Bowe should be making the 2 or 3 catches per game that get knocked away, if people insist on calling him a high-quality receiver. Letting the ball get into his body as he stands there waiting for it is weak. Bowe is a vet and should know that he needs to attack the ball and extend for it.. but his effort level lacks. Avery has done this many times as well... and it causes a defender to close on and knock the ball free. Won't count technically as a drop.. but probably should.

As is often the case, the opinions get extreme, and there can be some truth to both sides.

Many people aren't going to like this and that's fine.

But for the amount of money this guy is making....overall he's done more harm than good for this team. Not to mention who knows how long he'll get suspended for after his court ruling.

Today was the last straw for me. He really played like he just didn't care. Yes the ref completely missed the grabbing of the jersey, but Bowe's effort today was terrible and It's been at best sub par all season.

Bowe doesn't have elite speed. Ok so he's a possession receiver...problem is he can't catch the damn ball. Whether or not the stars align for us, reality is, is that this team was still in contention for HFA and a 1st rd bye in the playoffs. Bowe doesn't care. he just wants to point to his ****ing name on the back of his jersey and think he's a badass.

**** Dwayne Bowe. I'm tired of his shit and lackluster play.

Except when it comes to Smith getting the ball there on time. No one wants to put the late passes on Smith. It's all Bowe.

LMAO

There are obvious drops, and the professionals that work for STATS, INC keep missing them. /Derp

Anyone watching the games that has seen a player make multiple obvious drops only to have most of them not counted knows that the stat is poorly tallied.

So is it poorly tallied for everyone, or just Bowe?

Hint: If it's poorly tallied for everyone, Bowe still isn't anywhere near the league leaders in drops.

Bottom line:

Bowe has been this fanbase's whipping boy from Day One. They don't like that he points at his jersey. They don't like that he's said and done some stupid things off the field.

But this drops thing is out of control. There are a TON of GREAT receivers that have WAY more drops than Bowe does, but no one thinks poorly of them. For whatever reason, it makes people feel better to act as if Bowe is the Anti-Christ, and the only WR in the league that drops passes.

Remarkable exaggeration on your part, but it's at least amusing. Bowe's a good dude, and as an LSU graduate, I love me some Tigers that hit the pros. The issue is.. people know how good Bowe CAN be.. but he does have a Randy Moss like quality about him. KC paid him well... and now it does seem like he is half-assing it on many plays. The fans have a right to be a bit disturbed by this. He's such a capable player, but he is rather lazy. I was expecting a great and productive connection from Smith to Bowe. Bowe is just not making the special catches or giving the impression that he is a go-to target.

ROFL Randy Moss like quality? Did you ever see Moss out there busting his ass blocking for RBs?
