Brodie Croyle

[Logical]

I cannot believe we got him this late.

Let's face it, where Herm is taking the team is much closer to where Marty had it (dominating defense, don't-lose -the-game QB) and Croyle seems like the right fit for a Steve DeBerg styled QB replacement.

I like Trent as much as the next guy, and was never a Montana fan, but that is as ridiculous a statement as I've ever read.

When was the last time the Chiefs drafted, developed, and played a QB that ever had a winning season?

I am sorry, I did not read all the posts on this thread. I just want to say that Carl Peterson is an absolute joke as a GM.

When we need help at DT, CB, and WR, we take a QB. If we had a history of drafting and developing successful QBs, I might be able to let the pick slide. But we never have.

Wait, I am forgetting Mike Elkins. No wait, we did draft Killian last year. He is playing parts of every third quarter in NFL Europe.

I f**king hate Carl Peterson.

So, please, if you know the answer, tell me who was the last QB that we drafted, developed, played and that had a winning season.

Croyle's arm is MUCH stronger than Chad's ever was.

The Chiefs have drafted 9 quarterbacks in the last twenty-five years; ten including Croyle. Of those, again including Croyle, three have been taken on the first day.

What a huge sample size. I'm convinced. Might as well cut Croyle immediately so he can get a job at Hy-Vee.

All Penn State RBs are miserable failures, too, right?

OK, to answer your question about QBs drafted and developed in KC, never.

But not trying, simply because prvious coaching staffs have faile is a lame ass argument.

Using that same logic, we shouldn't have drafted LJ a couple of years ago, because Penn St. RBs always bust.

Damn you Hali Berry!

Congrats on the pickup... Croyle shows some promise, though my concern with him has been that he's the next Chad Pennington. Hopefully, for yours and his sake, he can stay healthy...

Apples and oranges, right? Pennington had problems with his throwing arm, while Croyle has had some knee work.

[TinyEvel]

Why Brodie?

1) Cool Name

2) refer to his Q&A:

Q: What do you know about the other Chiefs quarterbacks (other than Green)?

CROYLE: “I really don’t know anything about them. All you hear about is Trent Green.”

[SoCalBronco]

Very good pick for the Chiefs. Hali and Croyle are real quality persons too.

[HolmeZz]

I don't see how anyone can find downside with the Croyle pick. We have no real future at the QB position. Croyle had a 2nd round grade from a lot of people(he was my 3rd ranked QB) and we got him in the middle of the 3rd. I think it's a great fit.

[milkman]

Am I the only one worried when Donkey fans start telling us we done good.

[Moooo]

I'm a Bama fan. The first thing people might say is that he didn't throw a touchdown for almost a month his Senior year, but Croyle had NO protection down in Tuscaloosa. He has the right mentality and instincts if given more than .5 seconds from what everyone else said.

Its always exciting when your team gets a QB on day one. But for the life of me I don't know why Omar Jacobs wasn't already selected. I know he wasn't projected, but he was a one-man show at Bowling Green. I know that's not BCS, but the teams he went up against knew what he was gonna do and he still did it. Sounds pretty good to me. Not to mention his numbers are boggling, like Daunte Culpepper boggling.

Moooo

I also like to see Trent at the helm for another 3 years. So 2008 it is. As long as Herm doesn't follow the Marty philosophy of stapling a young QB's ass to the bench. I think Croyle should come in for cleanup work at EVERY opportunity.

Yeah, you don't translate stats from college to the pros. You translate skills and abilities. Omar Jacobs isn't in Croyle's league in terms of skill set IMO.
