What about Welker? He's been the leading receiver (in receptions) for the past two seasons. Had the Patriots finished the deal a few years ago, he would have been MVP (I'm sure). He was the most consistent in the playoffs overall that year. He's been the most consistent throughout. I know he operates in the slot, and Moss is being double-teamed a lot, but maybe that's what makes Welker so necessary. What do you all think?
We'd have to see what Welker would be able to do without Moss lined up on the other side. Hopefully that NEVER happens.
True indeed.

Like who??
I was just thinking that given the way the team is constructed and who the backups are, Adalius Thomas and Jerod Mayo are worth considering - after Brady and Wilfork. My first instinct was to name Seymour third, but those two may be more valuable to the team's success than Seymour right now.How about Adalius? I think losing him again would be scary.

Just looked at your location. Gator fan?
Stephen Neal made a pretty good case for himself, I'd say.
Welker came to mind for me as well; hence, I posed the question earlier in the thread. Honestly, though, I'm almost too afraid of the thought of losing anyone mentioned in this thread, as well as some who have not been mentioned.Defensively, it's close between Wilfork and Mayo. We're effed either way if one goes down.
Offensively, it is without question Welker. If an offense doesn't have an outlet receiver and a 1st down machine, they are prone to stalling. Granted, TFB makes any receiver better, but the odds of the offense being what it is without Welker are slim and none. Moss is an outstanding deep threat, an incredible technician, and posesses the best ball skills this generation has seen. That said, his "we cannot loose him" value is decreased by the presence of Galloway. Galloway can still stretch the field, run the 6's, 7's, and 8's quite well. He can still be dangerous on bubble screens, he can still run a dirty 15 yard in. Due to Galloway's presence, Moss' "we cannot loose him" value is decreased. There isn't a player in the NFL on the level of Welker right now in terms of quickness and tenacity. Other than Brady, unquestionably, it is Welker.
