Well, I agree Denver is better with WR/TEs, but if you include Sproles and Thomas, then it gets interesting considering they both have about 60 catches.

Saints are a bit skewed cause they are so pass heavy to RB's.

I don't actually agree with that. I just think it is a hell of a lot closer than people say it is

I agree. The Saints create mismatches by using different formations involving the passing game with running backs.

Sproles and Thomas are both outstanding receiving backs.

Thomas is the best screen back in the game, and Sproles is extremely versatile. You can Sproles on a post, angle, a wheel, a screen, etc.




Overall talent it's Denver by far though. The Saints have more depth when it comes to weapons, but that doesn't mean they have a better group.

Graham, Colston, Sproles, Stills, Thomas

D. Thomas, Decker, Welker, Moreno, J. Thomas


I think this is an easy decision.

No one is knocking Graham, you just keep acting like Thomas is not one of the best young wideouts in the NFL. Which he certainly is. Dude is an absolute beast.

Although they have added Welker everyone was saying how shitty their WR core was when Tebow was there. Once Peyton shows up, they are now the best in the league??


Lol ATL has the best receiving core in the league (if they were healthy) by far.

J. Jones
Roddy White
Tony Gonzalez
Harry Douglas

(no I'm not an ATL fan)

I am not saying Thomas isn't a very good receiver.
But Denver does have a lot of weapons on the team, which leads to players having great seasons because defenses don't know who to cover.

I personally don't think Thomas would have nearly the same stats if you put him on any other team though. But that is just my opinion.

Huh? Jamaal Charles, LeSean McCoy and Matt Forte are a couple that jump to mind.
