Naaaaaaah. He's the product of a system because Randy Moss gets double coverage.
That was a joke by the way. That argument is BS because it makes the assumption that Randy Moss is the ONLY receiver in the NFL who ever gets double covered. Theres quite a few receivers who get double covered, yet you don't see other receivers putting up the numbers Welker puts up.
Thats how it is for white skill players (besides qb). When they put up amazing numbers, theres always the "yeah, but..." or "if it wasn't for..." or in this case the "any receiver in his situation could do that".
I've had that argument before. Other than Cris Carter, who was an established star when Moss entered the league, what who played opposite Moss had Welker's production? Exactly none.
