I thought about that. But that involves at least 8 other players (5 OL, RB, FB, TE...to a lesser extent WR). It's amazing that every QB involved with T.O. and Moss has been affected by about 15-20 points through just one player.
Garcia
McNabb
Culpepper
Collins
Frerotte (small sample, but still)
Your point is certainly not lost. However, the first team I thought of was the Ravens, and Kyle Boller sucked (statistically) when J-Lew ran for 2000 yards in '03 more than he sucks now and more than he sucked in 2004. It would make an interesting study, but I'm inclined to believe WR's play more of a role, especially when you consider it can be just one player.
