I'd say he's had two seasons, 2010 and 2011, where he's definitely been an elite receiver. And I think you can say the SAME thing about Calvin Johnson: 2011 and 2010. The whole reason Bowe is getting paid is the last two years. In two years: #6 in yards, #2 in TDs. Pretty cut and dry to me.

Bowe has done every single thing asked of him in every single shitty situation. What more has the guy got to do to reach "elite"? He simply will not put up monster numbers with the bums we've run out at QB here. |

And before someone brings up TD production, these guys all had elite seasons last year:
Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith, Roddy White. They had 8, 7 and 8 TD. Bowe had 5, and dropped two more. If you're NOT going to categorize what Bowe did in 2011 as elite, you're telling me it was because of two dropped passes? Really?

AND, FYI, Bowe was about half a yard and a knee from a TD against the Raiders, that was called back after review.
If you don't think what Bowe did last year was on par with "elite" you're splitting a lot of hairs IMO.

Tony Gonzalez was "elite" in 2007.
He had 5 TD.

People are acting as if his place among WR's -when comparing the 1st five years of a career, or even just the last five years period - is some sort of accident. And that's ignoring the QB play completely. Again, no one has made more chicken salad out of more chicken shit than Bowe. |

White has been targeted a lot more than Bowe, and has a lower drop rate. If Bowe had the ball come his way as often as White does, he would probably produce as well as, but probably better than White. Probably better because of the QB he has throwing to him.

White 2010 - 7.26 Bowe 2011 - 10.99 White 2011 - 13.04 Pretty freaking close, and Bowe was better in 2011.

You're a ****ing tard. The only point I have argued against Bowe is that he isn't Fitz/Megatron good. He is not top 3. I then argued as to why. He is in the next tier though.

Man, you wanna hear a statistic that really puts 2011 vs 2010 into perspective?
"Catchable" passes thrown to Dwayne Bowe: 2010 - 80 - 72 REC 2011 - 91 - 81 REC

Devils advocate...
According to the actual players in the NFL... Bowe isn't even one of the top 100 players in the league. |

It's also very telling that Albert fired his agent recently.
The same agent that represents Bowe. Must have thought/heard that he didn't fulfill his duties as well as expected. |
