Theres no way that a full year with ONE solid qb doesnt vault him into the top 5, and thats elite no matter how you want to slice it... and i'll simply refuse to hear the tired 'stats dont matter' argument, if they didnt matter they wouldnt be kept, they are proof positive of production, period.

No, they are not proof.

The best tacklers in the league often come from the worst defenses, because they can't get off the field. Mike Maslowski was a tackling machine for a horrible Chiefs' defense. Kyle Orton was one of the most productive passers in the league two years ago. 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.
