I think Bowe is a great wr, but a record setting guy I don't see it like Boss does.
I also don't know why Bowe has to be a top 3 guy. Is there anything wrong with having a top 6 or 7 wr in the league?
I agree that you are saying he hasn't done it in big games, but for me a wr is only as good as the quarterback given him. I would like to see what Bowe and Baldwin could do with Orton.

No, I never said he has to be top 3. I'm saying pay the guy. I'm just puzzled that people are so convinced that he's an elite receiver in this league or that he's going to shatter records. Again... the key for me is not stats or where he ranks. I want to know if he's a guy who will make big plays and can put together 3-4 straight badass playoff performances, even if elite defenses and corners get in your way. We just don't know that yet.
Yes, I believe Fitzgerald and Megatron could make bad Quarterbacks good in ways Bowe does not. They are more athletic, they are much quicker... these guys are just fine even as jumpball receivers--you just throw the ball up, and these guys are going to find a way to catch it. Fitzgerald had terrific production last season, by the way, around a shaky QB situation.
The other thing to keep in mind is that Orton and better talent around him makes the offense better, but it's probably going to make Bowe less productive. Charles is going to eat up a lot of yards. And Orton is going to spread the ball around.
