You don't think all the other QBs in this league didn't see a drop in their efficiency when the were missing their top receiver? Maclin was a 1000+ yard receiver (great considering it's in a WCO) and had 8 TD's for us in 2015, equal to the next 3 receivers touchdowns combined.
That's why I'm not hitting the panic button.
Maclin will restore Smith's confidence in throwing passes > 10 yards to the middle of the field
