Don't need to be much of a football scholar to see a catchable ball

The 2012 New England Patriots
- Thread starter Jason A
- Start date
That was 70% Brady 30% Welker IMO. Brady was throwing passes behind guys all night, not to mention that ridiculous safety on the first offensive play from scrimmage something a veteran QB should never do. Had Welker caught that ball, and the Pats eventually won, he'd still be getting his walking papers now. I don't see how the team is better off, but time will tell.
Re: The 2012 New England Patriots
I have to trust they feel they did the right thing. For the most part they have been pretty successful with moves. (A. Thomas aside) When Milloy was let go I wondered and it turned out ok. Law, less successful move. Heck, Edelman wasn't much of a dropoff from Welker. Maybe they looked at stats and film with Welker out and felt somebody else could do the job too. And I have to be honest, I was getting real frustrated with the "offense in a phone booth' approach anyway.
So I don't mind if Gorganzola only catches 70 passes next year if that means wideouts catch more. No, I don't know who those wideouts will be but i wuold just like to see them throw the ball more than 15 yards in the air once in a while.
Welker is also probably 1-2 concussions away from retiring and 1 knee injury away from the same outcome and he plays in a manner that accumulates those injuries...he has been beaten up over the last few years...if RB's only have so many yards in them, receivers probably can't continue to make 100+ catches a year getting hammered by LB's and S's indefinitely.

Tommy threw many passes that would caught by purple browns in January. We're those welker's fault too?

What does that have to do with the last Super Bowl NE was in? Anybody with eyes knows Tommy ain't what he once was, I think marriage took his legs
