could the end be very near for manning?

... and three touchdowns on long balls that the Patriots are much less likely to give up these days. ...



I'd be curious to see stats on Manning this year, showing how often he actually threw deep. Could be that this was there all year and it flew under the radar?

this is true, but i think he picked the best team the would want him . . . and Den was the best option . . . also, as all most of the great teams play outdoors in the AFC, Peyton was bound to have to go outside anyways . . . there are really perhaps only three teams in the AFC with good home weather, SD, indy, and Hou and all three have QBs . . .

but i am glad to see that PM is in a cold weather environment as we will be able to see more games with Peyton outside in the cold in the up coming few years and will be able to get more data points on his career to the plus or to the minus. we'll have teo just sit back and see how it unfolds . . .

but he is fortunate that Denver had a great D . ..

Agreed. Denver was the most 'playoff ready' team that wanted him and had a need at the QB position. Peyton had a great year in the regular season. The outdoor/cold factor will be something to monitor as he winds down his final years.

I think the glove 'might' have affected his ability to throw the ball. I don't think he will be using that anymore. He just needs to toughen up a bit and learn to live with cold weather. He was spoiled by spending most of his career in a dome.

Great; thanks! Doesn't look to me like a whole lot of shots taken downfield. Guess we'd need to see stats for, say, Brady to compare. #nogooddeedgoesunpunished

OK, so, no big difference. Thanks! Carry on!

Really quite similar. Hope Brady isn't very near the end, too!

If Brady had Demaryius Thomas on his team, I guarantee you the numbers would look very different.
