"On Wednesday evening, Ryan Wilson passed along a report that Peyton Manning's arm "is a noodle." That description was not complimentary. And neither is the the description of Manning from NFL Network's Michael Lombardi. Lombardi, appearing with Bill Simmons on "The BS Report," said that Manning "can't throw the ball to his left (CBS Sports)."
Guys who have caught the ball for him says he has no velocity on the ball, and the reason he can throw to his left is because he loses feeling when trying to throw across his body. That is really not good news. Manning still has a month to get his arm right before the Colts have to decide to cut him, but it's looking more and more likely they are going to.
For now structurally Manning is fine, but the nerves aren't and if he can't get his arm back then he is going to be done. I have no idea how long that might take, but I have to admit I am rooting for him to make it back. He is one of the greatest and I would love to see him back in the NFL again, and not be forced into retirement.
