His first step is good - it's not great. He gets open because the routes he runs are brilliantly designed, not because he's just a damn wizard with his feet.
And you're honestly going to try to argue that a slot WR eliminates the pass rush? Wake me when we're putting Tamba Hali or Justin Houston on the slot WR.
That's just an ass-backwards argument. If anyone eliminates the pass-rush in NE, it's Rob Gronkowski, who does occupy LBs. Wes Welker does little more than draw the attention of overmatched Nickle corners. In that regard, he's no different than any slot WR; even Steve Breaston in the slot was getting teams to take a LBer off the field and bring in a nickle DB.
But hey, I respect the attempt to spin your way clear of a bullshit statement.

You don't get it, you really don't. I can't explain a philosophy to you if you lack the ability to see the WHOLE picture.
Wes Welker is the best slot receiver to ever play. One of the best receivers to ever play, period.
Lets just leave it at that, or you'll have serious trouble trying to keep up.

A check-down isn't any worse than a designed 7 yard dump.

So then you do realize that a play designed to go 7 yards, with a release of seconds after the ball is snapped, which eliminates the rush, is a strength of someone who can get open in that time?
I'm glad you agree that Wes Welker is ****ing awesome and just became a huge boost for the Broncos who do not have a slot receiver with the same skillset, and have now eliminated our pass rush by the mere stroke of a pen.
Now get out.
