Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady have won a shitload of games behind terrible supporting casts.
The o-line protecting Peyton in his last season in Indy was criminally bad. The Saints, Green Bay, Indy, and New England have played way too many years with criminally bad running backs. The Saints have good receivers. They are made to look a whole lot better behind Brees. They've won games with David Patten and Terrence Copper as their #2's. Aaron Rodgers won a Super Bowl when he was pretty much missing the entire starting receiving corps.
The idea that QBs are the product of their supporting cast is completely silly.

Yes, Andrew Luck is an absolute stud, and I didn't say that if Alex Smith played for a team like the Saints, Falcons, or Packers that he would be those guys. I specifically said hes not of that caliber, but you mean to honestly tell me that James Jones, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Jermichael Finley aren't more talented than what the Chiefs have as receiving options?
And about the Saints. They nearly had 3 1000 yard receivers last year.
Colston, Lance Moore, and Jimmy Graham all had 900 plus yards.
I don't even understand your point about bringing up the saints.
and if what you say is true.
Why did tom brady get so pissed when wes welker left, and why did the broncos see it as so important to add a player of Wes Welkers ability if receivers really don't matter. Shouldn't someone as good as Peyton Manning be able to elevate anyone?
