If the Chiefs take Matt Ryan, what happens to all our QBs?
 

What do you think happens next season? Herm does the usual "open competition" for the starting job? Will Brodie still (at least temporarily) win the starting job? Does Huard get sent to the glue factory? Does Huard start the season as we wait for Ryan to get acquainted with the team and the NFL? Do Brodie, Ryan, and Huard get their legs broken and Tyler Thigpen steps in during the preason and lights things up?

Ryan and Croyle will battle it out for the starting job. Huard gets the ax and Thigpen is our 3rd string.

Or Herm could keep all 4 on the roster....because God knows we'll need them all.

They melt in place, just like this board will...

Brodie will bury himself deep in the twin peaks of Kelli.

Huard should be the last option and the 1st QB cut from the team if we pick up a 3rd QB in the draft.

He better be the Day One starter then.

I know everyone wants to sit a young QB for a year, but we have NOTHING to lose by trying to reduce his learning curve.

We're NOT going to compete this year. Playing the game is the only way he's going to grow as a QB.

I'm one of the biggest Croyle supporters here, but if you use a Top 5 pick on a QB, he's gotta play.

Playing Croyle for 2008 solves nothing.

Believe it or not, I would keep and start Huard. If we have a very young O-line, which it appears we will, having an experienced QB to call out where the blitzes are comming from may help that line gel faster. Let Ryan be the backup so he gets more snaps in practice. Let Croyle and Thigpen battle it out for the #3 spot, and possibly keep them both.

Then around game 11, I would start Ryan. Then after the season... bye-bye Huard.

How do you explain the Chargers with Brees and Rivers, then? I know that was kinda lucky for them, but still, there might be something to be said about taking the future of the franchise and allowing him to absorb everything.

Though I do agree with you; I fail to see how Croyle needed to be pampered and given a suitable offensive line to be protected otherwise he would snap like a twig. Isn't that the case for ANY QB we put behind center?

So you're assuming Huard would survive ten games?

I will find you.

I will kill everything you love.

We fuse all three of them together in the lab and make one giant piece of shit instead of three little dingleberrys.

ROFL


Just 'til the new O-line gels TC! Then he is gone.

Apples and oranges IMO.

Brees was an established QB.

I'd rather play him and find out he's a bust in 2010 instead of 2011 or later.

i am sure carl would do the dumbest thing possible which would be to start huard again.

What do you mean by established? His record up to that point wasn't anything to sing about and he appeared shaky as a starting QB. He was mistake-prone and it didn't appear at the time that he could take control of the Chargers franchise
