re: What does Welker do to D. Thomas value?

Four of the last seven games he didn't throw for 300 yards. Two in which he only had one touchdown and five games in which he threw an interception.

Early in the year Manning was unstoppable, but when the Broncos got early leads on their easy scheduled opponents Manning did not need to throw as much.

All I was saying was Welker doesn't hurt Manning's or Thomas' value. That's their deep ball threat and playmaker. Welker will fill Brandon Stokley's role which is a huge improvement.
