I don't understand Wes Welker over Desean Jackson on the First Team.

no.

welker had like 2000 catches this year.

Desean had 5 more TDs and averaged 7.5 more YPC. Randy Moss arguably had a better season numbers-wise than Welker. There's a lot of WRs that have legit gripes to be first teamers, but obviously being a Philly fan I'm going to point out Desean.

How many All-Pro teams are there? Didn't the Sporting News have a different set of All-Pros?

Sporting news had one, and the AP

And I think SB should put one out

All Vikings. Except Jared Allen

All Vikings. Except Jared Allen

It would clearly be primarily vikings, but we'd have to put Ruvell Martin on there somewhere.

Do you know how many people have ended a season with more catches than Welker in the history of the NFL? 1 -- Marvin Harrison a few years ago. He's a first-team All-Pro.

He's a possession receiver. Moss and Fitz each had 9 more TDs than Welker. Miles Austin had 42 less receptions, and only 28 less yards (7 more TDs). Welker is an incredible receiver, but I just don't think he had the best/most impactful season out of all the WRs in the NFL (sans Andre Johnson).

No one matches Welker in pure grit.

And whiteness.
