Chiefs TEICHER actually had the balls to write this!

Mr. Wizard · 06:53 AM

Its' about time he grew some!

By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star

So rookie running back Knile Davis, dropped a couple of easy passes yesterday at Chiefs practice, one of which was a screen pass that he would have taken for a long gain. So he’s dropped a number of other passes during offseason practice.

So what, right? It’s June, right? What does it matter, right?

Here’s why this should matter to the Chiefs: Davis is going to play a lot, the Chiefs are going to throw the ball to their backs a lot and they need Davis to be one of their big-play guys. For all of their offseason moves, the Chiefs still look short on offensive playmakers. They have Jamaal Charles, who don’t forget has an occasional fumbling problem of his own. They have Dwayne Bowe, who occasionally has a pass-dropping problem of his own.

After that, there’s some wishful thinking going on. Travis Kelce has shown some promise in offseason practice, but let’s wait on judgment there until he goes through the grind of the season. Donnie Avery has been injured since practice started. And I’ll believe that Jon Baldwin and Dexter McCluster are big-play guys when they actually start to make them.

So Davis, who is big and fast, looms as a key figure to them. And if he can’t catch the ball or learn to do it, scratch another potential big-play guy off the list, at least in the passing game.

Should be mildly amusing. When the guy speaks well of the team, everyone bags on em and says who the **** cares? Stop writing fluff pieces!

So now that he throws in some negativity... what we got? Overcompensation?

The underlying tone of thus column is Alex Smith has a noodle arm and can't throw it Downfield

A RB who can't catch AND fumbles...NICE!

Its in between the lines. Right? Receivers with hands like feet are the fault of the QB.

Read it again. It says "the chiefs are going to throw the ball to their backs a lot".

How did Bowe get this stigma of having a drop issue?

Dayze · 06-07-2013, 07:57 AM

because he's been up there with Calvin Johnson before in drops....wait....
CJ is ok. Bowe sucks because he drops nearly the same amount.

Long while back, but IIRC, Bowe got the reputation early on. He had some lasik surgery to help correct the issue.

It's all bullshit. He doesn't drop any more than other WRs of his caliber.

Just nonsense from dumbass Chiefs fans who don't like that he points at his name plate when he spikes the ball after TDs.

Hearing Avery will never play. Great pick up by Dorsey there. 28 year old constantly injured WR.

I hate OTA and training camp reports, positive or negative. They mean next to nothing. So, we're supposed to worry, or get excited based on these reports. Every year, there are reports about someone looking incredible (Jon Baldwin) only to flame out once the season starts. I refuse to extrapolate success or failure based on a, oops, he had a bad day, reports. I'll wait until games against other teams to judge what someone is or can be.
