Vicious circle, ain't it?

it's a convenient trap, yes....

Some people are married to the idea that croyle is this young stud that we won't go with. This isn't a 6'6 250 stud drafted in the first round. This is a guy with bad knees, bad mobility, and a worse haircut.

And now, having not even played one regular season game, the Croyle experiment is over. KCJohnny was here last night telling us that Terrell is our best QB and that Croyle is our 4th best.

Fans peeing themselves everywhere. Flooding Carl's voicemail with frantic cries for Huard and 9-7..."Please, Carl!! Huard...9-7...save us!."

Carl understands that in the deepest part of Chief Fan's heart there is a mortal fear of risk, of the unknown. We don't really deserve our own QB, that's something other Franchises get.

So adios Brodie. You had more than enough time in your 50 preseason snaps for us to pass judgment on you and find you wanting. But take heart! You got 49 more snaps more than any other "QBOTF" in Chiefs history.

And now we will wait until we have a great OL...whenever the **** that is. And then, with a great OL we will draft another QB - but only if we have great WRs!...we must have a great OL and great WRs. And in the meantime we have Huard. Next year we can sign another Vet backup QB a la Grbac, a la Green, a la Gannon, a la Huard. They will pacify us with the warm and familiar 9-7 until the perfect moment - that moment when everyone is great and talented and healthy, and that moment will be........

Wow! that was brilliant! Outstanding....

Nobody runs for his life better than Casey Printers. It's a shame this dude fumbles so much. KC's garbage offensive line is not going to do Huard's wagon wheels any good. Brodie Croyle is obviously not ready to win football games... his receivers dont help him much either. I think all 3 of these guys will lead KC to a losing record. I was pulling for Croyle.. and Huard is probably best choice.. but I wanna see Printers.

I'm done fighting about it, but your analysis is flawed.

You wouldn't be wondering HOW MANY blondes are airheads if you hadn't already MADE THE ASSUMPTION that at least SOME are.

There is NO WAY to wonder how many Chiefs fans aren't smart enough and simultaneously say that NO fans aren't smart enough.

It's come down to Herm and Carl. Herm is gonna want to start Croyle and take the losses and bumps and bruises and Carl knows that Huard will be more fit to win more games. I don't think Carl would sacrifice having a 5 or less win season just to break in a QB. He's never done that and I don't think it will change. It will be a matter of time before Carl puts his foot down and demand Huard being the starter considering what he did last season.

One he did scramble for his life, did a circus twist and then wung it down the field to that invisible WR.

On his first INT against Cleveland he wasn't touched because he made a hell of a move to get away from pressure.

Don't be disingenuous here.

besides ..... while his interceptions are a problem, they aren't THE problem.

he's young ... he'll make some mistakes

the problem is the complete lack of effectiveness of the offense and whether it will hurt Croyle's development.

First off, Croyle looks pretty mobile to me. Not like Vick mobile, but he's pretty nimble. He eludes pretty well, and can throw on the run.

Second, I counted about 5 dropped passes and three throwaways. I'm talkin'-hit the guy in the hands and he dropped it-type drops. That makes the stat line ugly, but it's not like he was a wildly inaccurate 5 of 17. He should've been more like 10 of 17. And three out of bounds throws.

just sayin.

I tend to agree with you on this one...

and i guess my point is that Croyle isn't the problem at all. He will get better etc.

i more worry about the rest of the offense ... which i'm not so sure will get much better.

If McIntosh comes back healthy, I think he's a significant upgrade over Svitek.

That alone might be the spark to make the offense considerably better.

But it all hinges on that.
