Hall of Famer
I don't think it needs to be said, but Wes Welker played simply unreal last night. With 5 games remaining, Welker needs to average about 25 yards per game to reach 1,000!
To me, last night seemed like a turning point for white WR's in the NFL. To watch him dominate each week has been the highlight of the season for me personally.
Watch for more Welker-Esque wideouts to emerge and/or get opportunities. The important part about what he's done this season is the fact that every NFL fan/coach/owner/GM/scout is watching the Patriots closely each game...and probably hoping they'll lose.
The funny part is, while I watched Wes Welker play in college a couple years ago, I remember thinking how he'll never have a chance in the NFL (not as a result of his talent, obviously). I figured he'd get cut in training camp before the 1st preseason game. How sickening is that? It's happened 1,000 times to white WR's with much more natural talent that Welker...
God only knows how many of these NCAA stars has fallen by the wayside (future Hall of Famers, 1,000 yrd seasons, Pro-Bowls, etc). So many of these guys could have given me a reason to actually care about football...Edited by: Thrashen
