Peyton Manning

We are now well into the NFL season, and suddenly were seeing which teams are truly vying for a championship. There are still 5 teams left unbeaten, one of them being the Denver Broncos. Peyton has played below average not compared to his other season, but also compared to other quarterbacks. But there defense has been outstanding, and that's given them a perfect start. My questions today are 1: Can Peyton Manning clean up his play?
2: Can the Broncos win a Super Bowl?

First, Can Peyton Manning clean up his act? I think so. Even in this terrible season, we've seen flashes of greatness. The problem is his arm is not what it used to be. When he was younger, he seemed to put so much power on his throw, making it so hard to intercept him. Now, he seems to struggle throwing the ball with heat, and you see that when the pics are being thrown. Can he turn this season around? I don't think so. The power loss has come with age, and even one of the best QB's of all time can't stop that from happening. Thinking into the future, there are a lot of good options. They aren't going to get a great quarterback in this years draft given they'll probably have a later pick, so I think they make a move in the offseason. I know for a fact they could get there hands on RGIII or Johnny Football for pretty cheap. But for now, Peyton is the QB for the season.

The question though is, can the Broncos be in contention for a super bowl? I think there definitely in contention this season. In fact, if Peyton was dominating the way he used to, I'd call them the favorites. I think at this point, they need Peyton to back off a little and give the ball more to Ronnie Hillman and CJ Anderson. They both tear up the football field, and I think there offense could be more effective. The problem is their coach truly believes that he doesn't need to make any adjustments and there offense will eventually come alive. Maybe that'll happen, but I like the running game much better for this team. No matter what, though, they'll have to rely on there defense to win games. I'd call them one of the best in the game, and there the reason there undefeated. Peyton Manning has lead there team year after year, and now it's time for the defense to win ball games despite Peyton struggling. Either way, there's only 5 teams left unbeaten, and only 3 are 6-0. So any team with that record is, in my book, gonna have a chance for a Super Bowl (yes, even the Bengals). It's time for people to stop judging and embrace that the Broncos are still one of the top teams this year.
