Navarro Bowman should be drug tested

Apparently Navarro Bowman is quite obsessed with one Luke Kuechly, according to this article from Saturday before the game.

 

"Bowman, who twice brought up Kuechly without prompting during the interview, knows the perceived gulf between them has widened since their 2014 meeting in Charlotte."

“Our numbers - they’re not too far apart,” Bowman said. “But he’s still where he is. And I’m still scratching and clawing, trying to keep my head above water. Why is that?”

Bowman has a theory. He notes he was a third-round pick in 2010, while Kuechly was selected No. 9 overall in 2012.

“He got drafted in what round?” Bowman said. “So it makes (NFL evaluators) seem like they’re right. I got drafted in the third round, so any negative energy I bring toward my name, it makes them seem like they’re right.

 

Jealousy and insecurity isn't a good look, Bow.

 

“You watch this whole game of NaVorro Bowman,” he said. “And you watch this whole game of Luke Kuechly. You tell me who the best linebacker is.”

 

Ahem, Luke was credited 5 tackles, 2 assists and 1 interception on a defense that absolutely shut down the 49er offense 

Bowman had 3 tackles and 2 assists in a 23-3 loss.

This quote about the 2014 playoff game is something else:

“It was Luke Kuechly this; it was Luke Kuechly that,” Bowman said during a recent hour-long interview. “We went out there and we beat the brakes off them. Nobody said anything. But I guarantee you, if Luke Kuechly would have done something they would have blown it up.”

    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
