Maybe look at a younger guy like Darius Slayton, who's been on a crappy team with a questionable QB for his entire, short NFL career? That dude would absolutely flourish with Joey B throwing him the ball and none of the Jermaine Burton drama, either.
Please find me some receivers who leveled up due to QB play. It doesn’t really happen. People mention that you get more out of players when they play with the a better QB… it’s really really hard to find those examples, especially when they are in that Darius Slayton mold. You might get a 10% bump, but expecting more is fools gold.
Amari cooper (better than Slayton over his career)… was a 1,100 yard guy with Oakland, Dallas and Cleveland regardless of QB situation.
Brandin cooks (also better), was an 1,100 yard guy with NO, NE, LAR and Houston… irregardless of QB.
Mohamed Sanu went from dalton to HOF Matt Ryan.
56-790-5
66-838-4
One is the best season with dalton, the other one is with Matt Ryan. Now, dalton is better than Daniel Jones, but I think the point is relevant. It’s like this with 95%+ of FA WRs
There are likely exceptions… but normally you are what you are.
