The Departure of Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas has left a little bit of a ripple in the organization. Last week after being traded to Houston for a 4th round pick, Thomas actually played his first game against the Broncos. After the game, local reporters around here who have had a 9 year relationship with Thomas interviewed him and this is what he had to say about his former team and teammates.
"That's what they do over there," Thomas told NFL.com's Mike Silver. "I ain't a part of that no more. We like to win over here."
Several days later, Thomas sought to clarify those remarks in a radio interview with AM 760 in Denver.
"But there's one thing I do want to clear up," Thomas said, via The Athletic's Nicky Jhabvala. "Because there's something out that's saying -- I said something but it wasn't the way it was. It was like, 'That's what they do over there. They lose, and we win over here.'
"It's not that. It's not that I was taking shots at the players or anybody. I wasn't taking shots at nobody. But if you want to be better, you got to listen to your players. They've been playing this game for a long time and when you don't change stuff up on the field -- there were games where I want to change stuff up on the field because I saw it and I knew it would help us. I used to do it with Peyton [Manning]. It helped the offense. I just try to make us better. But when you don't want to listen to the players, that's what's going to happen. It's the truth though. It's a great organization. Man, on a sheet of paper, that team right there, they got a special squad. Ain't no way they should be losing that many games."
As a Broncos fan I hate to see it get anywhere even close to this but, the NFL is a business and Thomas of all people should understand it’s always about money and winning. Sometimes a player just doesn’t fit into the mix anymore but, going as far as to say things like this is the wrong move for a player who will always be adored in the Broncos Organization and fans all over the world. Hopefully this is the end of it.
Nice post on sport.
At times players get misinterpreted and misunderstood with their words and also emotions and stress do play a part in their judgement and utterances. All the same NFL games is one of the best sports games to watch and play @broncnutz
Excellent post sir i agree with your principles of money and winning.
Great updates from you dear @bronocnutz.
As a game of sports this can happen naturally.
You are creating a special interest in us sir,thank you so much.
Great updates sir looks not a good stratagy for me.
This is not a great idea from Demaryius Thomas.
Appreciate your feelings about NFL
Agreed with your thinking
Your game is fantastic. Which must always win.
I like his last statement that THEY should not be loosing that many games. I do believe he should have used the word we, as he was part of the loosing that took place before his departure. Sour grapes is not the way fans want to see him go out. I didn't see any of the game or highlights. I am sure he got a very warm welcome comming back to a place that was his home for so long. It is always a shot to the ego when you feel that you are not needed anymore!
So sad news you lose nfl.You are absoutely right.NFL is business.Thomas of all people should understand it’s always about money and winning.😢😢😢😢
Well done,thanks a lot for your updates sir.
i just want to say that defeat and wins are a part of the game. Do not take it all with heart. but yes, the fans of broncos will be sad to hear it all.
