Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star made an appearance on the Tony Kornheiser Show on ESPN 980 on Tuesday and indicated that Colts quarterback Peyton Manning is not throwing like an “NFL quarterback” right now.
“I know some of the people that have seen him throw,” said Kravitz. “They say he’s not throwing like an NFL quarterback yet. That doesn’t mean he never will. This thing is going to take down. Structurally, he’s sound. Structurally, he can take a hit.”
When referring to how Peyton’s been throwing the ball, Kravitz used the phrase “noodle arm.”
This is exactly why I think there’s still a chance that Peyton may end up retiring. If he can’t throw a football well enough to be effective in the NFL, he won’t be able to help an NFL team.

Original Story:
I do hope that Peyton will retire IF he finds that he cannot throw the football like he did prior to his surgery. He has been my favorite QB for a long time and I would hate to see him come back and have to quit or get traded or fired. He is just too good to go to any other team.
