Start Croyle in 07! - Page 5

Red Dawg · 01-08-2007, 08:35 PM

We have a coached signed up several years to build the team. We have not had a young QB that we drafted in how long?

Give the kid a chance

Don't turn off all sigs for everyone. He (SLQ) can turn off his sigs so he doesn't have to see it if it offends him that much.

Personally I think that photo is in poor taste as well.

First off I think it's completely tasteless to take a photograph of a dead person at their funeral. Who does that? Then they have the audacity to put it on the internet? Using it as a sig is just plain strange, and IMO comes closer to making the funeral a circus than it shows respect for the deceased.

dont be surprised if you see Vinny in KC in the near future as the starting QB

I was on the "stay with Trent" side of the argument before the playoffs. But now I think you open up the compitition at training camp and see what happends.

May the best QB win!

Don't get me wrong here... I'm not saying that it isn't in poor taste or just plain friggin weird. Just saying that there are options available to those it bothers.

To an extent, IMO.

If Brodie is very close, got the o down, throwing accurate, but seems to be missing alittle during training camp, throw him in the fire. I know it could burn him but it could also forge him. I am of the opinion that we go for it early while we still have Trent or Huard as his backup. give him a few games (or the whole season even. If it goes badly we get a good draft pick in 08, if it goes well, we have enough talent to make a run. Provided, of course that this offseason is devoted to the O-line), let's see what we have. Is he capable of being a QB of the future or a backup forever.

However, if he can't hold a candle to trent, then all bets are off.

Hehe, you do realize that Vinny is the backup in NE this year, right? It's not just Herm.

KCJohnny · 01-10-2007, 11:05 PM

There is a decidely strong trend in going with young QBs: Vince Young, Jay Cutler, Matt Leinart, Phillip Rivers, the Fins, the Skins, etc... all replaced vets with young QBs this year. Croyle may be the deal...

cjp27 · 01-10-2007, 11:41 PM

I'd be all for opening up the competition in training camp to see if Croyle can win the job. In all reality he's probably another year away.

While we're at it, I think it'd be a great idea to open up the competition for head coach to see if Herm can win the job.

Who will be the Chiefs starting QB next season?

I didn't want to start another thread.

I keep hearing this stuff about our O-Line ... Huard played well behind the same line and went 5-3. Most of us believe he would have won more games than Trent did.

Since Herm is dumbing down the O, I say go into camp with Croyle practicing with the first unit to see what he can do. He can't learn any younger. Tenn, Denver, Ariz will all be better next year because they allowed their 1st. year QB to get some valuable experience this year. None of us (nor the coaching staff) knows if he will be a winner or not.

I like what he did at Bama ... I mean the way it was reported that he found a way to win. IIRC he fell to the 3rd. round because of injury questions not because of his QB ability. Therefore, if he is healthy he should play like a 2nd. or 1st. round pick. I think he has the intangibles of a winner and if he does ... give him the experience. It's not likely Herm will lead us to the S.B. next year anyway. He will be ready in a couple of years when we fans run Herm out of town.

If Trent comes back, he would be in the wings in case Croyle doesn't pan out. I think Huard will do better running Herm's new special offense, but he is a FA and if CP/Herm believes Croyle is the QBOF then they will not pay him starters pay ... therefore, Trent is signed

Based on what?

Trends? That means jack shit.. if Croyle's going to be a good NFL QB, he's probably going to need some time.
