I mean JE is a great player but Cooks is certainly as good as JE They play different roles. Cooks 3 best years are better than JE's best three and Cooks had 1000+ yard seasons 3 years in a row. JE only has 2 1000+ yard seasons in his whole career. And it took him 5 years to do it in the same system with the GOAT QB. Cooks did it his 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th year and the last 3 were with 3 different QBs, teams, and systems in each year.
watEdelman is the ultimate slot receiver and has better hands than welker did.
Fans biased by one play.Wes Welker caught 112 balls one year with a 77.2% catch rate
JE never broke 70% in any year.
That is great but Cooks career is more impressive than JEs and what Cooks is doing now destroys what JE was doing when JE was Cooks age. You can look at tape and eye tests all you want. What matters is production and Cooks has had it. His paycheck reflects it and he deserves it.Like you have always said the tape don’t lie. Cooks usually top 3-5 in yards per catch. He’s a long ball receiver. Edelman grinds those yards out. Most everyone would say Cooks is a better receiver based on stats but we have been watching Edleman for years now, so personally we know how underrated he is and how essential he is to our offense. We seen those two play with TB, both did great, Edelman just did a little more for us.

Its sad. Next they can tell us how AV was more clutch than Gost.Fans biased by one play.
I live out of state and for some reason the SB win over the Falcons pretty much shut everyone up.I believe it. It was bad here, I cant imagine elsewhere
The rest of your post is right except Welker was not super clutch in the playoffs.It is fascinating, and very disappointing, to watch the continued underplaying of Welker as a player, on this board. Welker is the greatest slot WR of all time, had better hands that J.E., was a clutch player, and was the chain mover for an offense that was as potent as any in the history of the game. Yet, because he didn't say "Thanks, Bill!" when BB offered him a lower contract than he should have, Welker's somehow become the board whipping boy.
It says nothing good about the posters on this board that this has become the case. Then again, we've seen this nonsense play out, in one form or another, with the likes of Seymour, Mankins and others, too, so it's not surprising.

JE homers are funny. I have tangled with them many times.
Not surprising considering how many people think Edelman is better than Welker.That is great but Cooks career is more impressive than JEs and what Cooks is doing now destroys what JE was doing when JE was Cooks age.

Yeah really Jules actually drops a fair amount of passes, fortunately they are rarely in big moments.
Should have been the MVP of SB42.The rest of your post is right except Welker was not super clutch in the playoffs.
WW certainly benefited from playing the slot more exclusively than JE. Only because WW was just superior at it with incredible curability. I guess if JE played as much slot as WW his % would go up. But we can speculate as much as we like. I cant prove a negative. All I know is what was done. This is what the numbers look like below. Not everyone on this list played just the slot.Is that statistic adjusted for catchable throws? There’s a distinction.
Edelman runs a greater variety of routes and works down the field a lot more than Welker ever did.
Those downfield throws are obviously lower percentage than the short-area stuff Welker did.
