Catch only 47, and miss 5 games, and it's a problem.

So let's get to the root of the issue:
Why only 47 catches?
For one, he was only getting targeted 3-5 times a game over the first half of the season.
Then he missed 4 games.
If you remember, me, among others were pissed that we were running an offense through LJ, Wade and Long and not Bowe.
There were tons of plays that Bowe wasn't even looked at.
49th among WR in targets with 87. 7.25 per game.
He was 3rd in the league in targets in 2008 with 157. 9.81 targets per game.
If he was targeted more, there's no doubt he would have met or exceeded his stats from 2008.
