Here ya go... Jun 12, 2012 Peyton Manning still not 100%, but checkup encouraging Comments 9 By Nate Davis, USA TODAY Updated 2012-06-12 8:49 PM Peyton Manning may not have the liveliest arm on his team, but he is physically reverting to the form that made him the NFL's only four-time MVP. It was clear during the Denver Broncos' minicamp today that Manning's velocity hasn't quite returned after multiple neck surgeries cost him all of the 2011 season, but he does look sharp and accurate with intermediate throws.Broncos QB Peyton Manning can't wait to start the season after missing all of 2011. CAPTIONBy Ron Chenoy, US Presswire And doctors continue to stay upbeat about his long-term prognosis. "I still have a lot of work to do,'' Manning told USA TODAY Sports' Jim Corbett on Tuesday, one day after he'd undergone his latest checkup with the team's physicians. "I'm so glad to be back on the field practicing. ... Last season being injured was new for me. I thought I had a good attitude about it and tried to handle it the best I could. Certainly, it feels good to be back out on the field. "I continue to rehab. I have work to do and progress that I still need to make.'' Intensively rehabilitating the nerve damage in the triceps of his throwing arm continues to be a focal point. Manning may never be able to match passes popping off the rifle arm of rookie QB Brock Osweiler, but he did groove a nice 35-yard touchdown to WR Demaryius Thomas in today's practice, beating Pro Bowl CB Champ Bailey in the process. "Peyton anticipated where Demaryius was going to be and saw the play the whole way," Bailey said. "When (executive vice president of football operations) John Elway got Peyton to come here, it made my year, made my career. I've never played with a guy like this." Still, Manning thirsts to get more out of himself physically. "I can't emphasize enough that I still have rehab to do," he said. "That's still part of the process." Manning is grateful to have made as many strides as he has after being forced to miss his final year with the Indianapolis Colts while sitting out the first NFL games of his career. "I still enjoy playing," said Manning, who's entering his 15th season. "I went through the physical process through free agency checking with the medical people and coaches, checking, 'Should I continue to play?' Had they said 'No' that would have been a pretty easy answer. "But all of them said I was good to play and should play. I've always had a great passion for the game and I still enjoy playing. I think you play the game because I love it. ... Certainly when it's time to stop playing, I'll know that. And I'll stop at the right time.'' But that isn't now. Manning is juggling his rehab, internalizing a new playbook and familiarizing himself with new teammates. Never one to shy away from a challenge, he seems to be embracing the obstacles after enjoying so much continuity with the Colts. And when Denver's regular-season opener rolls around around Sept. 9, Manning expects to be wholly focused on picking apart the Pittsburgh Steelers, not worrying about the fused vertebrae in his neck. "I don't worry about it," Manning says of the next hit he absorbs. "It hasn't even crossed my mind. "I've never taken it for granted being able to play. Then, sitting out last year, I never felt sorry for myself because I had 20 years of unbelievable health going up to that point. ... Last year I tried to handle it with a good attitude. But it's nice to be back on the field with a different team, different teammates, it's exciting to do that.'' But it was also a bit exciting to see a familiar face Tuesday when Manning's longtime offensive coordinator in Indianapolis, Tom Moore (who coached alongside Denver head coach John Fox on the Steelers staff in 1989), attended practice. "I think the world of him," Manning said of Moore. "He's enjoying seeing (former Colts) Brandon Stokley and Jacob Tamme, guys he used to coach. It was a great gesture by coach Fox (to invite Moore). "I know a lot of people are enjoying seeing him.'' http://content.usatoday.com/communit...-encouraging/1

Like I said, if he gets hurt it most likely will have nothing to do with his neck and will be some fluke knee injury.

He said back in March that he could have played in a game the day after he signed in Denver. He has been cleared to play. He can take a hit.

The thing is, if we play the "cherry pick games and extrapolate through a season" game with Von, we're talking about him being DPOY instead of DROY.

You should dig into who dropped into coverage more.

The point is, he isn't 100%, so saying he can take a hit is pure speculation.

He already did that last season. The Chargers and Jets games come to mind.

You donkey homers are hellbent on trolling your garbage on a Chiefs BB.

How? He didnt have a FF in either game. He had 2.5 sacks in both games, combined.

Search. I don't care.
Miller, the 2nd overall pick, is a little better than Houston, the 70th overall pick. Suck it.
