Very true. I think Marty had a lot to do with Archie Manning not wanting Eli to play in San Diego.

With Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell completing all of six passes. In fact, with reports swirling that Raiders coach Lane Kiffin would be fired after Sunday's game, and then that not being the case, it now appears that losing to the Chiefs has become grounds for dismissal. Quick, somebody tell rookie Falcons head coach Mike Smith it's win or else this week at home against K.C.

They might have had a great 2008 draft, but I look for the Chiefs to battle it out all season with the Rams (nice football state, Missouri) and maybe the Bengals for the distinction of being the NFL's worst team. They've got no quarterbacking, a disgruntled and unreliable lead running back in Larry "Me-first'' Johnson, and the look of a team that's in the deepest darkest stages of a years-long rebuilding program.

Edwards' fate is pretty clearly tied to the question of whether team owner Clark Hunt finally ends the tenure of long-time Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson, who has served in his capacity 20 seasons without delivering even a Super Bowl appearance. For that matter, Kansas City hasn't won a playoff game since 1993. If "King Carl'' survives yet again, so will Edwards. But if Hunt pulls the plug on Peterson, the new GM customarily gets to hire a head coach of his choosing. And that could end Edwards' three-year K.C. tenure.

You know, I never considered that possibility.

Why, Mr. Rooster, do you feel that way? Because of Marty's conservative philosophy? Because of his post-season problems? Because he didn't want Marty cozying up to Eli's women?

Yeah but there were no signs of complete and utter offensive reerunation. Terry Shea saw to that.

BigRedChief's reports have never been wrong before, so I agree that maybe Huard did just up and quit this last Sunday and because of that, is truly in Herm's doghouse. Huard's last throw was that interception, which bounced off Devard Darling. Huard looked disgusted after Darling ****ed that play up.

Well, I can't help it if you have trouble grasping such a simple concept.

I used to work for someone I could not stand, but I worked my ass and supported my team.

It's pretty simple.

I guess Elway never quit on Dan Reeves either heh?

Because it was reported/talked about by Grunny on the morning drive show on 810 I can also report from the same source that several players are upset with Huard for quiting and went to Herm and or managment and said they would rather play for anyone but Huard because he quit on them.

If that is the case the team should release him or seek a trade immediately. I can't imagine who would go and complain even if he did quit. The OL that isn't protecting him? LJ who can't hit a hole? The WRs who can't get open and/or drop passes?
