Well it's not fair for people to be dogging Kendall Wright and Justin Hunter. A lot of people think they could be doing a lot better with a better QB.

No one is dogging them, just saying they're probably league average as far as WR tandems go. I think that's a pretty fair assessment. Wright is a pretty solid possession WR but I don't see him being much more. Hunter would stand to benefit the most from a QB upgrade but his potential doesn't come close to someone like Thomas, who put up excellent numbers down the stretch with Tebow at QB

What was Demaryius Thomas doing before Manning? Being a mediocre WR. Now he's a top 5 WR. There are many WRs in this league that could be doing what he's doing in that offense.

I think it's obvious that any player, Thomas included, will have better numbers with a QB like Manning.

That being said, I think it's obvious just watching him that he's a top 5 WR as well. His skill set jumps out at you.

You mentioned he was mediocre before Manning showed up, but not even talking about the QBs throwing to him, it was his 1st 2 seasons at a position that guys don't usually come in right away and put up monster numbers. Couple that with the QB situation, and I don't think it's fair to give Manning most of the credit for the difference in years 1 and 2 to now.
