Would you put Welker in the Patriot's HOF?

If he is a Patriot for a few more years, he is a lock. (I'm talking PATRIOTS HOF.) If he is cut or gets a ridiculous offer and plays his last year as a shadow of himself, OK. If he turns away a decent offer and plays for another team and has the catch that eliminates the Patriots from the playoffs, I'd have to think about it.

What say you?

He needs 4 receptions to be the all time franchise leader.

262 yards he'll only trail Stanley Morgan.

He's the all time leader in the NFL in 100 reception seasons at 4. He's tied with Chris Carter at 2 with 120+ reception seasons and all of these seasons happened as a Patriot.

He's 7th in punt return yards.

If his 2012 season is another 100+, 1000+ then I don't see how he doesn't make it.

If Welker never played another snap for the Pats, he would still belong in their HOF.

he's already a lock imo, I think it's sad that some would even question it

Personally I am going to disagree, specifically with this portion.

When it comes to the team's Hall of Fame, players should be judged solely on their performance on the field as a member of the Patriots.

A player should not be penalized because another team offered more money, and he accepted that offer. That's on the Patriots front office to match that offer; it's not on the player to accept a lower salary.

I think the question is whether he will make the NFL HOF.

Some here can't fathom that. But if he has another 100+ reception season he's going to be in the discussion and if he wins a ring here the discussion won't be much of an argument. Not a first ballot or anything, but a guy who gets in eventually. HOF voter Peter King spoke to that a few month ago in one of his columns. The consistency of his career as a starter and the fact that he's done it with and without Brady and with an evolving cast of characters as opposed to as Randy's beneficiary or the TE's beneficiary. The HOF is supposed to be about dominance at your position, not just accumulated empty yardage as a result of longevity or perception based on team accomplishment.

Let me ask you this, has Wes won a Super Bowl? Let's see what happens. :-O

Players don't win Super Bowls, teams do. Just ask Dan Marino. Guys make one in a million freak catches and score TD's and land on the street in a year or two and won't sniff even their teams HOF unless they buy a ticket.

Ron Sellers

Based on that logic then you must also believe that John Hannah, Andre Tippett, Steve Grogan, Drew Bledsoe, Sam Cunningham, Jim Nance and several other current members do not deserve to be in the Patriots HoF.
