Better Season Welker or Amendola

[SteelersPride]

Amendola for me

Welker gets more catches. Amendola gets a ring.

i dunno who the heck else it tom gonna throw to

If Amendola stays healthy he will have a great year and be at least in the same stats area of Welker but I dont think he has ever played a entire season.

I'm going to say Welker. Peyton loves his slot receiver and I feel like it will be Decker who suffers a huge decline in numbers. The Patriots will run even more than last year and Vereen will actually get a lot of looks in the passing game. Then, of course, there's the health factor.

Nah, Decker will still get his. I don't see Welker getting as many catches as Amendola due to the fact that Brady has nobody to throw to other than Ridley.

If he stays healthy and that is a big if, it's amandola. And besides that I
Think some people are going to be unpleasantly shocked who tom finds to throw to. He led the league in TD passes in 2002 and the worst reciever this year is better than the best that year

Amendola will put up better stats because he is one of very few weapons. Brady will target him a lot. Welker doesn't need to be "the guy" in Denver.

Welker drops off but beats Amendola, stats wise. He also brings more to that offense.

Amendola brings more value to New England than Welker would have, but the numbers won't show it.

 

[Golden Spur]

Tough call, but go with Welker. Wouldn't bet on it, though.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Welker is old and going to slow down.

Amendola will probably get more targets, especially before Gronkowksi gets back on the field. Big if, but if he stays healthy, I say Amendola. Manning targets his slot receiver a lot, but he also has two WR targets in Decker and Thomas that are better than any WRs aside than Amendola.

I do expect the Pats to run it more than the Broncos and for Vereen to get plenty of targets out of the backfield, but Amendola will likely be Brady's go-to.

 

[JDM]

I think Amendola gets less targets than Welker.

I think Amendola gets less targets than Welker.

This is actually possible. The Broncos have a banged up OL right now which should get healthier as the season goes on but especially here at the beginning of the season Welker could get a lot of targets just to take some pressure off Manning and the OL.
