I can see Bowe having another year like 2010...especially if the running game and short passing forces defenses to account for the other guys.
16) watching Charles grow as a receiving threat. His vision, quickness and excelleration should out him into position to be as effective (or more so) than Shady was for Reid in Philly. I can see him having 1600 rushing and another 6-700 in receiving yards in this offense and that should open things up wide open for Kelce, Fasano and Bowe to eat up the middle.
17) seeing if Alex will trust his tools enough to help stretch the field with Donnie Avery. If he can do that, Charles is gonna have an absolutely sick average per touch. Might even threaten some records. Avery is a guy that can get open at all levels of the defense and should allow the tight ends and Bowe to work on man coverage if Alex and he can convert a long pass or two per game. I understand this is a tall order.
18) watching all of us "haters" eat our words about Alex and some of these other moves this new regime has made. I mean, I genuinely hope this is the case because that means we can start to get excited about watching Chiefs football games again.
It's been too long since that was the case.
More?

If Alex Smith can hit his receivers in stride (even if just on short and medium range passes), that alone will be a huge improvement over Matt Cassel's offenses.
