It's not so much that Mike Brown has the qualities of Wes Welker. It's more about Wes Welker having the qualities of Mike Brown!

I wouldn't read too much into it.

Here is the actual quote:
Mike has left an extremely favorable impression on the whole staff, from the offensive coordinator to the head coach to the special teams coordinator...I know Jerry Sullivan said Mike has a lot of the same qualities as Wes Welker."

So its like saying I read War and Peace and this thread and they both have words.

WOW...

[NYC4jags]

To put this a little more in perspective -

Charlie Skalaski, an offensive assistant coach for the Jags used to be the Liberty receivers coach. All of this info is coming from this article originally. In the article a reporter from Mike Brown's hometown is interviewing Skalaski about Brown's chances of making the team. Reading the original will remove some of the "hype factor" being sprinkled in by the "echo" articles that just quote the original.

He'll have to begin his career like Welker.

UDFA playing exclusively on special teams.

[KM91]

Wow, you guys are predictable. I could even predict who would start this thread.

[GoJags16]

Two years ago hed be our number 2 guy

[HURRICANE!!!]

Let's hold off all comparisons until Mike Brown drops a critical pass in the super bowl.

[Molter]

What I'm curious about is the three year contract.
I really thought that almost all UDFA's are signed to one year deals.
02, Am I incorrect on this? Or is there something to this?

Thanks for that article. I'm rooting for the kid, he seems to have some natural ability. He's a football player and he seems to have the right attitude to work hard and earn a spot somewhere. I wish the kid the best and hope he can stick around, sounds like a good kid that's willing to do what it takes to be a good football player.

The reactionary response by the OP reminds me of a re-run of Breaking Bad I watched last night. In the episode, Jesse, the drug addict assistant cook turned right hand man of an ex-cop/enforcer for the main kingpin manipulates his way into a house where a druggie is all high and paranoid inside. He begins to try and baby talk the man who is freaking out. At one point, the druggie points a shotgun at him and starts to yell. Jesse responds by saying, "Whoa, whoa, I'm not looking to start any trouble here." The paranoid reactionary druggie yells back, "TROUBLE!? What do you mean trouble!?" Jesse then says, "No, I mean I don't want any trouble, it's cool..." "TROUBLE!?"

Point being, when one track minded individuals see or hear certain words it's like a mechanism inside them goes off and all they can think about is that word, completely missing the context in which that word is placed. In this example of a thread, the OP sees "Mike Brown" and "Wes Welker" next to each other and explodes into thinking Jerry Sullivan is proclaiming Mike Brown to be the next Wes Welker.

Quite amusing.

Love the show but I am more like Walter White. I can think outside the box while you are like Jesse's druggie friends,

When you 'think outside the box', it helps to check that you haven't simply moved to another box in which you are thinking.
