This past year as the Lion's #1 WR with all world QB Stafford, he had 55 catches 930 yards and 4 TDs. It looks like his stats were relatively equal both years but when you consider he had fewer targets as a #2 sometimes #3 WR with the Bengals than as the #1 receiver for the Lions ... ...
As to the overall topic at hand, if you consider Dalton to simply be an average QB, then you clearly don't know much about football. If you believe Dalton to be in the 10-15 range of QBs, then you do NOT view him as average, but rather above average.
He was not the #1 receiver in Detroit...but do not let facts get in the way of your narrative. lol.
FYI - Marvin Jones had the 4th most receptions on the team. #2 in Yards, #2 in TD. The longest average per catch.
So in reality playing with an "All WOrld QB" can have a 4th option WR produce like a #2 with a QB that is capable of doing less with the football through the air.
