That shouldn't surprise anyone. Welker was the much better player.

 

[ItsGonnaBeMaye]

Playoff choker Welker was useless.

Edelman was vastly superior.

 

[Deus Irae]

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.

Again, Edelman had his drops too, and Welker played well in SBs. It's not about him dropping/not dropping. It's actually about a zero blitz, and it's about 2011's defense, and it's about him going to his third SB in Denver instead of New England.



Welker's SBs:

14 targets, 11 catches, 103 yards in 2007
8 targets, 7 catches, 60 yards in 2011
10 targets, 8 catches, 84 yards in 2014



Edelman's Atlanta SB:


13 targets, 5 catches, 87 yards in 2017

Nonsense. And by nonsense, I mean that your post is actually retarded and should be on the short bus.

Welker didn't win a SB in Denver. He has the same number of SBs as I do, but he played significantly more games in the NFL than I have.

My post is easily the most intelligent thing that has been posted on any sports related message board within the last decade.

Excuse me, and you're correct. I meant that he got to his 3rd SB in Denver, not New England. I corrected the post.

Whoa, whoa, calm down there. I am the resident genius here.

You are pretty wise though. Much respect.

Why did you leave out 2014 and 2018?

 

[Deus Irae]

Why did you leave out 2014 and 2018?

Because it's the ATL game that people are thinking about when they talk about Edelman's SBs. Yet Welker never had a 13 target/5 catch game in any SB he played.

The 7 misses for Edelman just in the ATL game is more than Welker had in all 3 of his SB appearances combined (26 catches on 32 targets).

You should always include the full body of work when running a comparison instead of limiting it to a sample size that fits your point. He was a monster in both 2014 and 2018. Did Welker ever hold onto one of these in the biggest game?

I thought not. And, again, I’m a Welker fan. But Pats fans are going to remember Edelman more fondly, and their reasons for doing so are more than valid.

You can't say Welker didn't make the catches in the playoffs when he had the superior catch percentage in the playoffs. You can't say that Edelman didn't make drops when Edelman had drops and failed connections. But those things don't register because people just forgive Edelman because they won.


That's the point. The reasons may be "valid" as you put it, because the team won, but they're not because Edelman was the better player, which was the issue.

Jew all nose why Deus is so passionate about Welker over Edelman. He likes Welker but doesn't kike Edelman for some reason.
