J-RoC770 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 2nd best WR tandems behind Julio and Roddy? I think so, Or maybe it's just Peyton making them look like studs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dem Birds Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thomas is a stud, Decker is a solid player that Peyton makes look a little better. 3rd best tandem at the highest. Cruz and Nicks are still better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Initiative Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Roddy and Julio are fun to watch, but there's a few teams with more proven duos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonDaLuvMaker Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Roddy and Julio are fun to watch, but there's a few teams with more proven duos.Other than Cruz/Nicks and Jennings/Nelson I can't think of any other duo that is more proven.

Kayoh Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Roddy & Julio are #1. Jackson & Williams are #2. #3 might just be Rice & Tate in Seattle. Decker is too much of a weak link for Decker+Thomas to be mentioned as a top tandem. Demaryius Thomas is an absolute stud, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Decker has sucked the last month or so. They where tops earlier in the season no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 they are a really good tandem. Thomas is that huge blazing fast receiver type and decker just knows how to get open and is the possession style bailout receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 pick™ Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Their good but really, most of this is all Peyton. If Peyton had Julio and Roddy, he would break every passing record known to man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson & Williams #2 and then Rice and Tate #3?Cruz and NicksNelson and JenningsThomas and Decker (Decker a weak link?

Tribal Chief Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Anytime you have a great qb you're gonna have this situation. Thomas was good coming out of college but because of that lame system at GT you would have never known it. Decker was the man in college as well so his production isn't a surprise. It benefits them to have a real qb though. I guarantee if one was hitting the market next year, they would get better money now than if they had trbow throwing to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampyMux12 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) Are we talking this year? Because Nelson and Jennings have both been out more than a few games this season. I'd be surprised if they've played in 5 games together...Also, Nelson has had 1 good year... Jennings has been a stud, but Nelson had a spike in production last season, and is back down to his average production this season.Same with Julio... we need more consistency from him before we can claim that he is part of the #1 WR tandom in the league. He still disappears in games far too often...I would say the best combo is Megatron and any warm body you put on the other side of the field...

Kayoh Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 lol wut? Jackson & Williams #2 and then Rice and Tate #3?Cruz and NicksNelson and JenningsThomas and Decker (Decker a weak link? Do you even watch football?)Bryant and Austinare all higher than both of those you named. Easily higher.Stokley has been better, more consistent and more dynamic than Decker this season. If you wanna say Thomas and Stokley, then I might say sure, they're one of the better tandems in the league, but Eric Decker just isn't that good. Decker leads the NFL in drops. The only WR who has dropped a higher percentage of catchable passes thrown at them are Cecil Shorts and Denarius Moore.Victor Cruz is a slot receiver, so if you include Nicks+Cruz as a "tandem" then you've also got to look at other elite slot receivers like Cobb, Amendola, Welker, and even Andrew Hawkins in Cincinnati. Either all slot receivers are included in the definition of WR "tandem" or none of them are.Greg Jennings has only seen action in 4 games this season...why would you even mention him? If you're going to bring up a tandem in Green Bay, following your rules, it'd have to be Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. Nobody is talking about the entirety of a tandem's body of work, otherwise the best in the league would be DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, and I refuse to believe that. We're talking about THIS SEASON, and the only WR Tandem THIS SEASON that has gotten close to the level of dominance that Roddy and Julio show has been Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams. After those two tandems, there's a HUGE dropoff. Andre Johnson + Kevin Walter is up there. If we're including slots, then Demaryius Thomas + Brandon Stokley is up there as well as Jordy Nelson + Randall Cobb, and even AJ Green + Andrew Hawkins. The only other true WR Tandems (excluding slots) that come close are Sidney Rice + Golden Tate and Michael Crabtree + Mario Manningham. Bryant + Austin aren't even on my radar, they're both too inconsistent and never show up in the same game the way Roddy and Julio have shown they have the ability to do like they did against Dallas.If I had to rank them I'd do this1a. Roddy + Julio1b. Vincent Jackson + Mike Williams3. Sidney Rice + Golden Tate4. Michael Crabtree + Mario Manningham5. Andre Johnson + Kevin Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
