Rodgers has had two-Jennings and Nelson, and neither are Gronk or Moss.  Graham hasn't been a 1k receiver in 5 years, so I don't count him, as I don't count Ochocinco for NE. So even if people are judging them as if they were to line up with only 2 or 3 WRs and a TE and execute a vanilla offense, he's still been far ahead of the curb. But much of the offense succeeds because of the utilization of the RBs as basically a bunch of extra slot WRs, giving him a lot of easy targets so they can execute their "death by a thousand cuts" gameplan.  And those years they had Hernandez and Gronk, they were nearly impossible to defend.  When he didn't have these types of targets prior to 2007, he didn't have the stats, either.  But he's had the best supporting casts in the league since then.  Brees is the only elite QB who arguably has a better offensive coach.</blockquote>
