R.Moss is better than #85. R.Moss is one of the best ever and is coming off setting a record for TD catches.
Welker is better than SM or ARE
Stallworth is about the same as SM and is better than ARE
Watson is just as good as Cooley. He just doesn't get the same amount of balls thrown his way.
NE has Brady and we don't.

Are you saying that we aren't going 16-0 next year?

stallworth is not as good as moss hes just on a good team. welker is good but again look at whos playin around him. Santana is the man and any true fan knows that, he just can't stay healthy. when healthy he is a legit #1 reciever

Not even CJ would be required for us to use this strategy, just someone who can play the role of #1 WR.

Berrian, Randy Moss (not likely and I hope not), maybe even a sleeper like Bryant Johnson, D. J. Hackett or Andre Davis.

Who knows, maybe Randel El can be our #1. He certainly stepped up last season.

Stallworth is probably out the door with NE. They didn't pick up his contract and the Titans may be interested in him.

I think we'd have a better WR corp with the addition of Johnson.

CJ, Moss, ARE...plus we have quality depth in Thrash, McCardell, Caldwell and possibly Mix and/or Espy.

They'd have (the evil) Moss, Welker, but after that just Gaffney and Kelley Washington...no real depth past #2.

What, Welker has not even been a starter for an entire year. He started like 4 games for the Dolphins and 13 games last year. Why is everyone here jumping on Welker for one good year and that was playing with the best WR to draw double coverage and Brady throwing him the ball. He may have ran across the middle but I don't recall him taking this bounding that people are taliking about. Maybe we need to see him start more than 17 games over 4 seasons before we crown him king of the hill.

I agree with you, most of the recent success should be credited to the system rather then the player. Dont get me wrong Welker is really good, but how good is he on an average middle of the pack team?????

I wasn't really pointing to the fact that it could be to the system but more so that he has only started in 17 games and 13 last year. If he can put up those number again next year then maybe he gets elevated as a very good WR but 17 games is not very much to judge him by. Heck if we only went by 17 games then JC needs to go.

I should have put a period after "I agree with you". Because everything I wrote after that was based on my own thoughts of the player. I hear what you are saying as well and think he needs to show us more before we crown him!

What do "IMO" mean

[BleedBurgundy]

Welker didn't take a pounding because he was quick to fall down before he got beaten. Graduated from the Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce School of Career Extension.

Nothing wrong with that. Anytime you catch 110+ balls you've got to know when to get down and know when to try and extend the play.

I love that comment! Being stuck here in St Louis, I know first hand how the Lambs avoid contact. I think Isaac Bruce perfected the technique and taught it to Torry Holt, who took it to another level.
