Ohhh Dues.....go take a poop!
There's been plenty of Welker hate, and you know it. Pretending otherwise doesn't improve your position. It just makes you look dishonest.

I don't get it. So hasn't Edelman proven with the same opportunity that he can duplicate Welker's stats and come thru in the clutch?
Your making it seem like Edelman not a 100catch, 1000 yard receiver.
That is a bit of a strawmanI called him the greatest slot WR in history....When is calling someone great at anything all of a sudden hate?

Why dont you go back to 2013 (if its even possible) and see why I started posting here. WW was gone, the site had gone mad and I was trying to explain to everyone (as a new poster here) that JE would make everyone forget about WW. Its that simple.
JE is whatever we thought he was. JE is what he record is. JE is clutch, a great player, and a SB winner, and an elite ST player, and the heart and soul of the team.
What does that have to do with the fact that when the discussion of the greatest WRs comes up WW will be in the discussion and JE wont (right now). I hope JE goes off and becomes the GOAT or whatever he can become. Or just help win another ring.
I just dont see the need to compare the two and slight anything WW did for us. As clutch as JE is WW was mega clutch many times. I dont think its fair to let a circus catch againt our D and a difficult catch (similar to the one JE dropped in the end zone this past game) diminish WWs legacy VS JEs.
And WW did it plenty of timesGreat players make great plays in big situations
Welker complained about BB getting on him, you never hear that from Edelperon.
I bet Edels already knows which mistakes he made in the last game/practice and has already taken steps to correct them before the coach even talks to him about it. Many people have said that if every player had the heart and determination of Edelperson the Pats would go undefeated every year.

Is he a better slot receiver than edelman? Definitely.
69 receptions on 90 targets in the postseaon (77%)
11 receptions on 14 targets in 2007 SB
7 receptions on 8 targets in 2011 SB
18 receptions on 22 catches in the 2 SBs combined (82%)

Yeah, he dropped that pass in 2011. But the amount of stupidity about Welker that has infected this board since, and especially since he's been gone, is ridiculous. Hell, at the time of the 2011 game, a whole lot of people around here were saying Welker had no shot to catch the ball because of the throw.
If we go by how many pro bowls players have as the standard, than Manning has more PB than Brady, which would make him the better player. We all know that's false.
Welker won't even sniff the HOF. What are you smoking and why aren't you sharing????
MAss, that is a good point. This board loves to continually harp on value i.e Amendola, Arrington etc when in retrospect WW might have been the best Value the Pats ever had on the team - next to Randy Moss's first season here but that is not the point.The deluded souls believing the team would have an extra ring or so forget how much bang the Pats got for the buck with Welker, and how frequently he was the one catching the ball and moving the chains. .
