Haha… Even if he’s 60% of what he was that’s still better than 26 of the NFL’s starting QBs. Do any of you remember a guy by the name John Elway who won 2 Super Bowls at 37 and 38? And if he doesn’t stay healthy we cut him just like the contract reads. I saw him and he looks amazing.

Does anyone do any research before they post on here or publish articles?

I can tell you there have been at least three references to Manning making DEEP throws including two I believe for TD’s in training camp.

This is nothing more than uninformed tripe designed to stir controversy.

If you want news on the Broncos don’t read it here go to the Denver Post.

This is hiliarious.

They run Tebow out of town for a hospital bed and now people are worried if he can throw the deep ball.

Manning is a joke who can’t play anymore because hes old and broken down. They better sign McNabb to back him up, thats all that left out there.

Wait a second, is Jeff George still in shape?

BTW, am I missing something or is virtually everyone ignoring the elephant in the room??
Won’t this season be considered a huge failure for Manning if he does not lead the Broncos to at least the AFC championship game—you know, since Tebow (whom most NFL pundits rightly consider an inferior QB talent) led the Broncos to the divisional round of the playoffs last year?

As a Chiefs fan I must admit it pains me a little to acknowledge that 85% or 90% of Peyton Manning will usually be better than 100% of any other QB not named Brady or Brees.

It’s been 20 months since he threw a pass in a real game. His QB rating has been in a steady decline since 2004. He is 36 years old. He has the mobility of a tortoise. Good luck with that.

Peyton Manning is on a rapid decline.

The sign of a declining quarterback is his inability to connect on the long pass.

Unfortunately, this bombastic egomaniac – who is a hit away from oblivion – bamboozled the Broncos into paying him a ton of money.

Poor Bronco’s fans.

I don’t think manning can throw deep anymore. He started losing it two years ago.

guessed Manning was 85 to 90 percent healthy….which is 99.9 percent better than 99.9 percent of the remaining QB’s in the league

I was wondering if they were letting him toss it deep yet. All I heard were rave reviews about how great he looked in camp on ESPN this weekend. But all the vids were of him throwing check downs to RBs 5 yards away.

Of course Denver is thrilled. They went from Tebow to Manning. Like going from a Ford Maverick to a BMW. Who cares if he lost a little on the deep ball. Its still going to be a big improvement…

Peyton Manning is suffering from the dreaded Mattryanitis.

maybe they should trade for tebow. remember the story about half of the state preferring hom to manning?

Well, too bad for Manning but with exception to Rivers the AFC west is full of soft arms. It will be about defense, and that’s where the Chiefs and Raiders have the better chance.

John Fox should be fine with this. After Delhomme had Tommy John surgery, his deep ball was non-existent. Just gotta bolster that run game and lean on the Tight Ends

Manning’s arm strength was a question mark in 2010 before the injury. This isn’t Joe Montana or QBs who played in balanced offenses well into their late 30′s.

This is a Dan Marino type QB, Donavan McNabb. There’s a lot of mileage on that arm. When they approach their mid 30′s, they’re done.

Also, as a person who you know, was actually there to watch and not try to make a story of it, Peyton has thrown deep balls.

No, he hasn’t thrown many, but it’s early and camp and they’ve all been completions.

“But most of those balls have been short and intermediate, with only a handful of them long.”

Sounds like what 31 other starting QBs do.

A bigger question is how he will handle being sacked. There’s no way he will have the chemistry and the system mastery that he displayed in Indy. While he is working out the kinks, he is going to get hammered – a lot.

Well, as a fan of 1 of the other 31 teams….any bad news regarding Manning, is good news for us.

Makes you appreciate the fact that Favre was still throwing those 70 yard bombs even on his last game… say what you want about the short bomb he sent via his final texts.. #onlyhuman

He lost his deep ball before he got injured, luckily he doesn’t have to throw deep all game to win games this season cuz he’s Peyton Manning. He will find a way to win.
