Just like the one you have of Huard. Simma down.

In other words, he was protected so there wouldn't be a controversy.

The reality is that Croyle made what amounts to two bad decisions in the preseason. He also led the only scoring drive the 1's had, and looked amazing doing it.

That's called "inexperience", a problem which is not cured on the sidelines. You don't gain confidence on the sideline. You don't learn to recognize defenses at game speed on the sideline. You don't become a leader in the huddle on the sideline. You don't earn your team's respect on the sideline.

We haven't gotten anything from Huard that we wouldn't have gotten from Croyle. Poor throws into heavy coverage? Check. Receivers nearly decapitated because he regularly hangs them out to dry? Check. He hasn't done any of his vaunted "game management," throwing 5 picks, all of which were either poor throws or poor decisions.

Most of the notable plays in the second half against San Diego were balls that should never have been thrown in the first place, receivers making amazing plays to bail him out. Ditto for last week. Thank god for Dwayne Bowe, or we'd probably be sitting here at 0-4, in full meltdown mode. Because reality is that Huard is not an NFL starting calibre quarterback.

That said, you don't change QBs when you're winning. The real shame is that they started the season with him. Hopefully it's not going to set us back in '08, when we're scratching our collective heads wondering why Croyle doesn't look any better than he did in preseason '07.

We all know this, but what does it change......not a damn thing....

I know, we should write another 5000 posts that say we need a new front office, that will get results.

It wont satifsy me either, but I still want to get there and see what happens.

If you dont think we are good enough to win it all, how exactly are we being fooled?

I only rebuffed your egregious claims of Croyle's invincibility.

You think I have anything to do with the reason CP is still in office? Ive never even been to a game. Dude, you are delusional.

Carl Peterson is the GM for the Chiefs, not because of public opinion, but because he puts a competitive franchise on the field, year in and year out.

If the mandate from the ownership was to win a championship, then Peterson would have been fired long ago.

Peterson is the GM because the Hunt family clearly respects and likes the results under Peterson.

Regardless of fan apathy.

You settle for the hope that by making the playoffs your team has a chance to go the distance. Instead I believe making the playoffs is not necessarily a goal but a step. The real goal of a GM is to build a championship team that wins multiple SB's in a decade.

We've had 4 competitive teams in Peterson's 19 years....93, 95, 97, and '03. That is not a consistently competitive team. It's not even close.
