The Facts:
The offense is moving faster at organized team activities than it did last year. So are Manning's passes. "We worked out at Duke in March or April and I definitely felt like he had more zip on the ball," wide receiver Eric Decker said. "I think he’s come back stronger."

After some questioned his arm strength last season, Manning appears to be answering the questions in advance this year. Some of that is attributable to being more comfortable with his targets, but much of it is Manning himself. "I think (the ball) coming to you quicker can be he reads and comfort level with the receivers, too," Decker said. "But I think some of those throws that he fits in the holes, you feel a little more zip on it and he is getting it to you quicker." In 2012, his first season after multiple neck surgeries, Manning repeatedly reminded inquisitors that he was still in the midst of his rehabilitation and still didn't feel like he did prior to his surgeries. Still, Manning racked up season-long numbers that were the second-best of his career across the board and broke a slew of Denver single-season records. Don't be surprised if we see more of that this year.
