Yep.
I've been saying all along that while
Wes Welker is The Greatest Slot End in the History of the Universe...
1 ~
If you're in the business of winning Super Bowls ~ and we
are ~ then of
course you prioritize Hybrids like
Rob Gronkowski and
Aaron the Navigator over Welker, who is only dangerous as a Slot Receiver.
2 ~ When the
G+H RailRoad is up for a raise in 2 years ~ and I've been saying this all along ~
that is when I believe it makes sense to cut Welker loose,
unless he's willing to extend at a greatly reduced rate: 2014 is where Age + Salary Cap converge to make that the right move for us, though I
worship Wes Welker.
3 ~ What we have here is an
Historic 24 Month Window of Opportunity: Gronk, Hernandez, and Welker offer domination of the middle of the ChessBoard that no other team comes within
light years of matching.
4 ~ And ~ in stark contrast to the frustrations of the
last 24 months ~ we now suddenly have an
incredibly deep arsenal of talented, dangerous, and
Patriot Proven Slot Ends and Flankers, in
Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney, Deion Branch, and
Donte StallWorth, to spread the Safeties out
and give Gronkowski, Hernandez, and Welker far more room to navigate then they've ever had!!
So I say: Let's keep Wes around for the next year or two, but then, yeah:
Let's ride the
G+H RailRoad for the
decade!! :rocker:
