Welker gone....

[JackK]

Welker did not lead the league in drops. That was Jimmy Graham. Calvin Johnson had more drops than Welker.

The move makes no sense now that they've brought in Amendola. Welker would have continued catching ~100 per year for the next few years while the window is still there. His stats showed no significant downward trend. Why get rid of a proven commodity who has great chemistry with your QB for an unproven, more expensive, injury prone option?

Not to mention we have two tight ends that work the middle of the field already.We need a big,sideline receiver.End of story.

[Slipknot]

percentage-wise, Welker is behind 5 other receivers

only Calvin Johnson caught more balls than he did but Johnson also had 32 more balls thrown his way

he may have dropped more balls that someone considered catchable, but he had more thrown to him


it should be about production not dropped balls


yes we need a big sideline guy who can go up and get the ball

maybe Josh M. is wrecking the team
