Here's my thought on the Welker signing...
It doesn't fix their problems from 2012 and what ultimately cost them the playoff game vs BAL. Denver's defense has improved a lot over the last 2 seasons, but there's still work to be done - holes to be filled.
However, a big part of what makes Manning successful is having lots of weapons and working the slot receiver. Welker is an amazing addition as a slot receiver and while it wasn't a top priority, how do you pass on the opportunity at that price? It was a no-brainer signing to me and yes, Welker has a lot of wear and tear, but he's far from being old and washed up.
This signing makes their offense more lethal... which they'll need if when they get caught up in shoot outs, which they will in 2013 if they don't make a major upgrade in the secondary.
All in all ... not a lot to point at and laugh at with this signing.
