Or ping: guy who was arguing with me before the infamous board crash.

In that thread not only did I predict a hefty decline for Culpepper's rating (and an increase in Collins') this season, I also pretty much pinpointed it by saying that Moss and T.O. are worth about 20 points of QB rating.

No, I didn't start the thread entirely to say, "Told ya so." I also wanted to discuss how difficult it is to evaluate quarterbacks. For instance:

Some of the next best receivers down from T.O. and Moss:

-How good would Carson Palmer be without Johnson?
-How good would Delhomme be without Smith?

You can really ask a lot of questions based on receiver talent. For instance, how good would Jake Plummer be with Moss or T.O? What about Mike Vick? If Michael Vick had Chad Johnson, would he have spent the past two years paving his way to Canton?

It just makes it really tough to evaluate QB's, and you have to think that the QB's who get in the Hall of Fame are products of their own abilities to an extent but also products of their WR talent. The same goes for every position, especially on offense, but I think QB stands out more than any other. 20 points of QB rating is about the difference between one of the best and one of the worst in any given season.
