In the mean time, Price, Tate, Edelman, Hernandez, Gronk, and Holt is more than enough depth for the time being.
Trouble is that the "r" we added to idea, we got by dropping if off of the deer.This joke really only works well in the Greater Boston/Mass area because that's the only place where idear is pronounced correctly

I don't want him to play this season! He will just get re-injured. The Patriots are really really bad about bringing guys back too early. Look what happened to Tate last year. Mayo was also brought back too early also.
Please: No Welker this season. Wes will want to play but don't let him. He will just be Tate-ified.
Mayo was also brought back too early also.
Welker's work ethic is unquestionable, but come on now. He's a human being who had a horrible knee injury in the last game of the season. His work ethic should enable him to get back on the field in 2010 but his game relies on making extremely aggressive cuts to lose his man. We'd be kidding ourselves if we didn't at least concede that this area of his game will be negatively impacted. In short, I expect him back this season, but I don't expect to see Wes Welker until 2011.

Listen. It's very clear to me you are 100% ignorant on the subject of ACL / MCL Injuries. We coming back this year would NOT cause him to get injured again. This isn't 1987 where the likelihood of re-injuring the same knee is 80% if you come back inside of a year. This is 2010 where the likelihood is probably 5%. The advances that have been made in ACL/MCL repair in just the last 10 years are mind-boggling and they continue to get better every year.
No, the Pats aren't really bad about bringing people back too early. On the contrary.
I'm sorry. Considering no one knows WHY Tate went onto the IR, using him as an example is dumb. Same with Mayo.

This was posted in regards to TB but Welker's condition fits it too...
Welker can and will be back by the start of the season. At the absolute worst if he isn't ready then he will be back by week 6. Either way he is coming back in 2010.
Brady's knee was fine. In a way it's more difficult for a QB, he doesn't have to cut as much but he has to stand in against the unexpected hit more.but Brady wasn't "back" even by the end of the season, which was well over a year post-op.
