Poll: Welker - Yea or Nay

[psychoPat]

We've read (and written) all the reasons, pro and con.

Now how about a simple head count of Pats fans?
Thumbs up or thumbs down on the Welker offer sheet.

 

[Kontradiction]

Where's the poll?

Either way, thumbs WAY up for Welker.

 

[Remix 6]

nay. i dont wanna give a big contract and a 2nd rounder for a slot WR and a returnman.

our return guys did equally as good if not better this year. Faulk was very good on PR

 

[stinkypete]

We don't know what OUR contract is yet - we only know what Miami would have to pay if they match.

In any event, while he'd not be my first choice at WR, he will be a big improvement over what we have, and I'll not second guess BB & SP.

Yea.

If a guy can catch 67 balls in that offense, imagine what he could do here!

The guy is the ultimate team player and a classic over acheiver. Sounds like a Patriot to me.

I don't know how anyone who has watched him play us twice a year for the past four, could not like this signing? It strenghtens our WR corps and weakens a division rival.

The only two (young) receivers that I would have liked them to go after were Curtis and Bennett. Stallworth isn't reliable both with his hands and his durability.

 

[Willie55]

It depends on the contract. If its anywhere near what the Dolphins would have to pay, I say no. But if its closer to the 6 yr./$18 mil that's been speculated on then I say yes.

 

[BelichickFan]

I'm a "no" but not a strong one. I would prefer to keep the pick and spend the money elsewhere. That said, I'm OK with it as it's a safe, sure way to use the #2.

I agree 100%

 

[Lampshade]

Yes.

Draft picks are overrated.

That's how I feel.

 

[DarrylS]

I vote unhesitatingly yes, this is a very good acquisition for this team at a good price.. the second pick is a crapshoot, this is a much surer thing.

Yep for me. He's quick, agile and has a proven track record in the NFL. I'll take a second for him.

Same here. Isn't there already a poll asking the same question though?

i agree here
it all depends on the contract
cuz if its not bad than its a yay
cuz ive been saying all along, we needed a wr that could contribute now, not two yrs from now
ive never been a huge fan of his, but i know ill come around once i see him start to play more

whats funny though is that bb has always said the second rd is his favorite
