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

FYP.

Croyle is starting when he's healthy. Period. In fact, he still gives the Chiefs the best chance to win.

Indeed. All of the evidence supports this.

The Chiefs don't have a starting QB, so who plays out the rest of the year doesn't really matter...

Croyle played well in New England before he got hurt.

True. He kicked ass during the first series.

When Croyle returns to the line-up, as I'm sure he will, it will be interesting if some posters are quick to claim that he "deserves another shot" when he gets hurt, again.

Huard is best for the youth movement..he will make more players better than Brodie will..on BOTH sides of the ball

This is everything that is wrong with this franchise. The great teams play to win the Super Bowl, we play to win 7-8 games.

Don't you realize the playbook is limited when Huard is under center? The Chiefs can't run bootlegs or much of anything that calls for a moving quarterback. The Chiefs' deep game is severely limited because Huard can't make the throws Croyle can.

Judging by the way people are suddenly sucking off Huard after a 160-yard game, they're going to be SHOCKED when Croyle comes back. It's almost as if people think Croyle and Thigpen are the same player. WTF?

Brodie deserved the shot he had at the start of teh season, and the fact is, a lot of players would have gone out with that injury in the same circumstances.

However, he hasn't been able to stay on the field far to often already.

Give him another chance.
Don't give him another chance.

It doesn't make a damn bit of difference.

It would be foolish for the Chiefs to go into the season next year with the QB depth chart as is.

We need to address the position in the draft and in FA and rebuild the depth chart at QB.

I'm about sick of hearing about the magical bootlegs that this team runs. Also, the deep threat is a major aspect of any Herm-led team, since he has a penchant for risk taking.

Huard and Croyle = different kinds of suck. Get over it.

Huard makes throws that thigpen and croyle cant..more importantly he attempts to make throws that Brodie wont. I can cant the number of swing passes from Sunday on one hand

It's a key part of the offensive attack. We're limited when Huard is out there.

The only point I might argue with here is whether or not a lot of other players would have been hurt on the same play. Don't get me wrong, Croyle was rocked. But I would have liked to have seen how 15-20 more lbs. of muscle mass would have affected the results.
