This will take a leap of faith for most folks, I'm sure, but Anderson could well be the next Welker.

why would benson get consideration from kubiak? he's not that good on or off the field. us maybe...but kubiak? nah.

a leap. a gigantic leap at that. welker has been there and done it. all his personal accomplishments far outweigh anything david anderson has done. i know-they're both quick, small, white recievers, but that's about where the comparison ends.

Well at least with Welker there's one more guy for white WR's to get compared too besides Ed Mccaffrey....who I guess took over the white WR label from Steve Largent.

I don't see Welker as much as I see Wayne Chrebet. Welker is smaller and faster than Anderson. Chrebet made his money by finding the seam in the zone, squatting and catching, not YAC. Welker's game is YAC, even when he was at Texas Tech.

McCaffrey was 6-5. There's really no comparison there beyond pigmentation.

Yeah, we should keep our white guy comparisons straight... Kevin Walter is the McCaffrey.

Now all we need is a white corner so we can compare him to Jason Sehorn.

I remember a few years back, pre-draft, and someone on our board wanted to compare Matt Jones to Ed McCaffrey. It was one of the most obvious "plug-in white receiver's name here" comparisons I've ever seen.

And I think the chrebet one is a good one if forced to pick because anderson is not nearly as athletic or physical as welker (even in a poor man's sense).
