If Megatron played for the Chiefs, Alex isn't going to just "throw it up" for him to go get. It's not who Alex Smith is.
My point is, a WR's production is about chemistry with his QB. WR's don't all of a sudden just "suck".
Cassel trusted Bowe a hell of a lot more than Alex Smith does, thus his production was up.

Bowe hasn't done anything so far to earn Smith's trust at all. Smith certainly has thrown balls to Bowe this year that required trust that Bowe would beat his man. Bowe lazily didn't fight for possession. That causes a QB to lose trust.
And Calvin is a different beast. If Smith threw jump balls in between 3 defenders to Bowe, it would likely not end well.
Andy Dalton isn't exactly some gun slinger, but when you're throwing to AJ Green, you're able to throw some jump balls knowing that he will likely win.
