It would be fun to have endless game film on Welker... and also on Tate... and overlap one image on top of the other while they are both running the same route.
My guess is if we were able to do that, Welker's league-leading success in catches and YAC would be obvious.
Just a hunch.

Wilson just has to trust him to make plays. Rice cleaned up with Favre cos Favre would just throw it to him. Wilson prefers to play it safer.
Look at Favre mic'd up talking about Rice:

I think we need a big, physical, fast receiver. I say pick one up in the draft and let him develop. We'll probably have a healthy Baldwin next year.
All that said, Wes Welker would be a great add for a couple seasons. The dude just gets open. He'd be awesome with a scrambling QB like Wilson.

Welker is the best slot WR in the NFL, he'd be an enormous upgrade over Baldwin. He is very hard to defend, and can get open at will. He's even a deep threat.
I'd be very surprised if New England let him hit UFA, but if they did, I'd love to see Seattle schedule him a visit.
SalishHawkFan":1iap75sy said:I'm frankly surprised that Welker isn't the overwhelming favorite. Incredible hands. Always gets open. Think Rich Man's Bobby Engram. Wilson won't have to scramble to buy nearly as much time with Welker out there. Guy is the best slot WR in the NFL and possibly the greatest possession receiver of all time. And he's not shown any signs of letting up.
