It's poorly tallied. I'm not saying that makes Bowe higher, or lower, on what would be a more accurately tallied list. I'm just saying that the drops stats is so poorly tallied as to be useless.

This isn't necessarily true.

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.

This board, or at least a significant portion of it, has been blowing Bowe for most of my time here. "Top 5, or elite, WR", "Imagine what he'd do with a real QB" and posts like that have littered this place.
Bowe is what he is (quality WR who doesn't get much separation and often struggles to catch the ball cleanly), and he seems to have lost a gear this season, although that could just be the product of having a relatively down year. He's probably best suited for a Keyshawn Johnson or Anquan Boldin (Baltimore/SF) type role or for a role which uses him the way the Patriots were using Hernandez before that dumbass ended up in the clink.
