So bench Croyle before he's even had a chance with a decent O-line, and play Huard who we already know sucks and wont be here another year? Great plan. As much as I hate Herm Im glad he's making the decisions and not you.

Frustration has already set it. accept the year is over. Enjoy the Croyle show and as we melts down he plays himself out of a job and draft another QB I like it.

Ahh yes, the old fashioned let's get a top pick Qb and ignore the O-Line problem.

News flash, we tried that the last 3 years, the picking a QB in the NFL Draft (Croyle, 3rd rounder) and ignoring the O-Line situation except for this year, but it's no good if your players getting injured.

Epic Fail.

Croyle Sux.

What's pathetic is that it has taken so many people so long to figure this out...and that some people apparently still think he is the future.

Rebuilding years are supposed to be years to build with people who will be the future of this team. Croyle is not the future of the team. This isn't a rebuilding year - this is a wasted year.

No. Last year was a wasted year with Damon Huard starting, and when the coaches finally saw the writing on the wall that Damon Huard is terrible, not to mention that he had a mysterious "injury" that he faked (Technically speaking, he quit on the team) where the coaches finally decided to get Croyle in.

Even that, six measly games, with a piss-poor O-line, and no healthy LJ = you're not gonna win any football games.

Wow, you've figured that out after 6 starts?

You should send your resume out to all 32 teams. Surely they'd make room for a talent evaluating genius like you.

I don't think ANYONE is saying that Croyle is absolutely the future. There are simply people that have enough common sense to know you don't judge a QB in 6 starts.

Yet, there are a shit-ton of people that claim that they absolutely, positively KNOW he's not the future.

I assume you are a Herm Edwards supporter too, right?
Please realize that the two are linked together. If Croyle has success, Herm is going nowhere. Herm has hitched his future in KC to Croyle. Croyle succeeds, Herm succeeds. The relevant measure of success at this point inside Arrowhead Stadium is whether Herm can develop a successful QB. If he can, Herm will be around for a while. He won't, so he'll be gone at the end of next year. I imagine Carl will finagle one more year for Herm, even as Brodie sucks it up again this year. That'll be 3, count 'em, 1, 2, 3, wasted years for this organization.

Look, if Croyle does suck, I have no problem admitting that he does. However, let's at least give the guy a chance to play out this season before making that determination, mmkay?

Besides, I'd rather have Croyle there instead of Damon Huard. I think the general population would agree to that assessment, regardless of suckage.

So does that mean he should get a free pass till all these other players are great?

I just don't understand that argument it lends itself to give a guy a free pass...I understand you probably don't mean it that way but when you start saying "well these guys suck too" it's almost implies that Croyle shouldn't be judged at all until all these other guys are better so what's he get then 8 years?

No one is giving him a free pass, and no one is waiting until those other players are "great".

But they should at least be more than a 300+ pounder with a pulse.

He's already show more positives this PS than all of last year.

He'll get this year, and MAYBE half of next year while they get the new guy ready.

But people expecting something great out of him NOW, with 6 career starts under his belt, playing behind the worst OL in the NFL, is ****ing retarded.

that may end up being true, but in the real world of the nfl, he'll get a chance to correct his mistakes. will he? NOBODY knows. thats my point. i don't think he'll be our qb in 2 seasons. i think we suck bawls enough this year we could be looking top 3 draft pick. with that, i think our qbotf is chosen. just how i see things panning out, and since i have already written this season off i've got no problem "wasting" this season to see if croyle can improve.

I know it must have been difficult to type the extra "cks", and a "x" was much more sufficient.

And yes, Croyle looked terrible. Our defense looked terrible, our special teams looked like garbage. There wasn't a whole lot to like about the "team" we trotted out there against the Fish. Thankfully, you've decided to provide us with such remarkable insight, like "Croyle sux". Thank God you're keeping us all up to date.

you spending money on season tickets sounds like you're drinking more kool-aid then myself. i just don't see any reason to get all worked up. i'll try to explain again using simple words:

THE CHIEFS WILL SUCK THIS YEAR.

no matter who the qb is. they are committed to youth, struggles will ensue. i'm sorry it doesn't fit into your ideas of what rebuilding should be. i'm sorry not every player they trot on the field is going to be a hit. suck it up, and deal with it.

btw, i'm not a croyle/herm/carl fan. i don't like any of them, but i'd much rather see what croyle has then to see huard spend half the season checking down, wondering what we got on the bench. you my friend are in for a long season if you're already bitching.

Gailey is one of the few competent [but no superstar] individuals in the whole organization. If at the end of the year, Croyle has a horrid yards per attempt [the stat that REALLY matters], then I'll agree he sucks. Until then, I am withholding judgment.

The one thing I am afraid of is that we really don't try to develop him, but play not-to-lose football. I could care less if he throws a lot of INTs. What I don't want to see is us not even trying to win. If you are attempting to rebuild, and don't even try to develop your players...Herm/Gailey should be immediately fired.

Um..Huard had our 4 wins last year and was over 50% with a trash line and suck ass run game. Newsflash - tiptoe to the line LJ sucked all of last year! Plus Huard was hurt. Tell me again what did Croyle do for us last year? What has he shown this year that Thigpen couldn't accomplish? Damon Huard is a back up, everyone agrees there but to say that he was terrible or that he quit the team then you are a f*ckin moron.
Just maybe dur..durrr..da...durr Croyle wasn't smart enough to be the starter. Bullet arm but dumb as a Bono. Personally Croyle reminds me of simple Jack from Tropic Thunder.

I am with BCD. It is far to early to throw Brodie out with the bathwater. Last night I saw him make some throws that were better than good. He also made the decision to throw the ball away better than he ever has before. The fumble I do not give him the blame for that was an inability on LJ to make the block on the linebacker. The INT was a prayer of a pass anyway at the end of the half. The starting feild position was not in his favor and the running game never took off. This along with holes in the line and good coverage on the wide outs does not allow for a QB to shine. Anyone ever heard of a virtue called patience? Yea did not think so.

Can we let him play the season first before declaring that he sucks...If Brodie shows no improvement and plays horrible all year, there will not be many people left on his bandwagon. For ****s sake let him have a full season first. I am sure you same people who say Brodie can't play in the league thought that Trent was a joke and would never amount to anything as a Chief his first year as a starter for the team.

This is Cutler's year to either step up, or stay average. He's hasn't shown anything to prove he's worth the high R1 pick that was used on him.

Croyle Fan. Have a nice season. Hey, maybe we should waste another year or two on a failed project, Shades of Blackledge, at least he went 4-4 in her first eight starts, 3-3 in next season and 5-3 in his last here, when Croyle can't carry Blackledges' jock? With a 17th rank offense and 15th Defense in 84. 18th rank on both sides in 85. And 12 Off and 13 Def in 86. Last years we were the 31Off and 14th Def. Why were we 31st ranked? That tends to happen when you lose 6 games straight. And Imagine like a lot of Other fans have the right to complain all I want, and to anyone I want, I've put in the years 38 of them, You? Season tickets for over 30 years, You? Excuse me if I won't join you in drinking the Croyle/Edward Kool-Aid.:grr:

FWIW, I'm not a Croyle fan. I'm a Chiefs fan. He happens to be the starting Quarterback. I feel he hasn't been given enough time/talent around him to be successful. I prefer to give the man an opportunity with some young talent surrounding him to see if he sucks.
A couple of preseason games and the abortion that was last year doesn't really tell me anything.
Never had season tickets, hell I'm only 34 years old. You got me beat. Where I got you beat is I actually enjoy watching the games and get satisfaction from it. I know there will be good years and bad years, that's the nature of sports.
Everybody (except maybe you) wanted a youth movement, us to draft and develop our own quarterback, and us to blow up the old roster.

I would go so far to bet that you were one of those people. Now with the advantage of hindsight it's the wrong move. Good call.

Gailey is one of the few competent [but no superstar] individuals in the whole organization. If at the end of the year, Croyle has a horrid yards per attempt [the stat that REALLY matters], then I'll agree he sucks. Until then, I am withholding judgment.

The one thing I am afraid of is that we really don't try to develop him, but play not-to-lose football. I could care less if he throws a lot of INTs. What I don't want to see is us not even trying to win. If you are attempting to rebuild, and don't even try to develop your players...Herm/Gailey should be immediately fired.

Totally agree. We are stuck with Croyle thanks to Herm / Carl. We have no choice but to ride it out and see what we have.

I understand when there is ass hats like you on the board there is plenty else to do. You keep pimping Croyle and keep looking like an ass....it seems to fit you.I'm far from "pimping" Croyle..wouldn't mind pimping his wife though.

I'm just a fairly patient, intelligent football fan. Willing to give every young player on this team, regardless of position(OL, DL, CB, RB, etc...) a chance to prove themselves. Am I going to call Flowers a bust if he doesn't make 10 picks this season, and write him off as a 2nd round nobody? Most definitely not. Croyle has had 6 starts...6. That's one more than 5 and one less than 7. Not a whole lot. I know comparing QB's to DE's isn't apples to apples, but I'm curious what sort of flashed JA showed in his first 6 starts. Could we tell he was an all-pro DE from 6 starts?

What about Charles? If he doesn't wow you in 6 starts are you going to write him off? Because the majority of these young guys are going to suck..bad. And I'm aware Croyle is in his 3rd season, with 6 starts, and a new OC, Line, WR's, RB's; so I'm willing to give him an entire season to develop.

16 games. That's a pretty fair barometer..your 6 starts bullsh*t is just an ignorant, impatient football fan talking. Hurry up and win KC! All this rebuilding and youth makes me sick!!! Score another vet FA..go 9-7!!! F*ck yeah, at least I can go to the home games and get hammered and they'll win. That's all I care about!

And when you make absurd statements with J.T. O'Sullivan as a reference point, do you not expect to get that sh*t stuffed back in your face?

If you wanna start comparing things for what you see, Trent Edwards is a fine player to compare Croyle with, he was drafted a year later in the 3rd round and the Bills are starting him and did as a rookie...

To this point he has shown more than Croyle has, I know up there he got the laughing smile but hey it's the truth to this point.

I'm also tired of this 6 starts thing it's pretty obvious he's going to start this season, and this is his season if he's horrendously bad they can't run him back out there next year.

08-24-2008, 08:13 PM
Let me just sum it up this way as to why our offense sucks compared to what we have been used to with DV/AS.....

1. During the DV AS era we had an Oline that had pretty much 4-5 Pro Bowl Olinemen, 2 in which are future HOF's and the most important Olineman position, the LT spot, was owned by a player that can be argued to be the best to ever play at that position. Hell our worst Olineman in 2002 was John Tait, whos a hell of a tackle IMO. Not to mention these players ALWAYS played together. None of them were hardly ever hurt. There was a chemistry there that was invaluable to an offense and especially the QB. Trent Green wasn't anything special. Didn't have too strong of an arm, held on to the ball for too long, and tried to force things at times, but what he had was accuracy and 7 seconds of protection. Look at Brady and the Pats last season, besides the loss in the SB, the Pats Oline hardly ever allowed anyone to touch Brady. Same goes with Peyton Manning, the Colts Oline have been the best in the league in pass protection.

- Now, we have a patchwork Oline and scabs off of other teams that make up our Oline. This problem should have been addressed a long time ago and that was front office's fault for not doing so as our Oline got older and older and no preparations were in line for their eventual retirement. The only remaining starter is as well all know is Waters. Waters play hasn't gotten worse, but it looked a hell of a lot better when a HOF'er is by your side taking on double teams like it's ****ing nothing. We are always having injuries to our starters which makes us have to go further down the shitchart to find the next turd to line up and play. There is no chemistry at all because of this and the pass protection suffers a great deal. I don't care if its Manning or Brady, if they can't get protection (see Brady in SB) they aren't going to be any good.

2. Trent Green has been the typical NFL system QB, never has he once played under a different scheme in the NFL than what Cameron,Martz,Vermeil, and Saunders ran. Just like Favre and what he had with the West Coast Offense up in GB his whole career, Green knew the offense just as good as the coaches, probably even better, he mastered it, knew every play and option inside and out. Once you got it down, games come along much easier. Green was put in a position where he could succeed.

- We are starting a young inexperienced QB. He's going to do all of the things inexperienced QB's do. They're going to panic in the pocket when pressure is in their face. They are going to hold onto the ball too long. Theyre going to throw into double and triple coverages, they're going to turn the ball over. They are going to make dumb decisions that a normal NFL vet QB would more than likely not make.

3. Our WR's have never really been spectacular to begin with outside of Tony G, dating back when DV was here, but when a QB gets 6-7 sec of pass protection, even Ryan Leaf could be successful in the NFL with that, eventually WR's are going to get open because usually they are always one step in front of the defense.

- Our WR's can't run good routes and that mainly falls on the coaching they're receiving. Darling SUCKS and Webb is on this team through a family connection. Franklin looks promising as does Bowe but outside that we have the worse WR core in the NFL. We need to look at another WR in next year's draft. Maclin in the 2nd round would be great in the slot.

4. Field position. This falls soley on ST coach Mike Pheifer and our inability to get anything going in the ST game. I havent seen ST be this bad in God knows how long. I will still say to this day that it was our blocking that ran Dante Hall out of town. Hall was still good for a couple returns a year, better than most teams. There is no blocking in the return game or kick coverage. Pheifer needs to be canned. People wanna knock on DV but if there is one thing he knew and knew better than most coaches it was special teams.

This is Herm's third year. How many more years does he get to improve the team? How many years until he can field a decent OL, decent system QB, receivers, special teams and a decent defense?

Jeremy Maclin in no way shape or form lasts until the 2nd round, if he runs a sub 4.3 40 which is possible he gets into the top 15.

I think the last incarnation of the Chiefs line and Green spoiled us to an extent, Green always held the ball to long but the line let him get away with that. Watch QB's in the pocket count to 5 at 5 seconds the ball should be out. He should have found or be finding his receiver when he hits the back step of his drop.

You're right - this is exactly the place I thought we would be when he took over. We are going nowhere with Herm. Man why cant Clark see that? :shake:

Let me just sum it up this way as to why our offense sucks compared to what we have been used to with DV/AS.....

1. During the DV AS era we had an Oline that had pretty much 4-5 Pro Bowl Olinemen, 2 in which are future HOF's and the most important Olineman position, the LT spot, was owned by a player that can be argued to be the best to ever play at that position. Hell our worst Olineman in 2002 was John Tait, whos a hell of a tackle IMO. Not to mention these players ALWAYS played together. None of them were hardly ever hurt. There was a chemistry there that was invaluable to an offense and especially the QB. Trent Green wasn't anything special. Didn't have too strong of an arm, held on to the ball for too long, and tried to force things at times, but what he had was accuracy and 7 seconds of protection. Look at Brady and the Pats last season, besides the loss in the SB, the Pats Oline hardly ever allowed anyone to touch Brady. Same goes with Peyton Manning, the Colts Oline have been the best in the league in pass protection.

- Now, we have a patchwork Oline and scabs off of other teams that make up our Oline. This problem should have been addressed a long time ago and that was front office's fault for not doing so as our Oline got older and older and no preparations were in line for their eventual retirement. The only remaining starter is as well all know is Waters. Waters play hasn't gotten worse, but it looked a hell of a lot better when a HOF'er is by your side taking on double teams like it's ****ing nothing. We are always having injuries to our starters which makes us have to go further down the shitchart to find the next turd to line up and play. There is no chemistry at all because of this and the pass protection suffers a great deal. I don't care if its Manning or Brady, if they can't get protection (see Brady in SB) they aren't going to be any good.

2. Trent Green has been the typical NFL system QB, never has he once played under a different scheme in the NFL than what Cameron,Martz,Vermeil, and Saunders ran. Just like Favre and what he had with the West Coast Offense up in GB his whole career, Green knew the offense just as good as the coaches, probably even better, he mastered it, knew every play and option inside and out. Once you got it down, games come along much easier. Green was put in a position where he could succeed.

- We are starting a young inexperienced QB. He's going to do all of the things inexperienced QB's do. They're going to panic in the pocket when pressure is in their face. They are going to hold onto the ball too long. Theyre going to throw into double and triple coverages, they're going to turn the ball over. They are going to make dumb decisions that a normal NFL vet QB would more than likely not make.

3. Our WR's have never really been spectacular to begin with outside of Tony G, dating back when DV was here, but when a QB gets 6-7 sec of pass protection, even Ryan Leaf could be successful in the NFL with that, eventually WR's are going to get open because usually they are always one step in front of the defense.

- Our WR's can't run good routes and that mainly falls on the coaching they're receiving. Darling SUCKS and Webb is on this team through a family connection. Franklin looks promising as does Bowe but outside that we have the worse WR core in the NFL. We need to look at another WR in next year's draft. Maclin in the 2nd round would be great in the slot.

4. Field position. This falls soley on ST coach Mike Pheifer and our inability to get anything going in the ST game. I havent seen ST be this bad in God knows how long. I will still say to this day that it was our blocking that ran Dante Hall out of town. Hall was still good for a couple returns a year, better than most teams. There is no blocking in the return game or kick coverage. Pheifer needs to be canned. People wanna knock on DV but if there is one thing he knew and knew better than most coaches it was special teams.

If you wanna start comparing things for what you see, Trent Edwards is a fine player to compare Croyle with, he was drafted a year later in the 3rd round and the Bills are starting him and did as a rookie...

To this point he has shown more than Croyle has, I know up there he got the laughing smile but hey it's the truth to this point.

I'm also tired of this 6 starts thing it's pretty obvious he's going to start this season, and this is his season if he's horrendously bad they can't run him back out there next year.

Yep. But they probably will...:shake:

Why can't we get a head coach that cares about both sides of the ball?

Or coordinators and position coaches aren't has beens but instead of young up and comers...

I, for one, think he should stay in college as long as possible. :)

You're right - this is exactly the place I thought we would be when he took over. We are going nowhere with Herm. Man why cant Clark see that? :shake:

I'd agree if he had any control over things the first 18 months he was here.

In 2006 he was pressured into making one last stand with a roster full of aging veterans by Peterson.

In 2007, Peterson AGAIN fought the rebuild, and we saw:

Huard instead of Croyle

Holmes instead of Kolby Smith

Complete trash at RT instead of Herb Taylor

Weigmann at C instead of Niswanger

Tank and Turk on the bench for 75% of the game

Hell, Kennison had to blow out a hammy in the opener, or I'm 100% convinced he may not have saw the field on a regular basis until mid-season - at best.


Thankfully, Clark stepped in during the offseason and sided with Herm. Things have OBVIOUSLY changed around 1 Arrowhead Drive. Sure, he's been the HC for 3 years. But Peterson's only kept his hands out since mid-2007.

I think you may be on to something here. Do other teams have as many busts as we do? Especially along the defenive line.

How many years until he can field a decent OL, decent system QB, receivers, special teams and a decent defense?It's going to take as many years as it takes to draft all of them. I think this is going to be a SLLLOOOWWWWW rebuild, just because there were so many players to be replaced.

By the way, I didn't notice any discussion about WTF happened to SIPPIO!!!!!!!111!! I thought that supposedly he had these things called "hands". Where the **** did they go last night?
