I'd take Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Roddy White, Julio Jones, Wes Welker, Brandon Marshall...**** it. I'd take a lot of receivers over D. Thomas.

Wes Welker lol all Brady there. It's easy to list receivers with a lot of yards. Thomas is a different type of beast.

Still not too impressed with Moreno, but better than he's usually. I still think he has way too many carries where he pitterpadders behind the line of scrimmage and goes nowhere.
Sure because manning has never made a receiver look better then he is.

You're right.As usual.
They're now 3 wins, 10 losses. Ouch!
Thomas looked good with Tebow.
32 catches for 551 years in 11 games is looking good?
Interesting. He didn't seem to have a problem with Matt Cassel throwing it to him either.

Terrelle Pryor needs to be on the field. Palmer is a joke and the Raiders need to cut their losses. They gave up way too much to get his washed up ass, but need to realize that Pryor is a much better option at this point in the season.
I also hope these Gruden rumors are somewhat true. Dennis Allen was a move I could not comprehend. Can that ****er and get an actual coach!

I was confused about the Gruden comment. Quick search and first line is too funny.

Opinions are like *******s. Everyone's got one. For me, I'll take Thomas over most other top receivers because I like his size and style of play. He's the hardest WR to bring down and gets enough separation when he needs to. Most of you guys probably haven't seen him play much. You'll see soon enough.

I read that article last night and thought it was funny too because it is so true.
But a piece of me still wants there to be some bit of truth to the rumors. Gruden coming back would at least provide some excitement to the Raider Nation. Doubt it will happen, but no matter what, at the end of the season, Dennis Allen has to go.

Pryor is definitely not the answer. He is worse than Palmer in the throwing department and the only advantage he has over Palmer is his legs.
Another wasted draft pick.

Pretty good YAC....
He was coming off injury, but yes I would say we saw him begining to improve while with Tebow. Presumptuous to say he would be a AllPro type receiver then, but we saw glimpses primarily down the stretch and obviously the playoff win.
I think he's still gaining steam. Right now, I really like the way he plays and a lot of his yards come from after people are trying to tackle him, I think impresses me the most about him.

Agreed that Pryor does not throw as well as Palmer, but when you really don't have anyone to throw to, having a QB who can threaten D's with the keeper, in theory, should open up just a bit more of the offense.
My point is, at least give the kid a shot, seeing as the offense and defense can't seem to do anything to keep themselves in a game.
I also now that the entire Raider team needs to be dismantled and rebuilt. They do nothing well. As a fan, this season has been more frustrating to me than seasons past.

Thomas is a good receiver, but I'd place him on the second tier of receivers that include Julio Jones and Dez Bryant. Tons of upside and potential, and starting to come into their own. Thomas should definitely break out with Manning throwing him the ball.
Right now Calvin Johnson and Andre Johnson are the standard bearers as far as receivers...and AJ Green is scary good.
It really is a shame that Larry Fitzgerald has no one to get him the ball in Arizona. The prime years of his career, and his production is being held back by the lack of a QB.

Looks like San Diego will fire coach Norv Turner and GM A.J. Smith at the end of the season.
