My list is

1. New England (Great Wide Receivers and Great qb = #1
2. Arizona (Pure talent)
3. Indianapolis (Great Receivers Great quarterback but not very durable, that gets them down)

He does have a point though(not the part about Brady making Moss look good although you COULD make a slight case about it). I mean hell, Brady turned Troy Brown into a 1,000 receiver 2-3 years in a row and into a Pro Bowler and turned Jabar Gaffney into AT LEAST a marginal receiver when before that he wasn't even a below average receiver. And also don't forget about David Patten and Deion Branch although the jury's still out on him because he's been injured a couple times last season.

But yea, if we're basing this list off RIGHT NOW then it should go:

1. Zona
2. New England
3. Cinci
4a. Indy
4b. Green Bay
4c. NY Giants

Compare each player's 2 best career marks without the other

Brady Career Highs:
Completion %: 62.1 and 61.8
Yards: 4110 and 3764
TD: 28 and 28
Rating: 92.6 and 92.3

Brady Last Year:
Completion %: 68.9
Yards: 4806
TD: 50
Rating: 117.2

Moss Career Highs:
Catches: 111 and 106
Yards: 1632 and 1437
YPC: 19.0 and 18.7
TDs: 17 and 17

Moss Last Year:
Catches: 98
Yards: 1493
YPC: 15.2
TDs: 23

The only thing Moss had improve is TDs. It was certainly one of his better seasons, but overall, it is a normal Moss season. If placed in say, 2002, it wouldn't really stick out statistically. Brady has absolutely monstrous improvements in every single category. He didn't beat his average seasons, it obliterates them.

As for Troy Brown, he didn't have a huge improvement with Brady.
2000: 83 catches for 944 yards and 4 TDs
2001: 101 catches for 1199 yards and 5 TDs

His second best season was the year before Brady became QB. He was used more once Brady became the QB, but didn't do anything that really exceeds what he did with Bledsoe. Manning has had far more impact on RBs, TEs, and WRs than has Brady.

They were all pretty good QB's before they got Moss, and they all had a nice range of talent around him, especially when he was in Minnesota.

I guess his stint in Oakland doesn't count.

Great player, but you give him way to much credit.

Cunningham was a backup the 2 years before and after Moss, yet All NFL with Moss.

Culpepper was an "elite" QB with Moss and bout to be on his fourth team without Moss.

Brady was arguably the best QB in the NFL, but now is on another level than before he had Moss.

Moss never has been affected by quarterbacks the way quarterbacks have been affected by Moss.

I would have to go with Indy

their QB definitely helps, but the production of Harrison and Wayne the past few seasons speak for themselves. Both of those WRs have been better than any of the Cardinals up and coming WRs.
