When Norm Van Brocklin and Bob Waterfield were sharing QB (both making the pro bowl in the same season) they had some weapons. There was NCAA 100 champ Bob Boyd, future Hall of Famers Tom Fears and "Crazy Legs" Hirsh to throw to..
When handing off there was Deacon Dan Towler and Tank Younger both around 225 back in the 50's. Talking Rams there.
When the Steelers were kicking ass, Bradshaw had a Hall of Famer RB Franco Harris and two Hall of Fame receivers in John Stallworth and Lynn Swann (Cali long jump champ)
Dan Marino had Mark Clayton, Mark Duper and Tony Nathan.
Johnny U with Hall of Famers Ray Berry, Lenny Moore, John Mackay. Moore the first great receiving RB, would be in the slot today.
Dan Fouts had a 1000 yard rusher in Chuck Muncie, a 1000 yard TE in Kellon Winslow, and 1000 yard receivers Charlie Joiner and John Jeffeson all in the same season.
The great Otto Graham had the great Marion Motley hauling the rock and the great Dante Lavelli catching it, all in the Hall of Fame.
Randy Moss AND Chris Carter on the Vikes
The Snake had future Hall of Famers, Dave Casper, Fred Biletnikoff, Cliff Branch.
Montana had Jerry Rice, John Taylor and Roger Craig.
Mahomes did have Tyreek "Cheetah" Hill and Travis Kelce.
The Hall of Famer Troy Aikman had the Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin.
A QB needs his weapons.
Lack of weapons is what makes Jim Brown so great, who can give me the Browns TE/WR in his day, can't do it can ya, he was the offense. So teams were geared to stop him, yep, couldn't do it, He STILL averaged over 5 yards a carry and 100 yards a game for the career.
He did have speedy Bobby Mitchell for 4 seasons, not really Thunder & Lighting because Brown also had some Lighting.
Trivia
Browns coach Paul Brown......I would trade Jim Brown to get him.......who?, yep another RB.
