So, those of you that know Peyton's play much better than I, how do you think his play is comparing to year's past?  His velocity on his passes seems slow to me.  That and his accuracy is either way off or his receivers are in the wrong place.  

He has declined considerably.

 

More immobile than ever. And he was never mobile.

Overthrow on long passes regularly.

His accuracy on the run is nowhere near what it once was, especially past 10 yards. This is unfortunate because his o-line sucks right now and he is always flushed around.

 

If Manning has time to plant his feet he can still go long, but even then it's maybe a 30% chance of a good pass. Not even factoring defending players or the receiver dropping it. In the past you could more than double the success rate of all these passes he's been making. (And missing.)

He doesn't look right to me but he's still better than most QB's in the league. Watching him throughout his Indy career he isn't near the QB he was in Indy but still Very Good (not Great anymore but Denver's Defense is Great) and he cant be underestimated. When the Colts beat him in the Playoffs last season I was surprised, I was proud of Luck. That was a fantastic Playoff win.

Peyton is NOT washed up People.

He's a shell of his former self, but I'd still take him over all but, like, 3  QB's. (Rodgers, Brady, Luck - in that order)

 

That speaks volumes for how great he used to be. Just never had the teams to go all the way sans once. This is probably the best team he's ever had by virtue of that defense alone.

    • It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.
    • They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.
    • Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.   
    • His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.  
    • Last week,Rams home game, Sofi looked like a 49ers home game. Dallas and Vegas are that way too.
