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. http://espn.go.com/blog/kansas-city-...ll-bounce-back |

Ask yourself this: if we traded Bowe tomorrow to the Pats, Packers, Saints, or Colts what type of production would you expect?
Would he get 1,000 yards next year? I think the answer is yes to all 4...

We could sign someone. Bowe ranked 57th in receiving yards last year. |

There isn't a single WR on the Pats roster I'd trade Bowe for.

wow no sign of a Bowe comeback after 1 ****ign preseason game where the starter threw 3 lame duck wobblers for about 5 yards each
jesus ****ign christ Maybe lets wait for a couple regular season games....it would be pretty hard for Bowe NOT to do better than last season, even if smiff goes down

Why?
Because our O line is in shambles? Because we'll play the best teams in the league? Because we added another legit threat to the passing game?...

I never fear an NFL schedule before the season. Been watching the game far too long for that. Every off season is ground hog day on this board and every year 6 new playoff teams emerge.

Bowe was ranked 27th in targets among all receivers last year with 118.
TG was targeted 119 times or ONE MORE TIME and had 26 more receptions, 186 more yards and three more TDs than Bowe. Did you see what the Jets did to TG on MNF last year? They put like three guys on him. Catching the ball is ****ing important!!!! Bowe had his chances and still ranked among the 32 most targeted or #1 receivers (WR & TE combined) in the league. |
