    And look at Wes Welker with Tom Brady. Or Garcon and Wayne with Manning (and now without).

    Schaub is a legit 2nd tier QB. Therefore, the lack of TDs for Andre is pretty alarming.

    I would trade Matt Schaub for a Jeff Garcia any day without hesitation.

    Garcon looks better with Painter than he ever has with Manning.

    Calvin and Andre are both the top 2 receivers in the game, so either side can debate who is clearly the top dog in the NFL. No is completely wrong by picking between either of them.

    It's not homerism when you say Andre is the best. Being a homer would probably be someone saying, "OMG, I think Schaub is the Greatest QB in the World or Owen Daniels is the greatest TE in the universe!"

    To summarize the arguments from a variety of threads:

    Schaub is a really good QB.
    Kubiak's strength as a head coach is his brilliant offensive system and that's why he should be the head coach.

    Andre is the best receiver, and would have more TDs if only his QB didn't have a noodle arm and could throw him the ball deep, and if only the system wasn't so stupid as to never target him in the red zone.

    That would be delusional more than homerism... but in fantasy football land ... TD's> stellar route running + yardage+ receptions, and consistency

    While I agree with you that a different QB and system probably equals more touchdowns for Andre, he does not have the "same ability" to just "out jump and catch it" like Calvin does. Calvin is bigger, jumps higher and has better hands.

    The one thing CJ has on Moss is that he is much stroger and goes over the middle with no problem, he is not afraid to take a big hit.

    CJ is like a Moss and TO in the same body. But I still have to admit that Moss in his prime was maybe the best WR ever, even better than Rice.

    Last year CJ played with Shan Hill and Draw Stanton and still had 12 TD's.

    Even in 08 with Dan Orlovsky and John Kinta as his QB he still had 12 TD's So I am pretty sure if CJ played with Schaub he would still get 10+ TD's

    Andre has a vertical 4inches less and is only 2 inches shorter than Calvin. They are both big dudes, so yes Dre can do the same Calvin does is he had a QB con cojones

    So far this year the best WR definitely goes to Calvin Johnson.

    I don't really care who's better, I'm just glad to have Andre on this team.

    It's easy to say that right now with AJ out for the past 2 weeks.
