Comparing him to Welker is not a slight in any way. Welker was dominate in his position for 5+ years.

Alright, time for some predictions you football nutters.
Done by playing time order:
Raiders @ Bengals - Bengals will end a long playoff wins drought.
Patriots @ Bills - Bills prove Mac Jones is no Tom Brady reborn.
Eagles @ Buccs - Buccs prove Tom Brady is still Tom Brady.
49ers @ Cowboys - Cowboys win their SuperBowl as all the haters believe they are just one and done. Successful season confirmed.
Steelers @ Chiefs - Chiefs end Big Ben's carrier.
Cardinals @ Rams - Rams show you can't beat a team 3 times in one year. They finally get their revenge.

Receivers are weird. There are some guys who are just amazing but in a tight half decade window, which is usually how it is for them. I put people like Welker, Nelson, and a lot of the ones from the prior decade in that category. Then there are the seemingly immortal ones that keep piling up the numbers for over a decade like Rice or Fitzgerald. TEs seem to last a little longer at their peak, depending on how much blocking they are doing.
And yeah in that five year window, Welker was one of the best in the league. I think the game has speed up too much for receivers to have the kind of shelf life they used to.

First of all Rams already beat the Cardinals this year, but I agree with that pick.
Raiders Bengals is a fucking coinflip. Bengles SHOULD win, but Raiders are hot at the right time and Bungles going to Bungle.
Bills should win easily, but Darth Bill is a mean trickey old bastard in the playoffs so I am a little iffy on this one too.
Eagles made a good run, but even without his weapons they are no match for Brady and that defense.
In theory if they can keep Dak off his back and run, they SHOULD win easily. But this is Coach McRib and his only upside is he typically waits til the NFCCG to shit the bed entirely.
Chiefs have some issues, but Rape Ape is far to past his prime to score enough to keep pace with KC.
Cardinals have too many issues down the stretch and I think the Rams finally get their head out of their ass so they can get Stafford his first ever playoff win.
There are some interesting games for the wildcard round, for sure.

This game could be a comedy of errors. The Raiders are just as capable of pulling some typical Bengal shit. Whatever the case, a really long playoff win drought is going to end.

Fair enough. And as Brahma said the Welker comparison is probably fairly accurate. Dude was really good for a long time.
Also 100% agree on your last statement. It is incredibly hard to compare Kupp and Deebo because they play very different roles.

Not only that, but he lost most of his way there and was a pathetic showing that everyone expected to lose. He sucks, but when he was called to do his one thing, he did it. He had one job, I'm okay with him being in the HoF as a big middle finger to the rest of them.

Right, and this is why in 3 total Super Bowl appearances Warner has 3 of the top 6 passing yardage performances. While Eli had...man that defense was good and a couple lucky/fluky catches.
That one of the greatest receivers of all time...bet you can't guess who his QB was the year he recorded his most receiving yards in a season (1,431). Or the two years back to back when he caught his most receiving TD's (12 and 13).
Also James did shit for the Cardinals in the Super Bowl year.

Other than Umenyiora on defense, that 2004 Giants roster was almost the exact same as the 2007 roster and it's basically identical on the offensive side (you could argue the 2004 team had a better RB, even). Eli won a SB against one of the greatest teams of all-time with it, Warner shit the bed and got booted to AZ.
Nobody is saying Warner is bad, but within the context of "overrated QBs in the HoF", comparing era to era, Kurt Warner has to be at the top of the list (so far).

I'd have a couple other QB's in the Hall as more overrated, although overrated might be the wrong word, more "in only because they played long enough to pile up passing yards" (Fouts, Moon). Whatever the defensive roster, that Giants' D in 2007 allowed only 20 points once in 4 playoff games, and were the reason they ended up winning. W
Warner got beat by a last second FG, and a last second TD pass or he could have 3 rings. Sometimes that's how it works. But saying he shit the bed and got booted to AZ doesn't tell the whole story. Not like AZ has done dick all except when he was there to QB them to the Super Bowl (with 11 TD's versus only 3 Int in those 4 playoff games). His playoff resume overall is pretty decent. Only 4 QB's in history have gotten to the Super Bowl with multiple teams, and 2 of the other 3 are Brady and Peyton.
