cage Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Weekly MVP watch shows Fitz dropping from #5 to #9 on the weekly updated list http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcwest/post/_/id/47487/mike-sandos-mvp-watch-40 This list really shows just how critical the QB position is in this league. Only 2 non-QBs on it, Calvin Johnson and Darren McFadden and no defensive players. Buffalo News analysis on our 3rd down success reinforces this. If Fitz had played a bit better keeping drives alive or lasting longer, it would likely have made the difference last week despite the defenses poor play. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/article583193.ece?twobillsdrive Here's to a good week at our QB position this Sunday!!

PatsFanNH Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I agree Welker been a beast this year he has over 600 yards receiving ALREADY. And has had over 100 yards receiving every game (make a bet Revis is on him Sunday Now that should be an interesting matchup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFlutie Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Welker is good, but he's not lightning- I don't understand the issue covering him. I mean, just give up something else downfield to cover the guy. There can't be a worse alternative than him catching the ball underneath and gashing the D for 20 YAC every time. There just can't be.

This is the overwhelming logic, and yet...the guy is simply an outstanding football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt hurt that Him and Brady seem to always be on the same page. (IE against the raiders he just instictly knew Brady was going to throw over his back shoulder and instinctly knew to look that way even in great coverage.) Something be said when a QB and WR have a connection like that Brady had/has it with Branch as well a simple look and Branch knew to change his route and knew what route change it to.
