is a question mark, and he hasn’t answered it yet in training camp.

“Manning has looked better than most people believed he would so far,” ESPN’s Josina Anderson reported on SportsCenter Monday morning. ”But here is a little bit of context: Yes, he’s looked good at the line of scrimmage. His balls have had zip. And the majority of them have been caught. But most of those balls have been short and intermediate, with only a handful of them long.”

Manning is on a pitch count in camp, and it sounds like one of his limitations is a cap on deep-ball tries. So while the entirety of Denver is thrilled with its new quarterback, fans and league observers may not know the extent of what remains in Manning’s tank until he plays extensively in a preseason game.

The Broncos’ exhibition opener is set for Thursday, August 9 at Chicago.

Looks as if Peyton isn't going to come back to 100%. Hope he fails!!!

It sounds like Manning is trying to prepare everyone by tempering their expectations. No arm strength means no deep ball which means Berry and every other safety can play that much closer to the line of scrimmage.

OMG. Can we finally ban this clown. This is trolling, delerium, or simple insanity and it is starting to ruin the otherwise generally logical thinking process on this bb.

Would you consider 40 yards through the air a deep ball? Because he has completed at least one 40 yard pass in each training camp practice.

No. Also, its not just about throwing it deep yardage wise, its about having velocity and strength to get it there quicker and on a lower trajectory. Denver doesn't have burners at WR so he will have to throw perfect passes that get their quickly to get downfield completions. The longer the ball takes to get there, the easier it is for the secondary to adjust and break up the play.

i think he's funny. might possibly be the dumbest person in the history of the internet.

For Cassel it would be.

It is amusing to watch Chief's fan critique our used Bentley as he rolls by in his Yugo.

He can still throw with velocity deep. Every report I have read has said all of his passes have zip.

And if you look at Manning's stats he has only thrown 8 balls that have traveled 40 yards or longer since 2007. That averages out to two a season. No. Big. Deal.

In Peyton's best year as a pro ( the one where he threw 49 TD's) he only threw 1 pass that traveled over 40 yards.

Give it up Chiefs fans. He's good and he's on our team. Best of luck on the season. I hope we're all strong to produce the best come the post season.

**** you for your accurate description!!! :cuss:

I still hope Manning breaks down though. :D

The unprepared nature of the offense is whose fault then? Haley's?

They got their shit pushed in against Oakland and Baltimore. Two ****ing home games. Games in which our 6.0+ YPC running back wasn't handed the ball NEARLY enough times.

I hear you. Can't wait for the first pre-season game so we can start seeing some football.
