Assuming good health (a huge assumption at this point) 2013 Amendola is better than 2013 Welker. I'll grant you that 2013 Amendola may never approach 2007-2009 Wes, but that isn't NE's choice at the moment.
I also fail to see how you can criticize NE for not investing in the receiving corps when they
A) Offered Welker more money than he ultimately accepted in Denver.
B) Have handed out three $30mm contracts to receivers in just the last three years, as well as another $3mm a year to Lloyd, $6mm and two draft picks for Ocho and three other draft picks (2/4/7).
You want to fault them for the actual selections, fine. But the cheap rhetoric has no basis in reality.
You can continue to refrain from lurking here if you wish.

I'm not suggesting that he is as good as Welker. I'm just suggesting that I'd rather have Welker on the team now, as in 2013 and also 2014--but that by the end of next season he'll definitely be slowing down and adding age. Those factors show that he likely has a shelf life that will be much shorter than his new hopeful replacement.I dunno...first..Amendola is OK. But he's no Wes Welker.
There are lots of comparable guys out there with less of an injury history who they could have brought in IMO.
Secondly (the bolded)...I think that is a MAJOR part of the problem WHY NOT pay them both? Brady deserves some $ invested in his receiving corps.
He's played in 16 games for 8 of his 9 seasons. I think he'd make a GREAT addition to this group. But then again the Hamburgler probably would too, so that's not saying much.
What do his DROPS suggest?
Pre 2011, we NEVER talked about his drops. His hands were money.

Fail all of you.
Facts are that 2011 was Welkers highest catch rate - 71%. FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | Wes Welker
This season, Welker is at 63% catch rate closing in on the sweet spot of 66% - 2 out of 3 passes caught. FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | WIDE RECEIVERS 2013 As Welker and Manning get more familiar, look for Welkers catch rate to increase.
This is all a bunch of foolishness about Welker declining.
Yeah "played" in those games, yet only managed to crack over 50 catches one time..because he is always playing injured.

WW has 12 catches....3 for TDs...the remaining 9 catches were all for first downs. Some afterthought. I love your analysis though. It's as if teams just ignore WW and the ball mistaken winds up in his arms in the end zone by accident.
Amendola's stats were limited by Sam Bradford in STL, just like Welker's stats were limited by his crappy QB play in Miami.
No Amendola's stats were limited by injury. He had some monster games.
He is now pitching Depend undergarments for discreet protection. Perhaps he craps his pants with some of those hits he takes.

Between that and his bizarre Old Spice ad, I want to know what his agent is thinking when it comes to endorsement deals.
