This. Surely Bowe has a better season or his replacement does.

Miles Austin will be wearing a Chiefs jersey very sooooon...

Then we will be similar to the 03 eagles.

We just won't have an elite qb who can win without offensive talent around him.

Eh, Smith has won with limited talent around him. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about whether or not our WRs can even get open, much less catch the ball.

Yes. We'd miss the defense focusing on him.

This... Other teams DB's respect Bowe and play off of him a little, they don't respect our other receivers.

That's cool and all, but he should be putting up bigger numbers than he did last year. Way bigger numbers. Especially considering how much we're paying the dude.

Well that's up to Alex Smith and the play calling. Last year Alex's favorite receiver was JC and he didn't throw the ball to Bowe that much. I think Alex feels safer with check downs, he plays like he's scared to throw an interception.

There's a reason his numbers suffered.

Smith didn't target Bowe the first few games pretty much at all. Smith doesn't like two things about throwing to Bowe.

First, Bowe doesn't get open enough like Smith likes. It took Smith until at least mid season for him to trust Bowe would make the play in tight coverage.

Second, Bowe ran a LOT of sideline routes early on, and a bunch designed to clear out space for short routes. He wasn't getting the ball when it was designed to go elsewhere, and Smith doesn't like to throw outside the numbers b/c he really struggles out there.

Smith warmed up to Bowes "always open" style throughout the season. If he picks up where he left off, he's good.

Bowe didn't do shit last year. He had too much money in his pockets to run an effective route. Hemingway could step in for bowe in my opinion.

Hemingway is shit, and needs to be flushed.

Bowe needs to step up, to be damn sure, but even at the crap level he performed at last season, he still isn't the stinking pile of shit that Hemingway is.

[notorious]

Meh.


Reid's offense got to the Superbowl without Owens. We will survive without Bowes MASSIVE production.

I think Miles Austin would actually be a good fit on a one year deal. If he beats out Avery or Jenkins so be it.
