2 Preseason Games in - Who's your starter?

[Reerun_KC]

Well what you think?

How about a nice little poll?

[OnTheWarpath15]

Croyle.

Not even close.

[chiefbowe82]

Huard

[boogblaster]

Croyle probably..Printers out-played both tonite..

Printers reminds me of Mike Vick :)

[DMAC]

Croyle

[Bowser]

Ask again when we actually sign Ty Law.

With or without the dogs?

[Fish]

Croyle.

Huard has a backup attitude...

[chiefbowe82]

With or without the dogs?
either

[ChiTown]

Is death an option? Seriously......

[Mr. Arrowhead]

The Future is NOW!!

[SLAG]

Printers then Croyle

[noa]

Croyle.

I have no illusions. If he's our starter, we will have a losing season and things will be ugly. But I think the dividends will be much higher than a season with Huard at the helm and Croyle on the sidelines.

[HemiEd]

I am pretty excited about the potential Brodie represents.

[Deberg_1990]

What about that Kid from Princeton? He looked pretty good on Hard Knocks.

[Mr. Kotter]

Go for the youth. And, more than likely, a better draft position next year (I'd be happy to be wrong about it.)

Go, Brodie. :thumb:

[The Franchise]

Croyle then Printers then Huard

[talastan]

Croyle!!! Defintely will be a tough year this season, but with a couple of key additions in the OL from the draft, we'll be well on our way!! :)

[Tribal Warfare]

Brodie Croyle should be the starter, F*CK St. Huard

[Coogs]

Personally, I think the choice for the team is easy... Croyle.

The Super Bowl this season for the Chiefs is a long shot at best. There is at least 1 franchise QB in next years draft in Brohm. Time to find out if Croyle is the answer or not. If he is, we can draft a LT in round 1. If not, Brohm is the early favorite for our #1 pick next year.

[Chiefnj2]

There is no reason to start Huard. Unless you are a head coach that is deathly afraid of interceptions.

[the Talking Can]

Croyle


no contest

[FAX]

Hmmm. And who might that be?

[The Herald]

If I'd have to pick a regular season starter now... Croyle. Otherwise, I'd like to see more of Casey Printers.

[Deberg_1990]

There is no reason to start Huard. Unless you are a head coach that is deathly afraid of interceptions.

Or a GM on his last leg scared of losing a few consession sales on Sundays...

[go bo]

croyle...

he's a rook trying to learn the pro game...

he'll make mistakes, lots of them...

but he will develop much faster playing than he would holding a clipboard on the sidelines...

l ike the way the kid carries himself...

he's gonna be a keeper...

[ClevelandBronco]

I saw the second poll first, so I'll repost in the first poll secondly:

Croyle if you get LJ back with the team. Huard if LJ holds out.

You can afford to get Huard killed. You don't want to do that with Croyle. I love that kid's arm and his potential, at least as much of it as I've seen.

[TinyEvel]

Based on tonight, Croyle.
Though, I'm nervous that it'll be like that one stumpy area in the lake where you caught that nice bass that one time and so you keep going back there, but...nothing.

If the kid stays healthy and has enough talent around to support and protect him he'll be on his way. Part of supporting him is to get the attention off of him, though, and LJ is going to be essential to that equation, IMO.

[luv]

Definitely NOT Huard. Brodie came in and changed the atmosphere. Printers rocked tonight as well.

[BWillie]

If you make a poll, at least don't make it obviously biased to start with.

[Brando]

How about Croyle...an awful record and then the selection of Brian Brohm next year in the draft?

[Zeke Ziggle]

How about Croyle...an awful record and then the selection of Brian Brohm next year in the draft?

Cause that's what we need two injury prone QBOTF. Croyle should start. but if he's that horrible that we draft another then we should go colt brennan.

[htismaqe]

If forced to choose between Brennan and Brohm, I think I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon.

I'd rather see us draft a kid from BCS conference, somebody who has experience more real competition in college. But that's just me.

[htismaqe]

The fans clamoring for Huard plays right into Carl Peterson's hands.

He doesn't want Croyle to start, because it's the one thing, in 18 years, he HAS NOT DONE. As long as he puts it off, he can always use that as an excuse at his annual review.

"Well, Clark, we haven't ever developed our own starting QB, gimme 4 more years."

The time is NOW.

If Croyle succeeds, we win.

If he fails, we also WIN, because Carl has finally run out of excuses.

[HonestChieffan]

Croyle till we find a QB

Poll might seemed skewed?

:)

I am going to the Croyle wagon but stating 3 years is :hmmm:

Only if Huard performs for 2 years.

:hmmm:

Give Croyle this year, if it doesn't work, draft another one.

We may have to man up and (gulp) pick one in the first round even.

wow, a whole year huh?

i say we give him 3 games, then cut his ass and sign Vick

I'm glad you find it funny. I don't.

I'm tired of spinning our wheels in mediocrity year after year. We FINALLY have the opportunity to do something different and the fans want to fall into lockstep with CARL PETERSON and start yet another backup from another team.

[Jilly]

so, I've been wondering, maybe this in another thread but:
was Croyle's performance:

a. based on the sudden risk play calling making him look better and setting him up to be the starter
b. or was the different play calling based on the fact that Huard doesn't as much have the ability to throw bombs down field
c. or was the difference in play calling just a realization that things weren't working before and it just so happened to coincide with Croyle's being put in the game?

[htismaqe]

It was all a setup. The coaching staff set Huard up to fail by forcing him to make throws he can't make, like a screen pass.

[Chief Henry]

I would like to see Printers with the first string off. line myself. Lets see what he does. Printers sure didn't hurt himself last night. I cant see Huard or Croyle escaping 4 to 6 sacks per game like Printers can. Our Off. line is looking like a pasta strainer.

Someone mention'd Printers looking like Vick. I thought the same thing. Printers has the ability to create an escape sacks.

That tight end named ALlen impressed the hell out of me too.

[Chiefnj2]

Why do you think there was a dramatic difference in playcalling with the QB's?

Seems like he understand the collapse of the pocket. And his fumbling issues...you're right..I'd like to see what he could do with the kind of coverage he would have with first string. We have yet to even see that or know what he would be like with that.

[htismaqe]

Why do you think there was a dramatic difference in playcalling with the QB's?

1) Because there's a dramatic difference in the passes they can throw. They called a bootleg with Croyle almost immediately, which Huard can't run.

2) Because the two QB's need to prove different things. They already know what Huard can do, they're trying to get him reps with things he's struggled with, like completing a 3-yard screen pass.

[BigRedChief]

okay, I've seen enough to get on board with Brodie. Yeah we are going to see alot of plays like last night. Brilliant drive and then the next one we see a "What the hell was he thinking" throw.

My understanding of the maturation of an NFL QB is that what we saw last night is just part of the process for a young QB to reach the reliable and productive NFL QB that we all want to see.

Donks, Faders and the Bolts all have or will be grooming young QB's. If Herm believes that Croyle is the KC QOTF I'm all in too. Play him and let the chips fall where they may. 6-10, 2-12 whatever. As long as he gets better and the mistakes happen less often and we see signs of the brilliance to come, I'm on board.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Exactly.

Like giving Croyle the pump-and-go route that the Miami defender made a hell of a play on. Less of a frozen rope and more air under the ball, and that's a huge play.

Huard attempts that pass.....INT.

[Buehler445]

Croyle. Period.
