Thread: Peyton Manning's ability to throw the long ball, has drastically declined. His thigh is good right?

And I'll add that there are some things Brock does better; he has a stronger arm and is a lot more mobile.

If I remember correctly from one of the articles I've seen today, they had two completions against the first string defense.

He has feeling in his finger tips.

What the Broncos did on defense has little to do with my post. In fact, it has nothing to do with it.

IMO teams will see what SF did and may very well do that on PM when he is under center. He usually identifies the blitzer out of shot gun, calls hot routes, gives blocking assignments to the line etc. Now, when he is under center, it is a whole lot different.

In other words, PM right now is pretty much a one dimensional QB. There really are no other dimensions. Not even a QB sneak. In short yardage that is sometimes a best play. I saw OZ run one of those pretty effectively last night. I know Brady does that more often than you think too. Yes a little irrelevant.

Look, I am saying what we saw the last half of last season was not an abberation imo. I think it is simply something that we need to prepare expectations for. Not saying he will not do a lot of good things. Like you all pointed out, he did make a great pass.

He made good passes against the Colts in the play offs too. Most of them were not however, and he did not exactly generate a lot of points last night. He under threw one pass that would have been a TD to DT and the other under throw was a bad int in the red zone.

He will most likely make more great passes than bad ones, but I do not see him coming close to what many seem to expect. Yes, I also think OZ fits in better with what Kubiak truly wants to do with his stretch run.

I tend to agree with what you're saying and because of that, as I said last night I think it's only a matter of time before we see the offense morph back in to more of what made it to successful prior to the second half of last season. I think it'll transition to a lot more shot gun, a lot less rolling out (which I don't expect a lot of to begin with) and less ZBS.

Excuse me for posting in your thread. I will keep that in mind in the future.

Which is one of the things i pointed to in my initial post.

Manning has always been "one dimensional."

Figure out quick...Carol (Denver native) is our mama bird here...do NOT disrespect her...under any circumstances. People are going to have different opinions and other facets, not directly tied to the original post will come up.

I dont think Broncoknight disrespected her. He was only clearing up what his point was about.

I marked the date, and I will keep that in mind too.

I looked at the screen and went wait what does that really say -13.

Peyton looked much better in camp with his passes. He had no time and I mean no time on many of the his throws with the firsts. I love Max, but I'm so glad that they brought in Mathis.

I hope you're joking because if not you sound like a real tool.
