If he goes to San Fran, that team is loaded from top to bottom and anything less than a Super Bowl would place the blame squarely on his shoulders.

Here he can make mistakes and come up short, and just blame the deficiencies of the team when he loses big games… just like he did in Indy.

Watching Peyton fail is really too sweet ;)

GO COLTS!

(sp?) eye roll, this is spiraling completely out of control. Jaws flips opinions faster than a rotations in a spy roll. I think Peyton’s throws are just as sweet as ever, like, ahs.. pie roll, or macaroni spirals. But after those neck surgeries, it’s safe to say linebackers won’t have to be practicing the QB spy role when prepping for Denver! Spiral.

He will never be the player he once was, and anyone who thought that he could magically make it 2006 again was fooling themselves. You’ll see flashes of the old Peyton, of course, but injuries and Father Time catch up to every NFL player eventually.

But we told you so! Denver epic fail in paying Peyton so much, after he was out for so long, with so many questions. Peyton was all smoke and mirrors in the off-season, you could have seen all was not right. But Peyton fever makes people open up their wallets without thinking.

==========
Isn’t that better than what their last qb did in two years?

I’m still not sure why he decided to come back to this game. Being married with children has really shown his short sightedness of what should really be the priority in his life. I have 2 blown out discs in my C5, and C6 with the C7 bulging. When I decided to play something as simple as flag football with this condition, it was probably not the best decision. Even a little bump at the line puts a stinger down your arms, so you can only imagine what he feels when he is hit by a 300 pound plus lineman. The more hits he takes, the more ineffective he will become. The strength will not come back fully, nor will his full sense of balance. As I said before he made this decision to come back, he should retire and spend the rest of his quality life with what is more important than football and stats, and that’s his family.

No idea if any of those balls had any spin on them but either way the ball has to hit the receiver in the hands and he could not do it consistantly……..

Give Peyton another 2-3 weeks and you’ll never even notice that he even had surgery. Also, since when has anyone ever worried so much about a spiral? Yes, a tight spiral is nice, but it is not needed to win games (see:Tim Tebow) in this league.

Really?? Truth be told with the way an obviously older and weaker Manning the broncos should have stuck with tebow!!! Not taking anything away from Peyton but he isnt leading that team anywhere other then home to watch the playoffs from their couches!!! So so glad my home town hawks got “dissed” by Manning.. Seems like one franchise is on the up and comming list and the other is facing a future with OSWEILER!!! YUK!!!

And Tebow has 1/2 of all their playoff wins since Elway’s last Super Bowl.

And the arm strength, while not all the way back, is not as bad as some (i.e Jason Whitlock) would have you believe. Peyton completed numerous passes WAY down the field on Sunday, including 3 completions that were OVER 35 yards in the air!

So the arm strength is fine and will only get better. Getting a tight spin on the ball is something #18 has always struggled with. That has more to do with hand size and (most importantly) wrist snap than it has to do with arm stength though. Arm strength is irrelevant in regards to snapping the wrist. The good news is that arm & wrist snap issues are definately things that would show up in the form of rust. As he continues to rehab, his arm will get looser and he will get the snap factor back on the ball.

So he will get better and better at snapping the ball out as the season progresses. The arm strength will probably improve a bit as well, but it’s more than strong enough right now. All told, Peyton will be back to playing MVP caliber football again sometime around mid season.

Now, if only he can only get his freaking receivers to catch the damn ball!!!!

Can’t expect perfection in game 3 after a year off.

- Saw a slo-mo of one of Eli’s long balls on Thursday night. It wobbled too. Maybe it’s a Manning thing.

- Bronco’s lost to two of the best teams in the league, and despite multiple things going wrong, like picks and drops, were in both games at the end.

Don’t panic.
