That just seems like a awful lot more games. do they count games where Julian played only as a returner and things like that? or are these games started at receiver? I think that makes a difference. even so, as much as Welker hated being a Patriot he was a great player and his contributions should not be diminished just because Edelman is a true blue New England Patriot for life type guy.

Honestly it's some of the way these players act nowadays that's also turning me off of football. it's not just the NFL and their bullshit. Or the networks and their bullshit. or the rules and that bullshit. it's all kind of conspiring together to make me less interested.

There used to be real rivalries where they actually hated each other. Now it's a pat on the ass and a warm embrace for the opponents. It's become a "Millionaire's Boys Club".

Yes Homo!!

Yes, Welker was a more prolific regular season WR. It's natural his yds/game are higher. However...

1. Walker came to NE as an established receiver and was the 2 in the most pass crazy 1-2 passing offense. Whereas Edelman was not even the #4 option early in his career. His early games were not seeing a lot of opportunities. That alone will skew the yards/game stat in favor of Welker.

2. Post season. Enough said.

Give me Edelman 10 out of 10 times over Welker.

1959-11-19: On this day in Professional Football History: The eighth and final American Football League franchise was awarded to the city of Boston. The group was headed by William H. Sullivan. “Boston was awarded the franchise over four other cities,” Sullivan stated. The cities were Cincinnati, Kansas City, Philadelphia and St. Louis.
Probably the biggest obstacle facing the new team was where they were going to play. They would need to have 25,000 fans per game just to break even. The new franchise had spoken with Fenway Park, Harvard Stadium and Braves Field. A new stadium was built at Boston College, but it only held 26,000...
“We have nothing definite, although Boston University, Fenway Park, Boston College and Harvard Stadium are possibilities. We will take a two-year lease with a renewal option. By that time, Norwood Stadium should be ready. That would be 1962,” Sullivan said.
Boston has fielded two different professional football teams in the past. The Boston Braves/Redskins existed from 1932-1936 then moved to Washington in 1937 and was known as the Washington Redskins.
The other team was known as the Boston Yanks. They played from 1944-1948. The Yanks folded after the conclusion of the 1948 NFL season. “When pro teams failed here before, there was no income from television, and people did not have cars to travel long distances as they can now. This is no hit or miss proposition. The money is in the bank,” Sullivan said.

Norwood Stadium...?

Without stating the obvious, Edelman held onto the ball better in big spots. And I’m saying that as someone who was an apologist for Welker in 2012 and 2013, and also as a fan of his.

Edelman had plenty of big drops. People cut him slack because the team won some SBs with him. Welker gets shit on because the team didn't win it all during his tenure (and Welker's postseason numbers, nevermind his regular season numbers, should earn him better than that, but fans are gonna fan).

I don’t disagree. But one made the play in the biggest game and the other dropped it. Unfair or not, that’s life as an athlete.
