Kansas City Chiefs fans and fantasy football owners alike have been incredibly disappointed with the performance of wide receiver Dwayne Bowe. As it turns out, Bowe is one of the biggest problems of the team moving forward and he’s on a rapid decline that is catching everyone’s attention.

According to Greg Bedard of Sports Illustrated, Bowe is a big problem because he is no longer able to beat man coverage.

He wrote:

"The Chiefs have a big problem with receiver Dwayne Bowe. Not sure what has happened to him, but he lacks explosion and can’t beat man coverage anymore. Defenses don’t fear him at all."

Bowe certainly has talent, but he is not producing and we have all noticed.

You have to wonder if the lack of arm strength from Alex Smith causes Bowe to take it easy on his routes or if he is just on a rapid decline from the clear cut No. 1 guy that he once was.

If it is the latter, the Chiefs will need to address wide receiver early in free agency or the 2014 NFL Draft.
