I don't think he would get as much hate if Beckwith wasn't behind him. Mike linebacker is one position that experience can sometimes cover a lack of athleticism. Not that he isn't athletic but compared to Beckwith he's far off. We need that intelligent player that will remember what everyone needs to be doing when the pressure is on and other players nerves are getting the best of them. They will look to him in those times for stability... So the answer to your question is yes.

Probably won't ever be a star but his presence on the field will allow other players to become stars and fulfill their potential.

All I can say is Chavis knows better than the posters on this board.

Welter must do something right...no?

Nah, we were used to Minter the one man tackling machine and he was replaced by Welter, who pretty much got pushed around for most of the season.

Welter played better down the stretch. IDK if he proves his haters wrong. Frankly, they have a point. He is less talented than the last few LSU MLBs I can recall (Minter, Sheppard).

Welter was academically ineligible in 2012.
