OK. Well this is a really rudimentary breakdown-doesn't really get into how much the QB and WR played together-but here you are:
Lance Alworth-no HOFers really, except for Roger Staubach Alworth's final year. Interesting to note a copule of the QBs who threw to him while he was in San Diego, Don Breaux and Dan Henning
Raymond Berry-Johnny Unitas
Fred Biletnikoff-George Blanda. random stat alert-both Alworth and Biletnikoff caught passes from Dick Wood...too bad Vernon Davis (VD) wasn't around then
Tom Fears-Bob Waterfield, Norm Van Brocklin
Elroy Hirsch-Bob Waterfield, Norm Van Brocklin
Charlie Joiner-Dan Fouts
Steve Largent-none, though Dave Krieg does have some impressive statistics
Dante Lavelli-Otto Graham
James Lofton-Jim Kelly
Don Maynard-Joe Namath. Also, in 1960 and 61 his head coach was none other than Sammy Baugh and Maynard too was the proud recipient of Dick Wood passes. On a side note, looking at his numbers Joe Namath doesn't belong in the HOF. Is he in simply because of a guarantee?
Tommy McDonald-Sonny Jurgensen, Norm Van Brocklin
Bobby Mitchell-Len Dawson (but just a handful of plays), Sonny Jurgensen
Pete Pihos-None
John Stallworth-Terry Bradshaw
Lynn Swann-Terry Bradshaw
Charley Taylor-Sonny Jurgensen
Paul Warfield-None
