NFL to begin process for replacement refs - Extra Points - Boston.com A season of chippy games is in the offing! :bricks:

Now that the poll has closed, it seems most voters (55) feel Welker is, to some degree, a system receiver. The result is is close though, because 47 voters feel he isn't.

Looks like the poll closed with more than a supermajority of voters -- 72.36% in fact -- not blaming Welker at all.

Only 11 posts to start bashing "the G" in a Brady thread? I think that's a patsfans.com record! :D

You're suggesting Brady isn't infallible? You're suggesting Brady isn't destined to play the quarterback position flawlessly for the next thousand years? On this board? Jets fan. :bricks:

I agree that there should be one. Unfortunately, I can't edit the poll, so "hasn't changed" has to be indicated in a post, as you have done. :)

Does anyone think Welker is in effect, paying the cost of the Ocho debacle? The Pats flushed about 6 million dollars down the crapper on Ocho. Are they trying to get it back on the Welker deal?

This is your chance to vote on whether Welker, given his current age and ability, is a "system receiver". Let's define a system receiver as a receiver who puts up much better numbers in a particular offense (including that offense's quarterback ;) ) than he would with most of the other 31...

This is a great analysis, and I think it superbly parallels the Pats' thinking vis-a-vis enlarging the offensive field vertically and horizontally. Furthermore, this analysis is consistent with tagging Welker for one or possibly two years, since the Pats' offense is likely transitioning away...

The greats don't leave them game; the game leaves them. Barring serious injury, which is of course a threat for every player, Brady will simply reach a point where the mind is able and the spirit willing, but the flesh is weak. The fact that this topic keeps coming up repeatedly, from various...

Interesting. The final results are relitively close, with 26 voting "yes" or "possibly", and 29 "probably not" or "no chance" votes.
