Welker is a great slot WR.


If you want to get your post count up by quoting someone in every thread on this site with a small statement and no explanation, rock out. Don't use me for it.

EDIT: Are you EnglishLions?

Sorry. Didn't mean to offend.

Welker plays the slot well. He has really done well in that position. I don't agree with your statement that he is only a "scat back".

I would take Welker over Cruz simply because he has been doing it for so long and so well. He is a reliable receiver who knows his role.

Cruz is an up and comer but I want to see more than one year out of him.

Also, I don't care about my post count and I dunno who EnglishLion is but I'm guessing he cares about post count?

I would have to agree that Welker is simply a scat back lined up where a slot receiver would line up. He can not go deep and his route tree as a whole is limited to very short routes. If he was to play the actual slot role, he wouldn't be able to do it.
