im not buying on decker. it may be short sighted of me but i think peyton makes guys look better than their ability really is and im weary of guys playing with great people around them and expecting their production to not drop with a new team.

kinda like linebackers with the ravens. i dont think bart or kruger have lived up to the expectations after they left the ravens.

I also thought the same about Garçon, BUT the Decker argument is a little different in that he also plays with Welker, D Thomas, and J Thomas.

If we can get a guy I would like it to be Edleman. No to Cooper and no to a big contract for Decker.

Edleman in the slot with Garçon and Hankerson/Robinson on the outside sounds pretty good to me.

dang, yeah the garcon card is a great rebuttal to the "peyton cures cancer" argument. i can hedge it a bit with the opinion (like you said) that decker had a better receiving corps than garcon with the colts. but you can hedge that with the argument that decker then had to share more touches with the other bronco receivers. my intellect is truly dizzying.

truth be told i didnt think garcon would be this good or this physical.
