He is very flexible. He wants some new ideas and to run some new things.

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 05:25:15 -0700 Denver Broncos WR Eric Decker said there is no question QB Peyton Manning's (neck) arm strength is good enough to start in the NFL.

"The guy's still throwing the ball a long time, throwing it great, hitting you in the right spot," Decker said. "He's such a perfectionist. If he hits you in the belly button, he gets mad at himself for not hitting you in the chest. It's unbelievable to be around a guy who has those standards for himself."

"And you say, you know, 'We worked on that back in April and May, and that time we put in was worth it because it came on a critical third-down conversion or a touchdown pass.'"

Decker has also been overly impressed with Manning's work ethic early on.
