I think the overall stats (as quoted above) don't really represent what A++ receivers can do. I think that Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzpatrick, Andre Johnson, et al are the type of WRs when the called play goes bad the QB can "huck" it to, realizing it will be received or batted down.

Absolutely those players can bail out a Quarterback, an Offensive drive and sometimes even a game. But look at the names that you listed. Megatron was drafted in '07, Fitzgerald in '04 and Johnson in '03. Those guys just don't come around that often. And of that lot, only one of them even played in a Super Bowl. 

I'm not saying that I will turn my nose up at a high quality WR. But I am saying that when you ignore what "just good" players can do for you, you do so at your own peril.
