We just want to be assured he has what it takes. I don't see that as being alarmist

Jesus tapdancing Christ.
I can't even bring myself to read the thread - I'm 100% confident it is as reeruned as the title leads me to believe. Someone needs to start the ****Official Brodie Croyle Overreaction/Chicken Little/Bitch and Moan Thread**** Then all this bullshit can rot in one place. |

There's really no need to ever hit the "panic button" with Croyle. The Chiefs are a rebuilding team. If he improves with the team, in time they will be good. If he never makes it, it won't be that big of a deal. He's a 3rd rounder. Not much money is tied up. The Chiefs will just continue to build through the draft and improve. If a new QB is needed, the Chiefs will have good personnel in place and a better QB will enable the Chiefs to better make the "jump" to becoming a good team.

Did you just compare the mid-90s 49ers and their QB situation with the 2007 Chiefs "offense"? By 2000, he had been in the leage 7 years, so that's not relevant at the moment. The 'closes thing' that you mention was Brodie putting the team on his shoulders.... it was Herm/Solari that shut down the offense after that drive to prevent victory. Maybe he didn't have the yards, but how many 2nd year quarterbacks could get 383 yards of passing offense with no offensive line and no rushing game? I refer you to the great Talking Can... Quote:

How dare me... they're SO far apart.
Did you see the Vikings/Giants highlights last year? 4 INTs and several stupid decisions against the worst pass defense in the league. If Croyle has a game like that this year, this place would implode, much less his 4th year in the league. If it cracks you up so much, again, tell me 1) he looked like a QB that could make it after his rookie season, and 2) how he won a SB last year. Quote:

Goddammit, I'm getting tired of people who wants a washed-up QB becuase of the fact that they are goddamn scared of wanting to go through a QB developmental phase, while at the same time, they are okay with the other positions (Linemen, WR's, CB's, etc)going through the same thing. What the f**k? You can't have it both ways, people. So why is it not fair for Croyle to at least be given a year to at least try to develop ALONG with the other players such as Albert, Franklin, Dorsey, etc? You tell me that. It's bullshit.

Yes, I edited wrong.... but my point was there are a handful of superstar QBs that have at least made it to the SB, and a handful of less-than-mediocre QBs that have done the same.
The person I was talking to was talking about wanting a Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, and my point was that you can't look at the list of SB QBs over the past several years and say you need one of those guys to win a conference championship or SB. Hell, in Herm's perfect world, we would have a defense like Chicago's back when they went to the SB, so we wouldn't need a top 10 QB... and look at who they had at QB. |

I'll tell you this. Judging a QB by W-L's is overrated. Period.

Heh... that's a good way to put it.... "We know the O-Line that Croyle relies on isn't that good, and that's okay, it'll get better. We know the receivers he throws to are young, and again, they'll get better. And we know the running game that compliments Croyle's passing game was sh*t last year, in part due to the aforementioned O-Line problems, but we're expecting good things from LJ this year. ... WTF is wrong with Croyle?!?!?" |

Eli didn't have the benefit of holding a clipboard one year while learning the speed of the pro game. Croyle should be ahead of him on the learning curve. If everyone wants to hold Croyle to the Eli standard then fine, he should play in all 16 games this year and finish with 3,700+ yards, 24 TD's, 17 INTs and a 6.8 yard average.

The W/L thing will end up being one of the great double standards of the season. People are on Croyle's back now, because he's never won a game. I guarantee, that when the wins DO start coming, these same people will say that the team is winning IN SPITE of Croyle. Croyle is in a lose-lose situation with some people - and it's painfully obvious that the majority of this fanbase doesn't have the patience to develop a young QB. |
