It remains to be seen if Gaines or someone else could be close to as effective as Smith was at RCB. I do have more faith in Gaines' ball skills, quickness, and overall speed than I did in Sean Smith's.
I don't trust the rookies not to **** up.

I wouldn't say that Smith is the only significant piece lost from last year. For starters, Houston is missing for an indefinite amount of time. That's pretty significant. The retirement of Abdullah and free agent loss of Branch, while not as big of a loss as Smith and Houston, is still significant. Their replacements are Sorenson and the rookie Murray or Flemming. Any way you slice it, there is a significant drop off there. Hopefu;;y the young guys step up and close those gaps soon. But let's not pretend that they are currently the same caliber players.
