If he plays at the same level Eli did in his third year, you'll be calling for his head.

It just show tha patience is not a virtue among Chiefs fans in QB development.

True.

And honestly, we're pretty new at it.

Give the guy a chance.

Brodie -
W/L 0-6 :
Passing 127/224 for 56.7% completions for 1227 yards
TD/INT - 6/6
QB Rating - 69.9

Eli -

W/L - 1/6
Passing - 95/197 for 48.2% completions for 1043 yards
TD/INT 6/9
QB Rating - 55.4

How could anyone want Eli but not be willing to at least give Brodie a chance when Brodie was better in every catagory except for 1 win is beyond me.

It's funny, it took people 15 years or more to finally realize Carl at GM was a problem.

Marty had 10 years at HC, and people still think he was the answer.

But Croyle has had all of 6 starts at QB, and people are ready to throw him under the bus.

It's really kind of mind boggling.

Roethlisberger was the definition of a game manager. I don't think he is now... but it took him a couple years to reach that point. His first couple years... that team was 1st in rushing attempts and dead last in passing attempts. They used their rushing attack and offensive line to protect him, and he just didn't have to throw the game away.

To his credit, the playoffs came around that 2nd year... and then when everybody was expecting Steeler ball, Cowher turned him loose a bit, and passed to open up the run to finish them off.

I'm trying to give the guy a chance. It's hard lol.

Shoot i've already seen people calling Tank, Turk, and Pollard busts on here as well. It isn't just QB's.

For what, 4 years, people have been asking "when will he stop making stupid decisions?" and "when will he start playing like he was drafted in the first round?".... and he only answered the first question during the playoffs last year.

Bumping to make sure VT sees this as thanks to a hickup, it got posted early and then down the list by the time I got it edited.

I have a feeling that it won't make a bit of difference.

I posted the same stats and they were ignored, so I'm thinking it won't make a difference.

Even if Croyle has "it", like milkman stated, it won't happen here, not under Carl or the fans.
