you need both but I tend to think that a Really Really good QB can make avg WRs look elite at times

I've seen Elite WRs make avg QBs... look a slight above avg lol
 
Not understanding how to answer. I marked QB because the QB makes the WR.

Good QB and good WR work well together. I just feel we have seen more instances of a QB going from ok in college to great in the NFL when paired with good WR's (coaches too) than we have of ok WR going to great in the NFL. Granted most of that is because of opportunity (easier for an avg QB to get drafted than avg WR) but that kind of answers the question.
 
Good answers all around. Without WRs that can get open, the QB has no one to throw to. And, if the QB can't throw the ball within the catch radius, a great WR still has no catches.

Also, the scheme is important as well. Manziel is a prime example.

Manziel is an example of an elite WR making a QB look good. Evans was a man among boys in college, and Ricky Seals-Jones was pretty darn good too.

The question really came into focus for me during the Oklahoma-LSU game during LSU's title run. Was Burrows really a great QB or was it the stable of WRs? I saw those receivers open consistently by 10-15 yards and wondered if Burrows was really that good. He turned out pretty decent but that is the origin of my question.

I get it. Look at how spare Bryce looked when Bama lost a couple of WR's.
 
@ Iowa State this year, it is defnitely the WR making the difference.
Xavier Hutchinson is a Biletnikoff Finalist.
107 catches!

That is one that came to my mind. Evans was a different breed. The other one of my examples goes way back. I've always thought Swann and Stallworth made Bradshaw look good. All Bradshaw had to do was throw it somewhere in the area and those two would go get it. But that may be just the way I saw it.
 
What about linebackers??

 
I choose offensive line.

As a team who's recently had 2 NFL WR's on the roster without a QB to throw to them....I can tell you, for certain, it's a QB. Imagine not being able to pass the ball when Nico Collins and Donovan Peoples-Jones are your starting wideouts.
 
Huskies were 4-8 last year with mostly the same WR's and o-line. People were questioning why UW didn't have any decent WR's.

Two of them are over 1k this year and look elite. 2 others are having solid years.

Morris was not good. Penix is elite.

There have been notable WR's over the years that made impact for the team. Reggie Williams comes to mind. They can help elevate a team and make their QB look better, but it has far more often been the other way. A great QB can make an average WR look outstanding.

Burrow was a monster vs UGA and Clemson that year. 2019 LSU was just a combination of elite QB + elite WR + elite play calling. Probably the offense we'll see in a long time
 
The other thing, and I may be way off on this. Does the QB or the WR read the defense?
 
The three Biletnikoff Finalsts this year:

Stroud to Harrison, Jr.
Hooker to Hyatt
Dekkers to Hutchinson

Obviously, the key for the WR is to have a last name that starts with "H"!

FWIW, I think Hyatt deserves the Biletnikoff, but I'd love X to bring it on home!
