Chiefs Herm to stick with Huard when Brodie comes back? - Page 3

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

Brought to us by the same dipshits that tried running the option, during the first series of a game. An NFL game.

Why is it so important to get Croyle on the move? This has nothing to do with trying not to get him killed, right?

Are you serious? Bootleg is no way comparable to the option.

It's one of his strengths? He throws well on the run? It results in big plays?

this all depends if Julius Peppers has himself Huard for lunch i bet he is foaming at the mouth - i'm not yet convinced that Croyle is much more then anything other then a backup QB at this point, he is just to frail to be a QB in the NFL. Huard gives us the best chance to win even if Croyle was healthy

This should be interesting. There's an unwritten law in the NFL that says you don't lose your job due to injury. Also, the youth movement dictates that we start Croyle ... at least until he proves once and for all that he isn't the right guy for the job.

My guess is that he'll return as the starter ... with an even shorter leash (if that's possible) this time around.

Not comparing the two. Simply commenting upon the brilliance of the Chiefs offensive braintrust.

Sorry, I'm having a difficult time thinking through all the "big plays" Croyle has authored. All the talk of his perceived strengths is meaningless to me because I don't think he'll ever stay on the field consistently.

Should still be Brodie's job, I thought he performed well until his injury.

Chiefnj2 · 10-01-2008, 07:14 PM

Maybe they made up their mind on Croyle already.

We haven't reached this point, yet?

Year 1: Injured in training camp.
Year 2: Lost job to Huard in camp, injured when inserted as the starter. Never won a game.
Year 3: Injured 27 seconds into game 1.

Perhaps I'm being too negative, but I don't need to see the next injury.

Exactly. If it were up to Herm, he'd win 6 games/year as long as Carl lets him stay. Mixing in the good QB w/the so-so rookie trys to keep everyone happy. Mostly Herm.

Hammock Parties · 10-01-2008, 07:25 PM

You guys are more reeruned than I thought if you REALLY believe Herm is going to start Huard just to save his job. Not happening.

kc1977 · 10-01-2008, 07:27 PM

The QB of the future is clearly not on the team at this point. So, there is no reason to not start the QB who gives you the best chance to win, which is clearly Huard.

Case closed.

I was thinking the same thing. especially if the inquiring about Brady Quinn rumor was true.

I don't have the stats but it would be interesting to see what our 3rd down completion percentage is between the two. It seems like we convert a lot more 3rd downs with huard could just be my imagination though.

It's really quite irrelevant at the moment. Brodie has only thrown 19 passes this season. I'm basing my opinion mostly on what I saw in training camp. There is no way this offense is better with Huard out there. Brodie opens up sections of the playbook they don't even consider with Huard under center.

Do these sections involve throwing passes for a TD? This was a shortcoming in his game in the preseason. Aside from this, Croyle was dominant.
