Bowe was 7th in yard in 2010 and 10th in 2011 with Matt Cassel.

I love how posters continue to bring up how Alex Smith is the best QB we've had since Green, like the level of QB play since Green makes it a ****ing prize.

I hope like heck that I am one of them, and they do finally catch lightning in a jug, after getting electrocuted the 17 times they previously tried this.

How will you really feel, if that happens? If they do find success, will you crawl back and say, "damn, I should have supported my team.. I feel like a deserter crawling back to the winning side?"

Trent Green-

2003: 4039 yards and 24 TDs
2004: 4591 yards and 27 TDs
2005: 4010 yards and 17 TDs

I'll take it.

Says the 49ers and Chiefs fan...

ROFL

Because "the best thing since Green" means Green.

Yes. Everyone would.

I'm ok with this.

That doesn't even make any sense. Let's put this into words your brain can handle, k?

49ers come first and are my only true love.

Chiefs are a distant 2nd favorite that I will take interest in pulling for, so long as they don't conflict with the 49ers.

... and done. :p

LMAO

Bowe doesn't strike me as the prototypical WCO WR...

Agreed. In the short term but you won't see anything like those stats if you line up 2010,11 and 12 for Alex. Though I'll admit he might have had a season at least a bit closer if he'd been able to finish out last season.

Still, the 9ers finished 23rd in total passing yards and Alex averaged 160 passing yards/game. It's probably skewed by the game he got hurt in but he was still on pace to throw for less than 3,000 yards.

because... ???

If people are so sure Reid will air it out more, then the numbers will be close. Remember, Harbaugh pushed balanced, conservative offense. SF had a very strong defense and punter to play the field position game. Reid seems like he will take more risk and aggression to the field (at least somewhat more).. so Alex's INTs may rise a bit, but the pass yards should rise as well.

Doesn't matter how much Reid wants to air it out if his starting QB is too scared to take the shot.

I'm expecting lots of sacks and checkdowns.

Alex isn't a gunslinger, but this "scared" angle gets way overblown. Lots of checkdowns from Harbaugh in 2011-2012 were designed plays... clear-outs. This isn't the old 2006-2007 days where tons of checkdowns went to Gore just because they were easy.

... then again, with a guy like Charles out of the backfield (or in), maybe it would be wise and beneficial to check passes to him frequently.

Actually I was pointing out how players that make bold predictions (i.e. CJ2K's 2,000 yard rushing prediction made almost every year) always fall well short of said prediction.

Glad to see some enthusiasm. Hopefully everyone is this enthusiastic and it knocks the stink of losing off this team.

The 9ers were 4th in rushing and 23rd in passing. That's not balanced but it's definitely conservative. That's what you do when you have a really good team and a limited quarterback. When you don't have a really good team and you have an extremely limited QB you get Matt Cassel or Alex Smiths bad years.

I suppose we'll see as far as Andy Reid airing it out. I suspect we just drafted a RT with the first pick of the draft and a fullback later on for a reason. Alex may throw more times but I'd hope it'll all be underneath stuff and screens. I wouldn't call that airing it out though.

This

Fair enough. I don't happen to think Alex is as "limited" as some folks think. I think having a team of lackluster receivers... or at the very least.. receivers that don't yet fully know the new offense well.. was a "limited" aspect of the team. It should really say something to people when Vernon Davis.. our best receiving weapon.. tells the media that he didn't really grasp the 2011 offense well until late in the season. Add in the fact that we had a bottom 5 center and right guard on the OL? Yeah... Harbaugh was wise to "limit" the playbook.

I agree mostly with the last paragraph though. If Reid is wise, he would do well to trend towards a similar offense that Alex was so efficient with in SF.

I'll say this.. I hope you're right. I do think Alex is a good fit for a WC type offense as it should help cover for his lack of arm strength.

Bowe has earned his love. Alex Myth hasn't earned jack ****ing shit as a Chief. Until he proves otherwise, he shall be known to me as, "Grbono: The Quickening".

I wonder if this forum will be as active when the Chiefs start winning. As I've always said, half of this place comes here because they like to be martyrs and root against the Chiefs

I also think you will be slightly pleased with his arm strength. It has been much better since he worked with Tom House (pitching guru) and Alex tweaked his mechanics.

His arm will never be confused with the true cannons.. but it isn't "weak" either.

Only cockroaches will be around by that time

Hopefully we can just start an "Alexsexual" sub-lounge to confine you and your ilk in forevar. You know, kind of like a virtual closet...

Seen this before on SF forums.

-some will claim that they believed in Alex all the time, but just enjoyed pissing people off with their comments.

-some will make every excuse in the book to suggest that "the team around Alex was perfection... and Alex needs to be carried by perfection."

-some will say that "9 wins just isn't good enough... that the season was some fluke.. that just barely winning isn't really winning.. and they still must get a real QB to get any further."

The feet will be dug in so deeply that you will rarely hear "I was wrong about that QB." ... and if you do read that? Then others will kiss that ass because that person had the stones to admit they were wrong.

So there really won't be any worthwhile accountability.

... and like I said before... internet pride and the "being right or wrong" game is pretty silly anyway. None of us get paid to assess players or assess draft prospects. Yet people still find a way to insert their egos to other anonymous people on a forum.

It is an interesting... and addictive world.

Nah. Better to make a separate sub-lounge for the sky is falling posse that constantly express misery and defeatism about their own team.

If we have that many of these fans, then why not just combine forums with the rest of the AFCW? The division rivals respect the Chiefs more than these aforementioned fans. :shake:

Beacuse nobody that's a fan of this team has ever seen a scrub QB have some sucess (Grbac & Bono) for a single season only to bust the following year.

Perhaps most of the folks on thsi board that your describe as "... martyrs and root against the Chiefs..." are not buying into yet another back QB being brought in as the starting QB for KC. We've seen this movie before, we know how it ends.

No one demands that you "buy into it", but many suggest you give it a chance before ripping it to shreds. That's the chickenshit way to go. You may very well have seen "movies" similar... but some movies actually CAN end differently.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe told reporters yesterday that he would lead the NFL in receptions and touchdowns in 2013 but he also had some praise for his new QB, Alex Smith.

“Just watching Steve Young back in the day, he’s that kind of guy,” Said Bowe on Wednesday. “He’s not too vocal about it, but when he’s in the huddle, he makes his presence known. He’s demanding guys speed up — I mean, I never had a quarterback like that.”
Wow. That is pretty high praise.
Bowe isn’t the only player heaping praise on Smith. Despite being early on in the process, the players seem to be warming to Smith as their new leader. Two of those players are WRs Dexter McCluster and Jonathan Baldwin.

“He’s a great quarterback, a guy that’s mobile, a guy that knows how to read defense and take advantage of mismatches,” McCluster said. “He’s definitely confident. As a quarterback, you need to be confident. But knowing him, he’s never shaken.”
Baldwin noted that he is already developing a rapport with his new QB.

“We communicate all the time. We text back and forth, talking about different things we see, different things we want to do,” said Baldwin. “He kind of understands where I’m going to be, and I understand what he’s thinking, and the more you have a relationship with your quarterback off the field, the better it is on the field.”
For Baldwin and McCluster, Smith could be just what the doctor ordered. While McCluster has had a bit more success, both players have failed to meet the expectations that come along with being taken in the first two rounds of the draft. Andy Reid’s offense, combined with Smith’s accuracy, could be the combination that finally helps McCluster and Baldwin get to the next level as receivers.

Of course it can but the Chiefs have been doing it for 25 years now. We haven't won a playoff game since '93. How long would you expect a normal sane person to keep hoping it's going to work?

Yeah, still not holding my breath for this to end up with KC in the Super Bowl, Hell even with a win in the playoffs.

Tough one to answer... and I can at least sense from you that you want to keep some optimism. Everyone is "built differently"... For me, I'd keep some optimism when I see my F/O trying different things to see if the next attempt can work. And that is what I see the Chiefs trying... (different coaches.. different QBs)

If the exact same coaching and players were being thrown out there? Yeah, I'd probably adopt a negative attitude also. But that isn't what is happening.

Cassel spent last off season with a pitching coach and we saw what happened there. Just saying. I am taking a wait and see approach at this point.

99% of us ARE giving it a chance. We're still here, aren't we?

The future looks ****ing grim. That's all we're saying. This experiment is most likely not going to work barring an unprecedented spike in Alex Smith's productivity that he has never even sniffed before in his career.

Actually iirc the busiest times for this forum are when theta something to be excited about.

DBowe Show raping NFL cornerbacks near you

It's not!

Why the **** should this fanbase be happy with 9 wins and a first round trouncing?...

Because 9 wins and a playoff visit would be a monumental step in the right direction for your franchise? One that would likely lead to a deep playoff run the following year after more consistency and added weaponry?

My My... the young world of the entitled.. insisting upon a SB championship after being 2-14 the year before or all is a failure? Get real. :rolleyes:

At least Bowe will be thrown better-placed balls.


Cassel's passes required circus catches a lot of the time.

Hit Bowe in stride and watch the fun ensue. Oh yeah, Baldwin too.

I dunno. Bowe had a tendency to drop the few bread basket throws.

The first part of your post : Hell ya.


The second : I will believe it when I see it.

LMAO


I just about said that myself, so in other words This.

The bolded part is the problem. The Chiefs have been using the same QB blueprint for 30 years now, in signing castoffs from other teams. We've been to the point already where we win 7-9 games and a playoff visit. But because of the way the team was built, it's never lead to deep playoff runs the following years. Quite the opposite actually.

The same blueprint, perhaps... but there are new sheriffs in town... new players. Enter: Dorsey and Reid and Alex Smith.

That same blueprint is being led by different people.. so ....

FYP.

Another case of "Battered Fan Syndrome".

That's also the same bullshit we tried to tell ourselves the last time. And the time before that. And the time before that.....

Just like it was being led by different people in 2009.

Might have a slightly better ending this time around if you care about winning 8 regular season games. But it will ultimately meet the same fate of not accomplishing anything of relevance.

And 1989.

And that's why we're all pissed at the new Sheriff for old crimes...

Ah yep. Everything that is old is new again.

I'm glad Jamaal Charles is going lead the league in rushing and that Dwayne Bowe is going lead the league in receptions and touchdowns. Awesome looking forward to it D Bowe :thumb:

Nobody's insisting on anything like that you ****ing idiot.

We're insisting on building a team the RIGHT ****ING WAY. Meaning when your team is the worst team in the NFL and you have no franchise QB, you take that opportunity to ****ing draft one instead of trading for a backup.

If anything, we're saying that loading up on free agents like a ****ing crack-addicted smack slut and paying out the ass for gargage QBs that other teams don't want is the WRONG way to build. We're opting for perhaps fewer wins in the short term as long as we can get MORE wins in the long term.

This method that we're employing now, if anything, is the "young world of the entitled" you senile douchebag. It's an "I don't have long to be alive, so get that game manager QB out there pronto so we can start putting up 9-7 seasons and one-and-dones in the playoffs! We have to do that right away! NOW!"

How's that insisting working for you? Because I assure you, all you are doing is looking like a pouting child throwing a tantrum for not "getting your way." Boo-Hoo!!! Don't like what's being built? Piss off.. take your lil toys and go home.

Or don't. I don't ****ing care. I find your tantrums hilarious. Some of us may actually have some respect for the KC GM and HC.. and the scouting department that clearly didn't see a worthwhile QB to develop into a SB winner. Some of us are taking a laid back approach of wait-n-see optimism.

( insert "deal with it" gif ) nlm

some of us are chiefs fans.

You aren't, take a laid back wait and see approach all you ****ing want.


But please quit telling us how to act about our team

This has got to be blackbob

somebody better warn bowe ther is a drug test in his future

Says the old entitled ****bag who is willing to a suck a dick... any dick... even Alex Smith's dick just for 9-7 and a one-and-done in the playoffs.

You can go ahead and be happy about that. I'm willing to be patient and go through a team rebuild the RIGHT way, which includes acquiring a real franchise QB and not spending all this ****ing money on middle-of-the-road stop gap free agents. I'm willing to go through more 2-14 seasons if the end result is a sustained level of playoff success for a decade or more.

Now who's the entitled dipshit?

More tantrums... delightful. So the team didn't take the approach you wanted. Poor baby. You ever gonna get over it and act like a man? Or you just gonna keep pouting and misdirect your crybaby BS to the KC Fans that actually are interested in the season(s) ahead?

They're not doing things to your satisfaction... you cry about it... and even have to ask who the entitled dipshit is?!? Guess that just makes you entitled and dense.

Now is there anything else we can add to this riveting discussion? Or do you have a burning need to hurl more childish hostilities at me because you are in a state of despair? Moving on now??? Good! Wipe your tears... straighten your shirt, and use a towel to clear the snot running down your nose. It's gonna be okay, puddin'.... :rolleyes:

So if someone isn't happy with a move and get on a ****ing message board to state that they are now "entitled"?


That's the point of this ****ing place.

There's a lot more to a forum than just crying repetitively like a pussy that didn't get its way.

Discuss whatever the hell you want... sure you have that freedom. But when you cry over and over, then expect to be called on it.

What happened when you cried for more than 10 minutes as a child? Did your daddy just roll his eyes and ignore it? or did he smack you upside the head and yell, "STFU and be a man!" ?

Think about it.

Bullshit. I'm here for the epic sloths thread
