It's like when Matt Cassel stepped in for Tom Brady for a year. Moss and Welker on the field and he throws for 3600 yards. Because that's who just he is. And the same is true for Alex Smith. He is who he is, and blaming it on Bowe, in particular, is a disservice to a guy who not only should by all rights be posting 1200 yard seasons, but who we should love more right about now because he's totally being the team guy and not throwing tantrums left and right because his quarterback isn't getting him the ball - like the diva that so many people were saying he was back when he was double-thumbing his back and talking about the Bowe Show.
But hey, Bowe hate has been a favorite pasttime of some for years, no reason to change now.

Then why does he drop so many balls that hit him in the hands??
He's a decent #2, and if he was in Green Bay he would be #3 behind Nelson and Cobb. If he's in Detroit, he's #3 behind Tate and Johnson. If he's in Chicago, he's #3 behind Marshall and Jeffreys, if he's in Washington, he's #3 behind Jackson and Garcon; if he's in San Fran, he's probably #3 behind Boldin and Crabtree, in Jacksonville, he might be #2, behind one of their younger, faster, more talented youngsters - get the picture??
