This hurts:
[TSN]
Now the birds' situation looks all the more desperate; you don't want to ruin Flacco with WR scrubs. Harrison's leverage just skyrocketed.
On the Bolts side of things, I still can't understand why so many predict a large fall for this season. Both for the team and LT. Last year, the Chargers' two best players were out (LT was essentially out with his toe injury) and they still made the playoffs, and ohbytheway beat the hottest team in the NFL at the time, the Colts. All without a sliver of pass D.
This is a young team that gets better every year. The fact that opponents now need to plan for Sproles as well as LT suggests a minor renaissance for the big man. Merriman will cause havoc, especially if English is any good. Rivers had the best QB rating in the league last year, throwing TDs to 9 different players. Once the D improves, the offense will look that much better.
Will they win 14 games again? No. Will they win their division? Likely. Will the "hard" schedule hurt them? A little I suppose. But even in their "terrible" year last year, they amassed a 5-1 record in their division, 6-0 if not for Hochuli. The Bolts under Turner have consistently won when it matters most. I expect more of the same this season.

Disagree - doesn't hurt at all. He wasn't going to add much.
You still need a skilled veteran receiver to take the pressure off your number 2 and 3 guys. Bennett is certainly better than nothing, therefore, it's going to hurt your developing team.
Also, you're going to have to deal with another draft of morons clamoring for a WR, and when Ozzie drafts the next top LB, people will be "disappointed" and/or "outraged". So it may hurt you :P
No - because there are dozens of "skilled veteran receivers" out there. We can just sign one of the ones we didn't last week.
It has pissed off the talk radio morons, though, so you may have that.
For the rest of us, though, it's still In Ozzie We Trust.
