BenFred: Hard to cheer Welker signing

Wes Welker is officially a Ram.
St. Louis needed a receiver after Stedman Bailey's latest screwup, preferably one capable of boosting their league-worst third down conversion rate.
Welker, one of the most-effective slot receivers and third-down converters in recent memory, was a free agent still in search of a place to play.
Perfect match.
Except for that whole brain injury thing.
