I never realized how much of a team leader he was prior to all the inside stuff from the past week.
Edelman might be good- genius, maybe if you said it in 2011 I'd give some credit.
As sacrilegious as this would've sounded even 2 years ago, I do think that Edelman this year was better than Welker has ever been. Not by much, it's very close, but his versatility just tips the scales for me.
In that case, after reevaluating... Peter King is still a hack.Both those are written by Greg Bedard
WW is a superior receiver than JE. I don't understand the debate here.
I'm the furthest thing from a football savant, but I was pining for Welker in 2004 (I think my first post on the board back in September 2006 proposes sending a 3rd rounder to Miami for him) and I was saying back in 2011 that Edelman could replace Welker. I was even laughed at on another board for saying I had a strange feeling that the team might consider trading Wes at a high value point since they had a viable replacement.
I guess this means that you can dismiss everything I say, but if we are discussing unheralded white receivers, you do so at your own risk.

Not to be facetious, but Welker wasn't any part of the reason the 2007 team didn't get it done.
JE is the superior all around receiver. Welker could never juke the paints out of an outside CB the way Edelman did to Simon... TWICE. (Brady missed the first throw)
Edelman and Welker get lumped in together because let's face it, they're both short white guys, but Edelmans game is more closer to Antonio Brown than Welker.
