They're doing it with much less, and Pryor is doing it behind a dreadful o line. McCown is the one that has people believing the hype machine.

What else is there to go off of? EJ Manuel has yet to play a down in any NFL regular season games, and Terrelle Pryor has a 46% completion average for his one season in the NFL.. McCown has a career 58 % completion percentage.

As far as doing more with less.. Except with the Texans Luke has been using second/third/fourth string WR in preseason and the other two have been running with the starters or same.

On a side note, that old adage that playing behind a great QB for a number of years helps has been dis-proven by Matt Flynn... He has also proven that the Packers are no better at drafting QBs than anyone else.
