I don't understand all the Croyle hate. I really don't.

No pass blocking, whatsoever. Crap for receivers (Bowe notwithstanding). No running game. The most predictable OC since Billy "One Run" Smith - who had an aneurysm during the warm-ups and called the same play for the Amsterdam Admirals 40 times in a row. I mean, cut the guy some slack.

Croyle didn't have alot of help, but he certainly didn't anything to warrant praise either. In 10 games Croyle has 6 TDs to 8 Interceptions, he also fumbled the ball 4 times and lost 3 of those 4 for turnovers. I'm all for giving the kid a shot, but he certainly doesn't look like the 2nd coming of Joe Montana at this point. We'll see, only time will tell, but I'd give him this season, than yank off the umbilical cord. Croyle needs to take major strides, he's twenty-five years old, we need to stop babying him and make him earn his keep.

100% agreed with this assessment, Mr. BigChiefFan.

We must (and I mean must) give him some protection in the pocket, though. And a running game. The basic stuff any quarterback requires to succeed.

Agreed. Honestly, If he doesnt step up, the Chiefs will lose 12-14 games and draft a QB next year. If he develops, the Chiefs will stay competive all season.

Its a win/win depending on how u look at it.

Again, that was his first time being on the field for a period of time. If his first 10 games, if his TD/INT is almost close to each other, that's tells me that it's not a bad thing. I think the big issue is that people is knocking on him is the fact that he hasn't won a game. Well, we need to keep in mind that not ALL of it is on Brodie's shoulders. And the QB play reflects how the O-line play is. Honestly, ask yourself this. How would Montana perform behind that offensive line the Chiefs have fielded last year? Even Thigpen got KO'ed behind this line.

So, let's give him a chance to perform. If he can't perform, then the Chiefs should do the right thing, pull him about mid-season and have Thigpen play out the rest of the season. There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR DAMON HUARD TO BE ON THE FIELD. PERIOD.

QB class next year sucks. That's not the answer.

I don't agree that Croyle's TD/INT ratio is a good thing in his first 10 starts, but like I said earlier, I think he deserves this season to prove if he is worthy or not, nothing more.

Exactly. I'm hoping he does develop. But if he doesn't I'll be very intrigued about Stafford of Georgia (for now).

Just to point it out, 2 of those picks were in that one game against the Steelers when he came up in mop-up duty. As the starter last year, he went 6:6.

Or we could put a new twist on an old tale and have Albert sleep with her if Brodie doesn't pan out.

The old "Reverse Roaf." :evil:

I seriously believe Brodie is going to be opening some eyes about three quarters into next season. I think he's a gamer, but the o-line play must be improved for him to succeed.

It's not an excuse, it's common sense.
