Bowe on Alex Smith
 

Kind of an interesting piece from Bowe when asked about Alex Smith. From a Teicher article in the Star...

At least he was honest.

Kind of a stupid ****ing question to ask him considering it will be 1 1/2 months before they can even practice together.

Subtle dig at Casshole.

Hardly a ringing endorsement, is it?

If we had acquired Rodgers or Brees, Bowe would be jumping out of his skin to tall everyone how fantastic it was.

Is this Teicher article legit?

That's exactly what I'd want my star WR to saw when asked that question.

Pioli would've had him flayed alive for not speaking highly of Cassel

That last line was telling! ROFL

“It’s another quarterback. My job is to catch the ball no matter who’s throwing it. Now I have somebody that actually has a name for himself, has proved himself. I’m sure that will make it easier, but like I said, I haven’t caught a pass from him yet.’’

Over reaction planet

i kind of took it as he is not willing to call Alex Smith a great player yet. If the media wants to, fine. But Bowe is not going to until he has been on the field with him.

Not a ringing endorsement IMO.

Irony planet.

Geno planet

Agreed. I wonder who he would like more throwing him footballs Alex or Geno?

He has yet to have a real QB throw him the ball. The first time he catches the ball in stride he will have a "WTF?!" moment.

Ya he'll drop the first pass and say "Oh thats what a pass in stride is!"

Sounds like he's being perfectly upbeat, yet pragmatic... heres a guy who's proven a few things, cant wait to help prove it with him.

Bowe haters, they're a hard group to convice, yet all he ever does is talk right in public and act right on the team... he's just a unique kid, glad i've been able to watch him grow and mature with us.

They could start playing catch today... but didn't if I understood Reid correctely on Total Access. They will tomorrow the way it sounded.

Should be the name of a new Jaguars forum. I will squat on the domain.

Yep. I don't see anything wrong with it. He is just saying, prove it to me HERE, in KC. Then ask me.

I thought they were just allowed to use facilities. But scheduled practices aren't until. May.

I'm pretty sure if they wanted to throw the ball around they could.

Bowe caught 15 TDs from Cassel in one season. As much as we hate Cassel I'm saying Bowe probably doesn't. He's not going to throw him under the bus. Has Bowe matured a little more?

From the way Reid sounded, they went through the philosophies and some of the things in the playbook today for the guys to study tonight. Sounds like tomorrow they are going tp be able to transfer some of that to the field. Running the pass plays and so forth with no defense type things.

It should be re-played on Total Access which starts in about 20 minutes.

Ya that's why you got the Teddy avitar

Thats why i couldnt believe the previous regime? Bowe was a team player, never spoke out. Played the good foot soldier. Thank god we got a new regime who will take care of players. You can treat players like shit if you got Brady. Just wait til he retires the Pats will be a joke

That's what it sounds like to me. He's being careful not to bad mouth the guys who came before while expressing optimism about the future, IMO. I think it was a pretty solid answer.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Bowe was not referring to catching passes in a game of catch in the back yard.

I took it completely different than everyone else, apparently. I thought he was trying to not throw Cassel (or any of the other Chiefs QBs throwing him the ball the past several years) under the bus.

Once he develops a chemistry with Smith (which ever one) he can sing their praises all he wants. The fact of the matter is that he hasn't caught ball one from Smith (either one). It seemed like he was being the perfect team player by not disrespecting past QBs while at the same time acknowledging that Alex Smith does come with a pedigree of sorts.

WTF?


Why does everyone think he's immature or a diva? How ****ing stupid.

I wish I couldve watched this past regimes OTAs and this regimes OTAs to compare. Im sure it will be night and day and someone will say it

Because he's black and has cornrows

LOL just kidding. Probably because of his stupid shit he does in games. But thats Bowe being Bowe

Overreact much? Just seemed like Bowe was a little more thoughtful with his answers. :shrug:

Good, solid answer Mr. Bowe.

I've always liked Bowe. Good players, good person. Very personable and nice.

He sure sounds thrilled...

Meh. Pioli re-signed Charles, DJ, Hali, and Flowers. Let's not get carried away just because the new regime re-signed Bowe and Colquitt.

What stupid shit?

:spock:

The pointing to the back of jersey when were blown out. Not that i really care I dont. Thats just what some have bitched about.

Sounds like a 4 Star General discussing taking orders from the President.

He'll drop it like the other passes that were randomly thrown on target.

There's going to be an adjustment period. LMAO

well that's not coming from Alex Smith so you better hope Chase Daniels sees the field or Geno Smith is drafted

Alex Smith did fine the past 2 years with Harbaugh. Im sure Reid's system will be a good fit for Smith.

Huh, is there a secret QB on this roster we don't know about?

Alex will be ok until we get our long term answer

Yea our long term answer will come in less than a month. His name is Geno Smith. He will be the long term answer.

Nothing says TOTAL FAIL like seeing the list of Chiefs QB's.

Not just today's, but for nearly 10 years too.

Really? He's made a name for himself?

Giant bust?
Injury prone?
Captain Checkdown?
Sack taker?


The name certainly doesn't contain the word "Elite".

If I were Bowe, I'd be pissed they brought in yet another castoff.

This is kind of how I took it. I don't think Bowe is over exited if that is what the media was trying to get at. Just another quarterback now give the D Bowe Show the damn ball.

What the heck is he suppose to say? Damn media!

The more passes he throws my way, the more I like him.
