Thread: Wes Welker suspended 4 games

I'm excited we won't have him for week three. He didn't need to die on the field that game. With the bye week, he'll have five weeks to recover and be fresh.

Welker already has the stats for the HoF.

Excuse me. When has the NFL Hall of Fame ever been about stats? It's about how many years you were a Steeler or Cowboy.

Let's move on with Cody Latimer and Isaiah Burse.

Bubba had never let us down. And I see Sanders as a bigger deep threat.

I think tamme and bubba see the time in the slot with Latimer get some more game time than expected on the outside.

Either way - I don't see this overly impacting on our offence in a negative way

More two tight end sets. Thomas, Sanders, Thomas and Tamme. Latimer on the outside when we go 3-wide.

Frankly, not much of a setback as i really dont think he was going to play most of the year anyway. If it wasnt this drug stuff im convinced he would of gotten another concussion anyway. Sanders and DT will be the major contributors this year.

how great is it, to be in the position where losing a potential hall of famer, is not actually that big of a deal!!!

Spano's article says that his defense is that his drink was spiked at the derby.

Well even after I slept on it I am having a hard time giving a crap. I hate how it makes our team look and I even feel a little bad for Welker because his reputation is taking a hit. Whether someone put the drugs in his drink or not he should know better about the NFL rules and the dangers of just taking things from people when you are out especially when you know drugs are around. Other than that I felt that Welker should have been off the field until after the BYE anyway due to his concussions, and we can make the adjustments to cover for his absence pretty easily from what I understand.

Miller pissed me off because its hard to replace what he does, and Prater made me less upset because I don't thin we rely on him like we did with Tebow at the helm, but this just makes want to call Wes a dumbass and move on. I can't judge him for what he does in his personal life, only on how he affects the team I root for. As it stands I think the Broncos may be better off without him for a month while he gets his head straight both literally and figuratively.

Alright, now we're getting into serious denial mode here.

I can't bring myself to believe he was doing ecstasy. Amphetamines could be a possibility. All these guys are looking for focus. He'll, even Manning huffs ammonia on the sideline.

But why would he be doing that when he was partying at the derby?

As others have said, Adderall is widely prescribed for post concussion symptoms. I've had a concussion myself and you basically do whatever the doctor says.

Maybe I'm naive, but the coincidence of his concussion and testing positive for what appears to be Adderall seems obvious.

Who knows, I certainly don't - but when the news hit, the first thing I thought of was aderall, not molly or whatever. Again, who knows.

The positive test was in may

This could end up being pretty sweet actually.

Welker gets all pissed about his rep being taken. He comes back on the prove-it tour 2014. Great success!
