With the exception of CJ (and the book is still being written on that one) They all have had hall of famer's throwing the ball to them. The only way he even sniffs that kind of productionin 2016 is if he's traded to another team with that kind of QB. Let's face it, without manning, thomas is average at best

D. Thomas runs like 3 routes

Uh... sure. Harrison and Rice really weren't all that good.

LMAO....really? Average at best?

I didn't say that, dumbass. What I said was, his production will go down because he won't have the same quality QB throwing to him. Do you think that JR and JH would have had the same numbers if they had dilfer, cassel etc. throwing the ball to them?

This narrative is reeruned and comes from his college offense. Actually watch the guy play sometime instead of spouting out BS you heard 5 years ago.

40 year old Rice was still putting up 1100, 1200 yard seasons with Gannon throwing to him, so yeah, I think he would have done pretty well no matter who was his QB.

I do doubt that... uh... Justin Houston?... would have 1400 yards if Dilfer or Cassel threw the ball to him.

Honestly I'm not too worried about the QB play in Denver. Elway has shown that getting A+ quarterbacking is pretty much his #1 priority, unlike the GMs of other teams.

Demaryius Thomas has a combined 834 yards and 6 TD's in 2 years without Peyton Manning.

Manning is clearly helping his numbers and when he's gone he won't be a 1,400 consistent yard WR.

So you think gannon was bad? ROFL He could flat out sling the ball, especially in his years with the faid. He wasn't a hof'er, but he didn't suck either

He started 7 total games in those 2 years, and the QB was Tebow.

No he hasn't actually. There won't be a Peyton Manning available next year in free agency.
Elway will have to draft one, or rely on Assweiler.

Yeah, that's the point, since that was your original argument.

And he won't have Manning or anyone close to him after this season.

Are you trying to say that 834 yards and 6 TDs in 7 games is bad?

Also, you can throw in the 204 yard, 1 TD playoff game he had with Tebow.

My bad, let me be more specific. He'll have a slapdick like asswiper throwing to him. Better?
