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.

I know he's never really looked like an NFL player (ala Montana) but even still I thought he looked a bit frail.

Going to be a long couple of years boys.

Just hope time catches up with him sooner vs later. That's about all we have.

LET'S SEE HOW HE LOOKS WHEN JUSTIN HOUSTON IS SHITTING DOWN THE HOLE WHERE HIS NECK USED TO BE

One good hit and that fool is done

Someone needs to do a "caption this" with photo 16.

Dude time has already caught up with him and broke his freaking neck.

Because I am sure they are going to say he looks awful :rolleyes:

Besides Decker is the one saying he looked good, of course he would say that. He would say that if I was throwing him passes considering what he had last year.

I'm captioning every one of them as "Peyton Manning joins a Satanic cult and damages the integrity of the game of football."

He looks... old.

Cassel would look great throwing the ball following Tim Tebow.

isn't knowmo from west virginia (aka, wv)? mult?

Hopefully he will look real good standing on the sidelines after he gets knocked out for the year.

I resent that remark.....but yes he is from WV. Not very close to me though.

He looks horrible in that picture.

You can tell his neck is really bothering him.

Like

Pioli should hire an icecream truck with a Tokyo Rose to follow him around giving him verbal reinforcement about what he already knows.

Pey ton...you awm hurt weally weally bad. you hab no grip in youw hand.

Timmy fell down the well?

Who cares?

He hasn't had a good game against this team since the beginning of GW Bush's second-term.

I know he's only 36.....but damn he looks old in that picture.

Holy crap he looks like someone's grandpa

For my 25,000th post

The eyeglass chain has got to be chaffing his neck raw in film study
but Elway sees he gets plenty of ruf age

:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

Can't read some of the text tho.

LMAO

Peyton looks exactly like he did 5 years ago

You're right. His face looks like it hasn't aged a day. Too bad his body looks like it was drug under a car for 2 miles.

LOL

Like they would ever report,"Peyton threw to his teamates today and looked horrible!"

Lassie Manning won't save the farm
but he won't rub his butt on the carpet either

Welcher.

Are you kidding? He looks like a shriveled up old man.

Those are some seriously flabby arms he's got going there.

Is he wearing a diaper?

"Hey grandpa! Tell us again about how you played in the NFL!"

Look at those arms! Look at them! Yeeeeeaaash!

It's from the presidential collection

Hmmm....

Who doesn't look good throwing in shorts?? ROFL

Holy shit. He does look gaunt and that's not even trolling. WOW.

Pretty ****ing blatant if you ask me. At least he was acting like he was pretending before. Oh well. Integrity. Not everyone has it.

Mr. Flopnuts, as the people's mod, I formally request that you permaban the welcher. After all, this isn't the first time he has welched.

Elway Motors is selling the Denver fanbase a Lemon.

He was never a huge guy, but he looks really skinny in those photos. Look how small his arms are. Makes you wonder how far from game shape he is.

I haven't seen a sunken chest like that since the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie

:hmmm: Tis a good article title

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

Yep, EXACTLY the same/SlowMo

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.

Indeed.

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

/Captain obvious

Peyton Manning

:clap:

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

I considered it. However, we'be never banned welchers. We do however encourage the member base to cyber beat them repeatedly.

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.

:whackit:

Understatement of the decade!!

Just a question for some of the Bronco fans here,



What if the guy ends up being done? Say he gets injured again, or just is another guy at this point. What is the feeling gonna be then?


Say this was all about getting rid of Tebow. I mean I'm sure most of you guys will admit that this was the only way for that to happen.

Couple of games more like. He won't stay healthy the whole season. In the illustrious words of Mike Tyson "Everybody has a plan before they get hit"

He will get hit and his 4 neck surgeries will all hurt at once.

Can't win if you don't play.

That skin coloration on his arms doesn't look good. I think that's AIDS.

I'm not trying to be an ass, just wondering.



I know it was huge hype to get him and a great get, but there are some question marks health wise.

I didn't think you were being an ass. Your question is legitimate and is something everyone who follows football is waiting to find out. I was in favor of trying to move up and draft a QBOTF rather than going after Manning but this is the girl we have so I might as well dance with her.

You asked what Denver fans would think if Manning is PUP, my answer meant I will still believe the move to get him was the right move because you can't win super bowls if you don't make moves to get the right players. Along with that comes a certain amount of risk but I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.

If he gets put on IR the Bronco fans will be screaming for Elway's head on a platter.

oh, they'll find a way to draft a QB. I ****ing hate elway, but he's not scared to shoot the moon to get a QB. on the other hand, scott ****ing pioli is scared of his shadow when it comes to QBs--he doesn't give a **** about the QB position.

No wonder his neck hurts, it has to hold that giant ****ing head up all day every day

It's like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts

Manning will probably go full gimp this season and be forced to retire before Week 6. We'll celebrate, but the Broncos will draft in the top spot next offseason and take Tyler Bray.

We'll win the division at 9-7 and lose in the first round. Next year we'll draft a 5-tech to replace Dorsey.

It's the ciiiiiiircle of liiiiiife

Ask Vailpass he'd know for sure. He's kinda an expert on the subject.

That hairline has added a full digit, fivehead.

pretty goddamned much. I ****ing hate this team sometimes.

If I didn't know that was Manning I would be laughing my ass off. He has quite a while to get into shape but holy shit he looks bad.

Has he been drinking a 12 pack a night as part of his rehab?

By God ,he has all the symptoms of cerebral palsy. And to think he swindled $20mill a year out of those idiots!

Don't worry, all you have to do is shut your eyes and take it up the butt twice a year from the Donks. This time an old man will be behind ya.

Havent seen a sunken chest like that since Steven Hawking took off his shirt.
