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.

2010:

Bowe was targeted 125 times.

Fitz was targeted 168 times.

Bowe saw fewer passes coming his way, and had more yards and more TD.

Bowe is pretty ****ing good.

Arizona throws and everyone knows that the offense runs through Fitzgerald. Last year he put up 1400 yard with 17.6 ypc. I just don't see Bowe doing that with being the center of attention.
Charles
Moeaki
Baldwin

All of our other weapons got hurt and Bowe still had around 1200 yards with total crap throwing him the ball.

Yep, this is why he got a higher rating in 2011.

Production remained constant with Tyler Palko slinging 27% of the passes the Chiefs threw.

Pretty remarkable.

Did we forget Fitzy plays in the NFC west? That's some kind of huge factor according to some around here.

Ok?

What did Fitz have last year?

My point is I don't think Bowe can be put in the same situation as Fitzgerald and show the same results because I believe its easier to shut down Bowe than it is Fitzgerald. That's why Fitzgerald is elite and Bowe is a tier below.

That has nothing to do with what i said. Bowe is better at yac i think but just getting open in general has been an issue for all of our wr's not just bowe... To be fair

We have a QB(s) who doesn't know when a receiver is open, FWIW.

And yeah, let's not forget that Bowe played against Champ Bailey, Nnamdi Asomugha, and Quentin Jammer twice a year for most of his career.

*looks at Stanford Routt and smiles*

I am just saying that Bowe gets all these yards and people are comparing him to the best in the league yet when it comes to the guy throwing him the ball we have the worst in the league. Seems to me it can't be both...most likley Cassel isn't quite as bad as some say.
