Chiefs Chiefs announce Bray as the backup QB - Page 21

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made a surprising declaration on Tuesday afternoon.

The Chiefs are still a little more than two months away from the start of training camp in St. Joe’s, but we already have some very interesting news on the depth chart front.

Reid has proclaimed that Tyler Bray, not Aaron Murray or Kevin Hogan, is entering training camp as the primary backup quarterback to Alex Smith. Murray was a fifth-round pick back in 2014 while Hogan was a fifth-round selection in April.

Despite being an undrafted free agent in 2013, Bray has stuck on the roster but never appeared or been active for a game in the regular season. He was placed on injured reserve last year after sustaining a torn ACL in a pickup basketball game.

Bray has all the physical tools you could want. He’s 6-foot-6 and 215 pounds and at 24 years old, might finally be seizing the moment after sitting behind Chase Daniel and Murray.

It will be fascinating to see if Bray can hold off Murray and Hogan in camp, not having thrown a competitive pass in two years.

Hear me out, i know this sounds crazy but....

You know what position Bray SHOULD be playing?

Linebacker.

Murray got 36 attempts in 4 games last preseason even though he was being successful.

The final game we ran the ball the entire 2nd half so Murray got like 1 pass.

not exactly working hard on development

Needs to have the ability and use it occasionally at the correct time. We do not need nor do I want a Stafford, Cutler type of QB. Those types never have never will win anything that matters.

I wouldnt argue against that, its where we would need to trust Reids ability to keep the guy coached up/situationally aware enough to make the right decision more often than not

Andy is plenty capable of that

How many reps should Murray have gotten? Or did you want Daniel to not get any reps at all and just give a bunch to Murray?

Reps last preseason:
Smith: 46
Daniel: 53
Murray: 36

That's exactly how it should be. Did you guys want Daniel completely unprepared if he ever had to play a game in the regular season?

That is his attempts not reps. Game 4, 15 attempts & 11 completions. 36 attempts through preseason.

Doesn't Joe Flacco kind of compare to those two?

Alex Smith sure doesn't need preseason snaps.

I mean, they are alike in the ways you mentioned... But their deliveries set them apart for me...

I would say definitely he compares to those two, but he went on one hell of a roll in the playoffs the year they won the Superbowl.
