Chiefs Insider Blog: Let it be Heard – Matt Cassel is KC's Starter

HALEY AND CROYLE COMMENT ON QUARTERBACK SITUATION
September 23rd – 3:01 PM

There was a bit of a stir over the past 24 hours after some of Chiefs head coach Todd Haley’s comments regarding competition at the quarterback position. Today, Haley confirmed what was originally posted in this blog this morning (see first post): There is no quarterback controversy in Kansas City.

“No, there is not a quarterback controversy, ” Haley said. “My message is going to continue to be consistent to you. I just want (everyone) to understand that.“

Haley’s message of consistency is one of competition and dependable play at each position, quarterback included. Croyle echoed Haley comments in the locker room today.

“Matt is the man and they brought him here to be that,” QB Brodie Croyle said today. “I just go out there and try to play. Whenever my number is call, I try to go out there and play. But there is no controversy.”

Tell that to Around the Horn and PTI. Idiots. The only one on Around the Horn who had ANY idea what was going on and seemed to have any knowledge of what has been going on with the Chiefs this entire offseason was Jacki MacMullan.

As for PTI, just totally clueless.

Only thing he said was last week after the gave, given a short leash, Croyle gave the team a chance to win. If any of you can read between the lines of that presser, that meant he gave us a chance to win by not ****ing up.

I hardly think Cassel ****ed up. As I said before, those were two great INT's by Huff. 9/10 safeties in the league will not make that play on the ball and come out with an INT. Especially not two.

Both CBS Sports and ESPN posted a story with titles implying a QB controversy well before Whitlock did.

But that would go against your agenda, wouldn't it?

Sorry Warpath, you're wrong. Nobody said Whitlock broke the story. In fact, the consensus seems to be that 810 conjured up this thought. CBS and ESPN only picked it up after they heard local noise about it, and then Haley did a bad job of putting the rumors to rest whilst not destroying the perception he is trying to paint to the players that no one is bigger than the team.

It's a Fairytale.

I heard somebody on the national broadcast talking about Croyle making "a statement" at HALFTIME of the Baltimore game.

Not to mention the fact that people like Kent Babb were tweeting about Croyle "outplaying" Cassel during TRAINING CAMP and the national media were talking about it then.

We all know Kent Babb don't know shit about football.

Head is still firmly planted, I see.

Had Todd Haley just gone the Lovie Smith route and said "Matt Cassel is our QB" it wouldn't be an issue.

But when you leave the door wide ****ing open by talking about "signing him up" for another QB, and making comments that praise Croyle's performance in Baltimore while taking subtle shots at the performance of Cassel on Sunday, you're practically begging for someone to run with it.

Well, ya might need to watch Haley too. He ****s with the media a lot. For an asshole, he has a good sense of humor.

Great response. Excellent rebuttal.

Easier for me to say "you're a ****ing moron" by posting that than actually typing it.

But since you asked, you are a ****ing moron.

Huff made a break on the 1st ball, and was gift wrapped an INT on an overthrow on the second.

If you think those are plays that only 3 safeties in the NFL can make, then you need to watch more football.

Anyone can make a play here and there, everyone get's lucky. They were both great plays on his part. I don't know many safeties who make both of those plays. Most in the league don't even make one. So whatever. Homo.

Those picks were pretty bad. Philly leads the league in picks, so if a few "sail" on him this week it won't be pretty. Hopefully the knee is doing better and that he doesn't make those mistakes this week.
