I don't blame Anquan; those fumbles usually come when he's fighting for that extra yard. But you can't expect them to overlook the fumbles.
Also, Isaac Bruce has fumbled 16 times, losing 11 in his 12 year career. He was 5/4 in 2004. During David Bostons productive years he averaged about 2/1. Plaxico Burress averages a fumble a year. Chris Chambers is 10/4 is his 5 year career with last year being 5/2. Torry Holt is a whopping 15/7 in his 7 year career. Even TO averages about 1 per year.
I think the main factor is type of reciever. Guys like Moss and Johnson do most of their recieving downfield where they don't experience much contact. The recievers who work underneath a lot and have WR screens run for them are more likely to get hit my multiple tacklers.
