I don't know that anyone really knows that for sure... all you can do is compare their first 3 seasons and Wallace > Bowe in that regard. Bowe has had 2 good seasons since then and that's what Wallace has to do now.
I think both are solid #1 WRs - Bowe is a bit bigger, but I don't know that one is that much greater than the other at this point.

I haven't seen it written anywhere, but I've heard people say in recent weeks that the team salary caps are expected to jump quite a bit in the next 2-3 years.
So, I wouldn't be against the idea of locking in a young and proven WR like Wallace for big money (not Fitz level) and back loading some of it... if the cap is indeed going to make a considerable jump. If Denver had Wallace, Thomas and Decker... that would be a fine trio for several years.

That very well could be ... I think both are more complete than DeSean Jackson and I think they're potentially better than Vincent Jackson. I think I'd rather have VJ than DJ... so, considering those guys have very similar new contracts and all these guys have fairly similar production... the contracts should be in the same ballpark and it's not near Fitzgerald Field.

So far, Wallace has shown to be a one trick pony. Its all about speed with him. Not sure I'd wanna give him a huge contract at this point.
Same with VJ. |

Outside of Bowe's one season with 15 TDs... he's really just a good WR. I don't know that you can say that he's any more dominating that some of the others. And, yes... I realize he's had Huard, Thigpen, Cassel and Orton. But, it's not like every other WR has ideal QB situations. Sometimes, it just is what it is... and Bowe is a really good WR that deserves a contract in line with what DJ and VJ signed.

No WR has Bowe's QB situation that he's had to put up with for his ENTIRE career. Who are some of the worst QBs to start games in the past 5 seasons? Give me your 5 worst. Bowe has played with at least 2 of those 5. |

The upside is great - health is the concern. I think Decker can be a great #2/3 option - very solid WR.

I'm just saying I'm not giving that much money to a guy who has shown, so far, that that's the only thing he has going for him. IMO he's more Desean Jackson than Fitz. |

I just think he's in that next tier down from the truly great WR threats. I'm not sure how I would tier them actually... Are Calvin and Fitz the elite WRs? I'm struggling with who I may be failing to put in their group? After them... You have a slew of people like Welker, Marshall, White, Jennings... Does that list end there? I don't know that I put DJ, VJ, Bowe, Wallace, Nelson, Nicks, Colston, Smith at that 2nd tier. It's a tough one and lots of gray.

And, that's been the bulk of my commentary here too... I just feel Bowe is still in that group as well.

Desean is a speed guy as well. VJ, IMO, is alot better than you give him credit.
IMO, Bowe is in that second tier group of guys. I'd put him next to a Roddy White. Fitz, Megatron, and Andre J. are a notch better. |

With a semi-decent QB Bowe is a top 5 WR. No question. If Cassel gets injured this year and Quinn/Stanzi step in and produce right away, you'll start to see that I imagine. |
