So, they’re taking it slow with Welker- knowing he’s not going to sign with another team until he knows the Patriots are not interested.

If the rumor is true that the Vikings are interested in Wallace, that’s a pretty good sign Harvin may be available- but he won’t come cheap.

Drop against Ravens? Right between the 8 and the 3. That was a flat out DROP!

After Paul Kruger leaves he will disappear just like the others.

Nobody knew who Tom Brady was before he played with the Patriots. Nobody knew who Jerry Rice was before he played with the 49ers. In other words, your comment means absolutely nothing. Thanks for playing.

Really ? Can’t win ?

Since spygate – more regular season wins than any other team, division champ all but one year and 11-5 that year, 2 AFC champion banners.

That’s an awful lot of not winning lol. And yeah they didn’t win the SB the last 2 times they were in it but so what ? Those seasons were so enjoyable that while it sucked no to win the SB there were so many moments that Pats fans could revel in that sad fans like you of loser teams can only steam and stomp your feet like small petulant children.

That statement also shows your ignorance of what information the sideline taping gave them, ie; nothing more than an offensive assistant gets every game for every team. Yeah it made it a bit easier to collate that info, but any coach so stupid as to not change their signals around regularly gets what they deserve anyway.

Brady needs Welker, otherwise Brady is easily beatable in the Playoffs. It doesn’t matter the regular season because the AFC Least is so weak. Pay da man!

Or not… Brady won more in the playoffs before Welker. I think Welker’s lack of production in big games has hurt the Patriots even though he has played so well in the regular season.

Oh really…How did the Patriots do against the Ravens in Foxboro in 2010 Playoffs when they didn’t have Welker? The Patriots have played a much closer game the last two years with Welker in the game. Brady needs Welker a lot more than Welker needs Brady.

Seriously, quit hating on Brady dude. It makes you look pathetic.

3 more years with Brady and Welker gets into the HOF, if he goes anywhere else and doesn’t get 100 plus cathes he becomes good because of Brady and not HOF. If he goes to another team and gets 100 plus for 3 years he gets in as well.

How many millions is the jacket worth? Sign for 4 years 32 million 18 Guarenteed.

“Would you get over the “cheating” aspect of every conversation regarding NE.. That was how long ago?”

I believe it was 2007 when the got in trouble. 2 years after winning 3 of the previous 4 Superbowls. They’re 0′fer since.

===========================

It’s important to note – Rocky Bleier caught that same ball for a TD in Super Bowl XII. And Rocky was shorter than Welker.

It’s not a poorly thrown ball – it’s the correct throw in certain situations. If you can get both hands on it, like Welker did, you should be catching it.

Welker had 111 catches and a Pro Bowl berth in 2008 with high-school QB Matt Cassel throwing to him

He also had 67 catches with the Dolphins despite being primarily a kick / punt returner catching passes from Joey Harrington and Cleo Lemon

If Welker was such a no-talent nobody who was a product of the Patriots and Brady, why did the Pats invest a 2nd round pick to trade him from the Dolphins?

I think, as the article alludes to, he already knows the reference point. What waiting a week does is allow him to publicly disclose that reference point, to either attempt to cajole the Pats into giving more $ or to attempt to assuage any hard feelings with the Boston faithful as he shows them the caboose.
