Metrosports Danan Hughes "Receivers can't get open"
 

Said we need to find ways for them to shove off to get open.

That's why we don't air it out. That's why Cassel looks bad.

Next draft we need a receiver.

LOL WUT

That's bull****. I will say that Chris Chambers is making a run for offensive LVP. Of course, he got paid, so that's to be expected.

FWIW, he was saying the exact same thing last season as well.

Imagine if we had a true elite #1 receiver to go with bowe, mccluster, moeaki, and our running game.

And he married his stalker (which was the reason he was dumped in San Diego - too much drama).

Not again....

It's half. The times I've seen WRs open, Cassel has gotten nailed. The times I've seen Cassel with time, he wouldn't hit the open man. It's not all one's fault.

****. Can't we just enjoy being 3-0? Have you ever tried to get separation from an NFL CB or been a HC or GM of an NFL team? Sad.

Its funny he caught a pass Sunday and I thought who the hell is 84? He's been invisible.

Adding a Vincent Jackson to this offense would keep OC's up at night.

I would say the next draft we need to look at WR.

As well as LB, OL, DL, and QB

Just because people are talking about parts of the team that could be improved doesn't mean we're not happy to be 3-0.

Just sayin.

Cassel has had numerous attempts at hitting open receivers, but the ball sails way over thier heads.

It's nice that the list is getting smaller

This has been a fairly evident problem for the past two years. We need a #1 WR.

I could be wrong, but it's tough to improve upon 3-0.

Constant bitching. I don't even want to participate in this thread. Why are you all talking about this?

LMAO

This...

Bowe is not a #1....

hughes is just mad because he could never get open

We don't need a true #1 WR, we need a true franchise QB and a WR who can stretch the field vertically. A Johnny Knox or Mike Wallace would round out this offense just fine from a skill position standpoint.

Larry Fitzgerald looks like shit when Derek Anderson is throwing him passes.

It's not a coincidence.

These.

How the **** are we going to come up with one of these? We're ****ed.

Yep....Danan Hughes knows all about below average WR's

Trade our 2nd and 3rd round draft picks in the 2011 draft. They aren't worth anything, anyway.

:spock:

I've been saying this since last season. It's 2001 all over again witn Trent. He also got blamed for everything becasue our WR's have no speed to separate. If they did then they would get open. Fire Chambers and put a young speedster out there and you'll see a difference.

Not quite worthless; there's a 2.5% chance of getting a halfway decent gunner.

But you're now posting like a real fan. Definitely worthy of a Chiefs hat with the long gold and red tassels that hung down like a braid mullet.

If we draft Blaine Gabbert this team will win 8 super bowls

WTF are you talking about? Besides the flee flicker when have you seen a WR of ours catch a ball and not get nailed right after? It doesn't happen because they are as slow as Betty White.

McCluster.

Bowe has been decent in KC, but he can perform only with sub-par QBs at the helm. Once we "improved" that position, it made sense that he fell off a bit.

As soon as Tony Gonzalez left, our wide receivers stopped getting open.

Food for thought.

Such bullshit.

Hell, didn't you gif up a wide the **** open Bowe just last week?

Oh, that's true.

But I don't think Danan Hughes would lie to support Cassel would you? Is he dumb? He's at the games, he sees the secondary.

Gonzalez affected coverage every week.

Bowe has fallen off since Gonzalez left, and Chambers is getting old. WR tend to fall off a cliff dramatically when they get old.

I wouldn't just dismiss Hughes' comments.

I'd say it's entirely possible that he's a ****ing moron, though that doesn't have to dismiss his point.

Whenever you take away a talent like Gonzo, there will necessarily be a drop off. Dude always demanded double-teams. But "stopped getting open"? Disagree.

Bowe is the biggest threat we have in the passing game. Teams stopped rolling safeties to Gonzalez and started rolling them to Bowe.

It's entirely possible it ****ed his shit up.

I really don't like dismissing comments about our wide receivers made by former NFL wide receivers, even if they made a career out of playing punt gunner.

This has been the case since last year.

If we had TJ Moe in there Bowe would be getting open. That guy is like Jordan Shipley.

It is not a real shocking statement considering we don't have any speed guys except McCluster. And maybe it is just me but it seems he lines up alot in the backfield as a RB then he does in the slot.

Hmm...this time frame seems to coincide with something else, too.

Bowe is slow as molasses. You never see that guy run free ever.

its "D, All of the above"

sometimes:
the Oline doesn't protect well
the WR's don't get open
Cassel doesn't see the open guy
Cassel can't make the throw to an open guy
the WR's drop the ball when he does make the throw

you rotate all these things and the passing game is going to be inconsistent as ****

you can also throw in a game plan that gets conservative because of all those problems so it gives less opportunities in general.

He beat a lot of single coverage when Gonzalez was here.

He had a terrific rookie season and his 08 was pretty good.

I'm not saying Cassel doesn't contribute to his problems but....

He is a possession receiver. he is never going to break any long ones unless the whole D falls down and can't get back up.

There's nothing wrong with that. Cris Carter was a possession receiver.

Right now Bowe isn't even a good possession receiver. He has 7 catches in three games.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it but in today's NFL in order to be a true #1 you have to be a game breaker and he is not.

See, I'm not even concerned about that.

All I want from Bowe is 70 catches for 1,000 yards.

Right now he's on pace for about 600 yards.

Chambers is right back to where he was before...good on his rookie contract, gets paid goes blah, is blah in San Diego..good here then re-signs and blah again.

I'd like to draft a WR but I'm not expecting to be in position for that now.

tbh part of that is because we didn't throw at all the 1st game and didn't throw much the 2nd.

If we add some speed to press the safeties it would help Bowe alot.

we still have to take our shots deep to force the defense to play honest.

And about 35 catches. God that is pathetic for supposedly your #1 WR.

We're never going to have a prolific passing game with this QB, just get use to it for awhile.

So, you are saying we need to draft REALLY TALL wide receivers

I'd like to see them develope Horne he's got the size and speed.

Dwayne lost too much weight?

Yes because no good WR's are ever found below the 1st round.

I would think Bowe would be perfect for Cassel considering how big he is and is not like they are going to ask Bowe to run the go route.

I agree

Way to take what I said completely out of context, we all know what the WR 1st round class looks like this coming year.

You've seen two games live at Arrowhead from the best vantage point in the house.

You'd be lying if you said you haven't seen several instances in each of those games where at least one WR - sometimes more - running open, only to have Cassel throw the ball elsewhere.

I've seen it. You've seen it. Flopnuts has seen it. ChiefsCountry has seen it.

It's not coincidence.

No, Danan is not a moron. But he is a guy who focuses on the positive and tries to encourage players. He's been saying this for a long time. I'd think he should know.

I was going to say this :D. The shoe's on the other foot now baby!

I guess for the same reason some people want to talk about JC not getting enough carries in a blowout win. Who knows makes no sense.

Problem is Bowe couldn't catch the AIDS with two gallons of lube and a sash in San Fran...

Jeez, you really love this sarcastic bit huh? :facepalm:

much like Shaun Smith, he has an addicktion

isn't this Bowe's contract year? Will we give keep him?

Haley doesn't seem to think much of him
