That's a lot of cheese to pay to watch the Broncos lose.

Oh well, it's good to see glimpses that the economy hasn't completely gone down the drain.

His arm looks Penningtonesque dude.

He has?? These guys can fist themselves with thier shit evaluations.

LMAO

I'm telling you, you guys are seeing what you want to see and not what is actually happening. Manning is looking good and he still can put zip on the ball when he needs to. Watch the final drive of the first half... Manning threw a couple DARTS in that drive and even had nice throw across his body.

I saw him throw a Huardesque duck that was picked off and a few decent mid range throws. All I'm saying is this is NOT the same arm he had before he got hurt. No ****ing way.

Since when have your evaluations ever been measured in reality?

8 yard darts FTW!!!!!!! ROFL

Wonder where he's getting this info from??


Matt Cassel
18/24 (75%)
209 yds
1 TD 0 INT
QB Rating 114.8


Peyton Manning
20/30 (67%)
221 yds
0 TD 3 INT
QB Rating 48.7

The odds are 14-1 with 32 teams in the NFL?

Sounds about right.

:spock:

Probably from nfl.com. Cassel needed 4 more pass attempts to qualify.

qualify for what?

CoMo giving KnowMo a little smack down is ****ing priceless.

They have a criteria that you must reach in order to show up on their stats page.

After 2 weeks of preseason play, Peyton Manning leads the entire league in interceptions.

At the same time, he is dead last in touchdown passes.

Tamme dropped one in the endzone and Peyton had two balls deflected and picked off in the redzone. Kinda flukey if you ask me.

The offense is moving the chains at will though. I can't remember the last time Denver actually tried to convert on 3rd and 17, normally we would run a draw or some BS screen.... Not with Manning, with Manning we go for it and get the first down.

You need 4 more brain cells to qualify for a functioning human being.

Didnt see that one coming, did ya?

-takes a bow-

I've never really become too worked up over preseason action... sure, I'd like to see more consistency, but considering what I fought through and watched in 2011. This is nothing - can't wait for the regular season. This team had bigger issues than QB last year, and they've had a lot of change with a hell of a schedule... nothing is a given at this point. We'll see how they do.

Throwing a piss poor pass well behind a reciever isn't flukey at all.

its a sad day in dungver .. all the daisies weep .....

Could be an exciting race to see who throws more picks Palmer or Peyton?

Dart!!! Got a gif of the overthrown duck from game 2?

To be honest he has made one over thrown bad ball. Sure he has 3 INT's but he is completing 70 percent of his passes and moving the ball up and down the field. I don't care about preseason stats but Donkeys are going to be a threat with this guy at the helm. Look how many different recievers caught passes in the Seattle game. He hit TE's, WR's, RB's and got the ball out quick. If you are judging him off his stats your going to be upset when you actually watch him play.

The new catch-all GIF response to Knowmo.

I'd a whole lot rather have Denver's QB situation than KC's.
Who wouldn't?

I wouldn't. Manning will be Ok, but once the bullets fly and blitzes come etc, I think he'll be just that, OK. So, broncos will have a good QB that is 37years old and on the decline, with no solid backup. chiefs will have a 30 year old OK qb and a solid backup. It's almost a wash if you ask me, with the broncos having to watch Mannings skills fall off over the next few years, while Cassel may only get better with the same OC for the first time ever.

LMAO

C'mon, anyone who says they wouldn't trade QB situations with Denver is ****ing delusional.

Manning's head would have to be ripped off his body for me not to want him instead of Cassel and Hanne has accomplished more than Quinn in the NFL.

I see a pattern developing here. That pattern is lack of arm strength + ball behind intended wr's.

20 mill. a year for Damon Huard.

What was Cassel's contract again?

Never said Cassel is something he isn't.

I'm curious what you think of Manning's arm strength. Lesser, same, or better. Looking for an honest opinion.

Roughly $10 million/year. The difference is you guys love Manning and we hate Cassel.

I was told by Knowmo that Manning's contract includes thousands of little opt-out clauses for you guys if Manning really does wind up being Damon Huard. We'll see how much you guys get back if Nearly Headless Peyton isn't what you thought he was.

honestly when the reg season roles around....i believe he will be ready to play.

haven't watched any of his preseasons games thus far....but he's the best QB of the last decade and is a gamer, I would never count him out.

ROFL Well, there you go. Watch these games and watch clips of his before the surgery. There is a pretty substantial difference.

Nice 10 yard duck.

I half expected to see Tony G. jumping out of the air to catch the overthrown duck of a pick. Downfield Big Game!!!

IMHO Everything except his work ethic and field management looks like he's been on an 18 month lay off. Strength, timing, none of it is 100%. Live game action and continued work outs are the only things that can bring that closer to where he was before; how close he ever gets remains to be seen.

I'll divide the season up into thirds (assuming he makes it a season. Who knows?). The first 5 games are getting back into it, knocking the rust off, building strength, getting used to new WRs and Offense, testing out the neck and body to see if he can take the constant beating of the NFL.

I'll look at the next five games to see how he improves over the first five. I'll look at the last 6 games to see where he stands. At this point this season is all speculation, that's why his contract is written the way it is.

I'm watching Denver's backup QB situation just as closely, if Osweiller isn't it I want to see us draft or trade for a QB next year.

No the difference is your all-world GM signed Cassell to a long-term deal that binds you to him regardless of suck.
I don't know how Manning will do but the Broncos signed him to the right kind of deal so we can move on quickly if he doesn't work out.

You can tell by the gif that he threw that as hard as he could with all his effort and it still didn't get there in time.

That gif is a tribute to the fact that Manning is finished and Tamme is ****ing horrible.

I love these cherry picked GIF's. Tamme should have caught that pass btw

LMAO

You only hope. To be honest I hate what Manning is going to do this year for the god damn DONKS.

You guys should offer them your insane super-awesome all-pro CB.

Oh wait. You don't have one.

But, but, but Willis McGahee, number 1 running offense, Slowshon Moren uber 3rd down back!!!!!!!

Rep for this take. I agree 100 percent. Same brilliant mind, but physically he isn't there at this time.

I'm thinking Denver really doesn't need an MJD at this point...

They don't.

It's that Incinerated Blob dude again anyway. Like he knows anything.

Yeah, he should have but he didn't because he sucks ass. Contrary to what you've been saying....

It's true. Watch the gif. You can tell he gave everything he could with that pass and it wasn't enough.

John Fox loves him some running backs. Deangelo Williams was a stud when he drafted Jonathon Stewart. Having Del Rio on the coaching staff probably doesn't hurt either.

MJD, McGahee, Hillman, Knowshon = best backfield in the league.

So let me get this straight. The Donkeys have the best QB, rbs wide recievers and D in the NFL.

They have nothing that can be considered the best, that's something.

I found this recent pic of Knomer. I thought I'd share with the community

Why?

I thought Denver was perfect?

the are, they're just trying to be perfecter/ knomer

That's not even the best backfield in the AFC West.

I do love this argument from an opposing fan like it justifies anything.

Matt Cassel's contract is irrelevant in any of this. He sucks. We know he sucks and very few of us on this board would have paid him anything.

It really has nothing to do with Manning.

Would I trade Manning for Cassel in a minute? Yes. But that's more of my feelings on how much I hate Cassel than I would want Manning right now.

When has Bob ever broken anything?

The guy sucks hard. He makes up rumors, and then pimps them forever. When they don't happen, he moves on to the next one.

You = ****ing stupid.

But but but he looks great running the no huddle.

It's a points driven league. I don't give a flying **** about his yards, so spare me that stat Knowshit.

"Haven't watched him play, but based on what he did prior to sitting out a year with an injury, with an entirely different offense and skill players, and playing most of his games outside instead of in a dome for the first time ever, I'm still going to say he's going to be fine."

He's also not the best QB of the last decade. Brady is.

Someone needs to teach The Bad Guy how to multi quote.

Howdy BG,
My comment was in response to someone criticizing Denver for giving manning a contract. The point was that any fan of a team that paid Matt Cassell anything over veteran min has no place to talk; unless you are talking to an AZ Cardinal fan.

He is hit and miss but he got a bunch of free agent signings right this year. Including Peyton Manning.

Ronnie Hillman has been compared to LeSean McCoy. He might be playing his first game on Sunday.

Incarcerated Bob ‏@incarceratedbob

So #MJD has now #CONFIRMED Broncos have reached out about his services.. LOL #IBNGoonSquad we making these #Haters look silly daily #Speakup

Between his Jaguars holdout and getting traded, I'm not ****ing touching MJD in fantasy this year. Bad shit happens to RBs who hold out into preseason.

Ricky Stanzi has been compared to Tom Brady.

#whogivesa****

Just because he was a late round pick and was drafted by Pioli.

I can't wait to see what Hillman can do. He has some amazing runs in his highlight tapes.

If the Donks get MJD it's all over.

That'll put them over the top.

The one thing people aren't talking about is Denver's OL has played pretty damn well in preseason.
