Peyton Manning still shaking off the rust

Broncos QB Peyton Manning had another up-an-down performance in his 2nd preseason game.  He finished 16 of 23 for 177 yards but tossed 2 INTs and 0 INTs.  He missed a couple open receivers, and a few of his passes were wobbly.  But TE Jacob Tamme dropped a TD.  And Manning looked masterful in the 2-minute drill, completing 8 of 11 passes for 87 yards.  He also took a couple hits and bounced right back up each time.  "We can build on this," Manning said afterwards. "But there were some things we have to improve on, and some things I have to improve on.  The more I play, the more comfortable I’ll get."  To us, Manning’s arm looks plenty good enough to get the job done.  At this point, it’s a matter of him getting comfortable with his teammates.  We continue to view Peyton as a low-end QB1, although we’re not biting at his current 6th-round ADP.
