Thought we should have one of these for the pre-season.

So far between the NFLN and ESPN I have heard...

He hasn't thrown a ball in a year
His line might have issues because he is teaching them
The WR ran the wrong route on his overthrow

Sure he is and because he's a Broncos the Broncos are getting the exposure. But here's the link you are missing because you're not too bright: If Manning was not a Bronco, how much coverage does this team get?

Tebow is now a Jet and of course the Jets are getting way too much press. However, thats for 2 reasons--1. Tebow and 2. It's the NY JETS and they are in a huge media market.

whatever. You act like the Broncos are media darlings when in fact they get little to no respect by the national media. I'll give you one huge example that backs this up--only 3 Broncos players are in the HoF. That right there shows the huge lack of respect this franchise gets.

As for Manning looking rusty, what do you expect? Seriously, you should be way more worried about your boy Palmer.

They are media darlings. Have been for years. Even when they SUCK, they are all over the highlights. They have a differnt set of rules they follow.

As for the Hall - EVERY team has those who "should" be in. I suspect in the years to come - the Cheating Donx will get thier fair share in...

That's his deal.

Tebow put a big spot light on the team but it was more about Tebow than the team. Take Tebow away from the Broncos last year and they don't get 1/3 of the media coverage.

With Manning and Rivers in this division, it's not gonna be easy plus I don't think we've ever beaten Peyton Manning. Denver has to be excited right now.

Chiefs beat Peyton in 04.

I would be a bit worried.

Did you see the sideline pass?

Whatever - they sucked and were still all over the media. You can't take any player away from anything. He was part of thw team that got a TON of coverage. You need to simply change your position because that's something that can be done.

It's no surprise that the offense would be tailored to fit Manning....but it looks like they xeroxed the Colts playbook.

Chiefs fan starting a QB thread. Gotta' love it.

We know shit QBs when we see them.

Manning has been taking shit injections. There's a difference in his game.

Hey, did you guys see Osweiler?

Did he throw checkdowns like a reerun?

Whatever makes you feel better about yet another shit season for your team.

**RealSNR** · 08-10-2012, 12:05 PM

Dude, I think it's whatever makes YOU feel better about Manning.

I hope your expectations have been tailored for the first half of the season. Manning will be pretty shaky, as will that offense. It's going to take quite a bit of time to get that unit to sync up.

I have no doubt Manning will get his strength back and some day make it work. But it ain't happening Game 1.

I just want to protect your feelings, that's all.

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.
