Welker & Moss 2.0

[Adam Seward]

Here’s to hoping this is a reach statement only for the short term.

That TD had a certain Brady to Moss-like quality to it. Semi-broken play throwing deep into double coverage.

Can't wait as the season goes along, as long as no major injures F*CK STEELERS we will get 6!!!!!!

Splitting those defenders in the EZ had a certain look to it.

Gordon plays a split second faster than the DB's covering him. All the great receivers possess this ability to react a split second quicker than the DB's. Edelman is like this.

Exactly. And that split second showed the most when the ball on that TD catch was about 5 feet from his hands. He positioned his body perfectly .001 seconds before the 2 defenders... and by the time they reacted the ball was in his hands.

I'm not sure who Welker's analog is supposed to be but I think it's probably White instead of JE, at least right now.

Almost, but not quite.

Though maybe you are talking about this one?

Mmmmm so close. It is Edelman

We had White all along but he isn’t the guy who opens everyone else up. Edelman is open so quick it demands serious attention from the defense. Once that is done, everyone else has a lot of breathing room.

Our complimentary weapons are stout. We didn’t have as many during most years.

Michels progression looks apparent, hopefully it continues. A reliable run game with two capable backs would be a great layer of redundancy.

White is Kevin Faulk.

And both Moss and Flash had the awareness to adjust their body positions to catch the ball in spit of being double covered. As soon as he caught that ball I had a flash of Moss in front of me.

Exactly. They both have those elite qualities.

Oh yeah, Brady has an elite TALL (6’3) wide receiver to throw to. Look out NFL.

Can we keep Gordon next season, correct me if I'm wrong if we put a 1st round tender on him someone would have to give us a first round pick to get him? He's a RFA, if he wanted to stay here would he have a choice?

 

[Observer]

Gordon is a long long way away from being spoken of in the same breath as Moss. He is a great asset for the team but the Moss comparison is overblown. I guess that just shows the dearth of WR talent we have had since Moss departed.

 

[RobertWeathers]

White is Kevin Faulk.

Boy. Thats a comparison to contemplate....

Very different but equally important players.

Gordon is an RFA in 2019

Yes! that's the Moss catch Gordons catch last night reminded me of.

Moss was one of a kind.

For Flash to be even compared to him is of the highest compliments.

 

[BobDigital]

Gordon is such a moron. He had the chance to rightfully be put in a similar catagory to Moss if he just did things different.

We should be discussing who is the best WR in the NFL right now between Hopkins/Jones/Brown/Gorden

Here is an interesting question. Let's say Gordon put down the weed and stayed fully committed to football for the last 5 years. Would he be the best WR in the NFL right now?

Why and why not?
