Teicher: No sign yet that Bowe will bounce back
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs made their decision on Dwayne Bowe for better or for worse last year when they signed him to a lucrative, long-term contract.

They didn’t get their money’s worth from their No. 1 wide receiver last year, when he had the worst statistical full season of his career. Bowe failed to lead the Chiefs in receiving for the first time since they traded Tony Gonzalez after the 2008 season.

But in part because of Bowe’s big contract, the Chiefs were limited in their ability to pursue a receiver in free agency. The only wide receiver likely to make the regular-season roster who wasn’t with the Chiefs last season is rookie Albert Wilson, an undrafted free agent.

So their best chance to see dramatic improvement at the position may rest with Bowe. He had a tough day at practice on Wednesday, dropping a pair of passes and deflected another for an interception.

That’s hardly an indication that Bowe won’t rebound this season. But he hasn’t had a great camp and the Chiefs may be guilty of wishful thinking when it comes to their top wide receiver.

Bowe in September will turn 30, the age when the skills of many receivers start their decline. Could it be that process has already started with Bowe?

We’ll find out soon. Chiefs wide receivers coach David Culley said Bowe is in much better shape than he was last summer. Bowe said he’s in the best shape of his career.

“I know from last year, it’s completely different,’’ said Culley, who in his second season with the Chiefs. “Thirty is a mindset. There’s old 30s and there’s young 30s. Which 30 do you want to be? When he came back, he came back as a young 30 and that’s what you have to do to play in this league for a long time.’’

The Chiefs need Culley to be right. If he’s not, it would be obvious the Chiefs made the wrong decision last year on Bowe.

The dude was not slow. He was the same guy he always was.

I love how you are complaining about how conservative Alex Smith was during the first NINE GAMES of last year.

He was. We won games based on our overrated defense feasting on shitty QBs.

Thanks for NOTHING Alex.

And then we started playing not shitty quarterbacks and we needed more points and less conservative play.

Reid wasn't the one that didn't want to or know how to use Bowe...
the longest pass(in the air) to Bowe was like 12 yards, the big yards came after the catch

And we won all of 2 games, one on the strength of the defense destroying RG3.

Thanks, Alex.

But that's a completely different argument. You weren't saying that Smith is incapable of scoring points by throwing aggressively. You were complaining that he wasn't aggressive enough.

Basically, I think you're a bit myopic when it comes to Smith. The guy isn't all-world elite, and that pains me. But he quite obviously is a good quarterback that chooses to err on the conservative, mistake free football, for better or worse.

You obviously disagree with that approach fundamentally, which is totally valid. But when you start getting into trolltastic posting it makes it more difficult to sift through the nonsense and find out exactly what the **** you're complaining about.

Alex had 2 games after week 9 where he threw for more than 7 ypa, compared to 3 through week 9. He was streaky as shit. He took more shots down field but there was still a bunch of conservatism going on.

That's what you get with him. Frankly, I disagree with the approach, because I don't think interceptions - especially downfield interceptions - are NEARLY as detrimental to winning as coaches like to make them out to be.

They're like chasing a straight. Sure, it will bite you in the ass sometimes. You have to accept that as an occupational hazard of playing loose. But when it pass off it tends to pay off huge. And that is often times more than enough to keep you in the game.

This thread is about Alex undermining Bowe. That's all. That's the truth.

Until we play an actual game, wouldn't it be hard to tell how effective Bowe will be in games this year?

We talkin bout practice? - AI

Yep.

He will never be more than what he is: a disease that kills wide receivers.
