That's all well and fine, but I think it's pretty easy to say "QBs will be better with elite WRs, and not as good without them." The whole argument basically becomes a overrated/underrated QB discussion. McNabb = overrated because of TO, Matt Hasselbeck = underrated because his team has always been filled with ball droppers, that kind of thing.

Of course, the same could be said on the other side. Is Reggie Wayne really this good, or is it because of Peyton Manning, who I despise and hate at all referencing the potential for him to be good? Is Mike Vick not the best passer because he doesn't have good WRs, or are the WRs not performing well because Vick is throwing them the ball? There's a lot that has to go into it.

I have no idea what my point is in this post.
