I have brought this up before.

He jumps up in the air when he shouldn't.(his entire career)

He tips too many balls into the air, last year anyway.

He lets defenders get in front of him getting position.

He stops on slant routes rather than running through them.


If you haven't seen this you haven't been watching the games.

Look at those numbers and realize we are talking one or 2 throws a game difference.

Huge difference right. And Bowe dropped more balls last year than I ever remember.

BTW remember the Baltimore playoff game when Bowe had exactly 0 catches? How does that compare to Indy?

You are splitting hairs. Thats splitting a log.

No. Bowe's numbers are down because Alex simply does not throw over 10 yards as much as Cassel did.

Period. End of discussion. The absolute 100 percent truth. There is years and years of data to support this.

Deal with it.

Years and years of posts support you are simply an agenda driven troll.

Indy Playoff game Bowe = 8/150

Cassel > Smith LMAO

Why do you care its not your $? / CP

It is very possible Bowe just had a down year and could tear it up this season.

We will see.

All the data indicated he did not even throw downfield as much as little old Cassel.

Lo and behold it came true, and Bowe's numbers declined as a result.

This is all original research from yours truly last offseason, read it and weep:

And then of course there is this...

Alex just does not like throwing the ball over 10 yards.

He just ran into Alex Smith. And with Alex Smith, the down field targets dry up, and you can expect your best WR to give you about 800 yards at the max.

It's sad. But that is what we've become.

In one playoff game, sure.

But if Alex doesn't play like a real ****ing QB for 16 games he's a useless shithead.

We won't reach the playoffs if he doesn't...

Spin, spin, spin, spin.
