The only issue is that unless the player really knows the offence it is tough to come in at this time of the season and have much of an impact for a team. Cleveland was running a bit of a West Coast offence last year so perhaps he'll be alright in Hamilton's system. Wide Receivers in particular really need to know how to play off the QB, read coverage and break off routes. Whereas a running back tends to play more by instinct and hit holes. I think Reggie Wayne's replacement is likely already on the team and will emerge with the opportunity to play. Good QB's tend to allow previously unknown receivers to emerge, and Andrew Luck is plenty good enough to allow that to happen.
