yeah ... good article. Almost didn't read it.
much of what we know but some history there that's kind of interesting.
It is kind of amazing that he can't get a 4.4 40 but gets open so often.
Speed isn't everything ... too bad you can't teach what he's got.

Nice article. I was happy with the trade when it happened and really happy with it now. He really compliments Moss in the passing game.

You must be 'the natural's parents," said Briles, turning to Wes' mother, Shelley, and his father, Leland.

"Yes," Shelley replied, "we are the natural birth parents."

that was pretty cool

Patriots got lucky with Welker. The league should have vetoed the trade. I mean Saban trades one of his top two offensive players to his aZZ buddy Belichick? On the way out the door? For a bag of Fritos?

Haha, try and keep up, he was an RFA and tendered a 2nd round offer by the 'lphins and the Pats offered him a contract with a poison pill for Miami. Rather than fight it out with the Pats, the 'lpins traded him for a 2nd and a 7th. Which allowed us to sign him to a more reasonable contract. Yes it was a great deal for us. But lets face it, the 'lphins wouldnt be any better with him anyway!

I saw some parallels between Welker's frustration with being passed over in the draft and Tom Brady's as described in "Moving the Chains." That was a great article.

What is it that allows Belichick and Pioli to see gold where everyone else sees sand?

I don't know what it is but I'm relieved they found a home with the Patriots.
