Do we let Kevin Walter go?

I voted yes on this, however; I feel as though the team would be better served to get Jacoby Jones more opportunities in 2010. He has the true ability to become a great 2nd option to Andre, and David Anderson, imho, has the opportunity to become a great "Welker" option in that offense. We are still BETTER with Walter, and in an uncapped season I see McNair keeping this team intact and possibly adding a key piece or two via free agency prior to and perhaps after the draft.

I'm on the fence on this one. I think we'd be fine without him and have stated many times this year that I'd like to see more JJ in the offense because he's a bigger homerun threat and would take some defensive attention off of AJ. I thought he played great when he got the chance at the end of the season. However, KW provides a proven starter and certainly quality depth. I'd be very reluctant to mess around with the depth on this team right now when they seem to be on the verge of good if not great things. It will probably come down to money and where they get the most bang for the buck.

To me, it comes down to if they feel JJ is ready to start. If the answer is yes, then it's not a priority to keep KW and they hopefully have (Anderson/AD/Martinez??) or find a decent backup. If the answer on JJ is no, then you do what you can - within reason - to keep KW.

Kubes loves Walter. He is good in the run game. If the contract is a fair deal for both sides, then I have no problem bringing him back.

I feel like Jacoby simply makes too many mistakes to truly rely on him as a second WR. He had such a great game last game, but had a terrible moment letting the ball go through his hand which ended up going for an interception.

In 2008 AJ and KW were the top WR tandem in the NFL.

Going into 2009 KW averaged 1 TD every 7.5 touches.

This year he was not nearly as productive in the red zone or in total yardage.

KW is a great run blocker however, which Kubiak really likes. I dont really look at him as a possesion guy though. Having a second reciever with 600-900 yards a season, in an offense which spreads the ball and throws to the TE alot seems like a damm good deal to me.

He may not have the explosiveness as JJ or AD but his consistency is not something to be overlooked, especially on a team struggling to maintian any consistency throughout a season.

I think the poll shows most people want Kevin Walters back. However, we can't keep all these good wide receivers, can we?

Why not??? We have them now, so what will radically change that would cause us to not be able to keep them? Dollars shouldn't be an issue as we have some room now and it will likely be an uncapped year so even more/max room.
