Manning has never, ever, ever had a guy like he does this year with Demaryius Thomas.
Truth be told; A franchise QB, an all-time great like Manning...makes a good receiver a great receiver, a really good receiver a hall of fame receiver.
Just like Tom Brady did with guys like David Givens.
Manning turned average TE's like Jacob Tamme and Bryan Fletcher into guys who made plays on a consistent basis at times.
Now he's making Knowshon look like a real RB.
You think that's coincidence?
Come on.

No, I don't think that's a coincidence.
But I also know that Harrison had a solid rookie season without Manning.
Eddie Kennison also had a good rookie season.
The difference in their careers is the QB, but Manning is not solely responsible for Harrison.
He was a good receiver that just benefitted from better QB play in his second season on, while Kennison had crap at QB throughout most of his career.
