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.”

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
