The mediots going off on "The Welker Situation" thread.(Merged)

[PatsWSB47]

On First Take right now. Smith's saying Brady's just a "company man" and is throwing Welker under the bus for not calling out the Patriot's treatment of Welker.

Stephen A Smith is an idiot with a microphone. You avoid idiots with a microphone.

[BradyManny]

That company pays him $18 million a year and he answers to two of the best in the biz at what they do: Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick. Why the hell wouldn't you be a "company man" under that scenario?

[PATSYLICIOUS]

So he wants Brady to throw management under the bus instead? Yeah, that would look really good on Brady. Thankfully Brady is (as he has most often in the past) handling this one ideally.

I think First Take is orchestrated. Skip loves Brady and Stephen A. has to go against that. The bottom line is, there is NO WAY to know what the Pats are thinking. They phased out Randy Moss in 2010 and traded him - but the Pats did not say a word. It was the Vikings that illuminated the issues with Moss.
With Welker, I don't know if it is a health issue, a discipline issue, or a "going in a different direction" issue. Stephen A. gets paid to speculate and blaming Brady is an easy argument (not saying I agree with it).

[Armchair Quarterback]

Why would you ever watch that show? Contrived debate between two *******s.

[Shed83]

Stephen A Smith talks a lot of sense when it comes to the NFL. I agree with most of his opinions.

However when it comes to the Patriots he turns into a complete douche!! I'm not sure if it's to disagree with Bayliss for the sake of it or because he's a bitter New Yorker that doesn't like Bostonian teams!!

As for this example of it, Brady has lost or seen lots of receivers, some he was close to personally, phased out for whatever reason. I'm sure even Stephen A Smith will agree Belichick kinda knows what he's doing on that front!

[DocHoliday]

It's odd:

Smith is usually sensible about everything but the Patriots.

Skip is usually delusional about everything, except the Patriots.

Were Smith (whoever he is, as I watch zero sports shows) capable of coherent thought he'd criticize Welker who was on WEEI yesterday in a fine mood regarding the team, excepting the minor detail of a loss, that is. W3 spouted the company line, Kool Aid dribbling down his chin. Love W3.

That does it....I'm not supporting Tom Brady any MORE!!!! I've had it!!!! If Stephen A. (A stands for something dirty and stinky I am sure) says that Tom is just a company man....then that is what must be going on around here......
