Patriots are 5-1 and have an elite defense

Are referees allowed to call a hold if it keeps Brady from getting touched?

They almost called a penalty on Junior Galette for making a scary face at Tom Brady, but luckily for the Saints they didn't catch it.

BANG CARTOONS: "SKIRTING ISSUES" The NFL has taken to fitting some guys with skirts

Umm.... no

Clark was only a product of the system they had... He failed to produce anything outside of IND.

Yea im sure having freeman as your QB had nothing to do with it

Pretty darn well actually once he got healthy. Look at his numbers from December and January of 2011/2012.

7 games, 35 receptions, 745 yards, 21.29 yards per reception, 4 touchdowns. For a team that threw it as rarely as Denver did, those numbers are outstanding.

BTW I'd take Thomas over any receiver Manning played with in Indy. He doesn't have their numbers yet but with his size and speed he'll be better. And Julius Thomas already has more receptions and touchdowns than Dallas Clark had the entire 2004 season.

Thomas hasn't earned close to the right to be compared to Marvin Harrison yet.

Compare Demaryius Thomas' 2012 numbers to Marvin Harrison's 2004 numbers. Thomas leads in receptions, yards, and average, Harrison in touchdowns. And Eric Decker's 2012 is really close to Reggie Wayne's 2004 (Decker had more receptions and touchdowns, Wayne more yards).

I don't care what comparison you make. Marvin Harrison is a hall of famer and Thomas is 25. Nothing you can compare is legitimate.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Just because you don't like the comparison doesn't automatically make it invalid.

I'd disrespectful to a hall of famer to act like every young guy with potential is on the same level.

We're not talking about "every young guy with potential," we're talking about one guy specifically with potential who has already put up great numbers in his career.

He put up decent numbers for one year. Lots of people have done as much. One year doesn't warrant a comparison.
