Williams and Pinner did little in that 91 GC win though - but getting the ball to all 5 of a great 5 pack every game would not be easy - some guys get covered well in match-ups or the D takes something away or they can be more decoys to open things up for other receivers.
Pure talent wise and CFL best season resume wise - it would be hard to argue with that corps. And they didn't need to have a Terry Greer or Mookie Mitchell amazing single, individual season - I'm going by the 5 on the field.
Most successful coaches are ruthless at times. The Argos dropped Jeff Boyd and Chris Munford from the lineup late in the 1991 season even thought both guys had made very important contributions to that point.

Terry Greer is an all-time CFL great receiver IMO and probably greatest Argo talent there ever; but (IMO again) he's the only receiver from the 83 five pack that makes the 91 version. David Williams, Paul Masotti and Rocket Ismail were all quite a bit more talented receivers than any of Tolbert, Pearson & Carinci (though I like all 3 of those guys as well); and as far as receiving backs - Minter was a very good one, but Pinball was just flat out way better - better hands, better YAC ability.
As I wrote in another thread, we don't appear to be laden with speed at receiver.
