You can say that about pretty much any position apart from QB. The NFL even sees its fair share of great pass rushers and left tackles on shitty teams. Happens quite often.
Let's just take the left tackle position, which many people claim is the 2nd or 3rd most important position in football. The teams around those guys will change, and maybe those guys will see success, but there are a ton of all-time great LTs who don't have rings. Anthony Munoz. Willie Roaf. Joe Thomas. Ron Yary. Walter Jones. And let's take a guy like Orlando Pace, even. Got a ring. Had a nice run of 2-3 years. What happened before and after that playoff stretch with Warner, though? Rams went back to losing.
It's hard to win in football. You spend time acquiring and building your team the right way, and inevitably you're still probably going to spend your career in the era of a superhuman like Patrick Mahomes or a creepy undead robot who protects sexual predators like Bill Belichick.
WRs are in the same boat as everybody else, man.
