They don't know his contract situation, his advanced metrics, the fact that we're on his NTC. The sad part is that Bowman is equipped with all that knowledge and still manages to have consistently terrible takes like that.
I've always looked at Bowman as someone who writes fluff to appeal to the common fan. His stuff really isn't targeted to the die hard, knowledgeable fans of this board.
