And I'm assuming that Smith will mesh exceptionally well with the personnel on the roster. His game fits with Bowe's talent/abilities to a "T," and I think you'll see Baldwin and the other receivers get into the game a bit more than what you've seen the past two years. Fasano and Kelce are also nice additions that will work with Smith. I also expect Charles to be able to put up some seriously sick numbers this next season. (A healthy Hudson and the Schwartz addition will be a boon to Jamaal along with either Stephenson or Fisher at RT, though I would rather see a offensive line of:
LT: Fisher
LG: Albert
C: Hudson
RG: Schwartz
RT: Stephenson
to fully benefit the team by getting all of the best players on the line at one time.)
Unlike Cassel, Smith is able and willing to go through his progressions and will get the ball to the open receiver.
I like what the team will put out in terms of offensive and defensive philosophy in 2013. Stable, calculated ball control offense that should control the time of possession and field position allowing our high end playmakers (Bowe and Charles) to do just that. It will also keep our defense fresh and allow Houston and Hali to be substantially more effective deeper into the game.
Looking at what they've done with the draft and free agent acquisitions, our Pro Bowl players are really going to get a chance to shine even more so this next season. I can't complain too much about that.

Really great post.
Be careful though, despite how much you banged the drum for Geno, you'll be lumped into the asshole optimism group.
