Is wes welker > smitty

[hepcat]

It's almost impossible to compare two different players in different systems. However, I think the answer becomes clearer if you think what Smitty could do with Brady vs. Welker with Delhomme or Moore.

Either way, they are both great players.

Correct. Flash back to '01, slap Steve Smith with Tom Brady and 89 has a HOF career. Wes Welker only decided to be a receiver when he signed with the Patriots. Seem to remember him kicking extra points at one point in his career.

Also look at their career YPC averages and Smith is obviously the better of the two.

bumped because both are having career years right now

Wes is a better route runner than Smitty, but that's it.

Brady/Belichick vs Fox/Clausen

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

No.

Since Welker started

Smith

Yards: 6,688

TD: 42

Failker

Yards: 5,657

TD: 23

Which one of those stat lines would you rather have? ;]

(sorry if its been posted but im drunk) not to mention what smitty did in a run first offense. He did some serious work seasons we ran more than we passed, most of the top receivers cannot say that. that is all. beditme.

[ItsPantone278]

Smith is better downfield, run after catch, and you can throw him a jump ball.

Both are tough, but I'd have to give the physicality edge to Smitty as well.

As far as 15 yards in, Welker is better. Better route runner, better hands(not that Smith's are bad), but thats really about it.

Smitty > Welker always.

[beastson]

Come on man is this really a question ?

[o_O]

Welker > Smith

Belichick < Fox

Brady < post-surgery Delhomme, Moore, Clausen

I think I see what he did.

[Carolina Fan]

Career wise? No contest

last year? sure why not

Put Welker on the outside and try do what Smitty do. Then try put Smitty in the slot and try do what Welker do.

Smitty can do anything Welker can but Welker cant do half of what Smitty does.

True, but the guy refused to believe welker is ever in the slot, at the time of the back and fourth bashing with him, I blatantly said you must never of seen an offense posession by your beloved pats if you think welker isn't a slot receiver.

He also said revis is scared of welker thats why he never covers him, I laughed for a good 5 minutes.

And btw thanks for the bump raging bull, forgot about this thread.
