Speaking of Peyton Manning, age is creeping up on him. The last half of the 2014 season may have been a glimpse of Manning’s future. Manning is one of the greatest the game has ever seen, but no one beats Father Time. Injuries could derail this teams bid for a Super Bowl run. If the offensive line takes too long to gel, expect Manning to have a difficult time getting the ball out. If the running game can’t carry the load, and defenses can key on Manning, 2015 is going to be a painful one for the Sheriff. CJ Anderson was a bright spot for Denver at the end of the season, but his success will rely heavily on that offensive line, and it will likely impact how well Manning does this season. Manning will likely not be able to put up the same numbers with the issues that Denver will face with the offensive line.
