Will Dwayne Bowe's baggage scare teams away?

Will Dwayne Bowe's baggage scare teams away?

Conventional wisdom says there should be three top receivers available in free agency this year: Greg Jennings, Mike Wallace, and Dwayne Bowe.

They each have the skills to be a "No. 1" target but they also have some knocks against them. Jennings is coming off an injury-plagued year. Wallace is a speed merchant that hasn't exactly developed into a complete receiver. Bowe's downside is harder to define.

"I am scared to death of Dwayne Bowe," one scout told SI.com's Peter King. "Like him a lot, but not sure what we'd be buying if we signed him. Too much baggage."

Bowe didn't have the best reputation early in his days after getting drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs. His propensity for drops matched his up-and-down effort. (And up-and-down weight.) Bowe has mostly avoided negative headlines the last two seasons, but his reputation for selfish behavior clearly still persists.

I have little doubt Bowe will get paid big bucks regardless. King mentions Jennings, Wallace, and Brian Hartline as this year's biggest receiver targets, but Bowe has the most well rounded skill set of any one of them. He's put up big numbers despite shaky quarterback play, even if Bowe is the master at garbage time production.

The biggest concern here is how Bowe will react to earning big money. He's played his best the last two years while playing for a new contract. He won't get Vincent Jackson money, but Bowe should do very well even if he scares some teams to death.

The tards that complain about Bowe's drops never mention his great catches.

He has FAR more great plays than drops.

Nor will they address that he's really just middle of the road in terms of drops. There are a lot of great WRs out there that drop a lot of passes. Welker, Calvin Johnson, Marshall, Cruz, Dez, Demaryius, Wayne and A.J. Green all had double digit drops this year. Bowe had 6...granted he didn't play the full season.

The more balls you get thrown your way, the more you are gonna drop. It's as simple as that.

I think Bowe's 'focus problems' were more of an early career thing and the stigma has followed him.

What I rarely see people mention is that Bowe is one of the better, if not the best, sideline pass catcher I see in the NFL. I mean catching sideline throws and tip toeing those two feet in. A good QB could do so much damage with a guy who possesses feet like that.

Maybe because the drops he has are more memorable. I don't give a crap if the wide receiver makes a 100 beautiful catches in a season if he drops easy ones that could win games in the end zone.

Bowe has put up stud numbers with absolute shit at QB and yet the dumbasses still bitch and moan about a few drops that they blow out of proportion.
