Dorsey and Bowe struggling in KC

I still don't understand why a team moving to a 3-4 would draft Dorsey

They drafted Dorsey under the previous coaching staff that ran a 4-3. This is the reason they drafted Tyson Jackson, because he is a five hole DE. Dorsey will be traded to a team that runs a 4-3. He is too small to play nose and to big for DE. As for Bowe, the coach must be trying to motivate him, because the Chiefs receiving corps sucks without Bowe.

actually he's not too big for DE. he's just not athletic enough and/or tall enough

I wouldn't call Bowe overrated, he had a good year(over 1100 yards?) with a multitude of different subpar quarterbacks

They both were a tad overrated.

I don't understand how you could say this about Bowe. He's, at worst, been the second most productive receiver to come out of the 2006 draft behind Calvin Johnson (top 5 pick).

Bowe:

156 rec. 2017 yds 12 TDs

Johnson:

126 rec. 2087 yds 16 TDs

Other notables:

Steve Smith:

65 rec. 637 yds 1 TD

Anthony Gonzales:

94 rec. 1240 yds. 7 TDs

Steve Breaston:

85 rec. 1098 yds. 3 TDs

Bowe will be fine

exactly. he is a terrible fit in a 3-4. He's a classic 4-3 DT.

Dorsey? yes

Bowe? not at all. averaging 1000 yards and 6tds over your first 2 years with terrible QBs is pretty impressive.

The Saints will take them both!

Dorsey is obviously not a great fit for the 3-4 defense, but his contract kind of makes him untradeable. And he had a decent season. KC should think of these things before making decisions about their defense. No reason to hammer a square peg into a circle.

And underrated would be the last word I would use to describe Dwayne Bowe.
