I saw at least three passes towards Bowe Sunday night that were awful.
Bowe was "targeted," yes. But they were pretty uncatchable balls. Alex makes his WRs worse, deal with it.

I hope not. I can think of 4 catach-able balls that were dropped...

I have no idea. I'm sure some were catchable.
Alex is not the most accurate guy beyond 10 yards though. It is a problem.

I'm sure there are plenty more WRs he's held back though |

It's pretty obvious why Bowe is on pace for by far his worst season ever... I don't recall Bowe ever dropping a pass prior to this season.

Why not 23 points? (because his record improves?) Why not 26? (because other QB comparative records are diminished?) It's just a ****ing number picked out of a hat to prove a point. I don't like evidence that is created to support a hypothesis. Additionally, you have to throw out any game where Alex Smith's team ALSO scored more than 24 points, but still lost the game. You also have to factor in any game where Alex Smith scored more than 24 points, but the opponent did not. You would ALSO have to do that for every other starting QB in the league and then you can compare the statistics, except even then it is misleading at best. How were those points scored? It's a horrible, horrible statistic that means nothing, and the fact that it is in his signature in such large letters, as if loud proclamation, says so much about the man posting it. |

I've always thought that one of the problems with the drop discussion is that everybody wants to make it a mutually-exclusive "A or B" kind of thing. Whereas I think a pass can be (and often is) both poorly thrown and dropped.

Brandon Lloyd sucked for another 4 years and then had a couple of good seasons. Moss retired the following year..couldn't get a job he wanted. Crabtree has half a season without Alex...I think a little time is required for that one. Bowe hasn't gone on to play for someone else...but I will say early in the season he was barely targeted...he's now the leading target the last few games. |

No one cares about other QBs, dude. Give it up.
Just look at the throws Alice makes. Some of them are truly god awful.

The main reason I use the statistic is because it was initially created for Mr. Cassel, and did a great job of showing what a ponce he was. I am now applying the same standards for Mr. Smith, and what do you know...the same bell is ringing. I am sure you could lower it to 20 points and Alex's record would be shitty compared to more well equipped QBs, too.
