Don’t test him: Peyton Manning’s arm isn’t what makes him dangerous

Sure Denver Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning threw three interceptions against the Atlanta Falcons’ paltry defense and struggled with his accuracy on deep throws. Truth be told, people were foolish to think that his arm strength would fully return so soon after being cleared to resume playing.

Or to assume that it would completely return. There is the possibility that we will never see the old Manning who had the ability to make those deep throws he attempted on Monday but people are missing the big picture.

Peyton Manning’s teaching skills are overrated

Denver Broncos’ players and coaches have raved about Peyton Manning’s teaching skills and leadership ability during the team’s OTAs. Manning has spent a lot of time during the team’s practices instructing players on how he plans to run the offense.  

This is one of the reasons why wide receivers play so well under Manning’s leadership. He makes sure they are in the right place at the right time and helps them to see what he sees on the field.

Too bad his teaching skills don’t extend to backup quarterbacks or running backs.
