There is no QB in the NFL that can do that except one, and he still doesn't have horrible weapons right now either. Brady looked meh when Gronk wasn't around in 2013. Brees looks bad right now. All the good QBs have weapons, so stop trying to act like they don't.
Philip Rivers had a career year when he lost everyone around him and had to throw to no-names a lot of the season.
That's not taking away from any other QB in the league, but that's just why I think Philip Rivers is underrated and on par with, if not better, than some of the other guys that people consider "elite".
Good QBs make good receivers look even better and good receivers make good QBs look even better. It's just the way it goes. You aren't going to find many NFL teams where there's a great QB without at least 1 or 2 receivers that are considered to be pretty good themselves. It's just a chicken or the egg argument at that point. Some will say the WR in question makes the QB better and other people will argue the opposite. It's nearly impossible to come to a conclusion in that type of discussion, people will believe what they want to believe.
As you said, all the good QBs have weapons, at least it's perceived as such. It comes down to whether you think the QB is making the receivers look a little better or vice versa.
