I'm not on board with the people who think there's a lack of talent or depth at the skill positions here. The o-line is a valid concern, which I hope will work itself out in the next two months, but I think there's more here in terms of guys who can make plays than we've had in a while.

Whoa, I dont...Charles is someone that the other team has to account for. That does allow other things to come into play. Without Charles, the defenses can bring an extra man and pressure Smith to throw every down. I dont think the team has the talent in TE/WR to counteract the loss of Charles.
