Terrell Davis is one of the most productive single-season rushers of all time, and Denver always had bad RBs run for over 1,000 yards.
None of those guys are elite. Yes, you have to be pretty good to get past a certain level of production. But when you're trying to compare Bowe to Fitzgerald or Andre Johnson, it's pretty damn important to understand how they're getting yards rather than whether they're getting the same number of yards.

While its true that most stats can be spun either way, that doesnt tell the whole story about Bowe imo.
Who's the truly elite WR who has made more with less over the last 5 years? maybe Andre Johnson until Schaub arrived? Some say Bowes being force fed the ball, which is true, but cant that be said for Fitzgerald the last two years?
What i'm saying, is compare the consensus elite guys against the situations Bowe has had to endure... he SHINED with fricking Damon Huard for cripe pete, put Bowe in a stable environment with a starter quality qb & he's going to give you top 5 numbers.
