Bill Pollian paints a grim picture though of what Manning actually looks like these days. He said he isn't even close to his old form. Peyton also cannot throw to the left, and he cannot throw across his body because of the nerve damage he can't feel it.

Receivers also say that Peyton doesn't have any zip on the ball, his arm is basically gone.

Dang i can't believe he would try and come back and play if he is that damaged. I knew his arm was suspect after the surgeries, but i had no idea he basically has gotten no better over the last 18 months.

I guess this is the way he is going to be. Can't beleive some team is going to sign him if he is that bad.

Somebody that is more knowledgeble than me, would the Redskins still try and sign Manning if he is just a shell of his former self? (and most accounts have him looking that way).

This is some grim picture

Polian contradicted reports that Peyton hasn’t been able to throw effectively.

“It’s marked [improvement] from where he was back in September,” Polian said regarding Peyton’s arm strength in December, when Polian last observed Manning. “He threw it accurately, he threw it with a good, tight spiral, and he threw it with velocity. Generally, he looked like a pretty confident quarterback out there.”

This meshes with recent comments from Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri, who said last week that Peyton “definitely is not that far off.”
