He missed 20 of the past 32 games and had a bad heel that limited him in 5 more. But, he is impossible to cover. I think he runs those two way option routes just as well as Welker. Not as fast in a straight line, though.

Week 2/3 he was producing like past Welker. Edelman got hurt in December. He started slow, and I thought the phase out thing was put to bed a long time ago?
Jets extended Sanchez. Makes sense you can recognize a dumb move.
Like some other posters have said initially like first three games Pats were trying to phase him out. If I remember correctly his snap count was down, and Edelman started in the second game. His stats don't really reflect that because it was clear early Edelman was not the guy, and the Pats had some injuries. Early on there is no doubt the Pats were trying to replace Welker with Edelman, but then had to change.
Like I said Welker didn't really start out slow Pats kept his snaps down.
Edit: He was still very effective when he was out there because of the chemistry between Brady and Welker, but the Pats were definitely trying to phase him out. It's just that Welker is too good.

Er...so what does this do for the Broncos? Does Decker become the Harry Douglas of the Broncos offense?
Edelman started over Welker week 2 against the Cardinals. In that game, Hernandez hurt his ankle and missed a couple of weeks, and Welker started again the next week. Had everyone stayed healthy Welker would have been phased out, but he was forced back into the lineup by necessity.
Is Kraft gonna have a patch for new girlfriend?
Are the Jets going to win six games this year?

Hopefully not.
First overall pick and Rex Ryan getting his fat ass terminated in November should be the two primary goals of the season.
If Johnson had any balls he'd already be gone.

So BB looked at the Rams offense of 2 years ago and decided he had to get some of that.

When someone is hitting on your mom you usually don't become friends.
Also speaking of great titties I flipped through American Idol and stopped for a second to appreciate Mariah's magnificent breasts.

jesus can you imagine that geriatric fuck having sex with her? makes me disgusted thinking about it.
Wtf, Deacon? I can't leave you guys alone for a second...
Amendola is good, Welker is better and he's not made out of glass. Between Gonk, Danny and Hernandez, I predict they'll play a total of 20 games.
For Myra.

He's like a 24 year old Vincent Jackson that has had 8 knee surgeries
I'll take your word for it, but it sounds like bullshit to me.
If he was trying to phase out Welker, it proves Belicheck was a dumbass handling it. Who gives a shit if the guy produces out of his mind and wants to get paid for it the following year? He's still on your team, and is better than Edelman. You are still paying him to play that year. So you are telling me that want to phase out a paid asset, for a guy that is making less and is not as productive? Silly.
I'd take the answer of McD playing around with different play sets or even a little slap for 2 games. A full on phase out doesn't make sense, even with injuries. He was too valuable in that offense.
Only 2 ? You'd think he'd try and get something long term unless he hoping to boost his value in those 2 years and come back for huge contract. Is Avril the one that wanted Mario Williams type money?
If you play him less he is worth less on the free market. That way Welker stays a dirty poor or the Pats can wrap him up for a lot less.
Class organization!
I only heard 2 year w/ 15 million. That's estimate by ESPN
It''s not BS and yes Bill is a dumbass for pulling that stunt with Welker.

Get him cheap.
Yeah, I get it, but if you aren't utilizing your best players during the current season to save $2 million dollars later, it's not a good move.
Maybe so, maybe Amendola might work out better. Only time will tell I guess.

Pats need to get a big receiver now.
Wait you're shitting on the Pats RBs? What's wrong with them?

Quit being mean to the Pats.
Maybe? Sure it could possibly turn out better but you are replacing a guy who has more catches than every other player in the past 6 years vs a guy that struggles to get on the field. Besides Tom only has 2-3 years left, why risk it in the first place?
