Explain this to me....I mean Dbowe had 15 TD's in a season

edit: I mean even if he is a little of an upgrade ....is that worth 10 million of dead money?

Maclin fits the offensive scheme better than Bowe. And he has something that Bowe lacks...SPEED. When Smith drops back, the line breaks down, and nobody has enough speed to get open, it's check down, throw into a very narrow window, scramble and hope to get a few yards, or take the sack.

This offense obviously needs better protection up front (Grubbs signing helps but not fixes the problem). We still been a WR2 so Wilson can run slants across the middle. And we also need another legit TE threat to help the running game and compliment Kelce.

IMO... The defense has enough starter talent, just needs a few plug-n-play guys for different packages and give the #1's a breather.
