Great question and in line with what I was thinking...no TE or WR is better than the QB throwing to them. Nick Mullens used Kittle as a crutch (their next best receiver was Pettis in 2018) and not surprisingly, Kittle put up big numbers. Garoppolo didn't target Kittle much and as time went on Shanahan put the clamps on Garoppolo. Purdy spreads the ball around much more, but he has too many weapons, so Kittle doesn't get near the targets that Kelce gets...and of course there is no better thrower than Mahomes
