Chiefs News Etc 8/16/12

(In accordance with daface's mega thread thread, here's a "Chiefs News Today" thread.)

I listened to the local WHB broadcast this morning. They had Chris Carter & Jeff Chadiha on discussing the D Bo situation.

Carter said he's worked with Bowe each of the last 3 off seasons and he feels that if Bowe kept himself in shape, he could have a breakout season and "become an elite player, he is close, he just needs to raise his level of play to that next level". Carter went on to say he thinks Bowe feels he has been slighted perhaps, and will likely have a bumpy beginning to the season due to not knowing the playbook. Carter feels Bowe is "very coachable and has grown out of his immaturity", but this experience could break his spirit to play for the Chiefs in the future.

Carter was asked who wins the division, he picked Denver.

Jeff Chadiha is writing a book on WR's with Cris Carter, their comments on the scope of this book were interesting. Chadiha spent time discussing Bowe's contributions to the Chiefs and said the team has little chance of winning the division without Bowe, Carter paraphrased as well. Basically said what most of us here say -- having Bowe and the supporting cast will be "scary to other teams when those guys get off the bus" said Cris Carter.

There was a segment on Anthony Pleasant and his view of Glenn Dorsey. Pleasant said Dorsey is the leader of the DL and he likes how he is playing, yada yada, didn't really amount to a lot more than coach speak, but the "leader" comment was interesting I guess.

Chiefs TC breaks today. That is all I have right now. Maybe someone else can fill in other details, etc.

Thanks for the news!!

Either Bowe has grown up OR he’s “hurt” by the Chiefs dealing with this like a business should. It can’t be both.

Hmmm. Somewhat like the thought of a daily thread.

Agreed. Seemed like Carter was in Bowe's corner, though I do think he was trying to help the situation saying Bowe isn't an elite player but could become one soon.

When asked what he would do for a contract, Carter paused, moaned and said "this is not my phone breaking up, it's me on pause". So, maybe this will help Bowe get his ass in the building.

I really don't like Jeff Chadiha. He has written recent articles about how bad KC will be without Bowe. Chris Carter coaches Bowe at times. It just seems like they have a dog in this fight. Jeff Chadiha is probably on Bowe's agents payroll.

It's pretty weird. Every other writer is talking about what an idiot Bowe is.

Can you start the one tomorrow then. There's only a few weeks left before regular season and threads will be more daily format.

What is stupid? My post or Jeff Chadiha? Check it out for yourself. Read Bill Williamson's (covers AFC West for ESPN) articles and then read Jeff Chadiha's.

Cool. I like the idea of a "daily" thread, but I certainly appreciate that they take a bit of work. Regardless, thanks for the thread.

I don't necessarily think the team will be "bad" without Bowe - we have plenty of other talent on the team this year that will keep us competitive. However, given our known weakness at QB, I think we'd find it pretty tough to be a "good" team without him. We need all the WR help we can get so that teams have to focus on covering everyone well rather than just sitting on Cassel's #1 target.

I want to start the thread the day of the Superbowl this year. I think that will be awesome.

When the economy gets this tight, everybody is agenda driven, particularly journalists. Chadiha seems to come from the player's side of things most of the time. He's in the minority there, imo. He's also a very respected journalist. I don't always agree with him, but I enjoy his angles.
