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.

Did he say "Dwayne Bowe is asking for a contract like Megatron and Fitzgerald"?

No? Ok, then.

Bowe is worth big money, so this entire debate is unbelievably stupid. Draftabulators are cool with Baldwin and potential compensation. Meanwhile, True Fans like OTWP and myself are diligently arguing for Bowe to get paid accordingly.

Give Bowe 50 million guaranteed, like Deez said, not my money I don't care. He's earned it.



Would you guys give up a 2 to Dallas for Dez right now?

And we don't have any real information that Bowe is asking for a mega-contract.

What we have is some bullshit guesses.

You're cool with 43.5, though?

My financial tabulations show that we enter "cap hell" at 48 guaranteed to Bowe.

What we have is an insider telling us the ballpark Bowe is in.

We also know that Pioli has been very good about extending the top talent on the team to reasonable deals.

We also know that another Chief player, in a contract year, has since fired his agent, the same agent that represents Bowe.

You can sit here and spin shit any way you see to fit your opinion but everything is pointing to Bowe and/or his agent asking for the moon and not budging off of it.
