Allows those other attempts that went for incompletions previously to be distributed elsewhere.... Charles, Kelce, Sherman... and turn what was 0 yards in 2010 and 2011 to positive yards in 2014 without sacrificing total yardage for Bowe. I think that is a significant stat, no?
I think it is worthless because it is based on targets. If a pass is way over his head, that counts as a target that he didn't catch. He shouldn't be penalized for that. But that counts the same as a pass that hits him in the numbers.

Plus, he's with a different QB, OC, and HC than he was in 2010.
I'm pretty sure he's seeing less long downfield throws than he used to. Shorter target = more catchable pass = more efficient.

All in all, I think this stat is a more a reflection on the QB and system than it is the receiver.
