Huard Starting = good for Chiefs

[KCJohnny]

Everyone's bemoaning a Huard start, but its probably a good thing vs SD. Last meeting with SD Huard rallied the Chiefs on the road from a 16-6 haltime deficit to a 30-16 victory. Huard's stat line was pretty healthy:

17 of 29 for 284 yards and 2 TDs. He found Bowe 8x for 164 yards.Its hardly a bad idea to play Huard when he threw for 284 yards ON THE ROAD vs SD.:arrow:

[RealSNR]

Right now a majority of Chiefs fans are only watching the games to watch Brodie Croyle (hopefully) develop into a great starting QB. It's exciting, and if the Chiefs win, so much the better.

Putting Huard in makes for a boring game to watch with really nothing exciting for the fans. It's a borefest.

Let's just end this "Huard starting is good" crap.

[the Talking Can]

yes, it good for the Chiefs to have the QB they are trying to develop on the bench injured behind a piece of shit career backup...

most teams prefer to rebuild with their QBOTF injured and not playing....

It's cool I'll laugh like I did the last game he played. It's freakin comedy central with this guy :) ie humor is good, Huard is not. Fetal never gets old.

[keg in kc]

Huard should have been benched at halftime in that game. He was 6-13 for 98 yards and a pick, and we were down 16-6 largely because of him. Norv Turner runs LT at all in the second half and we get blown out.

Huard threw a second pick in the 4th quarter with the game on the line (Chiefs were up 23-16 at the time), but fortunately 3 plays later DJ forced a Rivers fumble and Brackenridge went 50 yards to score.

The defense (and particularly DJ) won that game. DJ picked Rivers in the third quarter, with the Chiefs down 16-9, giving the offense the ball on the Chargers' 36. Then the afore-mentioned sack-and-strip and Brackenridge TD to probably save the game after yet another Huard gaff.

I would not count on us winning despite Huard's poor play a second time.

That's unfair, Keg. The defense was getting it's ass kicked before halftime of that game.

Huard won that game with an incredible second half. A BETTER SECOND HALF THAN BRODIE CROYLE HAS EVER PLAYED IN THE NFL.

Huard threw a second pick in the 4th quarter with the game on the line

See, you're biased. Huard hit Bowe IN THE HANDS on that play. And yet you blame Huard.

Biased.

Croyle's only played 4 quarters as a starter, but hey...

But Damon deserves at least partial credit for beating the Chargers.

Right. 17 completions for 284 yards were all abberations from tipped balls and athletic WR play.

:rolleyes:

Oh, and the most passing yards on the road in 2 years.

Fluke.

Uh, ...oh, OK, got it.

[Bob Dole]

Ah yes use the Chiefs not drafting correctly as an example...

You're the one who brought it up.

Seriously... 6 vs. 13 only really matters if there's another team ahead of you looking to fill the same need.

[Mecca]

I don't buy that there's a huge difference in those spots...moving from 13 to 6 would cost a ton in a trade.

[Bob Dole]

I don't buy that there's a huge difference in those spots...moving from 13 to 6 would cost a ton in a trade.

It would definitely cost a ton in a trade, but in reality there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference in the talent obtained.

[Mecca]

There is....just because the Chiefs ****ed up that pick doesn't mean you don't want that pick.

That's akin to saying you don't want the #1 pick because a couple teams screwed it up in years past.

LeafYep, Bowe has also been alot better imo then Calvin to this point. Calvin is even on a wide open offensive team. Bowes doing his thing with one of the worst damn offenses in the NFL.

[Hammock Parties]

Calvin Johnson is soft.

[Bob Dole]

You want the highest pick you can possibly get...the player selection is better, that's the point.

Duh.

But one or two more wins now probably isn't going to significantly impact which lineman we get to take. If there's a can't miss lineman, he'll be gone by #6.

[Mecca]

LOL.....Calvin Johnson would still be taken over Bowe if the draft was done today and they knew all of what they know now.

I despise that whole bust thing....that's like saying "Blair Thomas was a bust I don't want the opportunity to take Adrian Peterson" "Andre Bruce was a bust I don't want the opportunity to take Julius Peppers" If you **** up a top 10 pick it is on you for screwing up.

[Mecca]

Duh.

But one or two more wins now probably isn't going to significantly impact which lineman we get to take. If there's a can't miss lineman, he'll be gone by #6.

It still remarkably changes the quality of available players.....I'd rather see them choosing between Sedrick Ellis, Andre Woodson and a couple of the top lineman prospects, not the 2nd tier guys.

So everyone is taking offensive lineman with the top picks this year?

If they pick in the 13-15 range there will be at least 2 if not 3 gone.

With his QB history, you can't really blame him.

[CupidStunt]

Complete fluke. BOTH of his touchdowns were worthless throws -- a slant which Bowe took to the house and an awful throw into triple coverage that Gonzalez managed to come down with.

He'll go 16/30, 0 TD, 2 INT, 5 sacks, 2 fumbles, 3 fetal positions and 11 "WTF?!?!"'s tomorrow.

Well, it won't take much to outproduce Brodie, that's for sure!!!

[CupidStunt]

Huard never did shit against a good secondary. He got owned by the Raiders (his 55.4 QB rating would be even worse if not for a fluke broken play) and would've been embarrassed in Indy.

But keep swinging on his nutsack. You are Carl's dream.

[keg in kc]

Right. 17 completions for 284 yards were all abberations from tipped balls and athletic WR play.I don't believe I mentioned tipped balls and athletic WR play at any point in my post.

Fact: Huard was 6-13 for 98 yards and a pick in the first half, which led to the Chiefs trailing 16-6 at intermission.
Fact: Huard threw another pick in the fourth quarter, with the Chiefs leading 23-16.
Fact: 3 plays after that interception, DJ and Brackenridge dragged Huard's ass out of the fire with a 50-yard strip and fumble return for TD.

Anything else you read in there was projection.Fluke.That win absolutely was a fluke.

Unless you think the Chiefs can regularly win road games where they give up 100+ yards rushing, gain less than 100 yards on 6-13 passing from their starting QB, and trail by 10 at halftime.

[Hammock Parties]

Fact: Huard was 6-13 for 98 yards and a pick in the first half, which led to the Chiefs trailing 16-6 at intermission.

Fact: The defense gave up 222 yards in the first half, including three drives of 50 or more yards.

Fact: Huard threw another pick in the fourth quarter, with the Chiefs leading 23-16.

Fact: The interception was Dwayne Bowe's fault. Huard hit him in the hands with a well-thrown ball. Bowe allowed the pass to be caught by a defender when it skipped off his hands.

Fact: 3 plays after that interception, DJ and Brackenridge dragged Huard's ass out of the fire with a 50-yard strip and fumble return for TD.That win absolutely was a fluke.

Fact: The defense needed to do something to win the game after the AWFUL first half they had.

I think the Chiefs can regularly win games when the quarterback throws for 180 yards and two touchdowns in the second half and the defense gets its act together instead of LAYING DOWN LIKE DOGS.

Note: Brodie Croyle's pedestrian, 145-yard effort would have been enough to beat the Raiders this last week, had KC's defense not LAID DOWN LIKE DOGS.

Huard is not the answer.. but as I said on Soren Petro's show on thursday you can tank all you want and end up with top 5 draft picks but you can end up drafting guys like Keith McCants and Eric Curry if you have bozo's running the draft.

[old_geezer]

This is not meant to be a Huard bash; just stating the obvious. There is NOTHING good about Huard starting as game at this point. We know he is not the answer and we know he is not the future for this team. Any start by him now is a waste of time as we try to find a QB of the future. The act of winning one meaningless game at this point in time doesn't balance out to giving our youngsters playing time.
That being said, there's really not much else to do with Croyle busted up already.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I can't help but laugh at those of you who think Croyle is soft.....

Did you even SEE the play he was injured on?

He was speared in the back, where there's no pads.

Then the kid goes in to get a painkiller, and comes back out and finishes the game.

I think this has a LOT more to do with Herm not wanting to risk further injury to Brodie, vs Brodie saying "I can't go."

[Reerun_KC]

Thankfully I wont have to witness this on Sunday! I will be out flying all day...

Thank you Jesus...

I have even removed it from the TIVO list. Playing Horrid reaks of desperation by a coach and gm... As a Chiefs fan I deserve better than Huard! I am tried of the Chiefs slapping me in the face with never was quiting QB's.. I wonder if Horrid will quit on his team agian this weekend?

Heres to RoidMan breaking down the Fetal position for us! It is Thigpen time...

Thigpen? A rookie from a small college that has never taken an NFL snap? Any coach that played him over an experienced veteran should be fired.

There aren't enough starting QB's to go around. So teams keep a couple of extras around for emergencies. They are like a spare tire with cords showing. They are intended to get you to the tire shop, not to start out on a vacation. Some people have the hardest time with this concept.

You want to start a rookie QB from Coastal Carolina (who?) who has spent most of the year on the scout team?

From www.nfldraftscout.com:

10/29/07 - QB Tyler Thigpen on Monday got his first chance since joining the Chiefs after training camp to actually run Kansas City plays. Virtually all of Thigpen's assignments to date have involved running scout team plays.

So the first time this rookie from a small school even ran a play from the playbook was a month ago, undoubtedly with the second team, and you want to start him? He is a project.

At least he knows the playbook.

The fact is that Huard is the backup. Croyle is hurt so the backup is going to start. I don't understand the whining. I don't know any coach in the league that would start an inexperienced Thigpen in this situation. You guys can criticize Herm all you want, but in this case he is just doing what any other coach would do. Do you think that Belichek would start Thigpen?

There isn't an NFL team or coach that would even remotely consider Huard as a starter except the Chiefs...

So what you are telling us here, those 31 teams are built and coached by actual coaches..

Under these circumstances (Remember Huard is the backup, you seem to want to imply that he has been named the permanent starter or something), when the starter goes down and you have one experienced backup and one that doesn't know the playbook at all and has barely even taken a snap in practice every coach in the NFL would go with Huard. It is not only the best choice, it is the only choice. If you can't see that you are delusional.

Your hatred of Herm has taken away all sense.

Under these circumstances (Remember Huard is the backup, you seem to want to imply that he has been named the permanent starter or something), when the starter goes down and you have one experienced backup and one that doesn't know the playbook at all and has barely even taken a snap in practice every coach in the NFL would go with Huard. It is not only the best choice, it is the only choice. If you can't see that you are delusional.

Your hatred of Herm has taken away all sense.
Hey I just agreed and rep'd you for a quality post...

Dont bag on me for you stating the truth...

Lastly, you can't use Herm and sense in the same sentence... Totally contradicts simple logic....

Damon Huard:

185 yards
2 INTs
1 Fumble


another brilliant idea....

Why wouldnt this staff look at getting thigpen more reps the past month or so instead of wasting time on Huard??

I dont think Thigpen is the answer by any means, but its pointless to waste any more playing time on Huard.

Yep Johnny your predictions suck you should stick to something you know about.

Oh btw how about that Kris Wilson carry for no yards. Another brilliant idea by you.

You simply do not know how badly another QB would have played today. Period.
The wind was a factor - even SD only gained 157 yds in the air. Huard was sacked 7 times and his receivers dropped at least 5 passes, including 2 in the EZ. The OL was so banged up that Turley started at ORT and Svitek would up playing OLT.

I know its popular to gang up on Huard. Even the announcers said at least twice (maybe more), "Damon Huard never had a chance on that play..."

Anyone who watched it on CBS can verify that. One of his picks occurred because EK ran into the CB and fell down in the EZ.

And who knows how badly Huard was hurt more than Huard? People talking about his injury are taking cheap shots.

Gochiefs? Is that you? "It was the wind I tell you!"

Hey, don't forget that the sun might have gotten in his eye too.

[Coach]

KCJohnny, just do yourself and everybody a big favor.

Just give it a rest, please?

Huard starting does not mean that it's good for the Chiefs.

I'd like to think that Thigpen actually performed better in his mop-up time than Damon did.

[Oh Snap]

Everyone's bemoaning a Huard start, but its probably a good thing vs SD. Last meeting with SD Huard rallied the Chiefs on the road from a 16-6 haltime deficit to a 30-16 victory. Huard's stat line was pretty healthy:

17 of 29 for 284 yards and 2 TDs. He found Bowe 8x for 164 yards.Its hardly a bad idea to play Huard when he threw for 284 yards ON THE ROAD vs SD.:arrow:

Foot meet mouth. ;)

Right before he went down with his "injury", he had 4 Thumps in a row. But it was probably the winds fault.

[KCTitus]

The thing I like about Proctor is the way he just relishes a team that's nothing but complete crap...

[keg in kc]

I guess I caught a different feed of the game. The one I saw had Huard taking sacks instead of moving in the pocket and trying to force his wobblers into double- and triple-coverage. Alas, apparently Chiefs receivers not making highlight reel catches to bail out every single bad throw now equals "drops".

And of course SD didn't have many yards through the air. They only threw the ball 20 times. Of course, they did have completions of 37, 38 and 40 yards.

Yeah, they had a ton of trouble with the wind out there...

[KCJohnny]

Why are you defending Huard? Seriously?
For the same reason I defended Grbac when he carried the entire offense on his shoulders and some of you relentlessly ragged on him.

For the same reason I defended Green when 95% of the Planet went after him with the moniker "TrINT".

The only reason I defend Huard is because I personally empathize with people who are ruthlessly piled on by irrational detractors.

Look, I haven't bent or broken any BBS rules. My opinion is my opinion.
Huard played as good as could be expected with the team on the field.

What disappoints me is that the same people here (you know who you are) that are trying to rub my nose in this post (kill me for being hopeful!) are the same ones that screamed bloody murder when I showed up now and then to mention that Ramifization was not working. Go ahead and lambaste me when I am wrong; its all fair game. But I notice when I am right I get accused of the same shallow gloating going here, mostly by members who never dare to brave a prediction or analysis any deeper than "Huard sucks."

Go Chiefs!
