A receiver can produce very different numbers depending on who throws him the ball. How much of that connection comes from skill, timing and communication, and how much depends on a quarterback simply trusting a particular receiver?

I’ve noticed some quarterback-receiver duos just seem to know what the other is going to do without needing much communication. Timing, trust, and understanding each other’s habits make a huge difference, especially under pressure. Talent helps, but some pairings never quite click, even when both players are good individually.
