Top 5 WR with bottom five QB's


The man I'm going to be talking about is obviously none other than Jacoby Ford.... ok not really it's Dwayne Bowe of course. The man formally known as the D-Bowe show. Dwayne Bowe is the exact WR that I used to scream for the Chiefs to have when we had Trent Green and Priest. A man who can make catches and make plays to take heat off the running game. Dwayne Bowe is highly underrated here on AP. You know who you are out there. All the people trying to trade him to get a draft pick or just to flat out get rid of him. Dwayne Bowe is flat out the best receiver the Chiefs have ever had. He is a top 5 WR in this league and I feel has HOF potential depending on if we can get him a QB of course. Lets look at some stats and some more of my crazy way of convincing people I'm right after the jump.

Star-divide

Alright lets look at some stats without names and you try and figure out who's they are...some should be easy.

GP Rec Yards YPC Long TD

16 81 1,159 14.3 52 5
16 98 1,493 15.2 65 23
16 83 1,264 15.2 71 13
16 101 1,569 15.5 72 9

16 96 1,431 14.9 78 12
16 72 1,162 16.1 75 15

Sorry those are in the middle not quite sure how to fix it but stick with me.

Alright now who do you think those belong to? By the way they aren't all from this season but they are all from pretty good Wr's. Well I'll just go ahead and tell you so we can move on to looking at these stats. The first one is of course Bowe's stats for this year. The second and third would be future Chief...I mean HOF member Randy Moss. The third is Andre Johnson and the next one would be none other than Larry Fitz. The final one is also Dwayne Bowe with his best season to date from last year.

Now who was there QB's for these years you ask? Well for this year Bowe's stats it would be none other than Brodie Croyle... oh wait we got rid of him for TYLER PALKO. Ok but really the men throwing, if you can call what Cassel and Palko do as throwing, were Matt Cassel, Tyler Palko, and of course Kyle Orton. The anemic trio as I feel they should be called. Let's look at that sure HOF Wr's QB... well looky there it was another future HOF member in Tom Brady. Alright so let's move on from that dynamic duo. Andre the giant with statistically might be his best season had none other than Matt Lienart throwing to him... Ok now i'm just taking shots at players I don't like. But really it was Matt Schaub in what was his career year and possibly one of the best QB performances by a man not named Brady or Manning as of late. Schaub completed almost 70 percent of his passes and threw for almost 4,800 yards.

Alright I think you get the point there now lets look at Fitz. He had the former grocery sacker but future HOF QB Kurt Warner chucking him the football for that season. This was also when they made that crazy run at the Super Bowl in which Fitz was a manimal in the playoffs. But all in all Warner threw for nearly 4,600 yards that season in what may have been his second best season ever. Finally we look at Dwayne Bowe's stats for his best season to date. He had Cassel throwing to him for almost the whole season. I seem to have blanked a certain game from my memory that year so I can't tell you who was the Qb. Cassel had probably the best season he will ever have and it still wasn't as impressive as his stats may say as many of us know.

So what's all this rambling supposed to mean? Look at the Qb's that these Top 5 WR's have and then look at the bums we have had during Bowe's tenure and try and tell me that he couldn't have a lot better season. His stats with these average at best Qb's have been close to those of the top WR's in the game while those players had HOF Qb's and guys who had career years throwing to them. Bowe needs to get a check and it needs to be signed by Hunt not some other owner. Pay the man and don't look back till he makes that game winning catch in the Super Bowl. Also can we please get a Qb that can get this man the ball cause he is by far the best player on the Chiefs offense even better than Charles because he doesn't miss games and he hasn't reached his potential yet.

Not so controversial.

Only one of them can block worth a damn, and it ain’t Charles.

Ancora imparo.

I don't advocate trading Bowe just to get rid of him. I think he's a great player.

But if he can bring us a franchise QB, then we should do it. QB > WR.

You don't improve your Qb and take away his weapons

It just doesn’t make sense. I mean you don’t get Peyton Manning in his prime and give him Sammie Parker to throw to

by Kmillz2525 on Feb 17, 2012 12:46 AM CST up reply actions  

From what Peyton shows

he could make Sammy Parker look good

That's why I said QB > Wr.

An excellent QB makes a mediocre WR look good. On the other hand, how good has Bowe made Cassel look?

And the other two years he's been here?

That’s what I’m saying. It’s a lot easier for, say, Brady to make Welker look like a Pro Bowler than it is for Bowe to make Cassel look like a Pro Bowler. At the end of Cassel’s best year, the Ravens proved that point brutally by triple-covering Bowe.

Yeah but Bowe can do what welker does

That’s make a slant into 50 yard tds so yes its easier for a QB but all the good QB usually have a great WR who helps them

by Kmillz2525 on Feb 17, 2012 5:04 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

In 2009 Brandon Marshall caught 101 passed 10 tds for 1100yards from Orton

In 2010 Brandon Lloyd caught 77 passes for 1400 yards and 11 tds from Orton

Both made the pro bowl and had career highs in td passes .

I seem to recall in the final game Orton and Bowe going right at Champ bailey early and have great success before Bowe got hurt .

by Willie Beamon on Feb 17, 2012 1:57 AM CST reply actions  

True Orton

Can sling it but he’s not great so I’d still rather get a better QB

by Kmillz2525 on Feb 17, 2012 8:09 AM CST via mobile up reply actions  

I would love to see Bowe with an Elite QB

I also wouldnt mind seeing Orton/Bowe for a full year.

It took us a long time to get a receiver with the ability that Bowe has and would be a shame to loose him.

by TheScreenName on Feb 17, 2012 10:11 AM CST reply actions  

^This...

Give Orton a training camp and pre-season with Bowe, and I bet the two of them will light it up.

by AnkenyChiefsFan on Feb 17, 2012 1:37 PM CST up reply actions  

Certainly better than the alternative

He may not be elite, but damn sure goes through progressions

by Hateraide on Feb 17, 2012 2:29 PM CST up reply actions  

Gives the Wrs a chance

Instead of getting them lit up or just ignoring them like cassel

by Kmillz2525 on Feb 17, 2012 4:54 PM CST via mobile up reply actions

I'm in a camp called "Either RG3 or Peyton Manning for QB!!!"

Otherwise, it’ll take something very freakin’ special for me to think Clark Hunt or Pioli have a clue…

*Follow me @ChiefsatWar (Twitter)

Clark Hunt & Pioli, get some KING KONG BALLS and move up to draft a QB in the 1st RD of the 2012 NFL Draft: RG3 or Luck.

by ChiefsatWar on Feb 17, 2012 4:20 PM CST reply actions  

I like that idea

We need to move past average or atleast take a shot
