Green was as sure handed as they come, and last season, more drops, more routes he broke off or balls he didn't try for because Andy is not consistent. You think a wide out doesn't get tired of inaccurate throws? You think a wide out doesn't start to realize the ball may or may not be where it's supposed to be? Put any receiver on a team with Brady, Manning, Brees, Rogers and see how they elevate their play. The ball is on time, where it's supposed to be. A receiver trust his QB isn't going to hang him out to dry or miss him completely. Better coaching, better QB play, I don't see any way that Gresh doesn't show the first round talent he had.
I just think Dalton's inaccuracy is overblown a bit. Sure he has a few games every year where he really sails some throws, but for the most part he's fairly on target. I don't think he's so bad that it gets in receiver's heads, or that Andy is to blame for drops. I just think some folks try to blame every problem on the QB.
Sure, if you put any receiver with the QB's you named (all elite), they're probably going to be better off, but I don't think Gresh's problems were with the QB. I think they're in his head. He'd run incorrect routes, drop passes that were between the numbers and he had 6 fumbles in his last 108 catches.
If he has those problems in NO, it won't matter how good Brees is, because Brees will start to ignore him. Elite QB's don't stand for that crap. Gresh had 1st round physical skills, but until he gets it together upstairs, he won't be any better in NO than he was here.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
