Surprised about Toomer. IMO, his release speaks volumes about Bowe's improvement. Glad Boone is gone.

This has nothing to do with Bowe, none of these guys do. This is about trying to find a #2 receiver. Apparently Toomer sucks more than Terrence Copper, Quinten Lawrence and Rodney wright.

Don't worry.

According to sports radio in New Delhi, there's a rumor going around that Anquan Boldin is as good as ours. The only holdup is compensation and whether it'll be a 6th or 7th round pick. I checked this up with my inside sources in Perth, Australia and they're claiming this as legit.

Or they're being nice and cutting Toomer (and Boone) early so they still have a chance to catch on elsewhere. That's probably not much of a concern for the likes of Copper and Wright.

The reason I think the early release of Toomer had to do with Bowe's improvement is because the two have essentially same body type and both possession/YAC type receivers. Toomer when signed when Haley wasn't sure he had a big body wideout he could count on.

So you actually think that in some alternate universe that Toomer was going to take snaps away from Bowe in the regular season?

I didn't write that... I wrote that at the time of the Toomer signing Haley apparently couldn't count on Bowe to be his big body possession/YAC type wideout (I'm also not saying that is all Bowe is). Thus the signing of Toomer.

Think about everything Haley has done up this preseason. Now rewind back some 3 or so weeks and I get the feeling, knowing what we as fans now know about Haley, that it could be entirely pausible that Toomer might've even taken snaps from Bowe in the regular season, IF Bowe's practice habit and consistancy (or whatever it is that Haley didn't like) didn't improve.

That's why I still think Toomer's release has a little bit to do with Bowe's improvement.

I don't buy that at all.

Amani Toomer is done. The only place he could get a job was with the worst receiving corp in the entire NFL, yet he couldn't even manage to do that.

Done. Finito. Adios, Mother****ers.

Those guys are still around because the Chiefs have to keep someone who can do returns, Toomer can't do that.
