Dwayne Bowe on the trading block

I'm going with that

How many healthy 25 year olds go from averaging 1,000 yards a season to sucking?

I reckon it's a much shorter list than crappy teams with ego trip organizations who ship out great players

I'm going with that too. He was known to be cocky, cut the O Coordinator right before the season and let Gonzo go (don't think that was really avoidable though). Seems like his m.o.

But you never know. They say Thigpen was basically playing street ball at the end of last year. Maybe Bowe's success came from that more than knowing plays and running good routes. I haven't seen him all that much so maybe a KC fan can say for sure.

You'd still think a better plan would be to model the offense around what he can do.

I think a big portion of his success came from having Tony Gonzalez on the field.

Now that said I do think he's a pretty good WR and I don't understand why the Chiefs would want to trade him, but until he's played a full season without Tony to take the defense off of him I'm still somewhat skeptical. The good part is that he seemed to have improved his hands in the off-season because he was bad about dropping balls last year.

... What a dumb damn move.

Some NFL front office person was quoted as saying Haley is so arrogant that he think's he'll be the 5th face on Mount Rushmore.

Apparently he isn't too well thought of around the league.

I say either the Lions, Jets, or Ravens will make a strong push to acquire him.

hmm, perhaps the argument he had with Boldin on the sidelines in last years playoff's should have forewarned us all.
