Chiefs Herm to stick with Huard when Brodie comes back?

Brodie Croyle-QB-Chiefs Oct. 1 - 4:40 pm et

Chiefs coach Herm Edwards wouldn't commit Wednesday to Brodie Croyle retaking his starting job when he returns from a separated throwing shoulder.
"We'll talk about that when Brodie comes back," Edwards said, nodding his head repeatedly like it was a bad question. If KC was committed to winning this year, Damon Huard would likely continue to start, but that isn't the case. per rw

I just saw this on tv, and it looks like herm is waffling big time, and kept as it describes above, shaking off the question. It almost sounds like he would stick with Damon if he continues to play decent.

Croyle should be starting if he is healthy enough to play, period. He wouldn't say it's Croyle's job

Croyle should start. I want to give him one more chance. He should excell.

Won't happen.

Last few statements by Herm on Croyle almost makes you feel like Herm has lost some faith in him. If that's the case.... see ya Brodie. Herm's bad side is cold...

Brodie should come right back though IMO...

TrickyNicky · 10-01-2008, 06:17 PM

I can understand why, because he wants to keep his job and he thinks starting Huard will get him a few more wins.

It's goofy how 0-9 and multiple injuries will shake one's faith in a player...

**Skip Towne** · 10-01-2008, 06:20 PM

We can't get rid of Herm soon enough.

Mr. Laz · 10-01-2008, 06:21 PM

if we do stick with Huard then we might as well just cut every QB on the roster at teh end of the year because they are worthless to us going forward.

I don't buy that AT all.

I seriously doubt that Clark Hunt is telling Herm "You'd better start Huard and win some games. Otherwise, you're fired".

No. ****ing. Way.

Herm's stuck in a pickle. He's got an old QB who has limited abilities, a young QB who can't stay healthy with a ton of physical ability, a QB that's as raw as and raw can be and a complete unknown in Martin.

Who gives this team the best chance to improve week in and week out and what's best for this organization? Waiting for Croyle to get hurt again or trying to move forward with the development of young players?

THAT'S the issue.

NOT whether or not Herm would lose his job.

Yep, he has to show improvment in the wins area. If he doesnt, he's gone. He's fighting for his job right now.

They're probably worthless moving forward right now.

Again, no ****ing way.

Isn't there an old school rule, you don't lose your job to injury?

If this is a true youth movement you let the guy that may have a future play out the year barring injury...and then evaluate. Huard is not the future starter

For a fan, its stupid to start Huard, but fighting for a paycheck i can see it easy.

TrickyNicky · 10-01-2008, 06:26 PM

Are you kidding me? Herm is sticking with Huard because he's been burned by the same situation before. You can't tell me he wasn't feeling the pressure of perhaps losing his job after the eggs his team laid under the horrible Thigpen experiment. He's not waffling about Brodie. He's already made up his mind. Huard wins and doesn't stink up the joint, he stays in.
