The laws of physics cease to exist around DT. I am sorry MO. I forget about that. Silly me.

I think you severely overrate “diving.”

unlikely. . . rod is still over 200 catches ahead of him, and almost 3,000 yards. . . plus one super bowl ring. . . and rod played half his career under rules that were much less favorable to receivers. . . DT played his entire career in the inflated numbers era, and he'll still need three more strong seasons to catch rod's broncos records. . . he'll also need a small miracle to equal rod's championships. . . i don't see it happening. . . but whether he laid out or not, there's no shame in being the second best WR in franchise history, which is likely where he'll be when all's said and done. . .

I did not blurt out anything. What I said is 100% true. Just because you do not want to accept it does not refute the statement. If it was just a blurted out hot take that was incorrect, You or anyone on this board would have provided the 5 simple plays where he has laid out for a ball in a dive. Just 5. After the thousands of yards and catches you would think 5 simple dive plays would be easy. Anyone would to shut me up. But they cannot because I am right and you my friend need to accept it. Do you watch the broncos play? DT does everything well aside from laying out for a ball. The best WR in the game do everything well and that! He will still go down as the best bronco WR in our history, but you have to understand that he could be better if he did dive for a ball and you need to understand that criticizing his lack of doing so and interpreting that as complaining or thinking he sucks; well that is even more ridiculous than this entire discussion.

LOL, no you wasn't correct.

Then back it up. Prove it.
So far you are only proving my point by just saying "no you aren't" over and over again. I have laid down the facts and evidence. All you can muster up is "no you are not correct". Denial aint just a river amigo.

I really dont. Like this isnt even something I ever talk about, but so many here are like "my pwecious wittle DT. He must do everything perfect. He is the bestest and no one can critique his game. There is no wr better than him in the NFL and there is nothing he can do to improve his game"......

This is what I run into and then have to explain add nauseam, over and over and over again! He is not the best WR, there are others better, one little thing that separates him from them is the lack of diving for a ball.


It is the most simplest of all arguments. AND LITERALLY NO ONE CAN REFUTE IT (with evidence). Yet, here we are.

So, when a pass is over your head and goes off your fingertips, how exactly does diving help again?

This is a really stupid argument, UR. You should take your loss and give up.

Yes, Rod is ahead of but Rod also played twelve seasons.There are a lot of factors that will go into where Thomas' final number end up. Rod played with pretty much them same rules. Only real major change that can think of benefit to Rod. In his era if refs thought you would have come down with both feet but you had been pushed out before hand it still be ruled a catch. The five chuck has been in place since 1978 or 1979. More emphasis is on the rule than in Rod's era but he still benefited from it. That aside he still the best receiver in Broncos history and Thomas is second best regardless of what Under says. It's down right freaking criminal that Rod isn't in the Hall of Fame.

I made a thread for getting Hype!

I do not know why dont you ask the WR who do it and make the catches? Ask Hemann or Eddiemac. Julio, megatron or Antonio Brown. They have some amazing plays tht can only be made by diving.
Sometimes you have to dive for a football. This is like football 101. The elite, the best of the best do it. DT does not.

I think you have a reading comprehension issue.
