Maybe you should look up their stats before saying this. Best year Wayne 104 catches for 1510 Yards. Best year Welker 122 catches 1510 yards.
.
Marvin Harrison put up the better stats than either of them. I'll give you him. I still think Welker is better than Wayne.
We are not talking 1 on 1. We are talking as a group
Demaryius Thomas is 6-3 & 230 lbs.
Julius Thomas is 6-5 & 250 lbs.
Eric Decker is 6-3 & 214 lbs.
Not to mention Wes Welker. That is a big, strong athletic group of receivers. I'd take this team for various reasons against Peytons Colts. Those recievers are one of them. They create more mismatches.
Haha. No one is stopping you from talking about your team or other teams. How about the Saints and stomping Miami like they did. Are the Saints back?
Since you posted the numbers, why did you leave out perhaps the most important stat...touchdowns? Wayne had 10 of them that year, and Welker had 9. But 2011 was a banner year for Welker in his career. That's his career high for TD receptions (which he will most likely break this year). Wayne has 3 seasons with 10+ TD catches. And he has a better yard per reception average, because Wayne can actually get open downfield better than Welker, who is the king of 2-4 yard screen pass.
Size isn't everything for a WR. In fact most of the elite WRs in NFL history weren't all that big. Route running is a much better skill to have, and is the primary reason both Wayne and Harrison are top 10 guys in the three major receiving categories in NFL history.
As dominant as the Broncos are now, they would be much more scary if Thomas and Decker were replaced with Harrison and Wayne (in their primes, like the 2005 version of them).
True but when they that talented, as the Denver ones are, it makes them hard to bring down. Yards after catch

They are the only team in the league worth talking about right now. Everybody else is just 2nd fiddle.

The Seahawks say "Hi".

Right now Denver looks unstoppable, but not even in the same stratosphere as the Patriots team that finished the regular season undefeated. That team was other worldly, and still didn't win a championship.
LMAO at how over confident Broncos fans are in this thread. Super Bowls are freaking hard to win, and you definitely don't win them in September.

I was joking. Mostly. But right now there really is only 2-3 teams that look championship caliber. That could change later in the season, or the teams still looking like championship caliber could change. Denver has a pretty tough 3-4 week period later this year they could look different after that stretch.
