The question should be, who is Tom's favorite?
I just think people are prisoner of the moment. Welker made many clutch plays. He wasn't able to make a miraculous catch but it happens.
Fair or not, Welker will be associated with 18-1 & the " drop". Edelman will be associated with 3rd & 11 and the "Boston knee party" play.
It's not that simple. Welker routinely dropped passes. Especially crucial ones. I'm pretty sure he led the league in drops at least one season. I would go with JE just because I trust him more. And the catch that Welker dropped would not have been even remotely miraculous. It was thrown slightly behind him. NFL WRs make that catch 999 times out of 1000.
Edelman has been near the top in drops in every season as our #1 WR.
I don't get the Welker hate. Both are all-time great Patriots.
I like Edelman as a player better simply because of his personality, and yes he's bee instrumental in two titles, but to diminish anything Welker has ever done for this team is absurd,
Nah ahHas to be the most boring overdone question in the history of the Patriots.
We are 2-0 in the big game with Edelman. 0-2 with Wes. Wes is less clutch in the big game.
