No-I-in-team Randy is getting a lot of buzz up in New England. Same thing with Megtron in Motown. But what about Dwayne Bowe and “The D-Bo Show” in Kansas City? With apologies to Mr. Johnson and Mr. Moss, no receiver acquired during last offseason has had a bigger impact on his team than Bowe.
The New England Patriots have been dominant for five-six years now. Up to this point, Randy Moss has just been the difference between winning games and blowing teams out. Would the Patriots not still be 4-0 without Moss? I honestly believe that Belichick’s crew would still be undefeated without its star receiver.
Then there’s Calvin Johnson, who wasn’t even needed yesterday for his Detroit Lions to upset the Chicago Bears.
Am I saying that Bowe is a better player than either of those guys right now? No, even though I think he’s shown that he at least belongs in the same class as Johnson — head and shoulders above the other rookie receivers.
What I am saying is that Bowe is the biggest reason the Kansas City Chiefs are 2-2 and tied for first place in the AFC West. Without him we’d be 0-4 and in last place. As good as Derrick Johnson and Jared Allen have been the last two games — and they’ve been unreal — you have to score in order to win. Bowe has three of our four offensive touchdowns on the season, and has made opposing secondaries look about as bad as Osi Umenyiora made Winston Justice look last night.
You think Cam Cameron, Randy Mueller and the Miami Dolphins are kicking themselves right now for taking Ted Ginn Jr. over Bowe? Are there any Chiefs fans still bitching about how we could’ve drafted Brady Quinn or Tony Ugoh? The critics are starting to sound more like crickets now. You can hardly hear them.
At this point we should just be pinching ourselves and making sure this is real. It’s like a Christmas present a kid finally got after years, and years, and years of asking. King Carl and Co. finally wrapped up a nice little No. 1 receiver for Chiefs fans. This present wasn’t wrapped up by a nice, big bow either — it was a nice, big Bowe.
Bowe is already our No. 1 receiver, too, Herm Edwards has made that much clear. Eddie Kennison will start opposite Bowe, while Samie Parker will head back to the bench (thank God). Contrary to a few of the comments I’ve read, it will mostly be Bowe making Kennison’s job easier, not vice versa. Still, having Kennison out there will make it that much harder for opposing defenses to key on Bowe.
Let’s not pretend that Damon Huard is making Bowe that much better either. In fact, Bowe might be the only reason Huard still has his starting gig. From where I’m watching, it’s Bowe who’s improving significantly from week to week, no matter who he’s faced or where, not Huard. Huard has simply been able to get the ball to Bowe’s vacinity, that is when he’s grown the balls to sit tight in the pocket and strike. It usually takes him a half of football to do so.
Back to Bowe; he’s already ranked in the NFL’s top 25 for receiving touchdowns, receiving yards and 20-plus yard receptions, despite only compiling five catches for 64 yards during the first two games. With two home games on the docket — one of those is against the Bengals’ piss-poor defense, by the way — is there any reason to think he’ll slow down any time soon?
All of you who still remain non-believers — stop being skeptical. Instead of saying it has only been four games, say it has only been four games and he’s already dominating. The D-Bo Show is here to stay, folks — get your tickets while you still can.

Redbeard should love this write up.
I think Adam might have made that clear with the Tony Ugoh shot. WE LOVE YOU BEARD!
Check out what the Talented Mr. Roto wrote about D-Bo today…
moss has had a bigger impact on his team… unless you count bowes addition and the lack of a o-line to block for LJ… to me and we cant say honestly we would rather have bowe than moss.
the reason we have had two wins is because for some unseen reason and with an unseen force… the O-line seems to give Huard time to throw…
and I hope people would realise that I think Jared shouldnt have been called a drunk and needs to proove himself …oh wait he did proove himself and will more than likely cost us alot more to keep him here this next year… wait maybe we can have our def. tackle/ def. end pick take over for him next year…. and as for bowe he is a number two reciever…this doesnt mean he is worse people… over the years number one and number two has somehow switched into is a guy a good or bad reciever… this isnt the case… the number one is the burner, plain and simple…. bowe is more the possesion reciever alah the number two wideout. and yes we need him but where is our money being spent on LJ and his sub par year… according to alot of writers, earlier in the year we needed to sign lj because his years of availability are dwindling… hahahahaha well here is another year… waisted of LJ… and if people could see we now have zero tackles… and a center who will most likly retire next year… and a guard in watters who wont last that much longer…. and in wellbourne who isnt a spring chicken… * so yes I say we still should have drafted a tackle this year and last.* for the good of this team long term that is what they needed to do.PERIOD….
Honestly, it is easier to find a good tackle than it is to find a WR like D-B0. When it's all said in done I'm confident he'll be one of the top ten WRs in the league. He's that good.
And the No. 1 WR is your go-to receiver, regardless of if he plays X, Y, Z, flanker, split end, etc… No. 1 is a media term for a team's best WR. Bowe is already our best receiver. I call him our number one, because he's going to lead our receivers in targets, snaps, receptions, etc.
Jerry Rice was by no means a "burner" and he is the greatest WR of all-time.
Moss would be horrible on the Chiefs. Here is why:
1. He would have Huard throwing to him not Tom Brady.
2. Chiefs are 2-2 and not 4-0. Once Moss is on a .500 team he quits.
I really think the Patriots was the only place Moss was going to suceed. Without Moss I still believe the Patriots would be 4-0 and the Chiefs without Bowe could be as bad as 0-4. So I think that is what Adam is saying when he says who is more important to their team.
Redbeard just admit that you hate the guy
oh and I think you already beat that horse to death. We know what we have so no need to use wishful thinking. Lets talk about the guys we have…
you are wrong redbeard. the #1 receiver is not a burner by any means, it is just simply the best wide receiver on your team. just like bowe is. bowe is better than any tackle in the draft save thomas, and he was WELL gone by the team we picked, and it would have been a reach to take ugoh. its crazy IMO to still wish we drafted someone else…
RICE WASNT A NUMBER ONE… EVEN THOUGH HE WAS THE BEST RECIEVER… (BY THE WAY HE MADE MONTANA, HAHA JOE SUCKED )
LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHINGWE HAD CARSON AND PAGE, WERE THEY BOTH NUMBER ONE OR BOTH NUMBER TWO… SEE WHAT I MEAN…THE MEDIA AND SPROTS WRITERS HAVE OVER THE YEARS ACTUALLY CHANGED THE MEANINGS PEOPLE USE TODAY… IF YOUR BEST RECIEVER IS YOUR FLANKER THEN HE IS STILL YOUR NUMBER TWO!
LONG TERM WE NEED A TACKLE AND A GUARD AND A CENTER… AND THEN WE HAD TO… HAHAHAHA , I SEE NO DIFFERENCE IN MY SAYING WE NEED TO DRAFT A LINEMAN FOR THE LAST TWO OR EVEN THREE YEARS, WHEN I SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE SAYING AND LOOKING TO GRAB A VETERAN CORNER FORM ATLANTA… OR GRABBING THIS OR THAT DEFF. TACKLE….
, AND YES i AM CORRECT IN SAYING HE IS OUR NUMBER TWO EVEN IF HE IS OUR BEST RECIEVER AND I DONT HATE HIM, BUT HE HAS COST THIS TEAM AND LJ … SO ADMITT IT I AM RIGHT … 
AND AS FOR MY WANTING TO HOLD GRUDGES YES I STILL WANT THE CHIEFS TO GO BACK AND DRAFT MARINO INSTEAD OF BLACKLEDGE,… HAHAHAHAHA
In addition to Rice being slow so were Chris Carter and Steve Largent. All of these had extremely good hands, which brings up D-Bo's cousin Sippio. He is still listed on the depth chart and likely knows the play book by now. Hopefully we will see him playing opposite D-Bo soon. Prior to the last game they prayed together in the end zone. BTW, it was D-Bo's mother who called and told him Sippio was his cousin.
