Croyle deserves the Roethlisberger treatment - Page 10

And no, I don't mean breaking his face on someone's bumper.

I still think that this team will do more to help itself in the long run if Brodie is our starter.

I think that most of us are willing to admit that our two weak links on offense today were Kyle Turley and Huard. Huard made ok decisions for the most part, but he still checked down too much, IMO, and he made some really poor throws. Turley got his bitch ass yanked, and for the future of the franchise, hopefully Huard's time is soon.

Croyle will make mistakes, but Huard isn't exactly giving us Montana-like precision either. We have two options in the passing game, which is perfect for a young QB. If he can't find D-Bowe or Tony, he can check down, and his arm and legs allow us to do things we can't with Huard.

If we can let Brodie be a game-managing QB this year (which is essentially what Huard is), then we might be able to be competitive for several years.

But the myopic Chiefs front office (and many of their fans) thought it was a bad idea to bring in a former MVP of the league who's coming off a knee injury (hello, Croyle?) who in his second start this season, scored 5 touchdowns.

Post count does not equal football intelligence.

WTF? He was 5-12 for 75 yards. Whoa, he really lit it up.

I don't have to explain anything to you.

The Chiefs made their decision based on OTA's, training camp and pre-season. Any "Professional" journalist who reported on the Chiefs training camp felt that Croyle wasn't ready. The Chiefs thought Croyle wasn't ready. The overwhelming majority of fans SAW that Croyle wasn't ready.

Why is this so fucking difficult for you to understand?

The majority of this board wanted Croyle right before the season started.

Big deal. The majority of this board wants to see Boomer start. Or Brian Shay. Or Marc Boerigter. Or the other myriad of "fan favorites". Does that make the "majority" of the board correct? Hell no.

People here get offended that their favorite team isn't mentioned in the national media but when they are, the media is "wrong" and "against" them.

Many of the same people who bitch about Croyle not starting didn't see the pre-season games, don't have the NFL Sunday ticket nor do they watch every game. Many threaten to turn off the TV when things are going bad (see the Official Game Thread for evidence).

So whose opinion are you going to believe? The coaching staff, front office and national football writers? Or a few disgruntled guys on an internet forum who do not have all of the pertinent information?

I'll go with the former.

pretty freakin hilarious... no one really knows what Croyle can do. He certainly didn't wow the coaching staff during the pre-season enough to make him Chief's starting QB. That being the case then it really doesn't matter if he gets in or not b/c Huard is doing the job sufficiently enough for Herm football.

We all can agree this is not a special team that is going anywhere near the SB. Our OL challenges will have to be addressed during the offseason both in the draft and free agency. If we can get at least a Top 10 but preferably a Top 5 next year then we can pick some strong OL players. If we do what we usually do and win enough games to push us in the high teen's low 20's then we'll continue to get "scraps" and just get by.

If by some miracle we do get a Top 5 it will be interesting to see what we do. I can't imagine that we wouldn't focus on OL but can a potential franchise QB change our strategy?
