2014 Bowe's best year?
Interesting article on Bowe in Arrowhead Pride (by MNChiefsFan) that looks at Bowe's "efficiency" thus far in 2014. It's a fairly lengthy article so I'll only post the thesis and leave you with a link:
"Somehow, very quietly, Bowe is starting to piece together his most efficient season as a pro. Let me give you a couple of minutes to stop laughing and making fun of me. (waits) You good? Great. I suppose what got you laughing was the idea that Bowe is somehow better this season than he was in 2010 or 2011 (his most productive seasons by yards and touchdowns) is pretty ridiculous. Which is why I'm not here to argue as to whether Bowe is going to post better overall stats than he did those years. This is where the word "efficiency" becomes important. Because so far this season, Bowe has been highly efficient with the targets he's received." Rest of article: http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2014/1...as-city-chiefs |

I agree.
And think and have been saying, he needs more targets. A shit load more. |

Hes caught like 75 % of his targets. And he only caught 50 to 60 % in 10 and 11 very impressive.

Back up to 50-some 1st downs would be nice.

Bowe is grossly underrated on this board.
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. |

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. |

Efficiency should be higher when you aren't targeted on medium and deep balls.

This efficiency stat based on targets is pretty much worthless. |

Even though I wish there was at least ONE (and more) catch over the shoulder for a run into the endzone, he has been very clutch on important third downs this season.

I don't think it's worthless. If he can come close to the same number of yards, or even surpass what he did in his break out years on fewer attempts, I think that is significant and possibly part of the reason for the offensive success overall. 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?

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. |

I disagree 2010 was his best year.
Bowe is a good player but get paids like a top 5 WR. His production doesn't match his contract. |

It has been about 30 regular season games since his last 100 yard performance. He is far from doing well, especially with his contract.
