My guess is that they've seen him throw quite a bit and they're more than happy with what they have seen and convinced his current condition is not a negative. If you heard Manning talk, he mentioned over and over again about getting back into the gym and working with the trainers. Physically, he may not be where he wants to be and he may not look like he used to ... it's March.
Let's see how he looks when training camps get here and they're going into the preseason in July/August. I think he'll look more like everyone expects him to look.
It sounds like he's passing the ball fine and with the zip and accuracy that he's always shown and that's what matters at this point.
