What I like even more is having a front office that makes a move to get a manning while drafting for a QBOTF at the same time. If Osweiller is that QB great, if he's not I know we'll go until we get one sooner rather than later. Wouldn't trade places with anyone and sure as hell not anyone in the West.

How much more do you think he's going to improve in the next 3 weeks?

I cant see him arm strength getting that much better in only 3 weeks.

Arm strength is fine, not worried about that.

From the look of that sideline pass, you should be.

You win. Broncos are going 19-0 this year, no long face at the end of the year for Manning.

That actually is a myth. 12 games? 8 in Indy + 1 in Houston=9

Well there were at least 9 for certain every year, but I'm sure that most years there were more.

LOL at you guys formulating strong negative opinions after 10 snaps by Manning. The only thing you can possibly take away from Manning's performance is that he isn't going to play scared. He was the same patient, anticipatory Peyton Manning we are used to seeing. On the out route he completed to Decker he said that Decker was the 5th option on the play. He was cool and calm in the pocket and that bodes well for the future.

Especially under that intense pass rush he faced.

He wasn't hearing footsteps and trying to get rid of the ball too quickly like Caleb Hanie was. I could tell a MASSIVE difference in pocket awareness between Manning and Caleb Hanie. Peyton wasn't playing scared.

His arm is way noodlier than it has ever been.

Again, he needs lots and lots of snaps to get it back up to full strength. That will come. But not immediately.

In the meantime, what did I tell you about his offense awhile ago? It will take time to get into a groove. Delirium Tremens clearly didn't know WTF was going on. "But he's doing so well in offseason practices!" you said.

Game. Action. Changes everything.

Ball appeared to be hanging in the air... It was accurate but so slow... Expect corners to be able to make up lost ground easily.

Yeah I actually can say that Denver isn't where I thought they were when it comes to being in sync with each other. Manning couldn't change the play at the LOS as he has in years past. That will come though. And once Manning can do his usual presnap antics and everyone is on the same page, Manning will look like the Manning of old.
