And isn't that the point? Mahomes can have a solid QBR and the Chiefs can be 3-1 even without those WR statistics.
Would you like other proof like a SB victory last year?
You're so desperate for WR stats rather than team wins it borders on comical. But you're also the guy who chimes in on Thielen's rent money contract...
I'm still waiting for how you would've addressed our OL after giving him that money. Not sign Omenihu, perhaps? Or then would you have bitched about how we didn't do anything to fortify the DL?

Of course a great Wr can’t elevate a bad qb. Neither can a stellar OL or defense. Qb is the most important position to the game and it’s devastating not to have a great one, let alone a good one. Guess what, we learned pretty quickly that there’s only so much a GOAT qb can do to elevate underperforming WRs also.
It absolutely elevates average QBs and especially great ones. Tannehill is washed but tell me losing AJ brown wasn’t devastating to them last season. Tell me burrow and hurts make deep playoff runs without elite WRs. It isn’t about WR stats. It is about all the ways you can open the playbook when you have one and as we’re seeing now, all the ways you close the playbook without them. Sideline routes, back shoulder throws, jump balls, or even just passes just out of reach that only your guy can get to… these are the kinds of bailout throws other QBs get that we don’t. And it doesn’t have to be that way.
