A video on who he thinks will be the breakout receiver of 2009:

Dwayne Bowe - ESPN Video - ESPN

Chris Carter is almost right on the money with this one, however, Even though I wish it was true, D Bowe will never be the receiver Fitzgerald is.

Good post. Bowe has all the physical tools. Maybe this coaching staff can work on his concentration.

Even TG was surprised to see it and they laughed as they both ran off the field.

He swooped in out of no where because he wasn't supposed to be there! He ran the wrong route.

No doubt, Bowe has all the physical tools, with the exception of speed, but until he stops dropping balls, he'll just be an alright receiver. When I see him not drop any over a prolonged period of time and he's constantly producing, then I'll say he's near the top.

Agreed 100%. Until he catches nearly everything that is thrown his direction, and stops dropping the ones that hit his hands, he will never be directly compared to Fitzgerald. I'm not saying Bowe is bad by any means, I am sooo thankful to have him, I just think its a long-shot putting him up there with Fitzgerald.

Well Vanilla, considering that you still have Tony G. as your sig. picture, Im gonna assume that you are / were a pretty big fan of his. With that said, you might remember that Tony dropped alot of passes his second year. In training camp last year, Tony was even saying that Dwayne would have to work really hard not to go through that. Im almost positive that Tony dropped 14 passes his second year, the same number as D-Bo, but I couldnt find the stat any where so Im not sure. The only thing I found was an old article saying that Tony G. was gonna have to be more consistent if he wanted to be any good. He turned out to be pretty good... I guess.

It'll be tough for Bowe. With no Tony G demanding a double team, opposing teams can concentrate on Bowe, as no one else among our receivers frighten them

I dont think Chan Gailey and Todd Haley are worried about not being able to create a game plan able to get D-BO open. These guys are both one of the best in the biz. If a defense wants to target D-BO, THEY WILL take advantage of that. Thats when D-BO starts to get open.
