Concur.
This guy is the real deal. His worth ethic exemplifies how a professional should carry himself. Also, good work ethic tends to rub off on other players. I think his leadership skills will also reflect what kind of team this will be. A winner will always help to elevate the players skills around him. Bank on a championship before the end of his contract.
Put this in your pipe and smoke it:
1. Chiefs will be at least 8-8 and vie for division champs
2. DJ will break out and finally have his year
3. LJ returns to form
4. DBowe drops will reduce

Good Work PA....
….6 years of (hopefully) stable QB play? Why what is a Chiefs fan to do?
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Matt may not be the most gifted QB...
but I think he has it together between the ears and to play QB in the NFL at a high level you HAVE to have it together mentally.
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
thats crazy 2014
I hope we have flying cars by then geesh. When i was in 3rd grade there was no doubt in my my mind when i graduated high school in 2000 i would be driving away in a flying car and have nike space boots that zip them selfs up.

One thing I like about him is this
He has been in the League a few years, however, he has been rarely used up until the start of last year. He has fresh legs similar to Trent Green coming in here from St Louis, and has been “brought up” with a winning way in NE as many of you have pointed out.
"But what do I know, I'm AP's new assclown and I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
Legs
Speaking of his legs, his footwork when in the pocket always reminded me of Tom Brady and Trent Greens. Although I guess it could be that way for all QBs.
"Larry Fitzgerald, move over because there's another young gun, and his name is Dwayne Bowe from Kansas City" - 2009 Cris Carter Hall of Fame WR
In Pioli We Trust! Right?
lets just hope he dont run like trent green
everytime that guy scrambled my the crap in my stomach would begin to pour out haha thats pretty gross but its true . he looked like woody from toystory out there scrambling with his wooden legs

This is so smart
If he was a first round QB we would be paying him even more….uh be right back. My boss just offered me a piece of chocolate ocvered apple.

mmm this shit is good
anyway. We all want hinm to turn out to be the franchise guy. If he isn’t, the Chiefs lose some money. if he is, we have him locked up until I am 31.

Well choco-covered apple beats my usual foot in the ass I get from my boss. Never work for your father.

its going to work im so pumped yes finally a young strapping lad
under center
this is what we have been craving for years . I think at this point he is going to give us the best chance to win . Plus i see this move as one of the biggest moves in chiefs history. And maybe even the cornerstone of bringing a super bowl to kc this is our first defining piece no doubt

Does this contract agreement....
Make anyone else ever more excited about this year? LJ is the only other guy to get huge money from us in recent history, they must be really confident to give him that money without really seeing how he does in our system, minus the OTA’s b/c thats the only time they really saw him with us. C’mon sept, get here!!!!!
