Did Jerry Rice not inflate Steve Young's numbers? Lots of quick slants there went for tons of YAC.

yes, but it also leaves the heavy lifting to the receiver and scheme leaving people to wonder how good the QB really is. Eventually it will lead to defenses to crowd the LOS scrimmage and potentially hurt the running game.
Scheme can help, elusive WR's can help but a QB generally has to stretch the defense vertically to have a consistent offense.
