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.

What a sad, sad time for the Denver wr core.

Decker hasn't practiced today. He's been getting stretched out by the trainer since very early on in practice.

I did read this camp report by Cecil Lammey on the same day that Broncotalk was referencing.

So you only read reports by the donkey homer reporters.

Got it.

I can recall 2 games where he solidly kicked our ass. The other times, including the playoff game we pretty much went toe-toe and he never walked away with it.

PFM just made a throw to Stokley over the middle that only 5-7 people on earth could make.

Maybe kicked our ass was too harsh, but we lost alot, that's all I mean.

Coolest thing about PFM signing? I got a "Tebow Time" t-shirt at the thrift store for a buck fifty. Mint condition. Awesome.

You don't suppose a guy that refers to Manning as PFM is a bit biased?

By the way- Decker has been working with Manning a lot. They seem to be developing a solid rapport. He should do very well this season.

Vic probably is biased. I don't care.

At 36, within a year of 4 neck surgeries, and missing the last 18 months of football? If indeed he is really good, it will be the first time in history a person of that age, coming off major surgery, and having missed the entire previous season, will succeed with a new team. Probably the closest was Montana when he came to KC. He was Ok, but not great.

But Montana didn't miss an entire season/year and a half, did he? And I'd take Montana in his prime over Manning anyway. By extension, I'd take Montana over Manning in their twilight years.

Manning hasn't thrown a pass in a real game since 2010. I don't care how good he was, it's going to take some time to bang the rust off, time Denver doesn't have. By the time that team gets up to speed (if at all) they could be 1-4 or even 0-5. And will Manning continue to play after that? I doubt it.

It is just a reflection of how pathetic a roster Denver had and still has. Just because your 7th best player that season did nothing doesn't mean ours didn't.

7th was Moeaki. Berry was 14th. If you want to go by pure score, it would be like the Broncos losing Bunkley (+24.1 compared to Charles' +25.7), McGahee (+9.6 compared to Moeaki's +9.4), and Brandon Lloyd's 5 games (+4.6 compared to Berry's +3.8) last season.

And the guys we are worried about don't touch the ball every single offensive/defensive play. Manning might end up being surprised when he starts attempting passes that he used to make in his sleep but now get tipped away or fall slightly short with the slightly less velocity he sounds like he will have.

You apparently aren't clear on the terms of Manning's contract.
As to the rest of your post, I don't blame you for hoping. I would too if I were you.
