Brady went without a decent Recieving threat for most of his career. And think, while Wes Welker is a good receiver, do you think he gets the same kind of prouduction if he stays in Miami?

Randy Moss was practically useless in Oakland without a top rated passer giving him the ball.

Anthony Gonzalez had a pretty good rookie campagin, but what do you think happens to him if he gets drafted by Atlanta, Carolina, or KC?

David Patten got 792 yards last year. You think that Colston and Henderson develop into anything if they go to a team with mediocre QB play?

There will always be Receivers that make plays no matter who the QB is. You can look at guys like Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, A. Boldin, and L. Fitgerald and know that they could put up a 1,000+ yards even if a fan that won a halftime ticket stub contest was throwing to them. Theres a good chance that all of the guys that we'll have a chance to acquire in the next two won't be that kind of player, however if we develop Jason Campbell and give him the protection he needs up front (B. Albert plug) then it won't matter if we sign Johnson or Hacket, the offense will still be able to produce.

Sure it can be done without an elite WR but I think we would all agree that having a great WR would make it easier for JC. See Romo in Dallas as an example. And since JC developing is the top priority for the franchise we should do everything to make that development as smooth as possible.
