September 10, 201510 yr comment_150079 Supposed to be a really good teammate. Has injury / concussion issues, which some say are why he has been blackballed from the league. Personally I think he'd be a good guy to have around. Knows how to win. Report
September 10, 201510 yr comment_150087 I worry too much for his health to put him on the field again. Report
September 10, 201510 yr comment_150091 I worry too much for his health to put him on the field again. Agreed. It's not like he could help get us to playoffs. Not worth it Report
September 11, 201510 yr comment_150094 I think some of this is Fox gaming the Packers. They have zero tape on Alshon or Royal in this offense, which really makes them play more of a vanilla coverage. Also, if any injuries linger, it is better to sign a vet after Week 1 so you can pay them week to week. Before Week 1, it is for the year (or something along those lines). Report
September 11, 201510 yr comment_150095 Agree * 10000. I said it during the offseason. Even without the injuries I'd like to see Welker on the team. He's a stud slot WR. Virtually uncoverable on the underneath routes. A perfect compliment to White and Alshon. Report

Virtually uncoverable on the underneath routes. A perfect compliment to White and Alshon. The problem there is Eddie Royal is best served out of the slot as well. I think Royal CAN play on the outside but he's much better in the slot. Report

September 11, 201510 yr comment_150107 Agreed. It's not like he could help get us to playoffs. Not worth it I think you hit the nail on the head with the playoffs. If the Bears were closer to being a playoff team then I would say yes. At this point we don't know what the Bears have, most don't think we are playoff bound. Getting younger players reps will help in the long run. Also Royal and Welker are very similar WR types. Report

September 13, 201510 yr comment_150165 I don't see why there can't be offensive alignments with two "slot" receivers.

Not to aid your point but don't the Pats run with two slot type receivers on Amendola and Edelman? Report
September 14, 201510 yr comment_150248 Not to aid your point but don't the Pats run with two slot type receivers on Amendola and Edelman? Pretty much. I'd don't care how tall, fast, strong, etc., some one is...I want WRs who get open. Wes Welker gets open. Report
September 15, 201510 yr comment_150301 Pretty much. I'd don't care how tall, fast, strong, etc., some one is...I want WRs who get open. Wes Welker gets open. Can't get open when you can't get on field due to injuries Report
