Soo...im in a text chat and some NE fan who became a fan in '01, says welker is greater than smitty. Of course i laugh at his comment and the arguement escalades to him sayin welker a true number 1 and smitty just a slot wr. I laugh harder this time telling him smith rarely ever in the slot, welkers game is only the slot. Bandwagon fans are hilarious.

Whats everyones opinion on the 2

welker has produced more than 89 lately so i could see why they think he is better. plus they dont get to watch him do all they little things he does, just like we dont see all of patriots games

True, but ability, heart and the athlete smith is far outweighs welker. Not to mention the vast difference in QBs and offenses.

this... /thread

seriously... and i fugin' hate the patriots, but this is logical and reasonable.

I don't completely agree. Welker's 2010 season is close (I think worse) than Smith's 2009 season. When you compare who was throwing the ball, Smith is clearly the better of the two.

Unless you are going based on last season alone, I don't see how Welker is better.

Welker's more of a possession type, kind of a master of route-running underneath, but not much of a deep threat. Smith is more chameleonic, he runs routes soundly and he can burn a CB, outrun a CB, and I think he can jump higher than Welker against a corner (Welker doesn't have to do this often as his QB doesn't throw wounded ducks). Plus, he's had to get a lot more of his career yards against no.1 corners than Welker has had.

If they're on the same team Smith is the no.1 receiver and Welker is the no.2 receiver.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
