Once Again, Cris Carter Picks Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe As His Breakout Player

by Joel Thorman on Sep 12, 2010 12:03 PM CDT in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Season

ESPN analysts were running down their predictions for the 2010 breakout player of the year on Sunday morning and when it came to Cris Carter he not-so-surprisingly picked Kansas City Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe.

Carter worked up at Larry Fitzgerald's camp while Bowe was there and indicated earlier in the summer that he had been talking to the Chiefs about working with Bowe.

"People in Denver wonder where Brandon Marshall came from," Carter began on Sunday morning. "The next breakout wide receiver in the National Football League is Dwayne Bowe with the Kansas City Chiefs. He has the body, the size, he's taken the conditiong more serious, he's at the perfect weight and he had a great offseason. Look for big things from Bowe."

There's something about Carter's words and his predictions of a big season for Bowe that sounds familiar.

Oh. That's right. Carter said nearly the exact same thing about Bowe while selecting him as his 2009 breakout player.

Carter on July 1, 2009: "Larry Fitzgerald, move over because there's another young gun. And his name is Dwayne Bowe from Kansas City."

We'll see if he's right this time around.

he worked hard with fitz, we will see how that pays off

but I am still sitting here in a daze because I am waiting to hear mccluster will be available or mccluster is healthy or mccluster is good to go…

I didnt get a good night of sleep with the idea of jeremy horne manning the slot

I hope so, I just really really dont like the odds of a doubtful player being able to play...a lot of times doubtful is basically out.

but I know, im hoping decoy

I just dont want to get my hopes up

if KC was smart, it would be LESS about tricking SD, and more about……OK…say its packed at arrowhead monday night(as it will be)…and the crowd doesnt know if mccluster will play, they just saw the “surprise” and are pumped, well whats a better way to REALLY get the crowd going than to have mccluster the “sick” guy, come in and line up to take the opening kickoff back with arenas, or the first punt….

would ignite that stadium…but…even as the optomist…I worry he may have something like a tonsil problem or something because out 3-4 days…I had my appendix out and was on my feet going in 2 days

I think the smokescreen is just happy coincidence, myself.

I think they could easily list him as doubtful, based on his state of health when injury reports were due.

Orton looks pretty sharp, and his receivers are making the grabs.

I usually root for Jax, because I like Del Rio (I basically like LB-to-coach) and I like Jones-Drew.

I don’t think Denver’s running game is all that, but Orton’s really good at standing and delivering. Getting to him before he can get the ball out is tough.

Probably switch over to the Chokeland game here, for a bit.

Maybe not. Looks like the Titans have them well in hand.

Last year, Carter made the prediction based on Bowe's obvious toolkit.

But he expected Bowe to have a good offseason and come in ready to go in ’09. This year, he KNOWS Bowe had a good offseason, and came into camp sharp and in shape.
