Is the Patriots' Wes Welker the most dangerous slot receiver in the NFL?

PrintThis is a rather silly question for me. It's like asking Norm of Cheers fame if he wants a beer or Jets QB Mark Sanchez if he wants a hot dog. OF COURSE WES IS THE MOST DANGEROUS SLOT RECEIVER IN THE NFL!! Sorry for shouting. Anyway, the diminutive one constantly dazzles us with what seems like an uncanny and unique ability to move the chains. In a flat out 40 yard dash, Wes Welker would most likely get crushed by other receivers. That's because their definition of speed is based on south to north.
No, Wes isn't fast, but he is jackrabbit quick. One of my favorite Wes moments was against San Diego in Week 2 of the 2007 season. You'll find it at about 1:00 in this video. Cool, huh? He doesn't have incredible speed up and down the field and will never be mistaken as a sideline guy. He could easily get caught running downfield. After all, those little legs can only go so fast. But, what he DOES have is incredible quickness North, South, East, and West. Enough to make defenders stop dead in their tracks.
Why am I suddenly writing about Wes? Like I need an excuse? Well, after a 10 catch, 107 yard game in London, Welker is the reception leader for the NFL. Big deal, right? Wes is always at the top of the list (tied for first in 2007 and second in 2008). It's a big deal if consider Welker has missed 2 games. That's right. He's the league leader in receptions with only 5 games under his belt.
Yes, I know he's one of Brady's first looks (especially when we need to move the chains) and he gets a lot of touches. That's the simplistic counter. The reality is he wouldn't get those touches if he wasn't as good as he is. Simple as that. A first down or touchdown on 58.7% of his receptions. Over half the time he puts his hand on the ball, he's either converting a first down or scoring a touchdown. That's just silly.
Best slot receiver in the game today. It has a nice ring to it. A ring of indisputable truth.

If I may
I’d say the Patriots slot receiver is the most dangerous slot receiver in the game. It isn’t necessarily Wes Welker, though he does fit the role perfectly, but the way the Patriots use their slot receiver. A player that duck and dart like Wes in that role will thrive. I’m not so sure if you put Welker in the Colts’ slot it would work out as well. Maybe I’m wrong and I don’t see the real abilities of Wes but the capabilities of the scheme. LOS-8 yard passes into space is deadly with anyone lightening quick like Welkah. See Colts TE, Dallas Clark. May not be physically that good but schematically great.

I agree, but...
…I can’t think of another player who fills the role as well as Welker. You couldn’t design a system that takes advantage of a player better than the Pats’ system takes advantage of Welker’s talents.
Reggie Bush?
I know it’d never happen, but I could envision Bush being a matchup nightmare and pass-catching threat in a Pats system. It’d be a hybrid of Kevin Faulk and Wes Welker, with more sheer athleticism than both. I’m not sure whether you’d call him a RB or a WR (or if it would really matter either way).
Hypothetically, I could envision Wes-like production of first-downs, yardage and TDs out of Bush. Then again, when the guy is second pick in the draft overall, that’s to be expected. Plus it’d be amusing to see a Welker-like first down run get stretched into a 90 yard TD because Bush could burn them around the edges.

Wouldn't matter the number you put on him.
Wes was a running back in college.

Would Bush's ego survive being dumped as a RB?
“You think you’re a running back, eh? Second overall pick, eh? Shut up and get in the slot.”
I forgot Wes was a RB in college until now. That actually makes me think the Reggie Bush hypothetical could work. Bush definitely has the breakaway acceleration and speed to get open like Welker were he converted into a full-time receiver. And Bush would be more of a weapon as an underneath receiver in a Belichick passing system than as a bit-part guy in a Drew Brees downfield assault.

There are some good videos of Wes launching out of the backfield in college
Don’t think Hoodie has forgotten either. If we run out of backs, he knows he still has Wes.

If Gostkowski got injured
Hanson would kick, Hoyer would handle the snap. If either of those guys, messed up, Wes would be in there.

He has the talent for it, but he's too fragile
Welker takes a dozen hard hits a game and bounces right back to the huddle. Bush takes a glancing blow and needs knee surgery.
Haha, the intangible that matters
That could be the real value that Wes provides – he takes so many hits but he’s barely ever out. That’s one of those stats people tend to forget when they’re discussing YAC or TDs-per-game or whatever – sheer ability to turn up on the field for every snap.

That's what came to my mind, too
Welker is golden at those short underneath routes that allow him a skerrick of space – he’s absolutely deadly at creating a little and then edging upfield for a first-down. However, Dallas Clark deserves mention the same breath. If the route you’re needing is an over-the-top slant or come-back for 10 yards, Clark’s your guy. He’s almost impossible to stop because he’s too big and physical.
Overall, though, I’d probably lean towards Welker, for one main reason.
Receivers of Welker’s breed are far less common in comparison to the TE/WR hybrid. Dallas Clark has a few similar guys around – Owen Daniels, Visanthe Shiancoe, Antonio Gates, Jason Witten, even Benjamin Watson. This plethora of the big WR/fast TE type guys means teams can come up with a generic gameplan to stop them – the Pats have invested in McGowan as a cover-all shutdown TE-stopper. In comparison, there’s Wes. And… umm… Bowe? Maybe. So whoever is covering Welker has to come up with a Wes-only gameplan. Given his success in putting up 10 catches every game against everyone, nobody seems to have a usable Wes-plan (yet?). He’s such a matchup issue that he deserves ranking above the Dallas Clark types, at least as far as I’m concerned.
+1 for "skerrick"

Yes! Wes Welker is the most dangerous slot receiver in the game
Without a doubt he is. The best in the NFL. The Chargers didn’t know how to use him. The Dolphins didn’t know how to use him. Belichick and the Patriots do.
The Boston Globe has these stats:
Welker leads the NFL with 46 catches despite missing two games. His 96.8 yards per game is also best in the league. Welker’s production isn’t a surprise given his 111 catches last season and 112 in 2007. Welker’s consistency, though, makes it easy to overlook him, particularly outside of New England.
Welker has produced a first down or touchdown on 58.7 percent of his catches while averaging 10.5 yards, 44th and 54th among players with at least 20 catches.
(For perspective: Moss is at 69.8 and 13.1; Marshall is at 62.1 and 11.4; Fitzgerald is at 65.9 and 10.8; and Johnson is at 63.2 and 16.7. The leader in first-down percentage is Pittsburgh’s Santonio Holmes at 93.3 percent; 28 of his 30 receptions have produced a touchdown or first down. Miles Austin leads the league with a 23.9-yard-per-catch average.)
Keep the faith!
Moss gets the long bombs
But Welker can suck the life out of a defenders, keep them on the field, and move the chains.
Keep the faith!
Plus getting kicked around by a 5'9" undrafted guy would sting a little.
Getting smoked by 6’4" first-round pick Randy Moss would hurt a little less. So having little Wes put 10 out of 10 receptions on the board for 100 yards and a TD, etc, would be rather galling, especially since it’s impossible to stop. All the frustration leads to guys like Ray Lewis throwing helmets at ball-boys and free penalty yardage.

Who am I kidding?
2007 people used the excuse that Welker wasn’t very good, but was open because Moss had all the attention. They said teams were putting nickel and dime backs on his, so that’s why he could get open. Besides he had Brady throwing to him. As the season wore on teams tried to take Wes out. Some games he was doubled, some he had the #1 corner. Neither worked.
In the Super Bowl, he was the only consistent target Brady had and would have been MVP if it weren’t for a sticky helmet. The Giants tried to take him out, but couldn’t. Plaxico Buress suggested that they were making up routes because NOBODY gets open that much.
2008, Brady was out Cassel had trouble connecting to Moss, and Welker was still racking up catches. Teams were throwing their #1 CB on Welker alot, but he set a record for the most games with at least 6 catches. The record ended when Ryan Clark took him out (after only 4 catches). He even had a catch in that Buffalo wind game.
Now he is leading the league after missing two games. He could do this for ten years and there would still be excuses. I have NO PROBLEM with people overlooking Wes. I hope teams underestimate him as well. One coach compared Wes to death by a thousand small cuts. That’s about right.

Can't argue with anything being said
I want to but I can’t. Welker has that “it” about him. Team him up with Belichick who plays to Welker’s strengths and none of his weaknesses and Wes is the hardest to game plan for as an individual player in the NFL that isn’t a QB. Followed closely by Dallas Clark (if I may insert my obligatory Colts reference here).
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
And even Clark is becoming easier to shut down
Mainly because every team suddenly seems to have a TE like him, now. At the very least, there’s one in every division, so every team has to gameplan for them at some point. Clark’s lucky enough that he’s got a QB who treats him like a genuine receiving threat rather than a mere outlet valve – he gets to catch passes put into space for him to make plays on, rather than getting passes whenever the pash-rushers are in the QBs face. In other words, he gets the ball when it’s best for him – he’s in space, or in gaps in coverage, or his matchup is in his favour – rather than when it’s best for the QB to avoid being killed.
by Comedic.Sans on Oct 26, 2009 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions
also as stated above
LBs are being developed to cover “TEs” such as Clark. Slowly but surely teams will have built in coverage for the like. The league eventually adapts once you get beat so much. If Welkerian receivers start popping up around the league, the league will adjust. Unfortunately those kind of game changing, dynamic players don’t remain secrets for long and the league adjusts accordingly. Can’t wait for this to happen with the Wildcat. There is a reason it hasn’t been run in 30 years.
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
The answer to the wildcat is the pass rush.
It is primarily a running formation, but if you pass rush, it becomes solely a running formation and any single dimensional attack can be stopped.

And if you can stop it...
you’ve got a receiver who won’t be catching it (the QB, wherever he’s lined up) and a passer who isn’t guaranteed of throwing it well (whichever RB is snapped the ball). So that’s less receivers, and a passer who isn’t starting NFL grade. So it’s basically the Raiders…

AGREE WITH YOU TOTALLY
though maybe I am completely Biased!
I am just sooooo happy to read and hear people become a fan of Wes!! He is such an awesome guy, not just as a player, but as a person! And he TOTALLY deserves what people say about him (positively). It bring tears of joy to my eyes!
He really is amazing. His roots are from years of SOCCER. that’s why his feet are so fast, and why he moves so quickly and jumps around like he is nobody’s business. Yes he was out for 2 weeks and so frustrated over it too. He wanted to get back out in the field! he hated not being able to play. All he has ever loved is THE GAME! and he is making that GAME – HIS GAME. Breakin records, leading the league…he is unstoppable! I really hope they get their ring this year… he almost had it, maybe this year buddy, maybe this year! crosses fingers
i just hope retail stores start selling more wes jerseys…. while i like Moss, i am tired of seeing nothing but Brady and Moss jerseys. I get super EXCITED when i see a welker jersey, i scare people when i approach them about it. LOL =) I’m just too proud of him!!!
Thanks for the input

When I coached soccer, we had one kid who was a phenominal dribbler
He’d go against triple teams and get through. But eventually, he’d draw enough people that it was impossible.
I asked him what he did best, and he said, “Score points”. I said, “Wrong, score A point, because after people see what you can do, you don’t score points. What you do best is draw defenders. If three guys are on you someone’s open.”
Once that clicked with him, we scored bucket loads of points. After he learned the beauty of the give and go, he scored pointS.
Moss draws two guys all day long. The last team that really played a single guy on him was the Raiders last year. He ate them up. He also does better when he lulls the defense into thinking he’s out of the game. Moss is doing fine.

Brady said about as much this morning on WEEI
Dennis & Callahan asked Brady which receiver he would take, if he could only have one, Moss or Welker? Diplomatic as he is, Brady wouldn’t answer the question directly. He did say that the two of them, completely different in their receiving styles and skill sets, are so good because of each other. Moss is more effective with Welker on the field, and Welker gets more receptions when defenses are double-covering Moss.
And about Moss lulling the defenders? All that costs him is his reputation among the mainstream media knuckleheads.
Keep the faith!
If he gets a shot at some hardware, he's happy.

I agree
These two Moss’ functions (receive long passes / draw guys on his coverage) are equally important. And I also think Moss is doing fine.
I’d just like to see more long passes to TDs – like those against Tenessee. And just because they’re really awesome =D
I'd like to see them, too.

Best way to explain welker as a receiver:
CAN"T TOUCH THIS!
Brady trusts Welker for catches, but not fashion.
Wes [Welker] had a funny line out there, referring to your attire on the flight. Everyone else is in warm up gear and you’re wearing a suit. He said, ‘What is this, the London Stock Exchange?’
Tom Brady: “Wes said that? I don’t take fashion advice from Wes.”

Another innacurate appraisal:
All Moss has done is catch 38 touchdown passes and record 3,016 receiving yards in 39 regular-season games as a Patriot, while often receiving double coverage, allowing Wes Welker, in many instances, to run uncovered.
(Emphasis mine)
Ok, fans and faithful. How many games have you seen that Welker was uncovered. Not uncoverable, but uncovered.
I’ve seen one. Last year in Buffalo, winds hitting 70 mph, and the passing game was all but stopped. There was a DB that was playing 20 yards off of Welker, when Cassel threw a screen out to him. That’s the closest I can think of. The commentators said something to the effect of, “Sure, you don’t have to cover Welker, he’s only had over a hundred catches on the year.” He should have had a sarcasm font.
Yeah, yeah I get it Randy’s great, he makes Wes’ job easier, yadda yadda yadda. Don’t you think that Randy is just a little happy that Wes is dealing with the underneath stuff? How do you think Randy hurt his back? Give Wes a little credit. If it was so easy, even Galloway could do it.
