You are correct.

End thread.

It's absolutely incredible that people blame a receiver's inability to get open anymore on the quarterback just because they didn't get their way in the draft...

I hope it's not so, but right now Bowe looks old, slow, complacent...and done.

Bowe was never explosive, and never beat coverage. He has a QB that does not play to his strengths, and won't throw to him while he's "covered".

Alex Smith's definition of open obviously isn't the definition of open that most QBs have in mind. And by most QBs I mean players at or above the level of Brady Quinn, Matt Cassel, Kyle Orton, and Tyler Palko.

The point, is you can't just take the opposite and blame the receiver 100%. Alex Smith and Bowe obviously don't mesh well together, so they're going to have to meet in the middle. Smith is going to have to concentrate on getting the ball to Bowe more often, and Bowe needs to eat more Wheaties or something.

People put this on Smith

Bowe disappeared in games before Smith got to Kc.

At some point you have to look at the common problems this team has had with multiple QBs, and think MAYBE just maybe they're part of the problem.

One of our interceptions was because Bowe was thrown to and didn't fight the guy off at all. He is going to have to produce some in order to get the trust from the QB.

it's really hard to beat a double team in the NFL

not many guys can do it consistently, there are probably 10 WRs that can in the whole league.

Larry Fitzgerald can barely beat doubles anymore is anyone bitching about him?

But with that contract shouldn't Bowe be able to do so?

See Michael Crabtree's stats with Alex. Then go look at them with Kap.

Case closed.

FYP

All due respect, but Bowe has never reached Fitz level...

Not many all time have.

with Flowers contract should he be able to consistently lock down good WRs?

with Tyson Jacksons contract should he be able to beat 1 on 1 offensive lineman like a drum?

with Dunta Robinsons contract should he not get beat out by a UDFA rookie?

with Anthony Fasanos contract should he not see the field sometime this decade?

With Eric Fishers contract should he not ****ing block one guy without looking like a dizzy clown when he gets stood up?

With Kendrick Lewis contract... lol forget it.


My point is there are WAY worse on this team than Bowe not playing like their contract.

True...
