Huard takes the helm as Chiefs QB in opener, seeking to dispel doubts

By BILL REITER

Some fans are jittery about Damon Huard being the Chiefs’ No. 1 quarterback. “I don’t worry about it,” he says. “I can’t. I have too much else to worry about.”

The second-highest-rated quarterback in the NFL rolled up to Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday in his black Escalade — a reminder that he doesn’t drive a minivan to practice anymore.

This was the week Damon Huard had waited for his entire career. In just a few days, the 34-year-old journeyman would open the season as a starter for the first time.

This was supposed to be a coronation. In last January’s playoff game, Chiefs fans had bruised their lungs and banged their TV sets screaming for Huard, the savior of 2006, to be inserted in the second half.

Now, on the doorstep of a new season, Kansas City had its man. Except that, well, no one other than Huard seemed all that excited anymore.

“I’m great,” Huard said as he boarded a stadium elevator. “I’m just great.”

Elsewhere, confidence was not high, and the qualifiers were already coming out. Was Huard really going to open as the Chiefs’ No. 1 quarterback? Could anyone picture him finishing there?

“You can look at how he got the starting job a lot of ways — did he win it, did he get it by default?” said Chiefs president/general manager Carl Peterson. “This veteran quarterback earned his chance to start in 2007 … with what he did for us (in 2006).”

“He’s going to be in a position where they’ll have to win some games early,” said commentator, friend and former quarterback Dan Marino, “or he may not be able to keep that job.”

“Most seem to view Damon Huard as a stopgap quarterback at best,” said Chris Thorman, who runs the Chiefs blog www.arrowheadpride.com. “Brodie Croyle is the quarterback of the future. That cancels Damon Huard out of the equation.”

Even the ultimate judge of a player’s individual talent — the fantasy football draft — seemed to be disrespecting Huard’s skills. Mock drafts and cheat sheets showed him near the bottom for quarterback rankings and picks.

All of this had to be eating him up, right?

“I-I-I-I’m f-i-i-i-ne,” Huard said, his voice quaking and body shaking as the elevator ticked up two floors. “I’m a lit-t-t-t-t-t-le nervous. There’s a g-g-g-g-game a-g-g-g-ainst Hou-s-s-ton this weekend.”

Suddenly, the tremors stopped. Huard laughed and got off.

He was joking.

Sort of.

You should work in his Hard Knocks quote somehow.

"Dan Marino once said to me 'You think there's pressure? Well, there is.'"

When Huard wins a Super Bowl this season, everybody will be thinking how epic that picture is, not how gay.

That's the only thing that would be able to remove the gay that permeates this pic.

From reading this board he scares at least a few Chiefs fans.

Sad, but true. Our offense has become a national joke since that Indy playoff debacle.

I am pretty sure it was a joke before the 2003 playoff game...

Debacle is what the 2007 playoff game was, not so much in 03. at least we knew what a game plan was...

Scares the absolute crap out of me... There is nothing about Huard that gives me confidence or HOPE for the future or this season.. Not just this year but 3-5 years down the road...


All Aboard the 9-7 Express to nowhere...

It doesn't ****ing matter.

We suck then, we suck now.

No amount of sucking Dick is going to change the fact that his teams sucked every bit as much as this team.

Defensively, we DIDN'T have a gameplan in 03.

GROB changed it 100 times during the week.
