Edelman has zero shot. Nada. Zip! He was a part of teams that went to 6 straight AFCCG’s and 4 Super Bowl appearances. So he had many opportunities to make plays in big games. But his regular season numbers were pedestrian. If he was on bad to mediocre teams, he’d be irrelevant.
Ditto with Welker. He was that random annoying player with Miami who was cut by SD, but not well known until he played with Tom Brady. Welker racked up stats during his time in NE, but only went to two AFCCG’s and one Super Bowl due to the team’s major deficiencies on D holding them back. Although those drops in the 2011 Super Bowl and 2012 AFCCG were brutal, it was not the reason they lost.
Welker easily wins 3 had he started when JE did in 2013. If I had to chose, it would be Welker.
