And again, you can't apply a science to a receiver's skills dismissing as each player is different. We can just go on what we know, and that's that Welker is healthy and just had a career season. Not sure what the hang up here is. Again, you're arguing on hypotheticals while I'm arguing on fact. .
Are you saying statistics and historical trends based on 100s of WRs who ever played the game should not be considered when making a multi-million dollar commitment to a 31 year-old player? I agree that WW looks like he will not slow down in the near future. We agree to disagree.
First, a slippery slope is a logical fallacy. Second, I would think that my point would be apparent. Welker was the only receiver on our offense that demanded double teams. As somebody that could do that patrolling the same area that Gronk and Hernandez did, it would seem apparent that he made Gronk's job easier. .
I'd consider Gronk a receiver has most certainly been double teamed.
We agree.Understood. That's the game of football. Injuries could occur at any time. As Pats fans, we understand this better than most. But the Pats don't bail out on contract proceedings based on that risk. If they did that, there wouldn't be any sense in them having a franchise. .
1. You attempted to blast me earlier for bringing Brady into this. Now that your argument is falling flat on its face, you're bringing him in. Interesting turn of events that could go one of two ways. Either you can admit that the players mentioned are irrelevant to the argument at hand or you can admit that you just shot a hole in your primary argument. .
My bad. Let me clarify. From a contractual standpoint, QBs are in a completely different space than positional players.
2. Moss's payday in 2008 would indicate a failure in your initial sentence to support this point.
If anything, the terms Randy at age 31 agreed to prove my point...
3 years, $27 million with $15 million guaranteed, $12 million of which is in the form of a signing bonus.
Pats proposal to WW at age 31- 2yr/$16m guaranteed.
$1m more than Randy in guranteed $ and I'm guessing the singing bonuses might be comparable but I do not know that for a fact....
