Peter King: Chiefs distancing themselves from Piioli regime
Ummm....Has King ever watched a Chiefs game? Bowe has never been a deep threat. He excels in crossing routes and using his size and strength to break tackes for long gains.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nfl.../?sct=uk_wr_a2 The Kansas City Chiefs, in the span of one week, have distanced themselves about as far from the Scott ***** regime as possible. It'll take a while to find out, but the race is on to see if the commitments coach Andy Reid and GM John Dorsey made to three players will pay off in the form of a more competitive Chiefs team. The Chiefs have a deal in principle for San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith; that could have happened under ***** as well, but it's thought he was going to spend a second-round pick on one of the rookie quarterbacks in the class of 2013. The team made an $11-million-a-year commitment to wide receiver Dwayne Bowe in the form of a new five-year contract Monday. Those close to the Chiefs think ***** may have franchised Bowe, but never committed that kind of money to the occasionally unreliable receiver. ***** might have franchised left tackle Brandon Albert, but it's also very possible he would have let Albert walk and drafted a left tackle like Luke Joeckel with the first pick in the draft. Bowe has been an electrifying receiver, and he could be the deep threat Reid loved in DeSean Jackson in Philadelphia. But will Smith -- whose throwing arm is just average, and who will be used more as an intermediate thrower than deep -- be able to use Bowe's playmaking ability downfield? I've never been in the camp of those who think Smith can't throw a strong 35-yard go route; it's simply that the deep balls are not his strength. But Smith in 2011 and '12 under Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman proved there's more than one way to play quarterback. His average yards per attempt was 8.0 in 2012, significantly higher than renowned deep-ball throwers like Ben Roethlisberger (7.3), Joe Flacco (7.2), Jay Cutler (7.0) and Matthew Stafford (6.8). I think there's a good chance ***** would have investigated Smith and quite possibly would have dealt for him. The personality profile, passing efficiency and age (28) would have appealed to *****. But Smith, Bowe and Albert, in tandem, would probably not have happened under the old regime, and certainly not the big contract for Bowe. There will be an interesting chemistry experiment in Kansas City this season. |

Now they both work in broadcasting, but the difference is that Pioli has never been right about the QB position in his life. This guy is such a ****ing tool it's infuriating. Seriously look at every move he made in 2009 and tell me a single one that was good. |

Considering that Pioli also didn't sign Kyle Orton last year because he was getting paid more than he feels a backup should make by the Cowboys, it's fair to say that he thinks Colquitt and Bowe both got overpaid...

Imagine how good Bowe might have been if Pioli had given him an actual NFL quarterback............

He put up solid numbers with a group of pissants throwing him the ball. Would love to have ssen what he could have been with a Brady/Brees/Rodgers guy throwing to him.

What that stat tells you is he makes the most out of his attempts. So you have a guy who throws it less than those other guys so he throws it deep less than those other guys but magically he gets more yards out of each attempt. Its likely due to completion % and YAC. |

1. Dwayne Bowe is not a deep threat. 2. Alex Smith does not throw the ball deep. 3. His YPA being high means jack. If Peter King simply read one PFF article he would be more informed. Quote:

King usually writes pretty well, but he doesn't seem to understand Bowe's game at all. Not every receiver with a big body plays like Randy Moss.

He's embarrassing, and he wrote this so he can set up an "I told you so" column if the Chiefs have a losing record this year without Pioli. I can see it now. "Without Pioli, big signings don't pay off for Chiefs."

Who gives a shit? It has zero relevance to any discussions about Alex Smith. He's inferior to both of them.
