15 minutes is light? To see if Peyton F. Manning can throw the football well enough? What do you need to see, another whole body of work? Who’s looking, Elmer Fudd? Duh.

He’s Peyton freakin’ Manning. How many passes does he need to throw, five-hundred? This isn’t the scouting combine or his pro day. As long as he can deliver the ball with velocity, he’s got a decade-and-a-half of film to show he can make all the throws.

Full disclosure I’m a Dolphins fan who never wanted Manning in the Aqua and Orange but realizes he made the organization I love look like damn fools again.
All that said the Mannings are handling this situation like every other football situation like a business. Matter of fact the Mannings family business has been football for 30+ years. There cloak and dagger machiavellian awe shucks routine should fool no one. They are looking for maximum profits, just 2 days ago the national media proclaimed Manning’s decision would not be based on finances today we learn he wants another ridiculous contract at age 36 after being CUTand having four, I said 4, that’s 2×2 neck surgeries. The Manning’s could teach Goldman Sachs a thing or two about snookering the public. I fear that karma will take the form of a blind side sack for Peyton. 16 minutes does not equate to being smashed like a atom by an all-pro linebacker.

Dude, chill. I give you the fact that the Mannings are operating shrewdly (and always have), but when you step back and look at it, have they ever caused any major problems or lit up the crime blotter like a large percentage of NFL players? On the contrary, PM has done a ton of charity work and does not seem to have burned any bridges except with the Dolphins and Cards. Last time I checked, the Mannings had not had to beg or even ask anyone for a meeting to discuss Peyton playing for them.

Remember, he doesn’t need to be 100%. Just needs to convince a team that he will be ready when the season starts.

“This is the same paper who completely missed the fact that Manning had a throwing session with the 49ers right under their nose.”

That’s cuz the 49ers are ninjas.

16 minutes is more than enough time. I saw a game where he threw 6 passes in 22 seconds.

Don’t these Dook students have Lacrosse parties to attend? Cutliffe and Elway both said that he threw, I’ll take that over this crack staff who managed to be all over the 49ers visit…oh wait

I’m sad that wasn’t a real Bigfoot clip. But manning is a douche that only wants money. There’s no way that his career from here on out is successful.

I love how this is written like a grand jury report. Manning must have done some bad stuff.

Actually, manning did. He hid a surgery (at least one) from his team and stole $24 million from Irsay because he knew he couldn’t throw. He knows he can’t throw now and is trying to steal more from whomever will guarantee him the most money. Greedy Swamp Boy. You’ll see.

Per my Latin teacher, Sister Dulcilia … Caveat emptor.

Peyton was throwing 70 yard no look bombs to the guys in the parking lot, from a fifth floor meeting room. Through a tiny “window of opportunity” which was left open specifically for that purpose. As well as to let in fresh air.

Did Manning throw and when did he throw? That is the question.

He can’t hold up. He’s just trying to get some idiot team to pay him another 20 million dollars to hold a clipboard like he did last year.

He threw for 16 minutes? On 03.16? And he wore 16 at Tennessee? It’s a sign. Book it.

its possible all they needed to see was a few passes to know that hes completely healthy and his arm strength is either 100% or close to it.

just my thoughts

Manning is being courted, not vetted. Perhaps you have missed the fact that 1/4 of the NFL wanted to meet him?

That’s 16 minutes longer than needed for someone to sign him…….It has taken on a “who wins the Manning sweepstakes” and a PR move rather than what value he brings right now to a team and what makes sense from a football view and what will makes sense from a business/PR point of view.

Not bitter that he didn’t even give the Hawks a chance to make a pitch; glad they weren’t distracted by this circus.
