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 anybody could really be pimping Bowe honestly after his season last year. It's not like him disappearing for halves or games at a time is anything new, it just really started showing in his numbers last season.
I think he's getting white knighted only for the obvious reason, that his shortcomings can supposedly be blamed on Alex Smith, so of course Bowe walks on water. |

Smith wouldnt even look at him for halves at a time. No ****ing shit it finally showed up. Your biggest, most physical, most talented WR without a single target in an entire half? ****ing pathetic.

No one who has missed four games in season and still managed to lead the league in drops should have ever been put on a pedestal. Chiefs fans never should have crowned the guy in the first place.

He wasn't open. Smith will not throw the ball to covered receivers because he is good. If he gets open, he'll get the ball. Quit crying about it for ****s sake.

How did this thread become about whether or not Bowe sucks? The important thing to remember here is...
Teicher sucks. |

Caught the ball in practice? He's been catching the ball in games his whole entire ****ing career from QBs like Cassel, Huard, Thigpen, Croyle, Orton, and Quinn.

There is nothing that can be said on CP to make anything Bowe's responsibility. NOTHING Reid didn't feature Bowe right Smith didn't throw the ball right Reid didn't call Bowe's number enough Smith didn't trust Bowe enough If Smith tries to trust Bowe and it's intercepted then Smith shouldn't have trusted Bowe on that particularly play Any drop is either the QB's fault or 'drops happen to everyone' If Bowe doesn't run the correct route then it doesn't matter the QB sucks anyway. Bowe has never done anything wrong in his life ... ever/CP

I'd fully expect all the WR's, Charles, and Smith to take hits behind this $3it O line. Smith bashers will claim they're right despite the fact we'll likely have a worse offensive line than almost every team we play this year...

Bowe will be Bowe. Amazing during some stretches. Houdini the vanishing AIDS patient during other stretches.
