Has any receivers career been more defined by one QB (1 Viewer)

I know it's been discussed but I put the #'s on paper

Bennett's pro-career

235/3402/22 in 72 games

Avg of 3.2/47/0.30

50/882/10 in the 9 games that Volek and Bennett both started.

Avg of 5.5/98/1.1

185/2520/12 in the 63 games that were non Volek starts

Avg of 2.9/40/0.20

in 12% of Bennett's games with Volek starting he amassed

21% of his total catches

26% of his total receiving yards

45% of his total TD's

you can say the numbers are skewed somewhat because a bunch of those games were ones that Bennett played early in his career when he was still learning the system..

well last year...in the 12 games last year that McNair and Bennett both started he put up

55/706/4

Avg of 4.5/59/0.33

better than his career non-volek starts but still nowhere near the Volek-Bennett connection

edited for adjustment in last stats b/c Bennett played only 13 games (12 of which were non-Volek starts)

moss and culpepper?

 

[zamboni]

Good point, although Bennett looked pretty good with Collins back there, and Kerry was locking into him. Of course, Young will likely be in there soon, so all bets could be off.

moss and culpepper?

Moss was good pre-culpepperhe put up 1313/171413 /11in the two pre-daunte years

This is kind of where I was heading.. As a Jet fan I saw Collins lock into Bennett in a way that McNair never seemed to.. Young played only one series so it's hard to tell but I don't remember any targets to Bennett during that series.If Collins can be Billy Volek-esque when playing with Benett, he could be a very nice sleeper

 

[MrPhoenix]

Young/Rice?

 

[jhib]

Young/Rice?

Not even the first QB I think of throwing to Rice.

 

[Sidewinder]

Patrick Jeffers / Steve Beuerlein ?

bledsoe price

 

[zamboni]

bledsoe price

Good one - Price hasn't been the same since. Although he didn't last long in Dallas when he was reunited with Bledsoe.

 

[zamboni]

Maybe after this year: Horn/Brooks

 

[jerseys finest]

troy aikman to irvin

 

[bizkliz]

kordell to yancey?

man, remeber when kordell was a top 10 pick after his first breakout year?

Blake/Pickens

Andre Reed -----> Jim Kelly

Marvin Harrison -----> Peyton Manning

How about Anthony Wright to Marcus Robinson in Baltimore? They were college teammates and Robinson had the best stretch of his career. Remember when he caught 4 TD's in one game?

moss and culpepper?

Moss was good pre-culpepperhe put up 1313/171413 /11in the two pre-daunte years

On the contrary, if you'd asked has any QBs career been more defined by one WR, then CPepp/Moss would be a good answer.

Brett Favre -------------------------------------->Robert Brooks is the only one I can think of right now. If I am not mistaken Brooks made the probowl as a member of the Packers.

 

[Marc Levin]

Interestingtake on Bennett - Volek, but Bennet had a pretty gosh darned good game one this year - and Volek was holding a clipboard.

 

[Marc Levin]

p.s. - I'd say Moss-Culpepper is the clearest similarity - both have been suxor without the other.

Moss didn't suck his first two years with Randal Cunningham. He also didn't suck the first few games with Kerry Collins last year - it was when he got injured he fell apart.

TO & McNabb?

TO and Garcia/Steve Young down?

That was not his best stretch. The las 5 games of that year he went for 360 and 6. He had a better stretch/season in 1999 when he put up 1400 and 9 in CHI (with a 800 and 7, 7 game stretch and an 1100 and 9 10 game stretch) with the medioce M QB's (Mattews, Miller and McNown) throwing the ball.

About time someone brought up Harrison/Manning.

Moss didn't suck his first two years with Randal Cunningham. He also didn't suck the first few games with Kerry Collins last year - it was when he got injured he fell apart.

Also, Culpepper didn't suck at all with Nate Burleson.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Brett Favre or Jeff Blake to just about whomever was the #1 WR that year. Remember that one year Travis Taylor was sorta good? Yeah...

 

[Ghost Rider]

Blake/Pickens

That was my first thought.

 

[Illmatic]

Todd Devoe and Bradlee Van Pelt

 

[TinHat]

Favre -> Antonio Freeman

Brett Perriman-Scott Mitchell

2 years with Mitchell 202/2509/14

After Mitchell 25/392/1 cut by two NFL teams in the same year and never played again.

Brett Perriman-Scott Mitchell2 years with Mitchell 202/2509/14After Mitchell 25/392/1 cut by two NFL teams in the same year and never played again.

Mitchell and Dave Krieg split time in '94...Krieg throwing 14 touchdowns, Mitchell 10 touchdowns. Perriman started out in New Orleans, and played 10 seasons in the NFL. Perriman had a couple other nice years before Mitchell where he had roughly 800 yards per season. Perriman did have his best years with Mitchell no doubt, but you gotta show the whole picture

88-215yds89-35690-38291-66892-81093-49694-761Not exactly setting the world on fire before Mitchell was the full time starter.

Harrison + Manning are the record-holders for lots of the one Qb to one WR stuff.Marino and Mark Duper are another good oneKenny O'Brian and Al ToonElway + Shannon Sharpe (I know, a TE)
