Heading into the season, no one is going to mistake Pro Football Focus’s Quarterback Deep Passing signature statistic, McCown chucked passes 20 yards or more down the field at the sixth highest clip among 38 qualifying quarterback at a rate of 15.3% of his total dropbacks. Alex Smith? Dead last, with a rate of 5.2% of his total drop backs resulting in deep throws.

All of this is to say is that with little to no investment, Bowe might provide some healthy returns in his new situation as a Cleveland Brown.
