Our offense has been amazingly efficient this year sans the Dolphins game and, to a lesser extent, the 49ers game.

Starting to really like this team and really like the guy in charge (Dorsey). Reid still needs to hire me for clock management, though.
What about the Titans game?

Bowe is about efficient as a 4 wheel drive pickup pulling a load uphill with a flat tire.

I read this when in came out and thought it was a really intriguing way to evaluate a WR.

Bowe has been doing all the right team stuff this year and playing good but he should be GREAT based on his salary.

For all the shit Eric Fisher and Alex Smith take, Bowe needs more critics.

That excuse only goes so far. Again he's a very good WR but his production doesn't match his salary. Look at the QB's Andre Johnson has played with for example or Eric Deckers touchdowns with Tim Tebow. The last few years Bowe wasn't very good. I heard a stat that he hadn't caught a touchdown in a Chiefs victory since the Colts game 2011. Don't know if that's true or not.

Can't be.

He scored the go-ahead TD in our win against the Cowboys game last season.

Good? Yes. Anywhere near worth what he's paid? No.

This.

If we'd have spent a 1 or 3 in the draft @ WR last year we probably wouldn't even miss him...

He never will be. At the time he got the contract.....Dorsey was forced to overpay him because Albert wasn't signing his contract. Do you franchise tag Bowe and watch as Albert walks away for nothing? Or do you overpay Bowe and tag Albert so that you can find his replacement?

No Bowe? That means that Alex Smith gets to throw to Donnie Avery and McCluster as his top two WRs.

Is Bowe overpaid? Sure. But at the time....it was the only choice to get Alex Smith weapons and still have a LT to block for him.

I couldn't believe KC didn't grab Cody Latimer but so glad they didn't. Not sure what the aversion to drafting wr is there...

That's enlightening, hadn't seen it that way. Still need to draft wr though imho...

Kind of seems like a worthless stat. If they could tell me that he's had X amount of catchable passes thrown to him and he's caught X many, then I guess that would be useful.
What's funny is that he got his numbers from PFF, and they do track catchable balls, the author just chose not to include it, mainly because it doesn't make Bowe look very good.

He's had 28 catchable balls thrown his way, and has caught 25, for 89%. That puts him at 122nd out of 177 WRs. Emmanuel Sanders is at 98%, Donnie Avery is at 93%.

wanted Latimer... **** you! At least KC doesn't have to completely spoil their QB with receiving talent to win.

Alex Smith "open" is not NFL open.

Bowe is NFL open consistently.

Yeah I thought he was a no brainer for KC. Not sure surrounding your qb with weapons is "spoiling"... Oh and **** you too :-)

just for kicks... where would you rank Denver's offensive supporting cast in the League?

... and then, rank KC's...
