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.

Sounds good to me.

In all honesty, I hope we get a good quarterback soon and that Manning returns to his peak form so there will be some prime matchups like Montana/Elway from back in the day.

Good times... good times.

Peyton = Jamie Moyer, LOL.

Quote:

Manning talked to another confidant, Bill Parcells, who he knew wouldn’t b.s. him. He told Parcells his arm wasn’t 100% yet. “You know who Jamie Moyer is?” Parcells asked, referring to the veteran lefthander who’s been pitching in the majors since 1986. Manning said he did.

“He’s 49 years old,” Parcells said. “He’s not 26 anymore, but he’s still getting ‘em out. Can you still throw well enough to get ‘em out?’

“I think I can,” Manning said.

“Then don’t worry about it.”

The Donks are probably going to open the season on Sunday Night Football against the Steelers.

Yeah, I'd rather that NOT be the first team they play for many reasons.

**BossChief** · 03-27-2012, 02:30 PM

They would straight up embarrass Peyton.

They already surely want revenge for the playoff game and Manning won't be close to ready at that point.

I just hope we get first crack at him.

A comparable case is that of Chris Weinke, who went through the same type of nerve damage and regeneration while he was in his mid-20s at Florida State. Weinke told me he actually came back improved.

"You focus on the little muscles," he said. "You rebuild yourself really from ground zero, because of the atrophy, and when I came back, fundamentally I was better, I was stronger, and actually threw the ball with more velocity after the surgery than I did prior."

That worked wonders for his NFL career.

That's just who I'd want to be compared to.

**BossChief** · 03-27-2012, 02:58 PM

Haha Chris weinke.

BigCatDaddy · 03-27-2012, 03:00 PM

I can throw a better ball then Weinke.

Then play the next 5 on MNF...it's gonna be a long season in that every time you trun on a game in prime time, you will probably see them. I just hope they suck ass. They're not a good team. However, they have one of the best QB's of all time. Kudos to Elway for realizing their QB SUCKED and doing something about it early. Made them division favorites and instant contenders. I love the "win now" approach. Just pissed that Elway still gets the chance to ruin my Sundays.

He looks like that smartass from Tales from the Crypt, that little Cryptkeeper dude....
