08:03 AM ET 07.27 | Peyton Manning spent this past St. Patrick's Day at Duke University, privately auditioning for the Broncos. The recovery stage Manning was in during his audition at Duke was pretty much where he was during his first organized team activity for the Broncos on May 21. Manning could throw with zip and accuracy as long as the throws weren't too far downfield. He has come along since. ... "He's stronger now than he was in OTAs," [Andre Caldwell] said. "He's throwing with more zip." "I don't know if it was first day of OTAs compared to the first day of training camp, but he was on the money [Thursday]," said Demaryius Thomas, the Broncos' No. 1 wide receiver. "He's throwing the deep ball great."

Note to Thomas... you drop Manning's passes the way you dropped Tebow's passes and you are not going to get the same response from Manning that you got from Tebow.

"Peyton Manning spent this past St. Patrick's Day at Duke University, privately auditioning for private audition for the Broncos."

What language are they trying to write this in, alacranese?

"He's throwing the deep ball great." Demaryius, is that compared to Tebow? If so, that's not saying much.

The rest of that division better watch out....the new sheriff in town....has Domination on the brain...Pantera style

When was the last time we had a Kansas City thread, or an Oakland thread, or a San Diego thread?

The rest of that division has quietly ceased to exist. Sort of like they did last year.

"Manning could throw with zip and accuracy as long as the throws weren't too far downfield."

Doesn't this apply to 90% of people who have ever thrown a football? I've got zip and accuracy for 10 yards, after that it become obvious why I was never a qb.
