Peyton “looked real good” throwing to new Broncos teammates
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 26, 2012, 3:53 PM EDT


As he settles in with the Broncos, Peyton Manning is learning the rules of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, including that he can work out with teammates, but only away from the team’s facilities and outside the watchful eyes of the coaches. And that’s exactly what Manning did today.

Lindsay H. Jones of the Denver Post reports that Manning took snaps from center J.D. Walton and threw passes to wide receiver Eric Decker and tight end Julius Thomas during a session at a Denver-area high school, and afterward Decker said he liked what he saw.

“He looked real good, though he probably won’t admit that he’s feeling good or feeling back to the way he wants to be,” Decker said.

Decker said Manning is trying to get comfortable with his new teammates now, and that the players who were on the roster last year are talking to him about the offensive concepts the Broncos employed — even though the offense will be quite a bit different with Manning running it in 2012.

“Just some drill work, talking through stuff, so he gets familiar with the verbage and the calls,” Decker said. “The biggest thing is he wanted to get a feel for us, and a feel for being under center.”

The Denver Post published 23 photos from today’s session. To the extent that you can tell anything from a still photo of a guy throwing a pass in sweats and a T-shirt, Manning looks pretty much like he has always looked.

He looks pretty thin to me...not that I've looked at any comparison pictures.

Respect.

The funny thing is we win the division for a second year straight had we blocked one FG, or had Haley been canned sooner. All of this in spite of our abortion at QB, and losing three of our top playmakers on the team. So yes we do feel like this team is bad-ass. If we got a decent QB, we are winning this division outright. We're competing just like you for the division crown even with Casshole behind center.

Manning is a tough SOB. He played with that neck injury for 4 years and was making a run at Favre's consecutive games played record.

Terrell product-of-a-system Davis isn't a top 5 anything except candidate for total knee replacement.

JFC you're ****ing stupid.

Steroids have really messed you up haven't they? You say completely ridiculous things that appear to be fueled by aggression. Do you slobber a lot?

Broncos have a HOF QB. Chiefs got all this new talent and a head coach who wasn't a golfer in a past life.

And guess what will happen?

A 1-1 series split as usual. That's just the nature of this rivalry.

Absolutely.

Pretty sure the Chiefs have an unspoken of 'bounty' on Mr. Manning. The dude should of retired.

I hate to root for injury, but that's perfect. I've got $50 bucks riding on the Chiefs winning the division over the Broncos.

Why are you posting six month old rumours?

Manning is healthier than he has been in half a decade, the media has nothing to write about until training camp starts.

Woah. I think TD was an awesome back. Yes, he played ina favorable system (zone blocking +Elway+Sharpe) Doesn't mean the guy wasn't a BAMF when he was healthy. Hell of a life story too. Definitely made the most of his opportunities.
