The Year Bowe put up his 72/1162/15, Matt Cassel had a total of ten completions for the entire season travel more than 20 yards downfield.
slow clap for you my friend. backing it up with stats instead of rhetoric. I'm buying low right now on Bowe since people are down on him. This is an Andy Ried schemed offense. And there are no serious threats to Bowe's targets. Can anyone give me an example of a 1WR from a Andy Reid team that didn't produce productively?
To be fair, of the downfield passes the Chiefs did throw that year, Bowe was ridiculous on them, accounting for for something like a third of his yardage and TD's on 8 completions. But again, it may be more important to note that Alex Smith has traditionally been a somewhat more prolific downfield passer than what he worked with that year, anyway. (And also significant is that Bowe did still account for 10 TD's on the shorter stuff that season. Guy has a crazy ceiling.)
I agree. Most people are undervaluing him in drafts based on what he did last year and not realizing the new QB/HC opportunity.
I was shocked at how cheap he's been going in auctions/salary leagues. I got him for $10/$200 locked in for the next three years in one league; the draft was a few days ago. That seems absurd for guy who is likely going to be a target monster the next few years. Players like Cobb and Cruz were going for 2-3x that much, which makes no sense at all.
42/492/4 in half the team's attempts. So right about 80/1000/8 type numbers last year, prorated.
Yea, and I don't think Crabtree holds a candle to Bowe, no offense. Bowe's production the last few years with the level of QB play he has had is borderline astounding. He had 15 TDs in 2010 with Cassel throwing him the ball.42/492/4 in half the team's attempts. So right about 80/1000/8 type numbers last year, prorated.
Great posting!
My question was more geared at Alex Smith's #1 receiver. Not comparing Crabtree to Bowe. However, in our PPR format Crabtree outscored Bowe by 100 points last year. How's that for logic?
So then a CLEARLY superior WR working w Alex Smith should be a monster.
