Go back and read your posts again. Because of the context of the discussion, you were cleary implying that Johnson could have gotten it done if he'd just had more opportunities.
You are absolutely correct Dues and you should go back and read it too because the context of that discussion was that had Wes been hurt on Week 1 Chad would have been able to get it done. But the context of get it done was something similar to Reche and you then turned around and laughed implying I was saying Chad would catch 120 balls and I implied no such thing.
Every single one of them was brought in under similar circumstances.
Reche's situation - The only WR you could consider better than him was Troy who was in his second to last year of playing with Watson as the best TE.
The players you mentioned - Jackson, Johnson, Gabriel, and Hayes
None of those players were thrown into the fire as the number one receiver on the team and if they were thrown into number 2 the number one receiver was much better than Troy that year and they all had equal TEs if not much much better. In some of these cases the option better might have been reche himself but still there none the less.
Not similar situations sorry.
No, I have it in my mind that Wes Welker is the player around whom the receiving corps revolves, and is the player, besides Brady, who is most responsible for keeping the offense moving. I have it in my mind that replacing that player will take more than "Bring in a JAG, and pretty much any JAG will do!".
Again you fail to miss what my point is which is not that any JAG can replace Wes my point is that any JAG can replace half of what Wes gave you and talent already on the roster or that will round out the roster can replace most of the rest leaving you at least pretty close production wise again this might mean you are not the number one offense in the whole league but I think this still would leave you top 5 or 10.
You're confusing hope and opinion with fact.
Your plan continues to be hope in one hand....
Its not just hope and opinion fact is that there are plenty of ways to skin a cat and have a successful offense. Fact is there are more players in the NFL that are capable of catching passes. Fact is that even without Wes you still have more talent on the offense than many of the other successful seasons with Tom has your QB and BB as Your Coach.
And yes finally it is my opinion that we can replace Wes and still be a team capable of competing for a championship even if Wes' replacement were some JAG. Not that it should be the plan but it I feel it is possible.
