Green has likely been told that the #1 is between Huard and Croyle.

Ball is in Greens court.....


I hope you are kidding.... The last thing the Chiefs need is Huard as the starter...

Does anyone know if Croyle is working out with some WRs this off-season..it would be nice if he went to Cali. and worked with Gonzo and Moon ...

Except that's not what the article says:

Quote:

"Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green was told by team president Carl Peterson that he can come back to the team next season, but will have to compete for the starting job with second-year quarterback Brodie Croyle and will have to take a pay cut to return."
Competing with Croyle for the starting spot...sounds like Huard is out of the mix as a starter, and will back up whoever starts, Trent or Croyle.

I wouldn't mind having Croyle sit and learn one more year, even if he's the #3. He can go full bore for the starting job in '08.

NewChief 03-06-2007 09:40 AM

If Trent stays, I would imagine they go back to what they said, intially, at the end of the season: it's open competition between Huard, Trent, and Croyle through spring and camp. That's just an assumption, though. I have zero insider knowledge, yet, of what went down during this session.

You learn by doing. Sitting on the bench in 07 means he'll be FULLY ready in 2009.

Croyle should be the starter .

There are some sick throws in that video against elite SEC defenses.

Not that he's close to perfect but we really need to see what we have sooner rather than later.

Eleazar 03-06-2007 10:06 AM

I'm not at all confident that Croyle is the answer. He has shown zero so far.

Making throws in college doesn't impress me... that was what, 2 years ago? Leaf made throws in college too.

Yeah, he's shown zero so far in all those opportunities he's been given.

I dunno. Parcells should something to the effect that Romo would have been out of football had he been throw in there early on. I think it's one of those things that depends on the guy in question. I'd just as soon have Croyle start, but it's not a no-brainer to throw him into the fire if he's not ready.

It's not like he was just drafted. He carried the clipboard for a full season.

And we're changing the offense according to Herm, why teach it to two guys approaching 40?

Like my prediction on ****ler by mid season last year.

Croyle will be in not sure about Mid season? Alot depends on schedule and Huard.

Bowser 03-06-2007 10:14 AM

In the end, having all of our QB's going into training camp knowing they have to work for the #1, 2, and 3 spots will only help them out by lighting a fire under their collective butts.

GoHuge 03-06-2007 10:17 AM

If you've got them under contract and you can get Green to take a paycut, then why not have them all compete for the job? Isn't Herm always talking about competition at a position being a good thing? Does it matter if we have a "starter" for next season when where still six months away from training camp? Huard and Green really aren't that different from each other. They are about the same age, they both know the offense inside and out, and their on-field performance is average. Croyle is more or less a rookie. Let the best man win. I can't stand the "his job to lose" or "he's our starter right now" cliches. Have them fight it out and see who "earns" the starting spot. Just an idea.

Won't know until he's tried, and he really hasn't tried yet. He's got a lot of potential, but we need to see about it and the only way is to play him.
