Brief amateur video of Peyton Manning throwing at Duke today has surfaced. youtu.be/GOVAiFAmLc4 @SportsCenter & ESPN.comshortly

[FireJimCaldwell]

Interesting..

[Moncrief]

If this is him good

[Ohio Colt]

sketchy IMO

[CashMoney]

sketchy IMO

Sketchy for sure, but the timing of this leak is interesting. Less then a week before the deadline. This is going to be littered throughout the media... Regardless, "its up to manning if he wants to return".

[The Fish]

It's all right on schedule for maximum drama.

[subvet]

How does anyone know who this really is? I would love it to be Peyton, but I dunno......

[GoColts8818]

Well it could be Peyton but it might not be. I am not sure if Peyton would be throwing in full pads or not. It could be a Duke kid throwing however the leg kick looked a lot like Peyton's follow threw on passes. I don't know if you can say it's for sure Peyton but you can't rule it out that it is him that's for sure.

[The Fish]

It's him... I have no doubt

I definitely noticed the kick, it also seems like Manning's extremely quick release.

[Happy2BeHere]

Yah interesting for sure...

[The Fish]

This is what I wanted to see, emotionally this stokes the coals.

We shall see.

[LaughingAtIrsay]

That play action fake.. That's PM.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I don't think its Manning. If it was really him why wear #18 on your back? It might just be ESPN creating a story to fill a little time on their gazillion stations.

[Fx Stryker]

No doubt that is Peyton. Just can tell by the throwing motion, the dropback. It's him and nice pass. What was that 50 yards?

It's his practice uniform. What better way to show than have your pads on?

[runthepost]

its him

remember peyton has happy feet

[GoColts8818]

After watching it again and reading mort's tweets I think it's him. If its not we need to scout that kid!

[Fx Stryker]

I wonder people were thinking when there is just one person lurking in the background hiding behind the goal post.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Well, IMO it is obviously Peyton (not sure how ANYONE familiar with the Colts doesn't instantly recognize Peyton's mannerisms/body-language). And it appears to be Duke's practice field.

Seeing this video is very encouraging. I'm liking the scenario where a rested and ticked off Manning returns. And I am really going to enjoy watching Florio, Shefter, Mortenson, King and "Noodle Arm" backtrack from their "Manning is gone" mantra.

[ColtsLegacy]

For some reason the song "Baby come back" was running through my head while watching this clip...

"Baby come back, you can blame it all on me. I was wrong, and I just can't live without you!"

[jtcoltsfan]

Yeah, it's him. on the second throw, you can see his left knee is protected with something. Oh, and the happy feet, the kick, the follow through, and the weather.

[FireJimCaldwell]

Please don't refer to his technique as happy feet. He pumps his feet so he can throw at moment's notice. Mike VIck has "happy feet" when he panics and bails out on a pass and turns to run. Spurrier coined that term incorrectly when Manning was at UT.

It's just nails on a chalkboard.

Don't forget La Can-dou.........it's best I don't say that. :heh:

[Blackhawk4]

And the person who recorded this was never heard from again...

I know that. He's always on the balls of his feet. It isn't meant to be derogatory. At least not from me. I've had the same argument you made with drunk Raiders fans.. it doesn't go over the same!

[HungarianColtsFan]

And NFL officials will now storm Irsay's home to investigate if he has seen this video or not?

Funny, isn't it...? One week ago there was an article, that Colts' officials can't watch Manning, and now this video is "leaked".

[BrentMc11]

I listened.....I am sure I hear Peyton's drawl in the background. The follow through is Manning.....I have to say it is hokie to be videotaping through a board in the fence. But turn up your sound....listen for Mannings voice we have heard so many times at the line of scrimmage.

[CMD918]

That's Peyton for sure and if it ain't forget Luck draft this kid lol.

[BrentMc11]

Looks like a 36 yr old kid...HA HA!

Among those who have joined Manning in Durham, NC, include Colts teammates Dallas Clark and Austin Collie, as well as former teammate Brandon Stokley, sources said.

Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning took another positive step forward in his recovery from neck surgery on Friday, conducting an aggressive throwing session in his Colts helmet, shoulder pads and jersey at Duke University, a source at the workout told ESPN.

independently verified as authentic, making apparent encouraging progress in his recovery from the surgery that sidelined him for the 2011 season. The session comes as a deadline approaches for the Colts' decision to exercise a $28 million option on March 8.

Manning can be seen completing passes in the video posted by a user who had access to a videotaped portion of the session near the Duke practice field.

Sources at Duke and close to Manning confirm he has been conducting aggressive throwing sessions in shoulder pads and helmet since Tuesday at Duke, where his former University of Tennessee offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe is now the head coach. It is Manning's second trip to work under the supervision of Cutcliffe.

You can tell by his feet, this is without a doubt the great one....mr. Manning himself...

Agreed

If you watch about ten seconds in after he throws a deep pattern the way that man is walking back to the line. if it's not Peyton then someone is a very good impersonator

[ruksak]

...and they said he may never take a snap again. Let's start this $% season already!

That is definitely him with the closer view. This is encouraging, but as I keep saying...now it is March 3 and he is at Duke...not here. Hope you are feeliing better.

[Steve Waugh]

Thats him and he is looking good.

Peyton - Just get out of Colts and win SB somewhere. If Irsay wanted you back, he would have atleast consulted you not kept you in dark. Matter of fact, even Andrew Luck is available coz of you ( as you didnt play ). This team is the same yucky in all departments.

Houston or Chiefs.

[Balzer40]

I hope this is Peyton and he is really doing better, but it really don't change a thing. I mean does anybody honestly believe Irsay is all of a sudden gonna write up a 28 million dollar check now because some goofball filmed Manning throw a whopping 4 passes through a hole in a wall from 75 yds away?

It's nice for us fans to see. As for Irsay, his franchises immediate success hinges on signing Peyton. A man whom many had wondered if he could ever throw a strong ball again. Apparently he can.

...and why is this camera operator a "goofball"? He accomplished what tens of thousands of the media army couldn't.
