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.

We're going to own the West this year!. WF has the Chargers and the Broncos only going 8-8, and let's not even talk about the Raiders :P

The Donks are the only team in the division who upgraded their roster significantly this offseason. They also happen to be the reigning division champs. Predicting anybody else to win the division is foolish, IMO.

Ease up on the magic mushroom meatloaf. If Charles is healthy, KC sweeps Denver and Oakland last year. Hell, they'll probably do it this year if he's back to form. Most complete team in the division.

Our Chiefs also have the worst QB in the division and one of the worst coaching staffs in the league. And when you factor in the Bowe drama, a new offense, and having three of our best players being unsure if they can trust their bodies after blowing their knees out, you have the recipe for an extremely frustrating season.

Peyton can't play outdoors and is old with neck problems. He rode his defense and a BS roughing the passing call that won him the AFC Championship to his one super bowl win (going 3 -7 TD - INT ratio while at it).

**** denver, bronco homers and **** peyton. he'll never be half the QB his Little Brother is.

If this isnt in jest/attempt to troll, you aren't all there.

Charles
Berry
Moeaki
Boss
Hillis
Winston

That's 6 MASSIVE upgrades over what KC had at those spots last year and all of them look to play big roles right away.

If someone gets a little free time they should total up Peytons stats against Romeo teams over his career.

I looked at the last 3 or 4 games and it didn't look good for Manning.

In fact, he got owned.

Romeo has been like kryptonite to Manning.

Here's the thing...Romeo can turn Manning into Cassel, but I doubt he can turn Cassel into Manning.

I just figured it out.

You're a Clay mult.

Thank God. I've been trying to figure that one out for a few years now.

Getting injured players back doesn't count. Winston was a good get and Hillis and Boss are solid backups but I wouldn't say we significantly improved. I would say we stayed the same more than anything.


The Donk's signed a HOF QB and improved at corner, DT, TE, WR, and brought in Jack Del Rio to coach the defense. That is what I would call a significant improvement.

[The Mayor]

@MikePereira: If a QB in shotgun formation thrusts his hands forward while taking a step, the snap must occur at the same time. If not its a false start.

@MikePereira: This is a point of emphasis and not a rule change. Peyton and many others that have imitated him must change their ways. Good emphasis.

They are going to start calling the QB false start again. Peyton does this a lot. I doubt they really call it on him though. They've changed enough rules on his behalf.

Isn't Denver gettin an injured player back?


The fact that the shit you brought in at TE and DT is an improvement is laughable.

How doesn't it count? The boost this team gets from Charles, Berry and Moeaki is huge. The Chiefs almost won the division without them, they should fair pretty damned well with them.

You guys aren't a better team than you were two years ago. You are pretty much the exact same team.

Denver OTOH has improved greatly on the OL, DL, CB, QB, TE, S, and RB spots.
