I'm surprised about Michael Thomas

I'm no college football expert by any stretch but from what I read about Thomas, the reason he didn't have the big numbers other receivers had was because of the run first offense he was in at Ohio State.

Now that he's in a pass first offense maybe he'll put up those amazing numbers he couldn't get in college. If he can, I think he'll be the perfect compliment to Cooks' speed and Snead's clutch grabs. We can hope.

That's a good point, didn't Demaryius Thomas play in a run first offense at Georgia Tech?

Then when denver signed Peyton Manning his stats shot through the roof.

You're thinking back to the olden days. Urban has the Bucks throwing like crazy these days. They just hiccuped last year with a new, mediocre OC and some dumbass two QB confusion. I'm thinking he would've totally outclassed Treadwell had he the misfortune to have ended up at Ole Miss. Instead, we got lucky.
