Chiefs Insider Blog: Let it be Heard – Matt Cassel is KC's Starter

HALEY AND CROYLE COMMENT ON QUARTERBACK SITUATION
September 23rd – 3:01 PM

There was a bit of a stir over the past 24 hours after some of Chiefs head coach Todd Haley’s comments regarding competition at the quarterback position. Today, Haley confirmed what was originally posted in this blog this morning (see first post): There is no quarterback controversy in Kansas City.

“No, there is not a quarterback controversy, ” Haley said. “My message is going to continue to be consistent to you. I just want (everyone) to understand that.“

Haley’s message of consistency is one of competition and dependable play at each position, quarterback included. Croyle echoed Haley comments in the locker room today.

“Matt is the man and they brought him here to be that,” QB Brodie Croyle said today. “I just go out there and try to play. Whenever my number is call, I try to go out there and play. But there is no controversy.”

How is that possible?

I don't know about you, but the mixed messages and signals sent from this current regime are causing me some considerable pause.

You know where I'm going, don't you? In case you don't let me do a fast review of just the past day or two. First, we have the news from Whitlock that Pioli/Haley are mixing like oil and water.

Then we have a Haley press confab where Todd states we can "Sign me Up" for a QB that helps the team win with a clear inference toward Brodie Croyle as the guy who, (paraphrasing a bit here), "Does what we ask him to do and executes that plan without turning the ball over against a superior defensive team like the Ravens, etc, etc"

Sounds to me like the controversy might be in the front office! Let me be clear here. I'm not a Croyle advocate by any means. Like most of you, the jury remains out on Cassel as being the guy that's all that. My sense is that the front office and head coach are not seeing the same vision and, if true, that means a longer time period of turmoil before this all gets sorted out and on the right track.

There's pressure for lots of folks on display here. Pressure to crack a facade or forge a new template for future success. Which is which? There's considerable work yet to be done folks. Considerable.

Who knew the guy making $60 million would be the starter.

That's alright. It's spawned hundreds of posts and allowed the same people to bitch about the same things all over again. They just got to do it under the guise of a false controversy.

I think you were the target market for this entire fiasco created by your local, butthurt, media. It's cool though. It's something to think and talk about for awhile.

In a few weeks, this won't even be a topic of discussion. Enough of the manufactured drama already.

Speaking of "in a few weeks" we have our tickets for the Dallas game - see you then.

I'm sure we'll get a Fatlock article tomorrow talking about how "Josh Looney is Scott Egoli's media puppet" or some dumb shit like that.
