Endzone Is Near Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Lol I have a buddy who went to LSU, and he drafts Bowe every year with confidence LMAO. Can't tell you how many times he's called/text me on Sundays and said "I really expected more from Bowe today". I admit...he's terrible. Not even really overrated anymore, as most people have caught on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Brown Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The problem being, is Bowe may go for 125 yards and 2 TDs next week; forcing you to consider him as a starter from Week 4 on out. I was somewhat forced to start Bowe tonight with game time decision guys on Sunday that could have filled his starting lineup position if they do in fact play. I blame Thursday night football along with doubting my gut feel that Alex Smith cannot and will not throw it down field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davesworld23 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I feel bad for fleecing a guy this week. I thought it was a fair offer and i would have started Bowe. Gave him & J Thomas for V Jax. Who dodged a bullet? >this guy< 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby's Hubby Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I think we all should have known that Alex Smith does not target his WRs much. Bowe's new contract blinded some of us into thinking that they would use him more. In typical Bowe fashion, one out of four weeks will be good. Good luck trying to figure out which week that will be.

The Next Generation Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Unfortunately, the guy hasn't had any real QBs to consistently get him the ball. Smith is captain check-down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpayers Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 So then how does Avery figure into the equation? Capt CDown had a huge man crush on him last night. Could this be a Welker-ish affair? Avery is generally available across the board. Or is he WW fools gold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be a Welker-ish affair? Avery is generally available across the board. Or is he WW fools gold? Â Â Mostly 5 yard crossing patterns that were designed to clear out the middle with all 3 other receivers blocking downfield. Mayock had a pretty sweet telestrator display set up to highlight it. I wouldn't consider it reliable, once others see the film they will be looking for it. Â I'm pretty surprised as well, Smith showed some solid downfield looks last year with Crabtree and Davis both, so it's not like this would be new to him. He did look like a deer in headlights in the pocket though. Lots of times there wasn't any real pressure but he was guy-shy and pulled it down for no reason. He, more than Bowe, looked awful.

Bronco Billy Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The real problem I believe is that Bowe is a good enough WR that you throw him the ball even when he is covered and let him go get it, and Smith is just completely adverse to taking any risk. Bad combination that really works against Bowe. Â I'm watching the development of Bray very closely. He's willing to challenge Ds downfield and use his athletes, and I find it hard to believe that Reid won't get tired of the short safe small ball stuff before too long. He is a HC who loves to put the ball in the air and use the whole field. Â Â What's happening now is tolerable because KC is winning (except for Bowr owners), but I think Reid has an itch that Smith can't scratch. This may end up being a poor season for Bowe because KC is winning and any HC is loath to go away from a successful strategy. But Bowe might be a really nice buy low steal in dynasty leagues.

stevegrab Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Please explain, cause i don't get it.   You've gotta be kind of old, or have lots of older siblings like me (this is before my time). Mostly 5 yard crossing patterns that were designed to clear out the middle with all 3 other receivers blocking downfield.

iujam1 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I agree that the problem is Smith's over conservative style he will not throw into any coverage which to me renders Bowe useless I will not drop him from my team but he will have a spot on the bench after this week and I'll hope the goose egg doesn't cost me the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Company of Heroes Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Glad I shipped Bowe/Mendy to get Gore/Cutler this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpayers Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 To be fair and focusing on the topic, Bowe is not WORTHLESS. As generally compared to the top WRs floating around on the wires: Simpson, Sanu, Moore, Pettis, Rice, et. al, Bowe has a degree of worth. Realistically, he is the top WR on an Andy Reid team. Â (Disclosure: I am a Bowe owner and my voice is shot from screaming at the game last night..."Throw Bowe the f*ing ball!") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) I hear you wpayers. TG I only have Bowe on one of my teams. I was forced to use him this week, but he'll be riding pine next week (and he'll probably go off).

tazinib1 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Why is that everytime I try to dump a player off in a trade, a thread like this comes up. I could have gotten a ton more than what I am now forced to offer on name alone. Too bad he read this thread first and woke up. Thanks for nothing jerk offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougsul Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I know its an advise question but it is on point. Â I was offered RG3 for Bowe and I need a qb. Any reason not do make this trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
