Good to see him get paid. Looks like he and Brady will retire together.

That is gonna be one tough day for Pats fans.

When the rubber needs to meet the road it's a dead tie between Edelman and Gronk with Brown barely a hair's breadth back from them. With a game on the line you'd be hard pressed to do better than those three. Steak over sizzle I'd put them up against any trio from any other team's history.

DA deserves an honorable mention.

About ****ing time!

No player more deserving on the team. Edelman has been vastly underpaid his entire career, and was probably cramping up from vomiting so hard this offseason watching a bunch of JAG receivers get mega deals

Good for you, Jules!

With the game on the line give me Edelman, Brown, Gronk, or Amendola. All four made game saving circus catches a hobby.

Agree completely, lose two of their great player’s with only 9 Lombardi’s to show for it. It will suck.

It's hardly casting aspersions at PlayoffDola not putting him in the same 'clutch class' as Brown,Gronk or JE11. No sin coming in behind them, honorable mention is about right

Are you kidding? Welker was the spark in Superbowl 42!

Welker would be SuperBowl 42 MVP if Asante Samuel intercepts that throw, or referee declares Manning to be "in the grasp", or Rodney punches that ball out of the helmet.

Wes Welker has 11 catches for 103 yards in a 14-10 win if any of the above happens, and we're all talking Welker to Canton after his incredible 6 seasons of 672 catches!! including 3 times leading the league.

I love Edelman, but I don't see the need to throw shade at Welker's accomplishments.

Hullo? Post #87 after a lookup. Not throwing shade at Welker at all. He was great. Just not as 4th quarter clutch in playoffs as Edelman.

It’s fair to wonder if Edelman makes almost as much in endorsements as he does in his actual contracts.

Jules has been one of the greatest bargains for the Pats and has been for a long time. I wish him all the best going forward. He earned it.

The Receiver "helped" us win Zero titles during his time here...Edelman is now up there with Troy Brown, another player under-used earlier in his career, as Greatest Pats SR evah.

Troy Brown is my favorite Pat evah.

Besides both of us being old that's something else we have in common, hence my avatar.
Troy Brown may have already been here when The Hoodie arrived but, like Edelman, he's the kind of player was born to play for Bill Belichick.

In the meantime, I still don't think he's entirely to blame for that incompletion. Brady shoulders some of it.

Plus, it's interesting to see that Welker's playoff catch rate is noticeably higher than Edelman's (88 on 116 targets 75.9% vs 115 on 175 targets 65.7%).

Edelman just seemed to have come up bigger in the 4th quarters.

I blame Brady for the pass he threw. It was barely in reach for Welker after he spun around. I stopped arguing about it years ago.

Edelman does seem to have some drops at times, but in crunch time he's deadly.

He's as tough as nails too.

One of the best return men.

He also seems to be able to make extra yardage where there doesn't seem to be any.

I'm glad he's ours.

No Edelman? Lololololol. He’ll go down as either #2 or #3 best player of the dynasty. Heroic moments effing matter!!! Even worse, how could anyone rank Amendola ahead of him? That’s just trolling.

That’s not a knock on Amendola, as he was so money. Very hard to not include him...just not over Edelman. Removing Gronk from the list since he’s a tight end solves that problem.

Tanguay is insane...not all the time though...just when it counts LOL

You need to watch the play. Brady threw it where Brady had to throw it and where Welker knew he would. As Collingsworth said at the moment 100 times out of 100 Welker catches that pass. It was virtually a perfect pass if you pay attention to where the defenders were.

I have been critical of Brady as much as anyone in the past few years but I can't believe people still bring "the drop" up and say it was a bad pass. Welker was a AP WR, he is expected to make that catch each time.

Crazy Edelman is Second to Rice in Playoffs receiving yards and won't even sniff the NFL HOF.

There's enough Canton buzz around him that I think Edelman actually has a fighting chance. Not a huge chance by any means, but you know what that guy's always done with slim chances

This is a weird debate. On the one hand, Gronkowski is one of absolute greatest offensive players of all-time. It should be a silly question to ask whether or not anyone else is more valuable to Brady.

On the other hand - not just with a stacked team in 2016 - but many times it has seemed like the offense can still move the ball decently without Gronkowski, but they can be completely shut down without Edelman.

I’m pretty sure Brady’s with/without splits are pretty similar with each of them, and they’re striking in the difference in passer rating and PPG.

I’m going with Gronkowski as a much less confident choice than I would have thought logically. My brain just cannot past the absolute game destroyer he was on so many levels. He truly might be, in his prime, the most valuable skill player ever to lace them up. Sure says something about Edelman that this answer doesn’t come obviously from my observation.

There's no real mystery to it, Gronk has usually been backed up by a solid TE2, while our receivers room is usually straining its depth even with Edelman healthy.

If we didn't have Martellus Bennett in SB51 we would have been in a much weaker position. Earlier in his career of course we had The Murderer. Meanwhile Edelman has been, from a rest-of-the-NFL perspective, playing WAY over his head as the default WR1 and has had some pretty suspect characters behind him at times.

It's funny how reputations are changed on the finest margins. Edelman had a drop that led to an interception in the AFC Championship game against KC (and a possible fumble on a punt). He also had a number of drops in the Atlanta SB. If the Pats lose both then perhaps he gets the unfair Welker treatment.

shmessy said:
True. But he'd STILL have one more Patriots SB ring than Welker.

Not if Asante could catch.

Or if Stomper Merryweather could catch...or if Rodney could've hauled in another pass, right at the 2-minute warning (still pisses me off that a replay was never shown, even after returning from the commercial break!)...or if punk-ass b!tch Pierre Woods doesn't allow A FECKIN RB! to steal a fumble recovery (and probably at least 3 points) from him...or if OxyKaczur doesn't act like The Invisible Man on 3rd/7 to create an out-of-FG-range-in-Bill's-eyes 4th/13...and of course the whole 3rd & 5/Offensive Holding/helmet feckin catch thingy...
I do agree that $amuel probably made more difficult INTs than the one he didn't make there.

The SB win against the Sea Hawks and especially the Win against the Falcons have made me forget about those Giant

losses.
