All receivers want the ball. When Rice joined a team, they were better. When he left, they felt the loss (except the Seahawks). When TO joined a team, there was not much effect. You can claim the Eagles, but they went to how many NFC Championship games without TO? They were bound to finally get over the hump, just like Bill Cowher with the Steelers. The Eagles were solid contenders before TO.

How much better did the cowboys do when they signed him?
