I was wrong about Sammy Morris in a similar way. I didn't mind the player, I just didn't think he'd add much. Boy was I wrong there.
heheh looking at these similar threads on here I'm glad that's why we're fans and not coaches or Front office making decisions. There are things that we're not at privy with and infos that we don't have. And that's why they're getting PAID to make these decisions and us to watch weekends.

So, how many people still feel that trading 2nd (28th/ 60th overall) & 7th (28th/238th overall) round picks was overpaying?
I loved the deal as soon as it happened, and the more I see this kid play, the more I wonder what the Dolphins were thinking. Imagine that they dealt away a return man, and leading reciever for a late 2nd, and then went ahead and took Ted Ginn Jr 9th in the first round. Now, had they dealt Welker, taken Brady Quinn, and announced they were rebuilding, that'd be one thing. However, they went ahead and traded for a 37 year old, labotomized Trent Green.
How many omlets could you make with Green's brain? And, would they be green eggs, like green eggs and ham?
Boomer on WEEI just said that he and Marino were saying how the hell could the Phins have traded Welker away? Too funny. Aqua's binky 'talked football' and disagreed with him.

The Pats were going to sign Welker to a contract (with one of those infamous "poison pills" i.e. he gets an extra 5 million if he pays 6 home games in Miami in a year) and pay the 2nd draft pick for compensation. What they did, was make it a trade instead, (as to not piss off, a division rival, and not have the Dolphins do the same thing in turn to the Pats later on).
Exactly. It WASN'T a trade! Why it keeps being called that is...

It *was* a trade, but the tables had been set for Welker to come to NE. Miami really had two options.
1) Let Welker go to NE based on a poison pill contract and only get a 2nd.
2) Trade Welker to NE and get a 2nd as well as a 7th.
Miami chose #2 meaning that was a trade, but your point that Miami shouldn't be chided for their decision is a good one.

I was down in Florida for this past Superbowl. The NFL had an event on Hollywood Beach on the sand, a flag football game. Doug Flutie was the quarterback and Welker was one of his receivers. Now the game was played barefooted on the sand.
Welker would get open with ease and caught EVERYTHING Flute thru his way and was incredibly fast on the sand even barefooted. When the Pats traded for him, I knew it was a good move.

Welker was an amazing steal. I was happy that we got him and wasn't worrying that we overpayed, he has exceeded expectations. In Beoli I trust of course. And Welker was easily the best offensive and special teams player Miami had and they traded him. Go figure, the idiots.
After the Miami game I think early on in 2006, I wanted Welker on this team badly.
