Matty Ice needs his team to move up for Julio Jones in the top 10? Why does Denver need to bring in Emmanuel Sanders? Why retain Demaryius Thomas at such high cost? Can Romo not live without Dez, for them to pay him that much? Why pay Antonio Brown an average of 8 mil per?

The questions go on. I mean, if these QBs can make any receiver look good... how can they justify these resources?

... and name 15 WRs better than Hilton, please.

Because all of those QBs sucked ass until those those WRs came on board, right?

You say I can't read. But gloss over that I said Rodgers won a Super Bowl with his entire WR corps dinged up. He's usually had a bad OL. Manning has had many years with really dinged up WRs and OL. His final years in Indy, his supporting cast was atrocious and his OL was one of the worst in the league. You keep commenting about how great these OLs and WRs are... did you ever stop to think that these WRs are racking up huge seasons because they're playing with an elite QB? How good was Santonio outside of Pittsburgh? Has Wallace looked anything close to a true #1? Did you see how well Denver's dinged up OL played against KC 2 years ago? Because Peyton specifically designed an offense to get rid of the ball lightning fast.

I agree that it's unfair to compare him to the elites. But you asked what QB and the elite / almost elites have been around long enough to do well no matter what the supporting cast.

Umm... Maybe because he's 36? He did win a playoff game just 2 years ago.

Alex Smith had an absolute shit OL and WR group at the end of 2013. Even worse in the Colts playoff game. As I've said over and over, he problem is in Alex's head. He's choosing to manage games instead of attacking. And when he manages games, he makes his OL and WRs worse.

I'll address some things:

- Yes, Mike Wallace was a damn beast for a while there. A true homerun threat that put together some nice seasons.. but started to derail mentally.

- dinged up? yeah, that's the NFL, and all teams deal with dinged up.

- Brees isn't a real mobile QB anyway... what's him being 36 really matter that much? Why does he get the excuse? He couldn't elevate the team around him period.

- Why is Peyton so special that he keeps needing his "special/sneaky/pick" schemes to follow him around? Shouldn't great QBs be able to function at a high level no matter what?

just some thoughts..

You are not very smart.

lolwut?

Alex Smith is a top 15 QB.

Name me 25 QBs better than Alex Smith.

Mike Wallace changed teams and his production went down- he must have derailed mentally!

Just as Crabs was lazy, Bowe was lazy, etc.

You're doing some serious gymnastics here to try and validate your point of view. The fact that you can't see it is even weirder than the fact that you followed a middling QB to another team in the first place.

Because these teams have to win by scoring a bazillion points. The Chiefs are just trying to score 20.

Why couldn't they score points by using lesser resourced WRs?

See, you really can't get around this. If the great QBs could excel with anyone at WR.. these teams would not pay the level of resources they do to acquire or retain them. They do it because as their receiving corps dips in talent... so do their high-paid QBs.

Rodgers made those guys in GB. Just like Luck is doing in Indy. You think they miss the throw to Wilson that would have beat Pitt and put us in the playoffs????

LOL. Now its 15?

Ok....off the top of my head:

Calvin Johnson
Odell Beckham JR
Demaryius Thomas
AJ Green
Dez Bryant
Randall Cobb
Jordy Nelson
Julio Jones
Antonio Brown
Brandon Marshall
Victor Cruz
Larry Fitzgerald
Desean Jackson
Jeremy Maclin
ALshon Jeffrey
Andre Johnson

Hows that?

Hey, you drink as much as I have through the years, you lose brain cells! lol

So let's look back.

"Hilton is not a top 10 WR"

"I say he is. Name 10 WRs better" (this allows you to name 9 WRs better)
"I say he is. Name 15 WRs better" (this allows you to name 14 WRs better)

I did you a favor... by giving you more space to scramble for 14 WRs to be better.. therefore clearly helping you push Hilton out of the top 10... which is a benefit to your argument.

So... you drank more than me, eh?

How much you think Hilton gets paid by Indy? If what you say is true... Hilton will be released when his contract runs out... right?

Why pay Randall Cobb 10 mil per when you already have some solid WR talent there?

Umm... you surround great QBs with good receivers because you have to win games by passing the ball. Because if you can't pass the ball, most of those teams aren't good at running the ball or playing defense. Even if you surround Alex Smith with great receivers, you're not going to win the game by passing the ball.

Do you think with Green Bay's or Pittsburgh's defense you're going to get away with a QB with a <30% third down efficiency and strings of consecutive 3 and outs?
