If you want to know who had the best of them all, use the percent of the yards for the player of the team’s total yards.
Do not discount the fact that some of these guys were in different styles of offense. Landry and Beckham had Les for example. Davis and Martin had the offense from the 1980’s. All of that matters.
You would need to add in the bowl games for those like Davis and Martin.
Reed is the one that sticks out the most. It was the best single season I’ve ever seen from a WR in my many years of following LSU.
2001 - Josh Reed - 12, 94 for 1,740, 18.5, 7 TD (3,578 yds)

That was one thing I was thinking of when I put the total team passing yards to give an idea of how productive the top receiver was relative to the team.
Percentage wise, Reed had 48.6% of 2001 team yardage and Davis had 47.4% in 1986. Carson had 46.4% in 1977.
Like you said, there are many factors including
Offensive coordinator/scheme
run/pass play calls ratio
effectiveness of QB
offensive line giving QB time to throw
having other great receivers on team (i.e. Landry/OBJ, Chase/Jefferson, Nabers/Thomas)
