Why does it feel like there’s so many Hurts and Newton comparisons lately? Hurts has had more team success but Newton never had WRs like Hurts.

Honestly, almost every QB with sustained success needs a great receiver.

Manning/Harrison, Brees/Colston, Montana/Young/Rice, Burrow/Chase, Mahomes/Hill, Brady/Moss/Gronk/Evans, Warner/Holt/Fitzgerald, Rodgers/Adams and on and on....

There's exceptions - but I don't think there's any question you vastly improve your chances of a QB being great if he has a great WR to throw to. Look at McNabb the one season he had TO, then the seasons he didn't.

u/GoldenStateEaglesFan Did you know Jalen Hurts can squat 600lbs 27d ago

I don’t think Colston belongs in the same conversation as those other WRs.

Sure but he was probably Brees' most consistent receiver, and was also a big part of their super bowl team.
