He isn't a star #1 but he would be a great fit with Lafell, Edelman and Gronk, with Tyms and Dobson in the mix as well, it could be a very talented, big and physical group.I was mostly kidding. He's way too soft and disappears in big games. There's no way he would take a major pay cut, as I am sure there are teams willing to give him a ton of money.
I value him at no more than $2-3 million per year though.
Not talking about the SB. That was yesteryear and is hardly relevant, IMHO. But you are entitled to your opinion, as am I. His most recent outing is more indicative of where he is right now. He dropped a lot of balls that were catchable. Stats usually do not tell the whole story, so . . .Demaryius Thomas career vs the pats:
2011 reg season- 7 catches, 116 yds
2012 playoffs- 6 catches 93 yds
Keep in mind both of those games above were with tebow
2012 reg season- 9 catches 180 yds, 1 fumble
2013 reg season- 4 catches 41 yds, 1 td
2014 playoffs- 7 catches 134 yds, 1 td
2014 reg season- 7 catches 127 yds
And yes I did watch all these games. No I'm not just looking at box scores
There are an abundance of reasons denver falls apart in big games, especially games against the patriots. DT isn't really one of those reasons. As stated by others, he was by far Denver's best player in the SB, and really thier only player to even show up.
The only real knock on DT is that SOMETIMES not always, he doesn't play as physically as he can for a guy his size, but that doesn't mean he's not a big game player. He's physicality is inconsistent. He's still a top 5 WR in the game (calvin, Aj green, Julio jones, dez, Dt in no particular order)
As for where he goes? I would absolutely love to have him here, he would make this offense even more lethal if that's even possible. Unfortuanely just knowing the way the patriots do business, combined with DT rumored asking price, there's a 0% chance he signs here. Maybe in a perfect world, but not reality.
I personally think he lands in Indy. Great fit for both sides IMO
He loses to Tom whether they play each other or not.Peyton Manning said: "I would rather lose at home and be one-and-done for a 9th time, than to lose to Tom Brady again"
The Broncos are a soft team. It came from their head coach and their QB. Manning folds whenever things go bad for him. He has the heart of a coward. And when the rest of the team see that in their QB of course they lose faith in themselves as a team. They quit on the Colts.
Peyton Manning is a locker room cancer. He took a team talented and hungry enough to make the Divisional Round with Tebow running around 35 yards behind the line of scrimmage like a chicken with no head, and basically just killed them in his quest for stats. No heart, no fire, no determination, no grit.
Now their entire team wants to leave.
A Denver rebuild SHOULD have looked like a simple moving on from the QB position. Instead it might look like rats fleeing a sinking ship, and all their homegrown McDaniels-drafted super-talent will be hitting the road and trying to get the hell out of there.
lolololololololol
The way they (particularly Peyton) were playing at the end, can you really blame them? If Brady was playing that same way, the Patriots wouldn't want any part of Seattle.
Not that I'd want him when we have TFB, but I would love to see how BB would handle Peyton being his QB. Peyton would not call the shots on a BB team and I wouldn't be shocked to see him benched for a game as BB makes his point.
BB would NEVER allow Peyton to wave the punt team off like he did to Dungy.
Until someone offers him $10m a year (which someone will). Think Vincent Jackson. The Raiders, Panthers, even the Jets - someone is going to offer him stupid money and he's absolutely going to take it over a "chance to win" - he can do that on his 'next contract' like most players who finish their second deal, are in that low-30s age bracket, and then remember legacy is not just statistical in nature...unless that statistic includes championships.
He's practically the only one who showed up against Seattle last year.Thinking it or saying it, he's too soft for the patriots. Do not want.
For the love of god no...
We don't need Demarius Thomas, and if we did make an epic mistake in signing him, we wouldn't be able to retain other key guys like McCourty, Revis, Vereen, Ghostkowski, etc..
Keep in mind that we have some other guys coming up on the end of their rookie deals in 2016 that will demand monster contracts like Chandler Jones and Dante Hightower.
We simply don't have the cap room to carry a top 5 WR contract, which is for sure what DT will get from free agency. We have a potent enough offense as it is.. LaFell will be that much better next year in the system.. maybe by some miracle Aaron Dobson will finally live up to his draft status and talent potential and be a solid #3 WR for us by im not holding my breath...
Point is, we have plenty of veterans on offense to hold the fort, they just need to actually draft a WR that can learn the offense.
I'd prefer to have Revis than DT. I think we'll try our luck on WRs in the 2nd round again. Honestly, I'd much rather do that than overpay a WR by $10m.
BTW, living in Denver, this article is gold. Everyone here has the mentality of, "hopefully everybody else loses, so we don't have to play to win a game."
