Sure Manning has all the tools needed to be an NFL QB but his football knowledge is what seperates him from the pack. This article went into depth on just two plays and how he can disect a defense in just seconds then destroy them. Imagine a guy like Cam Newton that had Mannings mind....the NFL wouldnt be ready for that. After all, it isnt even ready for Manning himself.





Greg Cosell’s Film Review; Peyton Manning’s complete command of the game, shown by two incredible adjustments

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning made a great play on a 22-yard gain to Demaryius Thomas on Monday night against Oakland. It was a great throw, with perfect ball placement, but the game film showed there was much more to that highlight play that probably went unnoticed.

The play the Broncos called was ruined right after the snap, and Manning made something happen on his secondary read. Manning's quick decision making and execution on the play were impressive.



The Broncos showed a power run to the right, and ran a play-action fake off it. The left guard pulled to sell the run fake. Tight end Julius Thomas and slot receiver Wes Welker ran vertical routes. The goal was to get middle linebacker Nick Roach and the slot cornerback to come up on the run fake, so Welker and Thomas could run deep with one safety to deal with them both.
