Before NE, he was average at best. After that welker played with 2 of the best QBs all time, who both love their slot WR. Other 1,000 slot guys under manning and Brady include - Edelman, stokley and Godwin.

I mean, who WOULDN'T be just average with Gus Frerotte and Joey Harrington throwing to them? Not to mention, not being a featured piece in a NICK SABAN offense.
It's not Welker's fault Belicheck knew how to use him and made him a more-featured part of the offense.
Anyways, Godwin and Stokely were good players before and after Brady (hell, Godwin made a PB and AP2 before Brady and hasn't with him).
