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.

He's gone.

Buh-bye, Bowe. My best buddy.
Dorsey's gone. Once they restructure Jackson's contract they will have plenty.

So since we have Bowe franchised this season, the Chiefs and Bowe could work out a long-term deal at ANY point during the season? So potentially he could tear shit up all season and then week 13 they could get a deal done? Or if he plays the entire season, and the season ends, the Chiefs can get a deal done at any point after the season has ended? Is that how it works? Or do we have to wait for the free agency period to begin before we offer him a deal?

Maybe something to do with the fact that only 5 guys have more yards over the last two seasons?

Maybe something to do with the fact that only 2 guys have more TD over the last two seasons?

Bowe is not being paid based on one year. Ignoring his entire body of work is unfair.

He always has a choice. It's not inconceivable that he would choose to sit out rather than be jerked around with 3 years of franchise tags during the prime of his career.

It wouldn't be the first time it happened.

Hell, he might hold out THIS year.

Like everyone keeps saying, he'd be an idiot to play under the tag.

His career could be over like that. Then he'd be ****ed.

Whose responsibility is it to get the ball to Bowe so he can accumulate TD catches?

Do you masturbate to Marc Boerigter every night before you go to bed?

So if he doesn't get the big deal he's looking for he's going to throw away 11M dollars and hope someone gives him an even bigger deal the following year? Seriously?

It's all relative. 9.5 mil is "shit" to someone who thinks he's worth 45 mil guaranteed.

Someone is going to pay him.

He's far too good, far too productive.

If you ignore those facts, you are truly ignorant.
