Peyton “looked real good” throwing to new Broncos teammates
Peyton “looked real good” throwing to new Broncos teammates
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 26, 2012, 3:53 PM EDT As he settles in with the Broncos, Peyton Manning is learning the rules of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, including that he can work out with teammates, but only away from the team’s facilities and outside the watchful eyes of the coaches. And that’s exactly what Manning did today. Lindsay H. Jones of the Denver Post reports that Manning took snaps from center J.D. Walton and threw passes to wide receiver Eric Decker and tight end Julius Thomas during a session at a Denver-area high school, and afterward Decker said he liked what he saw. “He looked real good, though he probably won’t admit that he’s feeling good or feeling back to the way he wants to be,” Decker said. Decker said Manning is trying to get comfortable with his new teammates now, and that the players who were on the roster last year are talking to him about the offensive concepts the Broncos employed — even though the offense will be quite a bit different with Manning running it in 2012. “Just some drill work, talking through stuff, so he gets familiar with the verbage and the calls,” Decker said. “The biggest thing is he wanted to get a feel for us, and a feel for being under center.” The Denver Post published 23 photos from today’s session. To the extent that you can tell anything from a still photo of a guy throwing a pass in sweats and a T-shirt, Manning looks pretty much like he has always looked. -------------------------------------------- He looks pretty thin to me...not that I've looked at any comparison pictures. |

It reminds me of that Jim Zorn pic from several months back. Old man arms.

Was he really suffering from arm cancer last year?

He does look pretty out of shape, but my guess is he'll still play better than Cassel this year.

It only took 2 years for my arms to show deterioration after the surgery I had on my neck. It was at the same level as Mannings

I was driving my daughter and two nephews back to SLC from Denver this past weekend and with the boys being big Bronco fans and my daughter and I being Chiefs fans, we were having a bit of fun back and forth with the Manning acquisition.
Anyway, we got to the point where my ten year old daughter says to her cousin: "You know Tamba Hali?" and the boy responds: "Peyton Manning is going to get smoked." |

His arms look a little atrophied. I'm sure he will be fine though.
