Hopefully this turns into a situation like the Saints had when they signed Joe Horn away from us. Under the radar guy who needed a shot to bust out...

Lets get Bowe and Darling an offensive line and a QB to get them the ball.

Darling played with 2 of the most ineffective QB's this past year.. I think this is a very good signing for the Chiefs.

A 3rd round pick with 20 catches in 4 years? This guy sounds like a Carl Peterson draft pick. I'm guessing that he's been considered a major bust by Ravens fans, especially since they haven't exactly had all-pro WR's ahead of him.

As cheap as the contract was, I don't think anyone can say this is a bad signing, but by the same token, I don't know how anyone can realistically think that he's going to be better than a #3 or #4 WR based on his 4 years of experience.

If I remember correctly, he and his brother were both at Florida State when his brother died, then he transferred to Wash. St.

People doubted Bowe because of his combine speed.

He was fairly productive.

Actually Mark Clayton and Derrick Mason are pretty decent.

Yeah, I checked their stats from the last three years, and you're right, they have been pretty good.

Just gotta hope Darling can build on this past season. Hard to imagine why Baltimore would just let him walk for chump change though, if they thought he still had upside. Guess Harbaugh/Cameron want their own players at that position.

Baltimore is pretty deep at WR. They have a young kid there Demetrius Williams they are pretty high on as well.

same could be said about a lot of free agents.

the same team let go a pretty good RB named...um...what was it...Priest something.

If he can run good routes and make cuts he may be alright. Have to see. If he doesnt return kicks, we can concentrate on a KR specialist later in the draft without having to depend on him also being the other starting WR.

They just had nobody throwing them the ball.

Actually this is a case where the stats can be deceiving... You say oh 331 yards and 3 TD in 20 receptions in 4 years.....

What I see is 316 yards on 17 receptions with 3 TD to close out the last 8 games of 2007. He does that over a 16 game season and you have 632 yards and 6 TD. Nobody but TG or Bowe put up anywhere close to those numbers.

I like this signing...cheap and rising....

Sometimes a player just gets better then all of a sudden he's traded ....

I love this signing. I've expected him to become a solid NFL WR since he was in college, and he finally started proving that out last year. And a new Chief that I'm already familiar with and have always kind of rooted for is also just neat, so there's that, too.
