let’s hope management doesn’t screw this up like the Jared Allen situation

I havent seen anyone blame Haley for this. What I have seen is jackasses say that I am blaming Haley by saying he should revise that number he keeps bragging about to remove Bowe’s weight loss from the total.

THere is no secret Haley asks a lot from his players. Bowe chose to take the easy route to getting where he needed to be. The easy route, but a route that could come with some consequenses. And it did.

Harping on a Coach because he demands that his players, professional athletes, be in shape when they show up for training camp is asonine. Sure, there have been some moments to dog on Haley, but he’s not the guy that showed up to camp 30 lbs. overweight. That was Bowe’s problem, he took a shortcut to get into shape, which is probably indicative of his first two years in KC, taking shortcuts, like probably not working on being a better pass catcher, he got caught, and now he’s going to deal with it. It’s unfortunate, yes, but the big thing here is that a lesson has been taught, and one can only hope that the Chiefs use these next four games to grow as a team, improve and steal a game or two during the stretch.

And still took it. Haley didn’t force anything down Dwayne’s throat. Bowe couldn’t handle weight loss in the proper manner, and took a shortcut that cost him. His own fault, and nobody elses.

How many other players on the team lost just as much weight as Bowe, if not more, without having to resort to using diuretics or other diet pills? Especially banned substances? I see a work ethic problem here. I hope Bowe didn’t fall out of the “right 53” with this, as he’s a very talented receiver. He just needs a fire lit under his ass.

the next four weeks with the jugs machine!!!

disclipined life and I would guess that football, his team-mates and fans really do mean everything to him. It’s his life. Haley was right in requiring the team to get in shape and now they all know it. Hopefully, this is just another thing, a type of team discipline that will impact everyone. There is no easy way to be the best and this will be a great lesson for Bowe and he’ll be better for it. I really believe that in the long run, this will be a positive and I’d almost bet that 3-5 years from now, the Chief’s will be big winners and that Bowe will be a star and one of Haley’s biggest fans.

Surely he has control over a player’s decision to spend the off season watching t.v. stuffing his face with chilli dogs & fried twinkies. Bowe knew before he ever got to camp that he wasn’t close to his playing weight.

but also blame him for doing the SAME THING to LARRY FITZGERALD….a MUCH better reciever at the time, and currently…Ftz was able to get it done with a strong offseason workout routine/eating right…Oh and then he only improved and had one of his best seasons leading his team to the super bowl with outstanding play in the playoffs..so….you know what, I want players that can handle it, they are sure paid enough….if you look at weight lost, dorsey, these players….haley said they were eating too much jumbalaya, now I see another player he was talking about(LSU)

of course I support Bowe, but this just in no way is todd haley’s fault…thats the same as saying, well bowe got hurt running a post, todd had him running better routes, trying to make them crisp and his knee buckled, HIS FAULT? no. In this case, it wasnt even a knee, he did this under his own free will…Period

D-Bowe was not motivated enough in the off season to stay in shape and work on his game. Came in over weight and had to go through Haley weight loss sessions. There was a BUNCH of guys in the doghouse for showing up fat. Haley was not even letting them practice until they made weight. Bowe decided to cheat. Plain and simple.
 
D-Bowe looks no better this yr than last yr. He will never be an elite reciever in this league until he learns to catch the ball.Great recievers work during the offseason to improve whether its a technique issue or a mental issue. I think D Bowe is more interested in the lifestyle of being a pro FB player than actually being the best. Jerry Rice, the best of all time, worked his ass of during the off season to improve even though everyone knew he was the best. And you can bet that he never showed up to camp overweight.

Hopefully, this hits him hard. A little shame and embarrassment could light a fire under his ass and make him want to change. He is very gifted, he just needs polish.

 i said other post haley/chiefs will need to post legal drugs for team

who blame Haley are just LOOKING for things they can blame on Haley.

Yes, Haley wanted Dbowe to lose weight. Did he want DBowe to lose weight for no reason? NO! DBowe needed to lose the damn weight!

Did Haley tell Bowe to take an illegal substance to lose weight? NO! Bowe could have spent extra time conditioning, could have sent extra time on the bike or treadmill after practice, changed up his diet, sat in a sauna..there are a million things that Bowe COULD have done had he been willing to sacrifice his oh so precious free time.

Now, DBowe was my favorite player. He still is 1 of my favorite players. But now Flowers has moved up to my favorite. DBowe might not be on steroids, but like someone else pointed out, he tried to take a shortcut. Shortcuts get you nowhere in the NFL and I cant respect someone 100% knowing they tried to take an illegal shortcut. I think of it like a Nascar driver speeding through pit lane like it was a short cut. Cant do that.

I still respect Bowe..its not like he was using a steroid. I respect Bowe because he owned up to his mistake, is not appealing it because he knows hes wrong, and had the right intention..just not the right mindset. He wanted to lose weight to help his team. I respect that, but I dont respect the route he took to do so.

I dont think this will follow him..it wasnt a steroid..its HARDLY “performance enhancing”. I just hope he learns from this, works hard, and has a good comeback in 4 weeks.
