'"You are" looking for signs of decline "and you don't see it," said outside linebacker Lorenzo Alexander. "I think a lot of it is he doesn't take a beating, he doesn't take a lot of hits, so he's fresh. Peyton Manning was still a great quarterback (at 39 and in his final NFL season in Denver last year), but he had the neck injury, so his arm started to fade. Tom's arm isn't fading, so he's still able to make all the throws he was able to make when he was 25. But now he's smart. He has all that experience, so it's even harder to kind of game plan for him because he's seen everything."'
