Hell I wouldn't put it past Welker dudes a freak
As gay as this fanboy stuff can be, I was in LAX today. I saw a stocky, ripped up kid that looked like Welker. I walked by, muttered "Sweet 83 impression, dude". He replied, "I am 83". I offered to buy him a beer in a super casual way. He declined, I told him I respected his game, and hoped he finally could get paid like an outside guy. He laughed, thanked me, we talked some ball in passing, and I intentionally avoided the injury discussion. But, yes, I can confirm that he was in LAX.
I'm going to be laughing (in the nicest way possible) at all you doubters on Week 1. I've said all along I expect him to play Week 1 and it seems more likely than ever now. I know it's natural to protect yourself from disappointment by being negative but it's OK, really, to admit that WR can make it back in this time (Braylon Edwards did) and if anyone can, Welker will.
sorry, but its completely idiotic to think he will be back for week 1. He relies on his knees for making cuts, no way he is ready by then. His knee would give out if he was back that early.
It's optimistic. It's not idiotic nor unrealistic.sorry, but its completely idiotic to think he will be back for week 1. He relies on his knees for making cuts, no way he is ready by then. His knee would give out if he was back that early.
No disrespect, but this is as dubious a source as they get.
I hope he isn't PUPed even if he isn't ready. If you're on the PUP you can't practice, officially anyway, with the team until Week 7. I'd give up a roster spot to have him on the 53 and able to practice. Hopefully Week 6, the week after the bye, is the latest we'll see him return.Personally, I hope he is PUP'd. First off, I don't think he will be fully ready to by week 1, no matter how ahead of schedule he may or may not be. Second off (and I have the feeling some people will jump on me for saying this), I'd actually like to have Brady go a few weeks without his security blanket so he learns how to use some of the other receiving weapons we've added.

You fly coach or first class?
Wes ain't sitting in the back with the cattle,thats for sure
No wonder many celebrities don't talk to strangers in restaurants or on planes (their friends and staff know not to discuss anything "real" with them where they might be overheard).
Not only is there a chance that his/her smiling, friendly seat-mate has his PDA on "Record" but that someone will overhear a snippet of conversation, most likely out of context, and have it spread it all over the internet.
We only have ourselves to blame that those whom we admire in the sports or entertainment worlds are reluctant to speak to us or only talk in the most guarded of terms if they do engage us.
Even if nothing gets said by a sports or entertainment personality, something will get made up anyway. I'm not saying this story/thread is this, just addressing your point.
Maybe Wes just got some good news on his injury and he's just pumped up, ready to get back on the field. If anyone here has had serious health issues- you can attest that it feels great to hear good news, especially when you aren't necessarily expecting it. Sometimes it's hard to keep that enthusiasm in. (Disclaimer: An ACL/MCL isn't life threatening, but professionally it's a serious issue. So no, I'm not comparing it to heart attacks, stroke, cancer, etc..)
Really, who knows? We'll have a slightly better idea of how things are when it's late August and Wes has been on the field 4 weeks already, or hasn't been seen on the practice field at all. One thing I think we can all guess about Wes- he WILL be out there the second he thinks he can do it. The man just keeps his focus and gets it done every time. :rocker:
