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.

If your oline can't protect a mobile QB in Tim Tebow, how do you expect Mr. Statue to keep standing in one piece (pun intended) back there?

no QB held onto the ball as long as Tebow (3.7 seconds average time in pocket)

Well, yeah. Name me one player not named JaMarcus Russell that wouldn't want to play until they're 50.

Christ, Ryan Sims is still in the league....

Eye test. Defensive lines were getting penetration quickly against your line, I don't care what a stat says.

I'm just saying, nobody loves playing football more than Peyton Manning. He is not your normal NFL player.

I won't argue that. Unfortunately for him, his neck is not like the neck of a normal NFL player, and he ain't gonna see the end of that contract.

Manning's numbers were in decline before the injury, and he's now older, old for the game, and with a missed entire season. Charles, Moeaki and Berry don't fit into that same category.
