Yeah, you guys love him. He's too old, too small, too slow, he's just a system guy, and he can easily be replaced by a guy who has done nothing. Such respect, he should be flattered and take the garbage offer the Patriots made just to satisfy their dumbassed fans who know nothing about football but everything about Madden, where height, speed, and better combine numbers matter much more than your actual performance as a player.
In all the time I have followed the Patriots i have never seen anything like the disrespect that has been heaped on welker. It's as disgraceful as it is ungrateful and ignorant, and anyone who has actually paid attention to his performance on the field instead of his height should know that. You would like to think that a player who has conducted himself the way Welker has and has performed the way Welker has would be revered by fans who clamor for those qualities in every player, instead he gets crapped on by those who think Madden ratings trump actual play.
Much as i love this team the Welker situation and his treatment by the Patriots and by Patriot fans has really disgusted me.
BTW Ken, the same haters made the same arguments last year, and the fact that they are back making them again demonstrates that this has nothing to do with reality, as Welker obliterated their arguments with his performance, just as he always has. Apparently playing like a HOF player doesn't matter to many Patriot fans.
Bottom line Ken, I'm pissed off about the crap people are talking about Welker, and while I wouldn't start a thread about I will continue to respond when people keep taking craps on him.
