Thomas is only in his 4th year. McDaniels was fired in December, offense was a mess in 2010. 2011 was mostly Tebow and the last two years were Peyton. He was a first round pick but he wasn't exactly utilized his first two seasons.
He's still my favorite receiver on Denver's team. It will be interesting how he stacks up once Peyton is gone.

You think Colston is better than DThomas?
yeah
of course you'll say "well maybe he used to be" and maybe that's true

A lot of people would normally agree with that, if not for the Manning vs Brees thread going on right now.
If this topic were posted on r/nfl I guarantee most people would take the combination Decker/D. Thomas/Welker/J. Thomas over having just a top weapon like Graham and mainly fillers.

Prime DT88 > Prime Colston

Colston doesn't have the breakaway speed DT88 has.

i know who he is and he had that catch from tebow, but colston has had 6 years with over 1k yards and some saints franchise records
d. thomas looks like he may be a product of peyton with his stats though, plus he had some injuries his first two years

D. Thomas is arguably top 5 in the game. He is a beast.

Sproles has 241 more all purpose yards than Welker and Sproles has played 1 less game.
Welker has 10 touchdowns to Sproles' 4. He has 49 first downs to sproles' 30.
Welker has gone over 1,000 receiving yards in 5 of his last 6 seasons and gets the ball a lot more from scrimmage
Welker averages more yards on punt returns than Sproles too, he just doesn't due it full time.

If that's all that stands out to you, you don't watch enough football.

I don't get how that makes him a better receiver.

I can use that exact same argument with Colston.

they've had threads like these and Denver was pretty widely regarded as #1. That is with people still believing that Moore and Colston were healthy and great receivers

Denver & it's not even close
Posted on 12/11/13 at 4:21 pm to THRILLHO
Saints and when you factor in Sproles its not close IMO

wow
Since the start of last season
Colston: 139 catches 1875 yards 14 TDs 105 first downs. 2 40+yard receptions
Thomas: 168 catches 2583 yards 21 TDs 115 first downs. 9 40+ yard receptions (4 70+ yard)
It isn't even close

denver's had a shitload of national tv games and we're still mostly ignorant of who peyton's throwing too

Denver by a long shot.
I was trying to tell this to a Saints tard at work the other day. He couldn't understand.

My point was in reply to the "thats a bold statement" comment. Not getting into a pissing match. It should be added that Sproles doesn't play every down either.
Posted on 12/11/13 at 4:57 pm to chalupa
Denver by a mile
It is really not even close
