We will see who rises to the challenge. We have alot of talent trying to rise. I have faith that a couple of them will more than surprise.
We will be fine.
That is a significant reason why top quality QBs are paid the money they are paid. Peyton Manning was paid to make Anthony Gonzalez and Pierre Garcon look better than they were. Aaron Rodgers was paid to make the absence of Greg Jennings irrelevant.

Torrey Smith is the guy this passing offense goes through. If Torrey gets one on one, he'll kill you. The double team he draws opens up opportunities for the other WRs/TEs.

Joe was paid to make the rest of them look better than they are. In part, because there won't be any money left to pay anybody else. Joe got his and Torrey will get his.

It's just like the defense. Ray got his money. The guy beside him didn't. Ngata got his money, the guys beside him didn't. Reed got his money. The guys beside him didn't.
