Huard is underappreciated

[RedThat]

I've noticed that here.

People here bash him. Why?

The guy ain't the most talented QB, but have you noticed he's stepped up and took charge when he's had to? And that counts more than anything? Not the stats. He has held things together and kept this offense from caving in.

I give him credit he has taken chicken crap and made chicken salad. Making the most out of his opportunities. When you're offensive line is this bad and you're still making plays to help your team win games that is something you want out of your QB. But I didn't expect that out of Huard. He's made plays under pressure. That's a good sign. You guys should appreciate that.

He has some mental toughness in him, and I think is a bit of a leader. I see it in the games.

Im sure we all know Huard isn't the guy who we are going to depend on to win games for us? But he has chipped in with his share. Combine that with a good defense, and we have something. I think he's played a good role on this team.

I know Croyle is being looked upon as the QBOTF, but Huard is solid.

[MTG#10]

I have nothing personal against Huard, he's taking advantage of his opportunity like anyone would. But he sucks and we need to see what Croyle can do, end of story.

[Molitoth]

Another thread that makes me wanna puke.

[txd60060]

This needed it's own thread? It couldn't have gone in any one of the 487 other Huard sucks/rules threads?

[RedThat]

I think it's a bad idea to put a young QB in a tough tough situation.

when your O-line sucks and you have no running game that's tough for any young QB in this league.

[Simply Red]

Back to the basics. The `O` line has a lot to do with his success or failure. If nobody can see that or refuses to admit that; It's just ignorant to me. Time to take off the Superman underoos.

[Deberg_1990]

Hes not awful, that much is clear.

But he doesnt score points and get his team into the endzone either. Thats a QB's main job.

Obviously, Carl and Herm think differently, so it doesnt matter what we think.

[Brock]

Well, there's something that hasn't been said about 1000 times.

[Hammock Parties]

Who does he think he is? That coach has tangled with the wrong man! No one says "no" to Damon!

Heh heh. Darn right.

Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly Humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear.

More beer?

What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.

Who, you? Never! Damon, you've got to pull yourself together.


Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Damon
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to be you, Damon
Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're everyone's favorite guy
Everyone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see whyyyyyyyyyyyy

No one's slick as Damon
No one's quick as Damon
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Damon's

For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon!
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on



No one's been like Damon
A king pin like Damon


No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Damon!


As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!


My what a guy, that Damon
Give five "hurrahs!"
Give twelve "hip-hips!"


Damon is the best
And the rest is all drips

No one fights like Damon
Douses lights like Damon


In a wrestling match nobody bites like Damon!


For there's no one as burly and brawny


As you see I've got biceps to spare


Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny


That's right!
And every last inch of me's covered with hair


No one hits like Damon


Matches wits like Damon


In a spitting match nobody spits like Damon!


I'm especially good at expectorating!
Ptoooie!


Ten points for Damon

When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge!


No one shoots like Damon
Makes those beauts like Damon


Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Damon


I use antlers in all of my decorating!


Say it again
Who's a man among men?
And then say it once more
Who's the hero next door?
Who's a super success?
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
There's just one guy in town who's got all of it down


And his name's D-A-M...
D-A-M-I...
D-A-M-O-

oh!

DAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

That was my stance at the beginning of the year, but our O-line has been pass blocking better than I expected, and the receivers arent dropping passes like I expected so I think its a good time to bring Croyle in.

[Hammock Parties]

They WERE pass blocking better. The last few weeks have been AWFUL. We're among the worst teams in the league in sacks per pass attempt, and that's even with Damon getting rid of the ball quickly.

[Eleazar]

This is the kind of offense you'd expect to see a guy like him quarterbacking.

God I hope you don't think you're Belle.

[StcChief]

but the 'great Karnak' Hootie loves him and that's all we need.

[Oh Snap]

nope.. huard jus sucks.

[beach tribe]

Huard catches a lot of grief he doesn't deserve, because he shouldn't be starting.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I think Damon is the best QB in the NFL! He'll just never have a chance to prove it because he has no supporting cast.

[Reerun_KC]

He isn't a threat to go down field. Dumps off before he makes his reads... Will throw to LJ in the flats while covered vs throw to a wide open HOF TE in the end zone.

Folds like a cheap lawn chair, very limited mobility, super soaker for an arm and zero down field accuracy.

I cant see why anyone would be thrilled that he is behind center?

He certainly takes a lot of the fun out of the game day experience that is for sure...


Croyle cant hurt this offense anymore than Huard already is... At least Croyle has upside and youth on his side.

[Reerun_KC]

Huard catches a lot of grief he doesn't deserve, because he shouldn't be starting.


Very good point Beach Tribe...

[Simplex3]

RedBull,

Look at it this way. At least your mom isn't under-appreciated.

[Hammock Parties]

God I hope you don't think you're Belle.

I am LeFou.

[RedThat]

RedBull,

Look at it this way. At least your mom isn't under-appreciated.

Why would you say that for?

Im talking about Damon Huard here. So what does my mother have to do with this conversation?

What are you trying to do by saying that?

Herm is doing so well reerun has shifted his negative focus to Huard.

HOW CUTE!

I'm turning over a new leaf. From now on when anyone starts a thread about Hutard I'm going to launch straight into talking about their mom.

Note to self: CPIggy needs a feature to do word replacement...

[BigMeatballDave]

I give him credit for having the leagues best noodle arm.

[beach tribe]

I give him credit for having the leagues best noodle arm.
I'm not a Huard advocate, but noodle arms don't throw 60yrd(Through the air) passes. Huards arm is not the problem. he only makes one read and then dumps. If anyone has proof otherwise, I'm open to correction.

[Extra Point]

With an unhealing hole in the O-Line, it's tough to make the first read. Huard had to fight and get out of the pocket to heave to D-Bowe last game.

Bringing Croyle into the fire will only burn him. Let Huard get beaten up, so the O-Line and O-Line Coach can finally make necessary adjustments.

Croyle's time will come, soon enough.

:clap: Thank you.

[jollymon]

It is actually Chiefs standard procedure to dislike/hate our quarterback no matter who or how talented he is or isn't. :D

It took Trent Green about 20 starts to win over the fan base. Huard has only had 15. I suspect in about five games, when we are 8-4, there will be a whole lot of Huard supporters.

[Hammock Parties]

Yes, his arm is part of the problem.

I know one thing - I haven't seen passes falling at the feet of receivers this year. That was a Trent Green trademark.

[Hootie]

people are in too deep and resent us way too much for that to happen...

[Hootie]

Yeah but Trent made great reads and targeted Samie Parker more often than Tony Gonzalez!

[Molitoth]

I'd rather target Parker downfield then Bigfoot.

[Hootie]

I'd rather target Parker downfield then Bigfoot.
Debatable.

[Molitoth]

It doesn't matter what happens in a few more games, the people who want a mediocre QB leading our mediocre offense into a first round playoff loss will still be here as well as the people who want more.

[penguinz]

I know one thing - I haven't seen passes falling at the feet of receivers this year. That was a Trent Green trademark.No, you just see them sail high so that the receiver has to put themselves at risk trying to catch them.

[beach tribe]

Get over yourself. It's not about you.

[Hootie]

It doesn't matter what happens in a few more games, the people who want a mediocre QB leading our mediocre offense into a first round playoff loss will still be here as well as the people who want more.
You think we don't want to see the Chiefs win a Super Bowl?

Just because we'd rather see the more capable QB in the game that can lead us to wins rather than meltdowns doesn't mean we don't want to see success for the franchise.

What a ridiculous correlation. Croyle playing this year doesn't suddenly mean we are better than the Patriots next year, or the year after.

[Hootie]

Get over yourself. It's not about you.
Debatable.

[beach tribe]

Yes, his arm is part of the problem.
With all due respect sir, I asked for proof not opinion. Throwing wobblers is mechanics, not arm strength.

How do you know? You haven't seen him play in the real season with the starters...

Ow wait, you have... and he's taken them downfield for a score.

We just want to know dude, we just want to know.
We know what we have with Haurd.

[penguinz]

With all due respect sir, I asked for proof not opinion. Throwing wobblers is mechanics, not arm strength.It is also a sign of lacking arm strength. If you try to put that little extra into it in order to throw it harder than you normally do it is going to look like Huard's trademarked wobbler.

[Chiefnj2]

Huard is part of the problem. The offense HAS caved in. The Chiefs are 28th in points. That sucks.

[Reerun_KC]

With all due respect sir, I asked for proof not opinion. Throwing wobblers is mechanics, not arm strength.
And due respect back to you, but most of us are ready for this nightmare to end....

every Sunday he starts is like waking up next to Rosanne Barr before the game... It just makes you sick...

And yes his lack of arm strength and ability to go down the field consistently with any accuracy is killing the chiefs offense....

28th in points has a lot to do with Huard...

[Deberg_1990]

but Huard is solid.

Wake me when he wins a playoff game or a Pro Bowl.

I love Croyle. Which is why I don't want to ruin the boy.
Until we get a running game, and CONSISTENT protection, I support Huard with all a fan can give.

[Reerun_KC]

Fair enough... Cant argue that, but what makes you think that Croyle couldnt relieve some of the issues facing this offense with his ability to roll out, throw on the run with accuracy? The whole offense changes when Croyle comes in... They have the ability to call more plays.

Just wondering?

[Reerun_KC]

Wake me when he wins a playoff game or a Pro Bowl.


but but but, Trent Green never won a playoff game... You know the guy that went to multiple probowls....

so Huard has to be the chosen one now....

[Hammock Parties]

Man...if Huard wins a playoff game this year...this place will go nuts.

[Hammock Parties]

The whole offense changes when Croyle comes in...

Yes, it becomes a turnover fest.

[Deberg_1990]

Man...if Huard wins a playoff game this year...this place will go nuts.

The CHiefs are not going to win a playof game.

[Fish]

Yes, it becomes a turnover fest.

Huard still has more INTs than TDs...... he is making your argument less credible each game....

[BigMeatballDave]

Yes, it becomes a turnover fest.How many TOs did he commit in Chicago and against Jax? Yes, I know those were brief appearances, but as far as you're concerned, he will ooze ints.

[BigMeatballDave]

Huard still has more INTs than TDs...... he is making your argument less credible each game....Hey. You are presenting facts. No fair...

[Hammock Parties]

Huard still has more INTs than TDs...... he is making your argument less credible each game....

Man how many times do I have to go over this crap?

Huard has only thrown five interceptions this year. Two of them are credited to Jeff Webb and Dwayne Bowe.

Of the five legit picks for which HUARD can be blamed, two came in garbage time - at the end of the Jacksonville game, another at the end of the Houston game.

The other three interceptions - San Diego, Chicago, Oakland - were costly. But that's three costly turnovers in seven games. That is completely acceptable.

If you want to throw in his fumble against Minnesota, please go right ahead. That's four costly turnovers. But the bottom line is that Huard is not making too many mistakes. Croyle has proven he has an elite ability to do that.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Huard still has more INTs than TDs...... he is making your argument less credible each game....

It was the wind, The OL, Solari, Herm, Bigfoot, Webb and Bill Belichick's fault that Damon has more INT's than TD's.

Haven't you been paying attention, Fish?

These guys were crucifying Croyle for averaging an INT per game in the PS, while playing behind the second string line and 3rd string WR's, but when the shoe is on the other foot, look out.

We've beaten three 2-5 teams.

We've lost to two 3-5 teams.

If I may quote Mr. Winston Wolf:

"Let's not start sucking each other's ***** just yet."

[beach tribe]

When the man gets his shot, I hope they keep it simple AT FIRST, using his ARM to succeed. When was the last time you saw this team call a bootleg. Maybe a good Idea down the line. I want to see them utilize his rocket, not his legs, and then make something happen on the run when he HAS TO. Not every other time he drops back. More Brett Farve, Less Jake plummer.

[Hammock Parties]

Against the Raiders...

More deflections than a pinball machine.....

Croyle hasn't proven shit. That's the problem.

The entire team played like shit in the preseason, including Captain Checkdown.

[Molitoth]

If Huard comes around to playing Pro-Bowl caliper in the playoffs, then I will jump on his wagon and admit that I was a Huard Hater switching sides. But for now he is playing like 2girls1cup and I don't wish to see it

[beach tribe]

Against the Raiders...
I don't doubt you, but I don't remember it, how bout a gif of Huard scramblin.

I'm backing Huard. Still think he's decent. NOT probowl, but better than Dilfer. NO I'm not saying our D is 2000 ravens good. just that Huard is similar to Dilfer.

[the Talking Can]

ROFL

I swear to God he's twice faked injuries this year when the world has collapsed on him. If he hasn't faked them, he's milked minor boo-boos just to get out of the game.

[BigChiefFan]

I don't know what to say-some people really wear rose-colored glasses. The Chiefs are Carl's problem, this man has been getting a free pass for 15 years now.

[Iowanian]

Huard is terrible. He's aweful. He sucks. He is/was the worst starting QB in the nfl this year.

[jjjayb]

Too bad it took 9 frigging games for Herm to figure it out.
