Ten Things From Today's Game - Page 5

**gblowfish** · 12-16-2007, 04:45 PM

Merry Frickin' Christmas....

1) Announced attendance over 70,000. Actual attendance probably 50,000. Upstairs about half full.

2) Didn't see many guys wearing bags over their heads, but did see two great signs. One was three guys way upstairs holding 3 neon green signs that said...

GET......OVER......IT

Very nice.

Second one was with about 2 minutes left in the game under the big scoreboard, some guys unfurled a big long white sheet that covered from goalpost to goalpost that said (not sure if this is exact...)

GET RID OF CARL AND SEND HERM WITH HIM

3) I'm starting to fear Brodie Croyle is the next Todd Sackledge. Two TDs, but two costly picks in the second half. I can see King Carl (if he's still here) bringing in yet another journeyman QB like a Krieg, or DeBerg or Bono...to challenge Brodie next year. I think Huard is toast. I'm not sold on Brodie. He has yet to win a start. Sometimes your QB has to will the team to victory. Not sure if Brodie has the chops to do that.

4) If there is a silver lining, we found out Kolby Smith can play. Dude is every bit as good as Michael Bennett. Wonder if he can return kicks?

5) When was the last time the Chiefs didn't have a kicker and a kick returner? We have to find a kicking solution for the long term, and we have to find a guy who can be a threat on kickoff returns. How does Eddie Drummond cash his paycheck with a straight face?

6) Chris Terry is now free to start his career as a Sears Sales Associate, selling riding mowers or Kenmore Washers. Best of luck to him in his retail career. I told him three weeks ago the only way he'd see the Raiders next year at Arrowhead was to buy a ticket. I was right. Good Riddance.

7) Who the hell is Dick Curl and why do we need him around? He's just a grumpy old man who annoys our QBs, as far as I can tell....

8) I think Solari and Gunther could both be gone at the end of the year. Neither has done an acceptable job this year.

9) What happened to Turk and Tank this year? They have been inconsequential as draft picks. Boone and Edwards play more than they do, and today Jimmy Wilkerson outplayed both of them. There goes another poor 2 and 3 pick. We need impact players with those picks. Chiefs just can't get value for high picks. Junior Siavii, Eddie Freeman, Mike Cloud, etc etc etc....

10) Selected Chiefs Merchandise 50% off next weekend at the Chiefs Pavillion. I'm sure they'll have people camping out for that next weekend. Buy a lot of crap....Carl is counting on you.

No reason to screw up our draft at this point. Play all rookies. Run the ball.
Trade Tony G to give him a chance to win a SB in the few years he has left.

Think the Jets fans will get a big kick out of beating Herm last game of the season? I think they'll have a big day at home and try to embarrass Herm... like that's something new this year.

Dear God.

What a huge reach. Ellis, Laurinaitis, or either of the Jenkins would be better picks at that point.

Someone could even make a case, albeit a questionable one, about Desean Jackson.

Yep and I don't think Carl has ever drafted a USC guy.

We did draft Marcus Maxey and he was from Miami. That didn't pan out though.

Of course all of that could change during the combine

Because they know we need OL help and know how Carl operates.

Here's the sad part......I could see that legit happening, it's the nature of our franchise.

And then there will be several people here cheering saying it's a great pick.

Who was the last top-10 QB that deserved to be top-10?

Ryan reminds me of Matt Schaub, which I guess is okay. But Rosenfels is probably the Texans' best QB.

Probably. I have seen a few that have us picking Long but I don't think he falls that far

stonedstooge · 12-16-2007, 07:59 PM

All the weeks about complaining that Brodie wasn't getting to play and now you want him thrown in the trash? And what about being so critical of Huard. My God if it was Manning back there, he would have been taking the same beatings. The guy isn't quick footed but he took more hits than Ali used to dish out in a 15 round fight. His bruises probably won't heal until next years training camp. And he never blamed anyone but himself. I thought he showed a lot of class for what he had to put up with. He may not be a great quarterback but he is a class human being

If we draft Clady with Ellis on the board....ugh

He's got MUCH better physical tools than Schaub does. His arm is a ton better, if he really does remind you of him that's probably a good sign because all of his natural talent is better.......so he could be like Matt Schaub times 10...and Schaub really isn't that bad.

**dirk digler** · 12-16-2007, 08:01 PM

What about Michael Oher?

Carson Palmer.

And before that?

You could argue for McNabb.

Otherwise, all the way back to Peyton Manning, IMO.

We drafted some WR named Larry _______ from USC around 1999 or so. He was a #3 WR at USC though, and was never better than a #5 for us.

Waiting to hear if he's going to declare.

Conflicting reports on what he may do.

I believe he is staying in school. Won't be available until 2009 NFL Draft.
