Maybe an unpopular opinion but I’m surprised everyone just assumes that Peyton’s arm was dead and he couldn’t play anymore after 2015.

Thing is his arm was weak long before that, but his offense frequently masked the deficiency. And I specifically recall in the Chiefs game that year we got down big and Kubiak let him run the no-huddle. He looked completely fine then and was able to bring us back and eventually get the win off of Charles’ fumble.

I even remember in the postgame interview he was in a good mood because he kinda showed the haters he still had it.

But then we didn’t see the no-huddle again for the entire rest of the year, mainly cause our defense kept our opponents’ scoring down, so there was never a need to go ‘high-flying offense.’

And in hindsight, it worked, we won the SB. But I’m not questioning the tactic... I just think that given the chance to run his offense we saw the Peyton of old, and if we had continued to do so, maybe it wouldn’t have been 2014 again, but I think he still could’ve definitely done better than 9 TDs and 17 INTs.
