I love that quote from Schottenheimer, the first thing that pops into his mind when he thinks of Welker. "I'm not very smart."

Great stuff. Also just came across this photo (I think a link from Rapoport) showing Welker's size relative to the rest of the offense.



Nobody tougher though. And, yeah, he is pretty good without Moss.

Yep when Welker came in everything at that time trended to the 6'3"+ WRs thanks to Randy. Can we get this guy a ring please Pats?

Beautiful! Though standing between Solder and Gronkowski is hardly fair...even Ocho looks like a twig in that company.

The other thing great about that photo is seeing Brady, who is 6'4", dwarfed by Solder. If Vollmer were there it would look similar.

Hard to imagine a guy that small making such a big difference. I don't think he could do the things he does if he weren't so small.

PatriotFan77

Man, looking at Solder and Gronk just makes me think "Just run behind those two all game"

BEAST.

The Pale Pilgrim!

Hopefully this week we here Welker signed for 4 years 38-42 mil with 15-20 guaranteed and not let this linger into the offseason.

Gotta love Wes. He's been consistently awesome since day 1. Few talk about it but I believe he is a HOF'er. Currently at 650 career receptions and 7,226 career yards I believe he'll get to the 1,000 receptions and 10,000 bench marks. That puts him in some pretty elite company (8 have 1,000 catches and 36 have 10,000 yards).

Here's a quote from Jerry Garcia, talking about the Dead, that perfectly describes Welker:

"You do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones who do what you do."
