I posted this in the Russell Wilson contract thread but it makes sense here too. They are great with each other, but could stand on their own ground. You have to look at Adrian's Peterson's stats, because having a great running back to help you out doesn't help make a great QB. Both would be great alone, It would mean that Lynch would have to carry the load more if his QB isn't as great, and Russell would have to throw alot more if he doesn't have a great Running back, but having both make the read option more deadly, and the run game function much better. Without Wilson as a threat though the read option won't work as well, I don't' want to see Tarvaris running a read option keeper only to fall down on his shoulders untouched by anyone.
Adrian Peterson is a good indicator that having a good running back doesn't make the QB look good, look at the stats below. Peterson will get his yards and TDs, so if having one of the best in the backfield is suppose to take pressure off the QB then why is his QBs throwing so many INT and having no more than 22TDs, except for the 2008 and 2009 year?
2013: He had Matt Cassell, Christian Ponder and Josh Freeman combined for 18TD and 19INT, Peterson rushed for 1266 yards and 10 TD in 14 games
2012: Christian Ponder made 18TD and 12INT, Peterson rushed for 2091 yards and 12TD in 16 games
2011: Christian Ponder, Donovan Mcnabe, and Joe Web combined for 20TD and 17INT, Peterson rushed for 970 yards and 12TD in 12 games
2010: Brett Favre, Joe Web and Tarvaris Jackson combined for 14TD and 26INT, Peterson rushed for 1298 yards and 12TD in 15 games
2009: Bret Favre and Tarvaris Jackson combined for 34TD and 7INT, Peterson rushed for 1383 yards and 18TD n 16 games
2008: Gus Frefrotte, Tarvaris Jackson combined for 22TD and 17INT Peterson rushed for 1760 yards and 10TD in 16 games
2007: Tarvaris Jackson, Kelly Holcomb, and Brooks Bollinger combined for 12TD 14INT, Peterson rushed for 1341 yards and 12TD in 16 games
