The Facts:
Mike Klis of The Denver Post watched Manning through four weeks of offseason activities and judged the quarterback's arm strength to be at 85-to-90 percent of what it was before the surgeries. Klis told PFT Live on Tuesday that number was up from 65 percent when Manning started OTAs. "He really came a long way in that four weeks," Klis said, adding that Manning "threw crossing patterns with zip -- and on the money."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
NFL.com's Marc Sessler reminded readers we haven't seen Manning throw a touchdown pass since January 8, 2011. That's when the Jets beat the Indianapolis Colts in an AFC wild-card playoff game, long before a string of neck surgeries led to Manning's year-long hiatus and a major career shift. ... So the news is good, right? Well. ... Klis dropped an ominous footnote, saying he remains skeptical Manning will reach 100 percent this season, or ever again. But does he have to be the Manning of old to succeed? Stay tuned. We'll be watching for more when camp opens.
