and a 41 yarder with seconds left on the clock to win SB XXXVIII.
Of course, he only had to make that one because he blew two kicks earlier in the game...

Don't hold your breath. Bill Buckner has a better chance to see the Sox paint his number on the grandstand than the weasel retiring as a Pat.yes, but it does need a little time maybe if Welker comes back after next season or something then it will heal faster but we will reconcile with him eventually.
Welker and Edelman aren't that much different in how they approached free agency.
Welker:
Wasn't happy with Patriots offer
Went looking for others
Found an offer in Denver
Asked Patriots to match it -- an offer that the Patriots themselves say was less than what the Patriots offered
Patriots say they've moved on
Edelman: (two seasons in a row)
Wasn't happy with Patriots offer
Went looking for others
Found none to his liking
Asked Patriots if their offer was still on table
It was, and signed it
Why exactly is Welker crucified because the Patriots choose to pull their offer and sign Amendola instead? Whereas Edelman is not thought of in any negative manner for acting the same way?
I think Bill for some reason hates Welker; I just don't know why as Welker basically played hard, didn't do anything wrong (other than make a comment that he thought was funny once), and never complained
He wasn't with the Pats all that long and he will have spent a minority of his career with the team. .
You're a fool. Go away away.Here is a fan who actually has common sense that isn't clouded by homerism and childish bravado. By the same standards that Welker is criticized, Edelman would get the same stuff if people actually had appreciation for the players here and what they've done or at least tried to do. Edelman tried thee same thing, but teams knew he wasn't as good as Welker and he just didn't get the same kind of deal so people act blind to the fax that he tried to do the same thing. They are both hard working players that should be celebrated for the hard work they put in for this franchise. Personally, I think it would be hilarious to see what would happen if Brady ended up on another team how many in here would call him overrated and average the minute he was gone. I remember seeing some of the dumbest arguments for Chad Johnson here and how he was going to show everyone, but the minute it was clear at the end of the playoffs that he was a complete bust everyone bashed him who had been bashing anyone who would criticize the signing. The same thing happened with Amendola last season. But the minute Amendola is gone those same people will crush the guy. Fake fans.

I have to say yes. It doesn't feel like he was here long but he was and at times he literally was our entire offense. No one was more consistent than him and he didn't hold out when he wanted a new contract then later blew out his acl that same year. Yes he had a few costly drops, but that shouldn't override his body of work here.
Of course, he only had to make that one because he blew two kicks earlier in the game...
You aren't seriously equating the contributions to the Pats of Welker and Brady, are you?I guess when Tom Brady retires he'll end up being hated in here too.
Seymour, Vrabel, McGuinest, Curtis Martin, Lawyer Malloy, Drew Bledsoe, Asante, Woody, Moss...sign them all to one-day contracts and pretend they all ended their careers with the Pats. We'll have some good veteran leadership that day.
