Derek Anderson signed a 7 million dollar contract for two years after going to Az as a quasi backup/starter.
Do you really think that Brodie Croyle would command more on the open market than Alexander, who at the very least has made a Pro Bowl and can stay upright, even if he pretty clearly sucks out loud.

well I predicted the Jets would finish at 10-6 last week before the Pats game and I think I'll be right there... that team is a pretender The Ravens are better than I expected but because of their defense, not Joe Flacco...they won't go anywhere with Flacco The Texans were a disappointment...they were a favorite of mine before the year but Schaub has regressed and Kubiak is a moron. BUT I'm pretty sure you were one of the guys telling me the Jets were a lock for their division and the Pats were too flawed to compete... because I was laughing my ass off before the season when the betting odds came out and had the Jets as the division favorite...stating the Pats (with odds) was like stealing money future bet wise... that's a real thread on here and I'm sure being the search guru you are you could find it...but I'm very lazy about that kind of stuff |

if Croyle lit it up and the Chiefs won...it would have basically locked up the 3 seed for us... people would have noticed... He could have VERY EASILY signed on for a 5 year, $30M contract with $10-11M guaranteed... VERY EASILY |

you know...
I'm probably wrong here... it looks like the going rate for potential is about 2 years and 10M or so... still that's going to look like a ton compared to what he's going to get now...I wouldn't even be surprised if he was out of the NFL next year...like I said...his best chance is to pray we resign him now |

lol, you weren't one of the disillusioned who thought we'd win this game were ya?
After last weeks squeaker, being away against a team that dumped a big game to the raiders, starting qb out, I pretty much gave us a 30 % or less chance of winning this game. The funny thing is it looked like, from my feeble vantage point, that it was called like a preseason game. |

I agree with this. But how many people here blamed playcalling or the offensive line when the Chiefs barely beat Cleveland? Or when the Chiefs lost to Indy? 99% of the blame fell on Cassel's shoulders. That's the way it should be, but we can't dish out that kind of criticism to one QB and not the other. Croyle today was even worse than Cassel's worst game. While Cassel shit the bed against Cleveland, he also threw for 176 yards with 16 completions. When we won, this whole board teed off on Cassel. Rightfully so. The Chiefs won in spite of Cassel. Today, we're talking about receivers, defense, offensive line, etc.... I get that our defense played much better against Cleveland than they played against Indy, but if we're going to blame the QB for a win against CLeveland, you have to blame the QB for a loss against San Diego. If these guys are the leaders of the team |

I won't bash the actual play called as much as the personel.
I knew KC was in trouble when Thomas Jones was still getting carries early and the first pass was designed for Terrance Copper. With Charles, Moeaki, Bowe and McCluster on your team, those should be the 5th and 6th options and they were FEATURED out of the gate. Utter fail.

On the first series, I said in the game thread, they had the handcuffs on Brodie. Just like they did Cassel last year. It put them behind, then the San Diego defense was able predict the Chiefs offense. San Diego knew what they had to defend, there was no surprise and they crushed the plays, they didn't just stop them, they crushed them. Brodie was clearly rusty, nervous, and sucked ass, as did the rest of the team. |
