Bowe is tied with the league lead in drops with 11; the person whom he shares this honor with is Vernon Davis.
Some notables:
Dallas Clark with 9
TO with 9
Colston with 8
Gates with 7
Andre Johnson with 7
Marshall with 7
Moss with 7
Mason with 7
Look, have the Chiefs WRs performed poorly? Absolutely. No question, and they figure prominently on the above list.
But what's also NOT new is that WRs who get a lot of targets also tend to lead the league in drops.
And if you're arguing that the criticism of Cassel is generally too black and white, then we have to take the same type of critical eye to the problems with the WRs this year. Maybe, just maybe, having a sub-par is a factor.

No, I'm arguing that people such as yourself have lost your minds on the Cassel issue. Cassel is not the one dropping the passes. He's not the one failing to block. He's not the one who's unable to get open. He is, however, the one who's play is dependent upon those other things being done correctly. What's happening to Cassel is what happens to quarterbacks when their team sucks.
This season has gone pretty much as people should have expected, and at pretty much every position on the team. Massive turnover of a team that was already bereft of talent was all but guaranteed to result in uneven results.
