Best at every number

Bengals w/o Chase. Went 3-1 and had some great offensive games.

Eagles w/o Hurts, are irrelevant.

Hell, if Burrow is out, Chase is irrelevant.

No player on any team impacts a game like the QB. That's why team are constantly searching for "the guy". Hurts is, the guy. He isn't Burrow, but he is a franchise QB you can build around.

Keep in mind, Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson, the two most impactful WR's in the recent history of the NFL. 0 Super Bowl wins. QB > WR everytime.

If it was Most Valuable at Every Jersey Number, I'd agree that QB's should have the edge, but it's Best at Every Jersey Number.

We did go 3-1 with Chase out, but didn't play a single playoff team in that stretch.  And that loss was an ugly 32-13 drubbing by the Browns in which the offense couldn't do anything.  The Bengals would later drop the Browns 23-10 with Chase in the lineup.  Plus the Bengals didn't play a defense ranked higher than 13th in that span.  

That Eagles team was absolutely stacked last year.  The only reason they were 0-2 with Hurts out is Minnishew had 3 picks and 4 fumbles.  How does your backup sucking make you a better individual player?  

There's all time greats at every position that never won a SB.  And seriously, what does team success have to do with individual greatness?
