Not looking foward to Denver game

[BProland85]

From a ratings perspective, it will be huge. But from a game perspective, I dont think it will even be close. Especially after they signed Wes Welker and Louis Vasquez and we really havent gotten much better in free agency in my opinion.

 

 

[Nadine]

Hope you are wrong

but yeah, I see what you are saying

[Mr.Debonair]

Is it not March? Lol

They signed Welker...???  When did this happen?

 

    Just got home, and I hadn't seen the news yet.

an average guard and a old slot wr yea im scared.

Vasquez is a very good starting OG and would have been the best OL on our team if we had signed him. Welker is consitently putting up big numbers despite being 31 years old. With Peyton Manning as his QB, his stats shouldnt change much.

You know how Peyton Manning had a practically retired, 36 year old Brandon Stokley making impact plays for the Broncos?  Yeah... a 31 year old Wes Welker still at the top of his game is going to be awfully dangerous in Denver.

[Tark The Shark]

I think it should be a very interesting game.

 

I personally am looking forward to this game.

hm lets see try to stop thomas or decker or try to stop stokley. tough choice.

the guy was just overhyped by the posters on here.

[James]

We wont be able to stop Thomas, Decker, Welker, Tamme, Dreessen.

Ok, and you just shot your own argument right in the head.

 

Now instead of 2 great recievers to figure out who to cover, they have 3, 1 of which being the most productive reciever over the last 6 years.

 

Now, being a Colts fan, you no doubt believe Manning has always been better than Brady. So if Brady has gotten what he has out of Welker, even after an ACL tear, what do you think Peyton can get out of him?

[BProland85]

Who Vasquez or Welker? Either way they werent overhyped. Welker's numbers speak for themself, and Vasquez was the 2nd best OG in free agency and cost a good bit less than we paid for Cherilus, the 3rd rated RT in free agency behind Vollmer and Smith.

vasquez. the chargers line allowed rivers to be third most sacked qb last year

[BProland85]

You think Vasquez is to blame for that? He was the only good OL they had. And he has gotten better every year from reading reports on him. There are 5 men on the OL. Vasquez cant block for all of them.

not really because welker cant do anything but play the slot. welker was a nobody before he went the patriots. you expect him to have the same production at 32 with a weak armed qb.

[BOTT]

When did Vasquez turn into a modern day John Hannah?

[CR91]

no it doesnt fall all on him but it is worth mentioning.

[John Waylon]

Vasquez is one man. There are 5 others responsible for those numbers, as well, the one being most to blame being Rivers himself. He holds the ball way too long.

Yes, hard to believe a guard was payed less than a tackle.

i already commented on that

[TrueBlueHorseshoe]

Awful lot of seers in here.  Being able to see the future is a neat trick.  We haven't even reached the draft yet, let alone played a single PRESEASON game, yet it's already known we're going to get blown out by Denver at home.

 

Let's just take a breath and step back from the ledge, people.

[RGIII]

Welker's role in Miami was limited but he flashed much of the potential there that the Patriots eventually got out of him.  There's a reason they identified him as a player they wanted and gave the Dolphins 2nd and 7th round picks for him.

Ok, I give in. Welker can "only play the slot".

 

Who has made more of slot recievers than Peyton Manning?

 

And "weak armed qb"?

 

What does that even mean?

 

Am I suddenly living in a paralell universe where you have to have a huge arm to make good use of a slot reciever?

 

You're out of your element here, man. Adding Wes Welker to that offense was the best thing they could have done.

by weak arm i mean peyton cant zip it anymore and throws too many ducks.

Did you even read my post?  Welker looked good with Joey Harrington throwing him the ball.

you said flashes. its not like he was their main option on offense

[John Waylon]

Ok, so they are putting three great recievers into the secondary making double coverage near impossible, meaning Peyton won't have to put all that zip on the passes because he's not going to have to be throwing it through such a small window.

 

There is just no logical way to turn this into a bad move, and you may be the only person on the planet who believes it is.

He was their second leading receiver in yards and led the team in receptions.

well since your not putting up stats im led to believe it wasnt much

Chad Johnson was awesome

maybe so, but its fun being the black sheep sometimes

chad johnson never played

If you were willing to do your own homework maybe you'd have a more informed opinion on the subject ;)

[BPM_Colt]

yeah..

 

don't want to play the Broncos, Niners, or Seahawks next year. and we have all 3

[BOTT]

Guess that was an imposter on the field

[HGRekks]

Here's the point about Denver: Thomas and Decker can play anywhere. Even if Welker wasn't capable of playing the outside (which he did in 2 WR sets for the most part), he doesn't have to. That's a scary good combination.

[CR91]

hes on the sideline more then on the field
