He's just not an elite WR. He's a good one and good WRs drop balls.
Benching him won't upgrade his talent. It won't suddenly make him better than he is. Benching DJ got him to pay attention and play up to his ability. Dwayne Bowe is playing up to his ability right now.
In fact, he might be playing over it (he's not a 15 TD/season guy).
Stop having unrealistic expectations for a good player that's not a great player and you'll be far less disappointed when he doesn't play like a HOFer.

To me it's not about what passes he drops, it's about when he drops the passes. He obviously wasn't fully focused on that play. We need a guy that can be in a zone when a clutch play is needed.
Maybe he shouldn't be deactivated. But maybe we should start planning better for the future at our WR position.
