Wes Welker is. . .

overrated. I'm talking Duke Blue Devils overrated. But more on that after football season.

(Pausing for Patriots fans to finish swearing at me)

Think about it. He caught like 120 passes and only scored 4 touchdowns, which ties him with Spencer Havner. Who? He's a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers. Yes, a linebacker. That means he plays defense. To Welker's credit though this season was an improvement over last year's 3 TD performance. So 7 TDs in 2 years makes you an elite wide receiver? I know there's more to the game than just touchdowns but great wide recievers score touchdowns.

What were you thinking when Welker got hurt? I know many Pats fans (other than you Jon) thought they would be fine with Julian Edelman taking over. Welker is being replaced by a Rookie 7th Round Pick who played quarterback in college and Pats fans aren't worried. And I agree with them. Edelman did a fine job when Welker was hurt earlier this year. Would I being saying the same thing if Edelman was playing in place of Randy Moss? No chance. That was like Scalabrine replacing Garnett in last year's playoffs and we all know how that ended. Yet Wes Welker was voted a Pro Bowler and Randy Moss only made it cause of the Welker injury.

So Patriots fans, look at the facts. Wes Welker is not that good. Not nearly as good as you think he is.
