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.

The calls for us to "draft a guy who can catch the ball" are going to result in a lot of disappointment. Even if we find a guy with a lower drop percentage than Bowe, there will be moments and times when the dude DOES drop the ball. And when it does happen, those fans are going to flip ****ing shit.
"For ****'s sake your job is to catch the ball. Do your job. I can't get away with not doing my job. I'll get fired."
It's a simplistic mindset to think that these players are getting paid to just DO _____. It's a mindset I see all the time among Chiefs fans more than other fanbases.
On that same side of the coin, it's Alex's job to spot the open receiver regardless of his position on the field and throw him the ball instead of taking the easy checkdown all the ****ing time. Because he screws up that job several times per game, we should trade him. After all, I can't screw up at MY job like he does with his.
