Look at what Fitz has done since Warner left.

Fitz is doing just fine without Warner. He had one of his most productive seasons last year behind QBs worse than Cassel.
I'm not talking about statistically. I'm talking about... in the playoffs, do I have any confidence that Bowe is going to beat guys like Revis and Asomugah and Champ Bailey consistently? I'm sorry, but I've seen plenty of games where Bowe gets smothered by a very good corner, regardless of QB play. Guys like Randy Moss and TO in their prime, and Fitzgerald and Megatron and Andre Johnson are unguardable, even against the league's best. And that's leaving out the point that while Bowe has QB disadvantages, he also has had enormous advantages for most of his career. Like having Tony Gonzalez draw double and triple teams. Like teams loading 8 in the box and leaving Bowe one-on-one without much outside help.
I like Bowe as a WR. But I think we're being homers if we think he's among the league's elite. He is just a notch below that.
