QB by Committee?
Two QBs will see action against Oakland?
Veteran Damon Huard gets the nod against the Raiders, but 24-year-old Tyler Thigpen should see plenty of action as well. "He'll get to play. Whether he starts, we'll determine that," Chiefs coach Herman Edwards said of Thigpen. "But he is going to play. You don't have to worry about that." Huard has stepped in before and had some success. He went 5-3 as a starter in 2006, throwing 11 touchdowns and one interception in relief of Trent Green. Last season, he started 10 games as Croyle battled injuries. "There are some things we do offensively that Tyler and Brodie do very well," Edwards said. "There are some things Damon can do that offsets what they do. When Tyler plays, it's a little bit different than when Damon plays." Maybe this is how we keep the bootlegs and sprint outs in the game plan? |

i really dont understand why people are so upset about this. you might as well see what we have with Thigpen, who knows maybe we will see a different QB since he would be playing with the first string

we all were thinking that 2008 was a 20 game preseason, looks like the Chiefs are thinking that too.

They should re-invent the Option around Thigpen.

Thigpen will be in there to war-game Brodie's plays. Huard will be in there to actually score TDs.

This is Herm, telling all the fans to expect Huard to get injured.
Thigpen has been a disaster in the preseason. Makes no sense if the plan is to "win the game". |

I cannot recall this strategy working anywhere at any time except against weak teams in the regular season.

I hope Huard gets hurt.. not seriously, but enough to come off the field so Thigpen or Martin can emerge.

If Herm's promising that Thigpen "will play." Then we don't need Huard hurt. Thigpen will still get the opportunity to step up. And more power to him! But I'm not feeling good about this...

Platooning QBs has been tried in the NFL, but I can't recall any recent experiments. Old timers like me may remember the Lynn Dickey/Dan Pastorini QBbC on the old Houston Oilers.
