Is he top 5 right now is the question. Let's see CJ, AJ, Julio Jones, Green, either guy from the Giants, Marshall, Harvin and probably Vincent Jackson are all arguably better than DB. If he is paid, by tagging him, the average of the top 5 paid receivers, they are overpaying.

AJ is in steep decline and "either guy from the giants", Marshall and Harvin are very, very debatable.

Look at AJ's and Marshalls numbers from last year and you might reconsider. Eric Decker had a much better season than DB but he did have a QB. Many say Harvin was on his way to MVP before he got hurt.

If you look at just last year Bowe is not in the top 20. He is better than that and a decent QB will help that but he did not have a great year last year when playing with the tag.

Why would i look at last year alone? That's silly. Especially given the circumstances. Last season was a complete train wreck. By that Logic, Fitz isn't a top 10 wr either.

Also keep in mind that he would've had another 1,000 yard season if he didn't miss the last 3 games.

Besides, there are other determining factors aside from stats.

I'm not disagreeing at all except that IMO he is not a top 5 receiver. He is probably between 5-10 when all is right. The question is should they pay him top 5 money? In this case I say yes but only because there are not enough options other than to pay him. If there were a bunch of quality WR's in FA I might have to reconsider, maybe.

He was ****ing hurt for 3 games.

His YPG was right in line with his career average.

A QB could make all the difference but DB's rankings from 2012 are: receptions 59 (49th), yards 801 (40th), targets 114 (31rst), average 13.6 (106), TD's 3 (81rst), 20+ YPC 11 (38th). None of that puts him in top 5 status. Again, I want to keep but to overpay is risky down the road.
