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'm willing to bet Vincent Jackson puts up much better numbers than Bowe this year and next because he's going to be playing a young, accurate, strong-armed QB who is going to lean on him heavily.

Bowe is going to be in a flux state because of this contract BS and QB BS.

Maybe. VJ played with Rivers, though.

Bowe put up numbers competitive to Vincent Jackson when he was with Rivers (not sure if Jackson was better or not). What's the worst that could happen to Bowe? He gets saddled with a shitty QB? Story of his career.

Eh, yeah you're probably right, and I forgot about Mike Williams AND Kellen Winslow.

That offense is gonna be pretty good. I doubt we win that game.

I didn't understand the Dallas Clark move at all. Dude appeared to be done last year.



I think the Bucs will be better. I can't remember but did they pick up another RB?

I always found it odd that there was an acronym for "if I recall correctly". I don't know why. Not that it's your fault, but you know, whatever.

Didn't they draft a guy? The dude from Boise State, maybe?

VJ probably makes the situation much better, but I've been slightly disappointed in Freeman the last few years. I thought after his rookie year he was on his way to being a top QB, not really now, but could be lack of weapons.

Martin I think they did.



The Bucs had a pretty damn solid offseason.

They did sign a CB that sucked for pretty good money but other than that they were nails.

He had a pedestrian rookie season, an excellent 2nd year, and wasn't as good last year when TB's D collapsed.

All things considered, this is the year he needs to prove himself, and he's set up to do that now that he has better talent around him.

After dealing with several years of Cassel, Freeman looks like Johnny ****ing U.
