Oh my God - according to you, first Welker wasn't worth the money, then he's an awesome player. He sold his soul, then probably didn't know what was going on. You're full of it buddy.

I especially love how you keep saying the Pats cheat, then point out that they didn't win.... they must be really bad cheaters, huh?

And for the record, yeah I believe they cheated too - that isn't the topic here - This was a thread about a good kid who finally got a chance to show his talent and you crapped all over the thread. Thanks a lot.

He IS an awesome player. But he hadn't proven himself or reached his potential until he got to the Patriots*. In fact, he may be still climbing. But at the time, the Patriots* offered him what they thought he was worth to them financially.

I also allowed for him maybe not knowing what he was getting himself into but I had reservations about whether he really was oblivious due to the fact that many teams around the league, as it has come out, were aware of what the Patriots* were up to and Welker is far from being a total idiot.

He wanted the best opportunity for a Championship as does everybody. Whether he was aware before he signed the dotted line or not, he went to a team that was caught cheating. He is now a member of a team that will be known for cheating. You win as a team and you lose as a team.

I pointed out the fact that the Patriots* lost in the last two playoffs and that Welker was one of the keys to their success this season. That doesn't mean the Patriots* were not cheating in those past two seasons. You are incredibly naive to think that the act of cheating will gaurantee a win. You still need to field a quality team and they still need to strap on the pads.
