Is Antonio Brown really that good, or did Big Ben make him?

Same for Romo but you're judged against your contemporaries. I'm not saying Ben sucks or isn't historically great. But AB has absolutely been a better receiver than Ben has been at QB. Ijs this entire thread is asinine because good players are generally better when surrounded by good players on either end and we get nowhere trying to rob credit from one component to elevate another. I've been hearing this kinda stuff since I was a kid with the cowboys. Emmitt wouldn't have his numbers without the line and an offense based around him but maybe Aikman has better numbers if they didn't have a red zone monster like Emmitt. Jerry Rice probably wouldn't have his numbers without Walsh, Montana and Young and vice versa. But since it's impossible to separate the two were just gonna go in circular argument.
