What did we learn from the Broncos’ beatdown of Baltimore in the season opener? That Peyton Manning is as phenomenal as ever, and that Denver is scary good

DENVER—Long after the East Coast went to bed Thursday night, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning flipped a short throw to his left to Demaryius Thomas, and Thomas sprinted up the left seam 78 yards for the touchdown, leaving six Baltimore Ravens flailing at him. That was it: the seventh touchdown pass on a historic night—another historic night for Manning; how many more of these does a man with four scars on his neck have left?

Seven touchdown passes. The most in his 16-year career, and the most in an NFL game since the AFL-NFL merger. “You’re just sitting there like, ‘That was seven?’ Because he goes so nonchalantly about it,’’ said a man seeing it up close for the first time, Wes Welker. To celebrate, Manning went to the Denver sideline, took a few way-to-gos from happy teammates, then found offensive coordinator Adam Gase next to the Broncos’ bench area.

The pictures. Peyton Manning wanted to see the pictures—what the Baltimore defense had shown on the short series, how his line had blocked it, and what had made the hole for Thomas so big so fast. It was 49-27 very late in the fourth quarter, and Peyton Manning wanted to see the pictures.

When the Broncos dove into the Peyton Manning free agency sweepstakes 18 months ago, could they have really known what they were getting? No one knew how good he’d be, what his physical limitations might be after his long recovery from a series of neck surgeries. But it’s safe to say, now, that the Broncos got all of Peyton Manning. They didn’t get any cheap, try-his-best-in-the-twilight version of a faded star. They got the guy who would make Demaryius Thomas better and who would bond with Welker over 11:30 p.m. text messages during a mini-camp that Manning had invented at Duke last March and who would stay after practice to make sure rookie running back Montee Ball knew the keys to blitz pickup. They got the full Manning.

That, in a sloppy but compelling opener to the NFL’s 2013 season, was driven home over and over as Manning dissected the Super Bowl champions.
This week, someone asked a big football fan, singer John Legend, whom he most admired in the NFL. “Oh, it’s Peyton,’’ Legend said. “No question. I love people who are so passionate about quality, so focused on doing great things every day. There’s something to admire about that.”

Rod Smith watched Manning drive the Broncos to their sixth touchdown early in the fourth quarter. “What I see,’’ he said, “is he’s more confident in his arm. When you’re confident in your arm, you’re more sure of yourself and the throws you can make. And we’ve needed a quarterback who could lead the team. We’ve had no leadership there over the past five years. The beauty of a quarterback who everyone looks up to is he not only leads your offense, he leads your entire team. That’s Peyton right now.”

Smith’s on to something. I remember the weak throw Manning made in overtime of the playoff loss to the Ravens—rolling right, across his body, for Brandon Stokley, a soft pillow of a throw intercepted by Corey Graham. The long 2012 season took its toll (including that game, which ended in minus-six wind chill), and Manning was spent. I still don’t think his arm’s what it was—Tony Dungy agrees—but you saw it last night: The arm’s plenty good to dominate any team in football.

“Peyton never doubted he’d be back to playing at a high level,” Dungy said after the game. “I remember asking him, ‘Are you sure you want to keep playing?’ He said, ‘They have assured me I’m going to be fine.’ I thought the second year with all these guys, Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas and now with Welker, he’d be better. He understands where the weaknesses of the defense are. I still don’t think he’s throwing the ball like he did five years ago, but the accuracy is there, and the intelligence, and he’s just got a lot of weaponry.

“And with Peyton, you know him. He’s never going to be satisfied with good. He’ll never be satisfied with anything less than perfection, and that is what he is driven by. If you’re not ready for that as a teammate, if you’re not ready for that as a coach, you’re going to be stunned. Like Brandon Stokley said to Demaryius Thomas last year, ‘Either you’re going to get better, or you’re not going to get the ball.‘ ”

Manning came within a superhuman effort by Adrian Peterson of winning the MVP last year. As it was, Peterson, who rushed for 2,097 yards a year after major knee reconstruction, edged him 30-20; that’s how good Manning’s season was. This year he’s off to the best week-one start by a quarterback in history, and an unprecedented fifth MVP (he shared the award with Steve McNair in 2003) is certainly possible. But that’s not what Manning wants. He knows that greatness at his position is judged by Super Bowls won, not MVP awards. And he’s got one Super Bowl ring. In his world, and in the world that judges all-time greatness, he can’t retire with one and be the best ever.

But that’s for another month—February, not September. For now, enjoy one of the best players any of us has seen in any sport. Enjoy the quirks, and the demands, and his drive to be perfect. There’s something great, as John Legend says, about watching someone strive to be perfect the way Manning does.

Ten Lessons from Broncos 49, Ravens 27:

2. Denver’s not overrated. Second-biggest stat of the night for the Broncos: the 2.5 sacks for Shaun Phillips, seen as a declining player when Denver signed him in free-agency. Chris Harris moved from slot corner to the outside to replace the injured Champ Bailey and had a good night of coverage and a spectacular diving interception. And Manny Ramirez, playing center for the first time in his career (and snapping to the most exacting quarterback alive) didn’t have an obvious gaffe all night. Said Phillips of the questions surrounding him in the preseason: “I took it personal that everyone was like, ‘Oh what are we going to do about the pass rush?’ I’ve had like 70 sacks in my career. What am I, some bum?”

7. As if Manning needed it, he found another weapon: tight end Julius Thomas. The former Portland State basketball forward, 6-5 and 250, is an offensive force who vaulted over Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen on the tight end depth chart. His blocking is deficient, but he made a great catch, spin and run that changed the momentum of the game in the first half. Said Manning: “He definitely will make teams have a conversation, and that is what you want. You want guys that make teams have a discussion and say, ‘How are we going to handle this guy?’ ‘’

Do you feel good about this, Knowmo? Agreeing to ban yourself for a year, then embarrassingly cutting it short after 3 months, all taken immediately after your team lost the playoff game. The time you spent was the easiest, most convenient, and most boring part of the NFL offseason.

Then you couldn't ****ing resist and came back. And you believe what you did was just fine.

This could be the 90s and you could be a Bulls fan. I don't give a ****ing shit. You're a dishonorable dickless pile of rancid turds who should have never been born.

Spam your fap materials on a donkey board, child ****er.

[MMXcalibur]

This isn't a Broncos board, you twat.

[TEX]

Denver just caught Baltimore at the right time. It's not only who you play but WHERE and WHEN. A couple of plays really changed the game. Denver is NOT as good as they looked and Baltimore is NOT as bad as they looked.

[BigMeatballDave]

He's turned this into his own cumdumping thread. Time to close it.

I agreed to stay away until the draft. That was my offer.

Do you know how making bets work? That offer was rejected by PGM. Which means it's OFF THE TABLE.

Did you or did you not agree to his terms of the bet, even if you were "busy" at the time?

No he spun the bet in his favor so he could come back during the draft and I would be gone until next year.

Did you agree to those terms?

Did you say, "That's really unfair. I should just walk away from this asshole."

Or did you say, "That's really unfair, but I got all these people in my house. Uhh... oh if it will shut him up, then it's a deal."
