Oehser lists his first of 21 questions: Can Peyton get better?
While it’s true that you wouldn’t expect Caldwell to say anything else, it’s equally true that Manning’s history thus far has given little to indicate Caldwell’s assessment isn’t accurate. He has won four MVP awards in the last seven seasons, and in two of the seasons he didn’t win, he finished second (2005) in one and was the Super Bowl MVP in the other (2006).
It is true that eventually Manning can’t keep improving. Eventually, even the greatest of players reach an age where skills peak, then eventually deteriorate. Eventually, even the greatest careers end, in Manning’s case, there’s little sign of deterioration and little reason to believe a third consecutive MVP is out of the question.
And as for getting better next season, there’s little reason to think he won’t keep doing that, either.
