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.

There a reason we ran a ton of screen plays to JC. Because that is where he is most dangerous.
Agreed. We need to call more plays where he's guaranteed to get the ball. He's great after the catch.

As I said a year ago, and the year before that, and the year before that....I'm awaiting the glorious day when you become an optimistic Chiefs fan that you once were.

We went from the worst scoring team in the NFL in 2012, to the 6th best scoring team in 2013. I don't see what the problem is here.

Better? That's hard to say but I do feel we would easily be just as good. Last year's production wouldn't be hard to match. He doesn't draw double teams or anything. He's a good blocker but so is Hemmingway. I honestly believe Junior could be just as good. We don't need an all world #1 WR in this offense.

The problem is...Alex isn't ****ing Tom Brady or Peyton Manning and some people can't accept it. I, for one, am a shit ton happier with the guy we have now. I want the elite guy too, but for now I'm cautiously optimistic.

Chiefs actual offensive points per game was 11th. Defense and special teams accounted for more.

And that was against a shit schedule.

Watch them fall back a few this year.

What would benefit this offense more than anything is a good tight end.

I said team points.

However, we went from 8 passing td's to 24. And 9 rushing td's to 17. We are not as bad as some of you make things out to be.

If he started 16 games as the #1 WR he could get 57 receptions for 673 yards and 5 TDs. Yes, I do believe he could.

He doesn't even know where to line up half the time.

He'll never be a #3 WR, let alone a #1 WR.

That's valid, but you also have to consider that every special teams TD eliminates an offensive drive and alleviates pressure to turn up the heat in the passing game.
