Todd Haley Is The Best Thing to Ever Happen To Dwayne Bowe

When Scott Pioli hired Todd Haley to be the next coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, the happiest man in the Chiefs' locker room was Dwayne Bowe.

We all saw what Larry Fitzgerald did over the regular season and postseason. A lot of Fitzgerald’s performance can be directly linked to the teachings and play-calling of Todd Haley.

Over his coaching career, Todd Haley has helped wide receivers accumulate superstar stats.

While working with the New York Jets from 1995-2000, he helped Keyshawn Johnson have the best two seasons of his career in 1997 and 1998.

In 2001, he helped Marty Booker have the best season of his career when he was with the Chicago Bears. That season, Marty had 100 receptions for 1,071 yards and eight touchdowns.

And we all know what he did for Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, and Steve Breaston when he was with the Cardinals. They all had over 1,000 yards receiving as they caused problems for every defense in the league.

Dwayne Bowe has a lot of talent, as he had a break-out year last season, catching 86 balls for 1,022 yards and seven touchdowns. Now those are some pretty good stats. I’m surprised that nobody has been talking about him.

Additionally, Bowe is only in his second year in the league. In his rookie season, he had 70 receptions for 995 yards and five touchdowns.

If the Chiefs can improve their defense and allow more opportunities for their offense to be on the field, Bowe is going to be spectacular.

Another point to consider is Tony Gonzalez. If Gonzalez is traded, that will make Bowe the primary weapon for whoever is under center.

I believe that under Todd Haley he will improve his stats even more. Don’t be surprised if Bowe cracks the top five in the league in receptions, receiving touchdowns, or receiving yards.
