I was at that game

:deevee:

Huard.

He kept the team in the playoff hunt when Green was injured. That alone makes him the best backup, especially considering the great Mike Solari was the OC.

Honorable mention goes to Daniel. He went 1-1 as a starter and should have been 2-0 had it not been for Succop's easy miss.

I'm so glad Succop's gone.

If it weren't for Brittle Brodie Croyles wife, he would have 0 votes. NTTIAWWT.

Point of clarification, is this the best QB to hold the position of backup in KC, or the best use of their backup tenure while in KC?

Your starter goes down. You can have 1999-2000 Warren Moon. Or 1998-2005 Todd Collins. Or 2007-2008 Tyler Thigpen. Etc. Which one would you pick as the best QB?

I think Dane might be right, actually.

I mean, I didn't love Huard's propensity to turtle when things got a little hairy on occasion, but he did pretty credible work here.

Foles is probably the most gifted but the best resume is almost certainly Huard's.

Has to be Huard

He might not be the most talented QB in the group but this is based on production with the Chiefs when pressed into service after starting QB got injured.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but he's the only one there who led the Chiefs to a playoff appearance.

In our 4-12 2007 season, Huard went 4-3.

The dude took that team and gave them a winning record through 7 games.

Hell, he went 1-1 as a starter in 2008 for crying out loud.

Before Alex Smith was Mr. Inexplicable Wins, there was Damon Huard.
