I think you're underestimating how important Welker is to the offense. Imagine if one of Hernadez/Gronk/Lloyd went down and we traded away Welker? Depth is so important, and people need to start realizing this.
I agree. I think he is also underestimating the secondary as well. It hasn't always been pretty, but how about we let a few more games play out before we declare the secondary DOA. McCourty and Arrington are both extremely young, and McCourty showed during his rookie season that he can definitely play at a higher level. Look at how the patience with Cunningham is paying off big for the Pats. Also, the defense has a different look and feel to it when Chung is in the lineup. How about we give him this season to prove he can stay on the field and be a full-time contributor before we put the final nail in his coffin.
OP, just take a step or two away from the ledge. Let's enjoy the fact that the Pats look improved in all phases of the game and had a really nice win in week one. The season is a long one and a lot can change as time progresses. Let's enjoy the ride and allow Welker to finish what he started here. We'll worry about the rest when we get there.
