AFC Team Reports: Chiefs - Page 5

Kansas City Chiefs

Quarterback Brodie Croyle will receive much of the work when the offseason practice begins in May and when the team gets to training camp. That in effect makes the job Croyle's to lose. Coaches would like to see Croyle win it. If Croyle can handle the job, the team can begin the constructing an offense around him. Croyle's arm is strong enough to make all of the necessary throws, and hr has nice touch. The biggest questions involve his lack of size and durability.

I would consider this good news. Building for the future.

He's 34-years old and started less than a full season in his entire career. If it wasn't for the fact that Dave Krieg closed out his career here, Huard would have been knocking on the door of setting the team record for fumbles by a Chiefs QB.

Not to mention the fact that people act like it's a foregone conclusion that starting Brodie equals having a shitty season while starting Huard ensures a winning season.

I think that he will be weaned in this year to be the starter. I believe the chiefs will do that this year. As a fan i would like that to happen.

Ya, you know Carl had a boner for Donnie coming "home" though.

I for one love the Napoleon Harris signing though.

Right now Brodie will be scrambling for his life unless the Chiefs get serious about the offensive line.

bdeg · 04-02-2007, 03:48 PM

That's true. I could see the Chiefs passing out of a 2 TE set pretty often with Dunn helping out Macintosh, at least unless we get some help at WR. Maybe that'll free up Tony G.

Sign younger free agents like who?

Are you suggesting we sign more William Bartee's and the like? After all, it doesn't matter if they suck as long as they are younger, right?

As for locking up players long-term, who? Why throw money at guys that don't warrant it? We already have enough money to lock up the guys that NEED it.

The Chiefs are serious about the offensive line. McIntosh is a serious upgrade over Black.

Something tells me its back to the future folks. All this QB talk might be superflourous. Huard, Croyle, hell even Green, the QB position for the Chiefs is probably returning to one of hand offs and dumps with the occasional deep ball. I don't really mind that if the defense becomes top 5. But get ready for some more playoof disappointment, yes playoof.

No balance, no championship. Simple as that. Peterson doesn't know the meaning of balance. Right now is kind of like starting over and Peterson is still here so what does that tell me? Playoofs.

I won't argue that. Thats not the only spot that needs an upgrade though. Plus Shields could pull a Roaf on us and retire. Wiegmans old and Turleys a joke.

Why don't you just

until you know what is going on. Turley was cut a long time ago.

Then why can't we get Jared Allen signed, not sure I want LJ around longer but get him locked up long term like SF did with Frank Gore. You don't have to throw the money at trash like Bartee.

By the way I will admit that it is now too late to be getting any quality.

Maybe because Allen wants way more than he is worth investing in?

Possibly true.
