If Bowe can get more receptions, his yardage totals might increase. Teicher

His technique and skills as a wide receiver are, and always have been, lacking when compared to other highly paid receivers such as Fitzgerald, Bryant, Johnson, etc.)

Bowe is a "chuck it up dawg!" type of receiver and that's not what ultimately works in this system and with this QB. When asked to run routes, he's consistently beat by defensive backs, even those who are substantially smaller than himself.

It's why he put up better numbers with worse QB's as he was allowed to simply freelance downfield. That won't happen with Reid and it definitely showed last season. (Add to that that he was downright horrible in terms of conditioning.)

It's just one more thing to consider when looking at the 2014 Draft, which was considered to be the best WR draft since 1996. They (Dorsey/Reid) knew Bowe was a bad fit along with having a very lackluster receiving corps behind him, but they still didn't take a single receiver in the draft and only signed Albert Wilson as an UDFA.

As it stands, Dwayne Bowe is the most overrated and overpaid WR in the NFL. If he can't pick up the offense and secure his routes and timing, he's simply a glorified second level fullback.

Either he produces or the Chiefs are going to take a beating on his salary as it equates to his production/performance until 2016, when they can effectively cut him. Either than or trade him, but no one is taking on his salary at this point.

Bottom line: He's got to produce. Otherwise, he's the albatross around Dorsey's neck.

Great post.

I wonder at what grade level most NFL players actually read.

See that shoe.
It says Addidas.

The offense averaged around 24pts a game last year with Bowe having a bad year and yea a good it of that was on Bowe.

He will have a better year and our offense will be better this year. We were running out slapdicks at TE most of the season. We should be deeper at WR though that has to be proven.

2nd year in the system we should see improvement.

I am more concerned about the defense.

I think he can be a cut option after the 2015 season.

Correct. Half of his 2015 base salary is guaranteed.

It's a truly horrible contract.

All I know is that a few days after the playoff loss to the Colts Bowe did an interview where he stated that if he had gotten his right foot inbounds on the last play he would have broken it. To me, he insinuated he valued his foot more than making the catch.

Is that the excuse he gets for never making the clutch catch?

You have to work very hard to get those things right at the pro level.

To be fair to Bowe, I don't think he has ever played for a coach who required that.

Bowe doesn't get open - Smith's fault.

Ball touches Bowe's hands and he doesn't catch it - Smith's fault.

I picture Teicher at this very moment spinning slowly in a huge, plush backed chair while petting a white cat and chuckling softly to himself.

Meh. Would it really shock anyone if Bowe has already peaked? He never put fear into defensive coordinators or defensive backs. Partly due to the dumpster fire KC has rolled out at QB his entire career and partly because, at times, he couldn't catch a cold. Here's to hoping last years post season Bowe is what shows up this year.

Guys like him who are good at jump-ball, possession receiver kind of stuff are the type of players that bad QBs will typically lean on. Someone like Cassel was fairly successful at getting the ball to Bowe because he is better able than most receivers to go get all the inaccurate and ill-advised throws.

Bowe had one of his most productive seasons in 2008, when the team went 2-14 and he was catching chuckducks from Tyler Thigpen.

What a color blind BB we have.

There are no shades of grey. No colors at all.

Everything is black or white with the occasional go **** yourself for artistic flare...
