Football Report: Pending physical, Peyton Manning intends to return to Broncos - Page 5

Well, that didn’t take long.

After the January 11 divisional-round loss to the Colts, Broncos G.M. John Elway told quarterback Peyton Manning to take several weeks before deciding whether to return. Woody Paige of the Denver Post, citing three unnamed “trustworthy” sources (not to be confused with the usual untrustworthy kind), reports that Peyton intends to come back to the team for a fourth season.

The only potential roadblock would be his annual physical examination. Manning had multiple neck surgeries before joining the team, and he’s checked every year to ensure that his neck will still be able to withstand the demands of playing professional football.

His third year with the team ended reportedly with two thigh injuries that seemed to significantly impair his ability to throw the ball.

The Broncos need a definitive answer from Manning by March 9. His $19 million base salary for 2015 becomes fully guaranteed thereafter.

Manning’s willingness to play for new coach Gary Kubiak suggests: (1) that Manning wasn’t overly upset about the departure of coach John Fox and offensive coordinator Adam Gase; (2) that Manning is comfortable with the intended offensive approach under Kubiak; and (3) that Manning isn’t holding too much of a grudge regarding the failure of Kubiak’s Houston Texans to reciprocate Manning’s interest in joining the franchise three years ago.

Very true, up until this season.

I put those 2 losses on the offense.

Going through the website that I got those stats from I found it interesting that the only teams Manning has a losing record against are...

http://www.peytonmanning18.com/eachteam.html

Green Bay 1-2
Indianapolis 1-2
Miami 6-7
New England 7-13
Seattle 2-3

The only one that surprised me was Miami.

Good.

No cheap outs for Lil' Chiefy.

If you want the division, earn the bitch.

One of the things Peyton has struggled with the most since his neck surgeries has been his grip strength. I think he'd really get a lot of benefit from using one of Tom Brady's footballs.

If he's anything like his brother, he's got his own way of getting the footballs the way he likes them.

Hamwallet · 01-22-2015, 01:40 PM

My guess is he pays them 20mil to play and they have to build a roof over the stadium...

Legally, unlike Brady? I'd agree with that.

You're not allowed to complain about another team cheating.

He'll come back and be good enough to win the AFCW; but not good enough to do anything in the playoffs again.

ModSocks · 01-22-2015, 04:21 PM

He should've deflated footballs...
