Should/Could Brodie Croyle start this year???

grandllamajr · 03-14-2007, 04:16 PM

Should-No not yet at least I dont think he is ready yet. He is phenomenal and will be a great addition tot eh organization, but I don't think he is ready yet.

Could- Well probaly If trent goes to Miami, Houston, or wherever he chooses he would become the number 1 man in KC but, if he stays in KC he will have to compete for the top spot.

So that is what i think should/could happen with Brodie Croyle

Unless he craps down his leg in the preseason he should start.

The Gretz article leads me to believe the Chiefs want him to start and I think it will happen. Huard will only start if Croyle isn't ready and Green doesn't fit in the picture anymore.

I want him out there.

I just lost 30 seconds of my life that I will never get back.

DenverChief · 03-14-2007, 04:27 PM

I'd love to see him start if he is ready, but I still want wins and if that means huard has to start so be it...but I'm pulling for Croyle

The safe person in me says this too, because I want wins also.

I want to find out if Croyle is the future or if we need to keep looking. Why wait?

But there is a big part that believes these two statements more.

what happens next year (or the year after) when huard retires and croyle still hasn't taken a snap, or enough to know what we have. Then we will be debating if we should draft a QB high next year or bring a FA in, (like harriman or garcia this year)

we are in a corner, unless he craps on himself with the pressure, let him start, make some mistakes and improve or bust out.

Open competition in training camp and preseason. We'll find out.

LJ can look forward to stacked boxes until Croyle hits Hannon on a 90-yard TD pass.

Worst case scenario is he gets blasted and injured.........seeing as it's been a recurring theme throughout his career.

grandllamajr · 03-14-2007, 05:10 PM

Well im pulling too I just don't think he's ready yet.

Vegas_Dave · 03-14-2007, 05:15 PM

If hes the best player available, yes.

I disagree with part of this. Huard has not had ample opportunity to show what his moxie is. What he showed most recently is that there is not a team on the planet that could beat us when he was on. Yeah we dumbed down the offense, yeah he can't do some of the things Trent can do, but we won games and that is all that counts.

I agree that Croyle needs to start if he is really our QB of the future, the future is here. Particularly if this is a rebuilding year as many have stated. However, if we reload and fill the holes that are lacking and think we can compete this year much like we have in the recent past, then we should go with the guy who has proven he can get it done with what we've got.

Huard is 34 years old ........ just how much are you expecting him to show? and what is it worth even if he does show it?

1 year, 2 tops. Honestly, I care about nothing but 1 superbowl. Maybe Huard has no shot at getting us there, I'm just not ready to label a guy that plays lights out for us and gets us into the playoffs as unable. I think that if Green is gone he gives us the best chance now, if Green is here he may still give us the best shot now. Depends on how Trent comes back next year after some time off. I DON'T think Croyle gives us any chance at all. Not this year. If we are giving this year up, then start Croyle immediately. If we think we can compete though, Croyle isn't the solution for us.
