I doubt the second one because his arm seemed to lose some serious velocity in the last few games of the season, especially in the playoffs. I don't see how that improves, nor do I think that injury lets him throw the ball with the velocity he once did, and to be honest, he never had an overpowering arm or threw a super tight spiral.

I agree that velocity and perfect spirals have never been part of his success, so I'm not really sure why the possibility of losing some of those aspects would mean he couldn't be dominant again. Obviously training camp reports should be taken with a grain of salt, but apparently Manning looks like he's in better shape and is throwing better than he was last year at this point. |

A Denver fan is hoping for the latter, and it's not an unreasonable hope. I just know that, generally, once someone loses throwing velocity it doesn't come back.

He put them on last offseason and never took them off.

Here's how I see Denver doing. Ravens - W @ Giants - L Raiders - W Eagles - W @ Cowboys - W Jaguars - W @ Colts - W Redskins - W @ Chargers - L Chiefs - W @ Patriots - L @ Chiefs - W Titans - W Chargers - W @ Texans - L @ Raiders - W 12-4, and probably a first round bye.
