I think the Chiefs can easily lose at Houston. Schaub, Green, Johnson on offense with no Allen to help Hali get pressure. On offense Huard starts slow, LJ is rusty vs an 8 man front.

If the Chiefs are 0-2 going into the home opener I think it will end much like the opener in 2004 against Carolina.

When hell freezes over, apparently.

Or when no more aged veterans with minimal talent are available to start ahead of him.

where is the "when he sits behind Drew Brees for 3 years because that is what Philip Rivers did" option?

Where is the "When Pigs Fly" option?

The youth movement died when Huard was named starter.

Well, if we do start out 0-4 (not likely, IMO) I could imagine Croyle starting.

LMAO

Heh!

Week 5 against the Jaguars

Gaz

Bye, GB is the home logical choice. providing he's ready

Croyle goes in when Huard gets carried off the field following a series of lookout blocks by the offensive line... or the dotted line, if you find that a more accurate description.

Casey Printers starts game 2

As soon as the playoffs aren't an option. As long as Carl can spin it that this is a playoff team Huard will play. I've just got a feeling that Huard will do what he did last year and keep Brody off the feild by his play. If the Chiefs do well and surprise us all I won't have a problem watching Huard take this team to a 10-6 record. Doubtful, but it won't hurt Brody to sit and learn another year. Judging by his play he needs it. Rivers sat for two years in San Diego and that worked out for him.

The problem with all the other young QB's in our division is they are all top 10 first round picks. Brody was a mid 3rd rounder and it is starting to show. With that said, those first round guys in the division also have decent o-lines, well not Oakland. Brody has had to show his skills while running for his life.

Not this year.

If he isn't ready now, why would he be any better or more prepared 4-8 weeks from now? Is he going to gain a ton of experience on the bench?

This is his first year as THE backup QB. Last year he wasn't getting any snaps with the first team offense. This year he will continue to get some practice with the first team throughout the season and will be much more involved in meetings and on game day.

It's not a bad progression, really. From 3rd string, to backup, to starter sometime through the season.
