This is how you intend to prove your point and you think you can fairly an intelligently make this argument?
Um...no, I do not believe you can. That's quite stupid.
And a single data point? I'm pointing to easily the most salient data point. SNR and others have provided you with several more. A brick need not be a wall, but man this is a BIG damn brick.
DJ Moore is very good. And I reiterate - he left anybody you have in the dust. And no, he's not Tyreek Hill. Nor is Anderson Travis Kelce. And Curtis Samuel essentially IS Mecole Hardman.
Three guys, one season removed from Teddy Bridgewater playing QB for the Broncos, in similar stages in their careers to the Broncos 'superstar trio', strafed those dudes. I mean absolutely waxed their asses. At that rate you could've let them play 20 games to 15 for the Panthers group and the Panthers group would've STILL come out ahead.
That's a terrible effort sport. I'd probably pack it up and head home if that's the best you've got.

If you think Wallace was in decline, take a look at his 2016 season.
Thielen essentially started a run of 1000 yard seasons the moment he stopped playing with Bridgewater.
I noticed that you didn't even bother to mention Rudolph.
MIN's passing game exploded the next season when they ditched Bridgewater and went with the upgrade to Sam Bradford.
Bridgewater's career is littered with receivers who play much better once they play with a different QB.
