Bears coach John Fox suspects we havent seen the last of the iconic quarterback he coached for three seasons in Denver. Manning has nine TD passes to 17 interceptions.

James Palmer of NFL Network is reporting that Manning hasn’t even spoken to Osweiler all week including what the game plan would be for the Bears. By forcing turnovers and not letting the score get out of reach, the Broncos can rely on their run game to open up passing lanes for their quarterback. “I’m disappointed about that”, reported the Denver Post.
But we leave with the idea that the Broncos aren’t a top-tier AFC contender unless Manning comes back healthy and starts dealing.
He got benched last week and will sit this one out because of a variety of injuries. He just can’t throw it down-field any longer.
Brock Osweiler (Denver) has been groomed for years and is a sneaky start this week as he finally gets a chance to start in the NFL.
The various reports create dueling impressions regarding whether Manning is or isn’t trying to help Osweiler. We just want him to get healthy as quickly as possible.
The other thing he’s done that in my mind is the overlooked huge advantage of the team is brought in a team of scouts that know something other teams don’t about finding gems from the unknown and overlooked schools.
“It’s been going really well”, Ware said. “So I told him that I am here for him as a resource if he needs me, but I’m not going to be one of those extra voices in his ear”.
What Manning didn’t say is that none of those coaches have even a fraction of the experience and knowledge of Manning himself. Offensive Coordinator Adam Gase.
Manning made a brief appearance on the field during practice Friday to chat with coaches, Kubiak said, though the five-time MVP has largely left backup quarterback Brock Osweiler alone this week.
Injured player: Peyton Manning, cyborg quarterback that is somehow still operational at 39 years old. “I think from a preparation standpoint, he’s learned from probably one of the better guys to play the position”, Fox said. We spent a good hour together up there. “I know things haven’t gone quite like he’s expected and for that, I feel bad for him”.
“I don’t think anyone in this locker room is doubting 18 (Manning), or putting 18 on the backburner”.
He wants to go and do everything he can for his football team … but only, apparently, on his own terms. ” … that may not actually be the case”. Remember, after last offseason Manning revealed that he’d played through a quad tear. It felt like a wild, desperate move at the time to a few. He’s solid against the pass but has been beaten in run blocking here and there (though that could be said of our whole line to be fair to him). He was below 60 percent in just one of three preseasons, though that hasn’t exactly augured well over the years with this type of quarterback.
“I got to learn from one of the best in the game to ever play the game in Tom, and he was such a great mentor to me”, Cassel said a year ago.
With his first career National Football League start, Osweiler will now be able to put all the preparation, hard work and film study into leading this team into the NFL Playoffs. Father time is undefeated and will continue to be for every players career.
Look, would I bet on Kansas City overtaking Denver? While Tony Romo will give the Cowboys a major boost, you have to take rust into consideration.
Matt Forte returned to practice after missing the past couple of games with a knee injury.
I’ll definitely be watching on Sunday to see how Osweiler does.

Although this will be Osweiler’s first start, the Kalispell native has seen action in eight regular season games for the Broncos, completing 31 passes for over 300 yards and two touchdowns during his pro career.
