He's a decent #2, he'd make a GREAT #3...
But when Bowe is your clear cut #1 (and it isn't even close), then your WR corps is dogshit.
Because Bowe isn't fast, isn't particularly smart, doesn't run great routes, doesn't have great natural hands...
He's just a big body, he runs a good slant. You can get him on a fade if the DB gets caught sleeping. He does good on drags and crossing routes too...
But he will never be Larry Fitzgerald.

Even IF one could accept Bowe as a very good #2.. and I do... the WR corps as a whole is still pretty shit-soaked. There is promise in midgets Wilson and DAT.. but they have a long road to go before being convincingly legit at WR. Avery, Hammond, AJJ, Hem? that is awful.
