Peyton Manning is becoming a fossil.
Just five years after entering the league and only one year removed from being a consensus top-10 fantasy draft pick, Manning now finds himself part of a dying breed. When researchers set out to discover what happened to Manning, Kurt Warner, Brian Griese and the rest of the quarterbacks who rapidly vanished from the fantasy landscape just after the turn of the century, the dig site will be an area seven yards deep and roughly as wide as the space between the tackles.
You can forgive them for not seeing the end coming. The pocket has long been a sanctuary for quarterbacks, an area to be vacated only in the gravest of emergencies - and even then for only as long as it took to escape danger. What the pocket passer failed to notice while seeking refuge behind his behemoth linemen was the evolution of a new kind of quarterback - a group of strong-armed scramblers perfectly suited both physically and mentally to explore the world beyond the pocket.
