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

I wasn't dogging you. I was just wondering if anyone had the stats between the two this year and last??

I hope Croyle starts and they throw DOWNFIELD atleast 10 yard routes...

**007** · 10-01-2008, 07:50 PM

I like Croyle.

I'm done with Croyle. Time for a new direction. He is too easily broken.

There's no question Huard was the better quarterback last year. But that was last year. I don't see how it has any relevance.

Sure-Oz · 10-01-2008, 07:56 PM

No reason to play Huard, he is a backup period. We need to let Croyle play it out, if he sucks then release him!

I think you're speculating.

IF Huard continues to play well and lead the Chiefs to victory, I think they'll be slow to bring Croyle back on the field.

If Huard struggles, Croyle's back in until he's injured again.

I don't know why. Herm is totally committed to finding a young quarterback. They have to put Croyle out there and see if he's the guy. They're probably gonna be 1-4 anyway, so why not put Croyle in after the bye?

Herm would throw his mother under the bus to save his job. He's already thrown everybody else under; he's running out of bodies.

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?

Im still waiting to see what these bootlegs do for this offense, so far, it hasn't done shit.

And how the **** do you know the playbook is limited???? dumbass

This team has proved it can compete with a lot of teams when Huard starts.

This is mainly the reason why we made the playoffs in 06

Uh, it's fairly straightforward.

Huard is immobile.

Croyle is mobile.

When Croyle is in the game, they can do more. Duh?

I think thats what is going to happen. depending on our record we will pick a QB in the first round.

And I'm still waiting to see what these 4 yd naked bootlegs will do for this offense. Based on what I've seen in preseason and against NE, this bootleg offense hasnt been effective.

Who said anything about naked bootlegs?

I'm talking about Brodie Croyle slinging the ball down the field for a first down after carrying out a play fake.

With the way the running game is picking up the bootleg could be a very effective play.
