Wes Welker presents the Broncos' passing game with a numbers problem.

Already, the Broncos had one receiver, Demaryius Thomas, who had 94 catches last year, and another, Eric Decker, who had 85.

To this prolific passing game the Broncos added Welker, who in six previous seasons with the New England Patriots averaged 112 receptions.

I love the team JE has managed to put together. I don't think the Broncos have overpaid for anyone. It's nothing short of amazing when you think about it.

anytime an offense can put 4-5 potent receivers on the field, the DEFENSE is COMPELLED to attack the pass at the point of origin, so the far greater concern is QB protection.
ANY team can send 5 receivers on to the field...
Only the ones that can protect their QB who can make the reads and throws are special.

"(The catches) are not the goal," Welker said. "The goal is to go out there and help your team win games. However many catches that is, however many blocks that takes, however many routes I've got to run, whatever. I think we all feel the same way about that."

Actually, if you look at the top QBs in the NFL, their QB rating SKYROCKETS when teams blitz. You blitz, you are leaving someone open. That is why QBs like Manning and Brady make teams absolutely get RIPPED for blitzing with your line of thinking.

If Welker can't play Safety then this thread is irrelevant!
