Linemen miss blocks. Corners get outran. Linebackers miss tackles. Halfbacks get stuffed at the line of scrimmage. Quarterbacks throw incompletions. Wide receivers drop passes.

"Put up empty numbers"

Every goddamned player in red and yellow since 1971 has put up "empty numbers' for ****s sake.

Bowe has the fourth best career as receiver in Chiefs' history behind Tony Gonzalez, Otis Taylor and Henry Marshall. He's top 20 among active players in career yards and TDs.

Most importantly: Bowe has had GARBAGE throwing to him over the course of his career. Alex Smith is the most talented QB he's dealt with outside of playing in Hawaii. Last year was his worst since the first year of the Pioli regime, and that's a product of Alex's aversion to throwing at guys he doesn't completely trust (Vernon Davis) and Reid's HB centered passing offense that happens to use a HoF caliber guy in Jamaal Charles.

I'll take that sustained production every day of the week. Is he overpaid? Most likely. Has he made bad decisions off the field? Abso-****ing-lutely. Has he "underachieved?" Sure. But really only if you expect a team's #1 WR to put up Dez Bryant or Megatron numbers on a regular basis.

In short, Dwayne Bowe deserves a pass from everyone -Chiefs fans in particular- for the resume he's established in the league.
