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 |

According to the atheists in DC, eyewitness accounts are literally the worst form of evidence. But yeah, I've seen Teicher in lingerie.

Why does Bowe need to rebound? He's already as good as Calvin Johnson/CP

Sometimes I wonder what in the hell the editors are reading when they give these columns titles.

Dwayne Bowe had a bad year in 2013. Why Bowe is above criticism from many on here is strange, especially considering how overly critical many are on most players. Teicher is just being Captain Obvious, as usual.

It's hard to be productive when you're a decoy for 2/3rds of the season...

I don't want to know why or how, OK.

We have wasted Bowe's career on shit QBs. End of story. He'd bounce back if we didn't have Captain Checkdown back there constantly slinging shit.

Neither Reid nor Alex Smith is the kind of coach/player that would not use whatever talent they had. Bowe didn't get separation with any consistency. He also didn't win the battle for the ball against the CBs. Bowe got open against the Colts and he got the ball. If Bowe gets open this year then he will get plenty of targets. If you want to say that Bowe is a bad match for Reid/Smith then fine. But the rest is bullshit.
