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 |

I don't think it matters. I think Dorsey shows him the door after this year no matter what he does...

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

Can't a hired by KC thug just plant some dope and guns in his car, and send the po-po at him? Some contract clause that can recoup that money?

We havent had a precise offensive system here since Vermeil and Bowe has never experienced that, he's been able to produce because of and in spite of exactly what you mention. Years of poor offensive systems and crap QB's... it surely breeds sloppiness. Its my opinion that he knows the deal now, we'll see... he tries to be a good guy IMO. |

If he has any lazy football habits, then none of them were being helped in any way until Andy Reid and Alex Smith showed up /ed* Haley started the process... now he's being forced to grow and it will start to stick with him, the guy has always struck me as a coach pleaser, he wants to stay here for some odd reason. Young 30. |

I just don't see him, at 29/30 years old, suddenly changing his methodology in terms of preparing for the game. I hope it happens. Even with the shortcomings in his game, he's still our best receiver. (However, he's not the diesel cocked WR stud that C.E. is making out to be in this thread. The guy has some serious holes in his game that do not correlate to his current contract. At this point, Dorsey overpaid.) |

Oh, I am very sorry. Your answer must be in the FORM of a question and while this is a well constructed sentence, it is a sentence as it does not end with a question mark.

Hope in one hand, have your boy friend poop in the other, and guess which one gets full first.
