No, he's not... if he was such a gamebreaker, the pats offense wouldnt have put up a measly 13 points against baltimore, even without gronk.

He's an excellent slot guy who's quick out of his breaks and has great hands... but without other players helping keep the heat off of him, he's easily accounted for and contained.

He's a great complementary player, but not a true difference maker who can line up anywhere and consistently win that battle.

Here's my thought on the Welker signing...

It doesn't fix their problems from 2012 and what ultimately cost them the playoff game vs BAL. Denver's defense has improved a lot over the last 2 seasons, but there's still work to be done - holes to be filled.

However, a big part of what makes Manning successful is having lots of weapons and working the slot receiver. Welker is an amazing addition as a slot receiver and while it wasn't a top priority, how do you pass on the opportunity at that price? It was a no-brainer signing to me and yes, Welker has a lot of wear and tear, but he's far from being old and washed up.

This signing makes their offense more lethal... which they'll need if when they get caught up in shoot outs, which they will in 2013 if they don't make a major upgrade in the secondary.

All in all ... not a lot to point at and laugh at with this signing.

You're going to compare this guys' career, against a single game against Baltimore?

Get out.

PFF also says they looked amazing against the Ravens. Really stepped it up that game...

Well, actually he does. He gets open so quick, is great at hot reads and is in such good sync with his QB, he goes a long way towards reducing the effectiveness of a blitz or very good pass rush.

The best WR in the NFL doesn't settle for 12 million over 2 years.

I think that's why he's a great difference maker. Recently, in NE with the injuries at TE - Welker was 'the man' in the passing game. He's not built to be "the man", he's built to be an amazing "other weapon" and that's exactly what he's set up to be in Denver with Thomas, Decker and Tamme. That is a nice 4-some in the passing game, one of the best going into 2013.

I think you'll be hard pressed to find 3 other teams with a better "4" in their passing attacks.

If I'm John Dorsey, I would have made some calls and tried to get Wes Welker.

**** Donnie Avery.

I would have no problem giving Wes a 2 year 14-15 million dollar deal.

Why do you cry when people say Brady is better than Manning? What can you do about it? They are both HOFers and better than what the chiefs have

That seems amazing, and stupid, to me.

I see two names come up very often.


Nope, don't worry guys, Wes Welker is overrated, and a product of his system.

Yep.

Exactly, how many 2-5 yard passes did he catch from Brady over the years? That's another way you rack up 5 out of 6 seasons with over 110 receptions - move the chains. Welker is not a #1 receiver... that's not his role.

The most dangerous and productive one just did.

You are out of your ****ing mind. Just for the record.
