How many brothers played quarterback on the same day? I'm pretty sure anything Peyton and Eli do on the same day is a record in the brother duo sense.

True. And in all fairness, a ton of picks from Eli is fairly common. Just made it newsworthy because Peyton also had two.

Peyton looks really off. Not sure if something is going on with his arm or hand but his throws looked really awful yesterday. He floated so many passes and never pushed the ball down the field. 

 

 

Think maybe at age 38 his arm is in big decline ? Happens all the time.

It's not every throw... if he sets up, gets his lower body into it, and really drives it, he's OK. But when he's got to unload it fast and can only get his arm into it, the results aren't as good. They were in a dome yesterday so nothing weather-related there. 

 

I'm not trolling here when I say he's really got to be careful with his receivers. His lack of arm strength is starting to make being a Denver receiver a lot more hazardous of a job than it should be.

It's not trolling. IMO , if he was playing on an average team with average receivers , the talk would be whether or not he was returning in 2015. It is what it is and fact is he has little arm strength left. He is super smart but sooner or later age is the determining factor. And yes , I still remember those routes Collie used to run... ughh

His arm is not the same anymore. Those wobbly passes show it, when he's under pressure he's really off.

 

Age happens. Not every QB is going to be like Favre and complete perfect bombs at 40 years old.

 

 

All 3 of the so called "elite" QB's have this problem. Brady and Brees rely on short passes too. Brady threw deep last night and got picked off. When Brees goes deep, he over throws everyone or throws an INT to a triple covered Graham.

      Did you miss Buckner's new extension? The one with the large signing bonus and void years?

      I like Latu, but don't you think there's a significant number of teams that are scared off by his medical? And then a couple more who will downgrade him because of his age?

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      yeah pretty much what I figured.  If they are going to start mixing up coverages and running more man coverage, then sure grab a CB in the first.  If they're going to continue being a mostly zone team regardless, then no, no round 1 CB.

      The mission is to build something that has us competing with the best of the best. This is a season for AR to get tuned up.  Who do you think will be the right guys on our roster now to take us to an AFC Championship game?  It's not Smith, Fries, and we likely can't get there with more than 2-3 of our current back seven.  I would offer Buckner to the Bears as part of a trade for 9. Eberflus wants to have a great D so maybe he bites.  Then hopefully trade back 2-3 spots for a good pick.  I'd love to come out of the draft with Latham and the Byron Murphy II. And come out of the draft with RG Bebe.

      I think he's a little overrated as a corner prospect. Doesn't mean I don't like him, I do. But I was hearing about how incredibly athletic he is, people were talking about him like he was a lockdown defender, then I watch him for a couple games and I don't see that. So at first I was pretty down on him. Then I went back and watched him with my expectations much lower, and I see what he has to offer.   He's definitely athletic, but not the standout, premier athlete people were making him out to be at first. Watching his high school basketball videos helped me contextualize his athleticism, there's plenty of burst there. He has some struggles flipping his hips and staying connected late in the down. He's feisty and physical, plays the run with enthusiasm, tackles well, and he has explosiveness. He's better in shorter areas when he doesn't have to try to keep up with a receiver with elite speed. I know he ran 4.43, but it wasn't a pro day, it was a private workout. I discount timed speeds at pro days, and definitely at private workouts. To me, he's closer to 4.5 than 4.4, and that's what I expected when watching him play.   To me, he's a safety/nickel prospect, not a boundary corner. And if he were looked at as a boundary corner, I think his arm length would probably disqualify him for the Colts, at least in the first round. And I think the Colts already view corner as a Day 2 position. He's said all the right things about playing multiple positions. And while I don't know how the new rules will affect kickoffs, I think it makes sense to have good options at returner, so that helps his stock as well. But I think the second round is the right range for him. If we drafted him, I think we still need a boost on the outside.
