Who's QB situation is worse KC's or OAKLAND?

[OctoberFart]

KC has a proven guy who isn't a starter in Huard, Croyle, and Mashpotatoe brain 37 year old Green. I think Green is the best option for them.

Oak= Nothing on the roster even worth talking about and maybe Jamarcus Russel.

I would take Russel over KC's QB's.

[HolmeZz]

The Raiders have won 15 games in the last 4 years. Suck it hard, Troll.

Yeah, kinda crazy huh? LT & AG go a long way in that picture though. There is a rookie or two in the West who could end up being a better pure than Rivers in the next year or two IMHO.

What's that? Don't say Huard because all he has done in his career is prove he isn't a starter. I hope the Green to Oak rumors aren't true.

I agree, I think both Cutler and Croyle could be better. Russell has the talent but being Oakland will screw him over.

Croyle? The only thing anyone knows about this guy is he is fragile. What has this guy shown you (other than he is a chef and you view him through homer glasses) that he will be a good QB?

If you mean with other teams ill agree. Hes backed up some good QB's. Hes proved he can win, even if he has to pull it out of his ass, with this team thats all that matters. Therefore we have SOMETHING to fall back on.

[stlchiefs]

Oakland's. Whoever they draft is going to be the QB of the Raiders, that alone puts them in the bottom 1/3 of the league.

[kcxiv]

I would take Russell over what we have too, but we dont have to lose 12 game in order to get a good pick. Chiefs may not be successful in the play offs, but they never hit rock bottom either.

I am not a firm believer in tanking a season to get a draft pick. I am on the you always have to play your best players and play your hardest regardless of record. I dont like giving up on a season.

[Mecca]

Exactly.

[Direckshun]

I have faith in Croyle but I can't help but believe he's a system QB. Get him a solid OL and he should be something good.

I honestly Philip Rivers is the AFC's Rex Grossman. He plays on a baby-proofed team. You can only give so many games away when you have an elite team surrounding you.

Cutler's got the most promise out of all the young starters in the AFC West. He doesn't have unlimited talent but it is considerable nonetheless, and as the rookie mistakes subside he'll be a solid pro, might even crank out a Pro Bowl.

The Raiders... ugh. They have to pick Russell. They have no choice. They have to pick somebody talented, big, and strong, because he's going to have at least two seasons in the near future where he's going to get pulverized. If they don't draft Russell, you can count on two more gimme's on the Chiefs' schedule this year.

I didn't say anything about Cutler either but he has shown something where Croyle has thrown what maybe one pass for a pick. Rivers has done a lot more than Croyle and your homerism is saying Croyle will be better. Now I wonder if that is how you would feel if the teams were switched...bam Rivers would be the next best thing since sliced bread if he put those numbers up for the queefs.

[Logical]

KC's Oakland is about to draft a franchise QB that should be a superstud. KC is about to rely on a QBOF who has been injury prone and is a stick man.

[edit] Professional career
On April 29, 2006, the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Croyle in the third round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Croyle saw few snaps his rookie season and played in only 2 games. His passer rating was 11.9, having completed only 3 of 7 passes for 23 yards including 2 interceptions. Brodie Croyle is suppposed to obtain the back-up role this season regardless of who the starter will become.

[Logical]

Al Davis will ruin JaMarcus Bustell just like he ruins every decent player that goes through Oakland.Oh yes Daryl Lamonica AFL All pro 3 timers, Ken Stabler All pro 2 times, Jim Plunkett Super Bowl MVP and also Gannon, yes he ruins them all.:rolleyes:

hmmm, I think he proved us all wrong that he is starter material, 11 Td and 1 int is pretty good numbers. No, they are not pro bowl or league MVP numbers, but he won some games and he finished #2 in passer rating. I'm not saying that he is a great QB or anything, but he played really f'ing good for us last season and to take that away from him is just stupid

As for this, I'm not deflecting anything. I think anyone remotely objective, knowledgeable, and honest would find an 88.5 qb rating and a 2-3 record IN HIS FIRST FIVE GAMES, still IN HIS ROOKIE SEASON, to be very suggestive that Cutler is going to be a winner.

"The question has come on almost a daily basis in this current Chiefs off-season: can Brodie Croyle play?

The answer is simple: nobody knows. The Chiefs sure don’t, since his playing time was minimal and his practice time was limited during his rookie season. So at worst, he’s right where he was at this time of the year 12 months ago: a third-round pick with potential."

Both quotes were direct refutations of the original idiots assertation that Croyle is too fragile and frail to be an NFL QB.

No Chief fan here has said that Croyle will be a good NFL QB. And he has legitimate injury concerns.

But the idea that he's too SMALL to play QB is pure bunk.

[orange]

Alright. Here's my position on the Chiefs QB situation.

You draft a QB, you give him a year to show something. This is typical.
Brodie Croyle HAD his year. He showed nothing. The Chiefs are going to make him the defacto starter based on what? Mike Shula's recommendation?
They give him this season to make or break. I'm saying IMO he doesn't have it. What if I'm right? Do the Chiefs draft another QB in 2008? Does he sit for a year and then get HIS tryout in 2009? Are the Chiefs committed to 3 YEARS of crappy QB play?

I think there needs to be a Plan B. The Chiefs need to draft or trade for a real QBOTF. IMO, Croyle has already blown his tryout.

[Iowanian]

The Autumn Wind is a buttPirate.....

Croyle has yet to prove anything, Cutler hasn't proven he's going to be a good QB, but has shown flashes and Rivers isn't particularly impressive. Walter sucks, and Oakland is HOPING thier draft pick isn't the next Akili Smith.

2 sentences in, you establish your position.

2 sentences later, you manage to completely shit yourself.

It's absolutely true that you have to give a new QB time to show something. But you're assertion that Brodie got that chance LAST YEAR is borderline Mongoloid. He spent the year as the #3 and observing. If the Chiefs were smart, they would have done with him what the Broncos did with Cutler, but alas, we're not that lucky.

So now we go into next season starting the Brodie Croyle Experiment. If you're right (and you won't be) the Chiefs will be poised to pick a QB in the top 10 of the 2008 draft.

It's as simple as that.

[orange]

He spent the year down the depth chart because he didn't earn a promotion. If he had sizzled in preseason, he wouldn't have been #3.

He would have been #2, and as it turns out, he would have gotten a lot of playing time.

And the Chiefs would know what they have.

He spent the year down the depth chart because we have an ultra-conservative front office. Playing rookies doesn't run in the Chiefs' blood. Even if Herm HAD wanted to do this last year, Carl Peterson wouldn't have let him.

It took some serious gut checks to get to the point this offseason where they're willing to admit that stop-gap, aging veterans isn't the answer anymore.

Remember Croyle had to sit out quite a bit of the training camp with a nagging injury. If he had been able to get the reps in TC last season, he very well may have been the #2 guy. Once the season starts, I would guess it is pretty rare to move a guy from #3 to #2. I know it happens once in a while, but where Huard took over the #1 in the 1st game of the season, that thinking probably went out the window for the Chiefs.

Brodie Croyle failed to "hit" above the "Blackledge Line."

Carl Peterson was hired in 1989.

Todd Blackledge was drafted in 1983.

It's referred to as "The Google".

Worst pick of Carl's career.

ROFL

So why did you say it was the worst pick of Peterson's career?

I guess you're not an expert on the Chiefs, either.

Remember Croyle had to sit out quite a bit of the training camp with a nagging injury. If he had been able to get the reps in TC last season, he very well may have been the #2 guy. Once the season starts, I would guess it is pretty rare to move a guy from #3 to #2. I know it happens once in a while, but where Huard took over the #1 in the 1st game of the season, that thinking probably went out the window for the Chiefs.


This is a good observation. I'm sorry I missed it during my running debate, Coogs.

One thing, though. Croyle is a player with a history of injuries in college - that's why he dropped to the third round. He comes to the NFL and is immediately missing action with injuries.

That is at least a red flag, isn't it? Aren't the injuries part of the package?

Sorry man, my extreme sarcasm was lost on you. Let me explain:

Carl Peterson is an UBER-villain here on Chiefsplanet. He's to blame for EVERYTHING. It got to the point where people started blaming stuff on him that he couldn't have possibly had a hand in, like drafting Todd Blackledge 5 years before he even worked for the Chiefs.

The "Carl drafted Blackledge" thing has become an urban legend of such epic proportions here that it even got added to the infamous Chiefsplanet Lexicon.

Seriously, you seem like an alright dude. As a Donk fan, you seem to fit more in the Mile High Mania group than the AboveAverage group. I'm not gonna bust your balls anymore because you seem cool. Just be aware that if you're gonna talk shit around here, be prepared to back it up. Some of us here are more prodigiously well-researched than Rufus Dawes.

[HemiEd]

What about the past 5 years fool.

[Bowser]

Wow. A Raider fan talking smack. I feel sorry for him, really.

[StcChief]

QB situation - Raiders. will the 1st round pick start ?
or Walters again. :rolleyes:

I don't recall what his injury was, but it was a minor thing. Pulled muscle or something that they just didn't want to rush him back. None the less, it kept him out of camp for a couple of weeks.

[crazycoffey]

Please refer to him as Jay-sus Cutler from now on.


ROFL:clap:

I think the laughing smilie shows he was being sarcastic and that you are an idiot.......:hmmm:

[OctoberFart]

This question is easy to answer now.

Culpepper (who I don't care for) is better than both KC Qb's.

Russell who hasn't done jack will still be better than Croyle.

Croyle seems very consistent and probably will have multiple 20 INT years. He has to be averaging 1 INT a game.

Jamarcus Russell isn't even a Raider at this point.

[ChiefsfaninPA]

And from what I hear doesn't want to be either. But hey, that is what the REGULAR season is for. I get the feeling Autumnwind won't be around as much then.

[mlyonsd]

I don't have an answer but I'd like to see Printers get some preseason time with the 1st team offense.

[HolmeZz]

Russell should re-enter the draft so we can pick him 1st next year. ;)

[kstater]

I didn't say anything about Brodie Croyle. Nice try.

And I find it interesting that you're trying to use stats to DEFLECT from my point:

Jay Cutler finished his Vanderbilt career with 11 wins and 34 losses.

He started his Bronco career 2-3.

Once again, he hasn't done ANYTHING YET to suggest that he can win consistently.


At the risk of bringing up this quote before this season, I never knew Cutler had that bad of record at Vandy. Do you know if that was games he played, or Vandy's record for his four years?

[HolmeZz]

Eh. You can't blame Cutler for that. Vanderbilt doesn't have the overall talent to compete in the SEC. He did almost knock off Florida if I remember correctly.

F*ck that! If we're going to suck bad enough for a high pick draft choice at QB I'd rather have Brian Brohm than that dumb as a box of rocks Russell. :shake:

Brohm's overrated if you think he's an elite quarterback prospect. Nothing eye-popping about his college statistics and he's played about 2% of his games against top quality teams. He also shat the bed in that Rutgers game last year. He's decent in that he doesn't make too many bad decisions and doesn't turn the ball over. Not in the same league with Jamarcus as far as talent though.

[Eleazar]

I preferred the "Vermeil drafted Lawrence Phillips" urban legend.

[dj56dt58]

**** drafting another qb...how about a tackle that can give him a couple seconds to read the defense and throw the ball

[Logical]

Not sure whose is worse, is there really any point in comparing degrees of f*cking awful when it comes to offense?


I think short term the Raiders have it better.

NOT. The Fade (who are the Chiefs bitches BTW) don't have Larry Johnson.

[DaneMcCloud]

At this point, I'd easily take Daunte over Damon. Culpepper has about one million times the ability of Huard and when healthy, he has been excellent quarterback.

As much as I'd like to see Huard be an excellent QB, to this point, he's been mediocre at best.

Croyle has a long, long, long road to travel before he's in either category.

[RedThat]

Who's QB situation is worse KC or Oakland?

Ummm, if you want to generally speak like right right right now, KC has a better QB situation then Oakland.

I say this, because Jamarcus Russell is not yet signed, and Daunte Culpepper has a chance to rejuvenate himself in Oakland, but I really don't think he is the same QB after he had re-constructive knee surgery.

So in Oakland you have a QB who is unsigned, and possibly an injury prone QB? Advantage KC.

[Ugly Duck]

I'd rather have Brian Brohm than that dumb as a box of rocks Russell. :shake:

Croyle scored exactly the same on the Wonderlic as Russell did.

[CHIEF4EVER]

Croyle scored exactly the same on the Wonderlic as Russell did.

Except Russell hasn't signed with the Fade (automatic 10 point boost). BTW, is your owner going to be starring in "Tales of the Crypt, Elvis Edition"?

Huard only had NINE fumbles last year. He would have needed 4 or 5 more to be as "good" as Daunte Culpepper. :rolleyes:
