They are clearly the elite receivers in this league right now.

But anyone that argues that a better QB wouldn't have an impact on DBowe's production is a ****ing moron (I'm looking directly at you Chiefzilla).

Andre Johnson had a couple of good games against the Bengals and Ravens, but he, in no way, shape, or form, took over either of those games and beasted the way that Fitzgerald did in the Cards SB run in '06.

TJ Yates.

Kurt Warner.

QBs make a difference.

When did I ever say a new QB doesn't make Bowe better? People here are acting like a good QB is holding Bowe back from being an elite receiver. It's not. He is physically limited from being elite, probably. Yes, a good QB is probably holding him back from being a better receiver. I'm saying that right now, nobody knows yes or no if he's a clutch WR (we'll find out when we get a new QB). I'm saying he doesn't have the insane trade value people think he has. And I'm saying he doesn't stack up to elite WRs.

As for productivity... this is driving me a little crazy too because it's driven by stats. Getting a new QB doesn't guarantee productivity statwise. In fact, Rodgers, Brees, and Brady spread the ball around so much that each player is going to touch the ball a little bit less.

As for Fitz and Johnson... you're absolutely wrong on this. You can't blame Andre Johnson for not producing behind TJ Yates, given that he was battling hamstring injuries all season. He was never really 100%. And Larry Fitzgerald had a sprained knee a few years ago and QBs that were a million times worse than Cassel the year after. But Fitzgerald had an incredibly productive season last year behind Kolb and Skelton.
