Been watching how clean Manning has been all day and wondering how good Bradford would be if he was kept clean every game like that?

I know every QB gets hit occasionally but Manning was sacked 18 times the whole regular season Bradford was sack 15 times this year.

The lesson: Draft oline early and often!

It helps to have Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker.
So how do they keep him from getting sacked? I know he doesn't hold the ball long but he and the O line are the reasons he doesn't get sacked much.

All I'm saying is that those guys help out Peyton too. They don't drop every other pass.

Peyton Manning gets rid of the ball uber quick. That's in part because that line isn't all world but good enough. They haven't been with their starting LT all season.

I thought Brady had more time to throw than Manning. Manning just gets it out so quickly. Although he did have good protection today. You also have to keep in mind that his protection calls have something to do with it too.

Manning looked so comfortable today.

Makes you wonder how much the Pats cheating contributed to confusing him in the past.

The Broncos have a good OLine, but you just can't blitz Manning. Warner was the same back in the day as well. If you blitz those guys, they'll hit the hot read, and take it to the house.

^ this.

I'm open to options, but loading up the line is a must this offseason.

This please. I know people say " I don't believe in drafting o-line high - you can develop these guys. But look how many high picks are on the really successful o-lines. Just look at the 9ers.

It's not like Denver has a bunch of Pro-Bowlers on their OL.
Manning makes adjustments at the LOS and gets rid of the ball quickly.

Just Zane Beadles, Ryan Clady and Louis Vasquez. 3 out of 5 isn't that many.

Oh sure every QB in the league can do the same stuff Manning does

Yeah, but they're not perennial Pro-Bowlers, are they? Guys that made it once or twice? I didn't look it up, just going by memory as I don't follow the AFC much.
