/ edit to state that public polling should be the ****ing default

Did you fall and hit your head earlier?

****ing serious?

Without a doubt he should be

:LOL:

Oh, you were serious?


In that case....




NO!

I'm not suggesting he be inducted. I am putting forth a topic that I believe people will enjoy participating in either to bash Bowe or to kick the shit out of anyone left willing to defend him.

Some, I'm sure, will actually want to have a discussion on his merits. Hell... after the way that things went down with NS I never expected him to be inducted.

Dwayne Bowe once dropped a pass and got old, so should we put him up on the ring of honor in spite of the Chiefs all-time numbers he holds for his position?

ROFL

Are you guys serious?

Look at the turds who are currently up on the ring of honor, and consider who we have right now who can legitimately surpass any of that production, especially given the franchise's penchant for avoiding franchise QBs and the guys they throw the ball to.

It's gonna be a long time. May as well throw him up there.

I can't believe you're serious.

This goes to show you just how pathetic and shitty this franchise truly is...

I'm not.

I just don't get the point of even asking this question. It's like asking if Jovan Belcher seems nice.

Relatively speaking, . . Meh.

Sure why not.

Bigger issue. They need to rename the entire edifice to Ring of Participation Ribbons.

Well hay, if we just all look at the numbers and completely ignore everything else then yeah let's add him to the ring.

Tony Gonzalez isn't even on the ring yet tbh.

If you look at Bowes numbers he deserves to be in.

Why not Larry Johnson while you're at it?

Yes, and a Sonic logo next to the letters.

.

Why not? He made everyone feel good for a little bit, right?

And that's all that matters in Chiefs Kingdumb; feeling good every now and then.

And pay us your money, please.

Steve Bono and his 70 yard scamper should make it.

:rolleyes:

He has a point, capone.

I'd put in Colquitt today over bowe's entire career. The irony of course is bowe's drops led to most of Colquitt's opportunities to shine.

Colquitt shanks > Bowe's drops.

I can't think of one big play, or a time bowe shouldered the load, or won anything of significance....

Dude couldn't even win a playoff game.

LJ had some transcendent seasons.


Bowe's best seasons weren't jaw-dropping.


Yes, their is an argument to be made.

Just to be clear, Johnson was only good because of one of the best oline in history. I celebrateD every time Charles broke one of his records. And for bowe, he dropped more important catches than he ever hauled in. Numbers through longevity with the team as the only option do not warrant special recognition just based on the numbers alone.

Meh, I'm so pissed at this under performing team and it's history of fail. Put whoever you want up there. Celebrate more mediocrity.

In the playoff game he had the huge catch and run and took it like 50 yards and then he was slow and was caught from behind and then we had to settle for a field goal. We lost that game by 1 point.

I here ya, but that's why I wouldn't want him up there. Maybe I'm holding the ring of honor to a higher level than it deserves but it seems like mediocre players shouldn't be up there. I understand in the early days they might've felt the need to load it up with guys who weren't exactly deserving.

Yeah. For me, tony g, Charles, shields and dj, are the only players I would consider ring worthy in our recent history anyway.

WHY? How?

I agree.

There's an argument to be made for Tamba Hali, but I could also live without it. It's looking like Houston might need a spot one day.

I don't put Larry and Bowe in the same category. Spitting on women and getting high are, to me, two vastly different things.

I hope so, I hope he keeps this up. I'd love to see berry live up to ring of honor status as well. It's hard to celebrate individuals on teams that have no significant wins as well as some historical chokes. Sorry man, just bitter this year. I really talked this team up this year and had some high expectations...again.

Reminds me though, I ran into Will Shields at a bar down the street from me a couple weeks ago. I noticed him right away and he was having dinner with his wife so I sort of spied from a distance until they were about done. Then as he was leaving I had to go say hi to him and he was very courteous, then he looked over at my fiance and family and told them hello and to have a great night. He lives just east of Olathe.

My Larry comment was a joke. You could have put up those numbers behind that line. The moment they were gone, he shriveled into nothing.

A lot of us did. This year is beyond depressing. It's gotten old. Tired of being let down.

That's another point I was making, though.

Mediocre players ARE up there. And once you put in Gonzalez and Waters, there's not much left unless you want to keep scraping the bottom of the bucket.

I think Justin Houston WILL be a worthy admission to that list, and Charles has already done enough to go on the ring one day. Who else currently on this team can you think of as a worthy recipient of team HOF honors?

Great stuff! Seems like a class act all around.

If we're all going to sit here and look at the stats then yeah Larry should be on the ring. But I don't believe we live in that world. Bowe shouldn't be on the ring, and neither should Larry.

I admit I don't know much about the guys up there now.

I definitely could have. I was a very good running FB back in the day. :D

Ha!

Honestly I think that's what makes the selections nowadays more difficult. The ring is loaded right now. There's not that much room left. Priest just went up there. So I think from here out the Chiefs have to hold the ring to a higher standard. Only for guys who are elite at their positions for multiple years and went above and beyond a normal player.

For three decades they've been basically putting on nothing but people from the Hank Stram days.

There SHOULD be a lot of people from those days. But all of them? Lloyd Burress? Jim Lynch? Seriously?

Here's a better hypothetical question IMO: Who should be removed/isn't deserving of the ROH?

I would hope so. I would hate for all your stories to actually be about your adventures spitting on women.

Loch Lloyd? Is he raising buffalo by any chance?

No. He lives at 127th and Rosehill actually. In a cul de sac.

I'm not qualified for that. That's a question for one of our esteemed old timers. Maybe we need another ring? My toilet has lots lots of rings...yup still bitter.

I'm unsure whether your replies to me in various threads regarding weed are some sort of snark or if you are being friendly and kidding with me on the subject.

https://s.yimg.com/fz/api/res/1.2/Uy...es/7808909.jpg

It's not my scene, but hold no judgement. And by no, I mean NO JUDGEMENT. I look on it like you being a cigar aficionado or a big fan of Lebanese food. I don't have distaste for it, just not any urge to partake myself.

I listen to a lot of Doug Benson [and friends], so I may have an outsized sense of how much everyone but me smokes.

And so far as various threads. I've referenced it directly TWICE, once when you were talking about being to overly excited and sad at the same time, and another when you first referenced knowing the difference between weed and spitting on women. They seemed pretty organic responses to your statements.

Sweet... all good. Just not always easy to tell when people are being snarky over the net. I hope I don't come off as a the typical tv stoner when I post here. I smoke a considerable amount of marijuana but I am not so adversely affected by it that I'm not able to function... unlike others.

Nah, my mental image isn't the Cheech and Chong of yesteryear, but like I said, Doug Benson or Kevin Smith putting out 5 or more podcasts a week.

Baked and conversational, but lucid.

he gives me a derrick alexander vibe... so no.

He can sponsor the Sonic Slam inning for the Royals.

what the ****, pr cap one is trolling?

Save the spot for someone worthy of it...like Jeremy Maclin and Jamaal Charles

No Thank You

How many playoff games did Bowe help us win?



Oh.


Well, he definitely belongs in the Sonic Hall of Fame. So he's got that going for him.

Remove Neil Smith, add Dwayne Bowe.

Neil Smith sold out, but he was a superior Chief to Bowe in their respective times here.

And sell out or no, selling out for a SB ring is superior to selling out for $$ and a seat on the bench.

Honestly I think he deserves to go in. Just on numbers alone.


It's not his fault he played in a poor era for Chiefs football.

Honestly LJ is more deserving than Bowe. No one liked LJ because he was a major asshole but he was one of the best at his position in the league for a short period of time. Bowe was never anything close to the best WR in the league

But but but but but 2010 stats.

It has been known to happen on occasion. :D

Evil will always triumph because good is dumb

it's gotta be about more than numbers, unless you are that flat out great
those 2 were not

Neil Smith sucks.

do you have an irredentist tight pair of chinos?

LJ was absolutely great for about a 3 year span.

The fact Bowe is near the top of the list in the Chiefs all time WR stats speaks more to how mediocre the Chiefs have historically been at the WR position than it does to anything great Bowe did in KC.

when the phoenix suns redid the stadium, they put a video ring up that scrolls the names

I didn't don't like it , but it's a solution

either that or use all those empty yellow seats

Hey now. We've had Joe Horn on this team. Andre Rison. Amani Toomer. Kevin Curtis. Ashlee Lelie.

Tons of studs.

omg

wherever you lead, break out the book of ruth.

I love Otis Taylor and even with him, the Chiefs have a very shitty history with wide receivers. Bowe being among the franchise leaders is meaningless.

This is hilarious.

With the current rules, Bowe would need to be 50 percent higher than Otis to warrant consideration.

Kris Wilson deserves a spot.
