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.

Bowe was a lot more consistent before Alex Smith came along.

I'd like to see more plays where we get the ball to Bowe and let him make some shit happen. Little bubble screens or short drag routes. Get that big bastard the rock and let him crush some ****ers.

Those plays don't work because defenses know they can cheat up on short stuff with Alex as our QB.

Holy ****, he's almost 30?

We need to seriously invest some draft picks on WR's next year.

The line is a question mark, but I believe we have plenty of pieces to put a solid one together... it all really comes down to Fisher.

Hudson is a year wiser to the game and system.
Same for Allen (though he still worries me a bit)
Kush looks very primed to push hard for a starting spot.
Fulton has fit right in by all accounts.
Stephenson is way more than talented enough to hold down RT.
Love what I'm hearing about this "dirtbag" Henry.

And thats not counting the other guys fighting for a role, I think the pieces are there, its just a matter of finding the right chemistry... and Fisher.

Jeff Allen is a shit player. The rest of the line is unproven. Any confidence in them at this point is complete pie in the sky homer optimism. It's ****ing crazy.

If he gets 1000 yards you should kill yourself.


Actually if you take a breath in the next 15 minutes you should probably kill yourself.


The point is you should kill yourself.

Hudson is solid with a ton of potential. Stephenson is our best T and probably best lineman.

The rest are either proven to be bad or scrubs...

I still want them to get Bowe the ball and let him get some YAC. Even if it's just every once in a while to keep him engaged.

What reason do we have to think Bowe won't have a better season? He had a great playoff game and apparently has dropped weight and is in great shape. All Bowe needs is for Alex to chunk it to him more and for Andy to call his number on plays designed to get him the advantage. All teams do that for their weapons. There a reason we ran a ton of screen plays to JC. Because that is where he is most dangerous.

The best way to do that is in single man coverage...

No, he's always consistently dropped the ball, checked out against good corners and choked when we needed him to make a play.
