How does Dwayne Bowe rank among the elite WR's?

Sorry, didn't want this getting overlooked in the other thread. Then again, people will probably ignore it anyway - I know some of you will appreciate this.


I keep seeing people say that Dwayne Bowe isn't an elite WR. So I decided to do some research to see how he matches up statistically over his 5 years in the league.

What I found, is that statistically, Bowe is the 10th best WR of the last 5 years.

I found 9 other WR's that either had better yardage totals, better TD numbers or both. He was 10th in yardage, tied for 6th in TD's.

Here's the list. (Yardage/TD's) Bolded players have fewer or same TD's as Bowe.


Larry Fitzgerald - 6480/49

Roddy White - 6422/42

Reggie Wayne - 6234/36

Wes Welker - 6105/31

Calvin Johnson - 5872/49

Andre Johnson - 5703/35

Greg Jennings - 5539/46

Steve Smith - 5353/29

Marques Colston - 5202/40

Dwayne Bowe - 4927/36


Personally, I think that's impressive on its own.

Especially when you consider the only guy on this list who is younger is Megatron. I'd be curious to see how he matches up to the same players during each of their first 5 seasons.

Anyway, when you compare Bowe's number's to the #1 yardage and #1 TD's - he's not nearly as far off as it seems.

It comes down to 19.41 yard a game, and .16 TD's per game.

Factor in that Bowe is missing something the other 9 have - solid QB play.

After looking at this, its hard for me to say Dwayne Bowe is NOT an elite WR, considering how his numbers match up to the "elite" and never having the benefit of decent QB play.

I'm pretty confident in saying that with solid QB play, Bowe would easily make up 19.41 yards and .16 TD's a game.

Like him or not, he's an elite WR - and has shown it over his 5 years in the league.

Dude deserved elite money.

Or, tl;dr - **** him.

I wouldn't rank him with the elite's.....but I'd rank him along the likes of Brandon Marshall, Miles Austin, and Vincent Jackson.

You know who was known league-wide as a notorious pass dropper for a large stretch of his career?

Jerry. ****ing. Rice.

And it didn't stop after the initial plague of drops at the beginning of his career. Joe Montana got injured, then left, and Rice started dropping shit AGAIN for a couple seasons with Steve Young.

Don't tell me "great" WRs don't drop passes. And let's not pretend that the Ricky Proehls and Joe Jureviciouses out there who catch everything thrown their way are any good, because they're not.

Bowe is a better and more valuable WR to a team than DeSean Jackson. Yes.

After Jackson got his dic knocked off a year or two ago, he's basically a deep threat only.

Depends on what you need. I like Jackson's speed, route running, average ypc, and break away threat. Plus I think he's a couple years younger.
Bowe is nice but you act like we're comparing Jackson to Megatron.
We aren't.

Jackson isn't a good route runner. He's a deep threat. Thats about it.

We aren't.
Jackson's a speedy mother, but he's far from a great route runner. Bowe is far better at that than Jackson.

I don't get why Bowe has to be Megatron to be better than Jackson. Bowe is slower, and that's about the only advantage Jackson has. Well, that and QB obviously.
