    When not counting QB play, it is the Jets easily.

    I think I would have to agree with JIB knowing my biases. Sometimes I wonder what this team would be like with Peyton Manning at QB. Every game would be like Madden or something.

    I'd have to go with Jets as well but Baltimore is a very close, photo-finish second.

    Hard to say the Jets considering the timing of their passing O right now and dropping almost everything thrown their way in the GB game.

    The probably are the most talented in the AFC, though.

    Baltimore has some big names, but outside of Boldin they are past their primes.

    True, but they are pretty effective for the way Baltimore runs their offense.

    Baltimore's receiving core is good but they're all possession guys.

    You have to remove QB play because it correlates to production.

    Its easily the Jets hands down.

    It's hard to say - I'm not convinced that Bundchen would be as good with the Jets' receiving corps, but I think Peyton would be even better. You've got to match your receivers to your QB's strengths and I think that we're still trying to create the chemistry for Sanchez that Manning and Bundchen have with theirs. I'd love to see a receiver with the ability of Welker or Dallas Clark available for Sanchez when he goes mobile as I think that's when he's at his best.

    Don't forget that all of our guys are 28 or younger. That should make things a little more clear.

    If you want to look at just individual skillsets it has to be the Jets. If you want to look at how the WRs work with the team as a whole, I like Baltimore. I think they're going to really turn it on as Stallworth starts stretching the field and Flacco continues to develop.

    I think Jets
    Although I think the Chargers when healthy and not suspended have a good group. Of course it could be because of the QB (like in Indy)

    Too much credit being given to Manning, and not enough to Clyde Christiansen. He's now the OC, but he was the WRs coach before this season. He's the best in the league. If Indianapolis wasn't banged all to hell, the answer would be the colts. It still may be.
