Someone mentioned Lima Sweed. Did he try making a comeback with the arena league ? It's too bad things didn't work out for him because I understand he had life troubles in addition to not being able to make it in the NFL. Who doesn't have their troubles but when I see people that have talent above the normal person and things don't pan out for them or accept the God given gifts and utilize them, I do feel remorse for them. Question, when the Redskins signed ARL from us, did they have him as their number 1 or 2 receiver ? Seems like they over paid for that guy and to me, ARL was a number two receiver that every once in a while could make an exceptional play above the norm. I often wondered if we still had Santonio Holmes would we or could we have won the Super Bowl against Green Bay ? I also wonder if we didn't have Mendenhall or Kemoateu on the team if we could or would have won that game.
I guess the expectation from some fans is they were hoping to see more clutch plays from him. I don't think anyone would label him 'clutch'.
Question: would you consider Wes Welker a #1? ... not likely... but he is clutch.
Was Welker clutch in the SB vs the Giants? Nope.... Welker has always been solid but he is no more clutch than Sanders... he just getd more opportunities due to playing for pass happy teams who check down a ton. Ive seen him fumble punts, drop passes and he stays injured due to playing underneath. He will probably retire after next year due to concussions. Wes Welker was probably a #1 when you look at his stats. Dude was a machine underneath and Brady is struggling without him when you look at his pass production this year vs last year.
WW catches a ton so his drops are overlooked but he damn sure dropped some clutch passes over the years.

I wonder if Teebow would make it as a tightend or a underneath type of receiver ? You know the guy can run when he gets the ball.
Thanks for pointing out one game. Welker is 25th in the league in receptions for a 1st down (0.67). Alshon Jeffery in CHI sports a 0.70 1st down % (players with 50 or more catches). Sanders?, 0.54, good for 38th spot. Point is, the Steelers can do better for a No. 2 WR and that is likely the contract he will seek.
