Everybody could benefit from a Wes Welker. There is only one though. Good luck with finding another.
And there is nothing deceptive about our top 5 offense. Our scoring and redzone production were way up this year. If we got anything in the return game or defensively to give us field position, then we'd easily be top 5 in scoring as well.
Walter is extremely productive and very important to our run game. Football outsiders and every other advanced stat metric shows that he is very good in areas like target %, on target drops, etc... And those sites state up front that they don't take into account blocking which affects a player's true value.
So Walter is a guy who is very effective every time we use him and should be targeted more from every available stat, and yet never asks for the ball more and blocks hard on every play. Not sure what the question is even about. I'd love for anyone to name me 10 better #2 WRs. Or even 5 better.
Here are 3 of the better #2 WRs in the NFL, Walter and the two who went to the superbowl, Hines Ward and Donald Driver. Guess who's who.
59/755, 12.8, 5 TD, 35 FD
51/565, 11.1, 4 TD, 29 FD
51/621, 12.2, 5 TD, 33 FD
