With the preseason schedule in the books, Peyton Manning's arm strength remains the NFL's biggest mystery.
Although Broncos wide receivers have testified that Manning has "more zip" and can still "make every single throw," recent game film raises the same doubts that led several NFL scouts and executives to suggest last January that Father Time had claimed Manning as his most recent victim.
On Friday's edition of the Around The NFL Podcast, NFL Media's Andrew Siciliano revealed that three former players separately raised unsolicited alarm about Manning's throws in the third preseason game.
NFL Media analyst Brian Baldinger broke down the game tape this week, noting that Manning couldn't get the ball down the field against the Texans and 49ers in recent weeks.
"When you watch some of these throws, you can't believe it could possibly be the same guy," Baldinger said. "... You just (wonder) is it the arm, is it the new offense, is he thinking too much, is that possible? ... those plays are lay-ups for Peyton Manning."
