While Lombardi's sources are telling him that Peyton still can't throw left and that he has weak velocity on this throws, other sources, such as Adam V., are telling a different story. Albiet, Lombardi's source is apparantly a reciever, and Adam V. is a kicker and doesn't catch passes.As for Irsay being pleased with how well Peyton is doing. I do not think this needs to be viewed as a contradiction. Irsay didn't say that Peyton is throwing at NFL level yet, just that he's pleased. Pleased could mean that he's seen Peyton in the weightroom, on the treadmill, making throws in the practice facility and he's pleased with what he's seen so far.

Smitto Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 every reporter is trying to get the breaking news... but what lombardi said is interesting to me, if that is actually true then there's no way peyton will actually be healthy come march.... and if it is true then why would PM's doctor say if there was a game on sunday he would tell PM to play?alot of contradictions going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWF Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 and if it is true then why would PM's doctor say if there was a game on sunday he would tell PM to play?The doctor is only speaking in terms of the structural stability of the neck and the ability to take a hit. From my understanding, the doctor cant really evaluate the nerve regeneration. Its something that will show up in his arm strength.But I agree there is alot going back and forth.

The Fish Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Id assume the reason for Peyton's commitment to this rehab processes is rooted in his belief that he has not flat lined yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 “He can’t throw the ball,” Lombardi told Simmons, as transcribed by Business Insider. “I’ve talked to people who’ve caught the ball for him. He can’t throw the ball to his left. He can’t throw the ball across his body, because he doesn’t feel it. People that catch the ball for him say he doesn’t really have velocity on the ball yet.”Note to Kravitz: ^^This^^Not 'noodle arm.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he "talked to people" catching from him?

ACollie17 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 This just in, Peyton misses a slant route in practice. This just in, Peyton threw to Austin Collie today instead of Reggie Wayne for a change. This just in, Peyton was in the weight room. This just in, Peyton overslept.I can't wait until the decision is made. The reiteration and nit-picking is getting ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BionicDamien Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I can only imagine how incredibly frustrated Manning must be. Never been hurt, best on the planet, then one day you can't feel your dang arm or throw the ball very well and you keep trying, keep trying, keep trying and nothing's happening.

I still say if they knew Peyton would be 100% the old Peyton that they would delay their future QB and ride it out with Manning for another 4-5 years. Of coarse there is no way of knowing that and probably won't be for quite some time so they will draft Luck and do the only smart thing they can do with an uncertain Manning future.

All the while your paycheck hangs in the balance. Yikes! I feel for Manning as well and I can see why he's grasping at any positive straw out there right now. The whole uncertainty has got to be frustrating. I think he can't fathom his career coming to an end in this fashion. I don't want to write him off just yet but I thought this Rush lyric applies: sadder still to watch it die.........than never to have known it..........for you the blind who once could see........the bell tolls for thee.

Larry Horseman Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I still say if they knew Peyton would be 100% the old Peyton that they would delay their future QB and ride it out with Manning for another 4-5 years. Of coarse there is no way of knowing that and probably won't be for quite some time so they will draft Luck and do the only smart thing they can do with an uncertain Manning future.A QB would be drafted this year regardless....maybe not with the #1 overall pick, but one would be taken in the first few rounds. According to Polian, they almost took Dalton and Yates last year. I assume this means if they would have fallen to the second and fourth round picks.I have no idea what to believe about PM anymore. One source says his sources tell him that his arm is a noodle, and other sources say he is progressing well and looking good. Guess it's all about riding it out at this point until Irsay or PM say something concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rccoltsfan Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Bill Polian confirmed tonight on PTI...on Dec.30, Peyton was throwing well to the right, to the left, across his body with a tight spiral, good accuracy and velocity. He said that Peyton was not yet throwing 50 yarders, maybe not 45, but everything he threw was showing marked improvement since September.This is a media frenzy led by none other than Bob Krapitz...waiting & watching for the king to fall. This * gets quoted as "an expert on the subject reports that Peyton Manning has a noodle arm" (seriously, that was posted on Yahoo Sports). Why is Peyton so threatening to the sports media, but the aloof Brady can do no wrong...?
