While true, the argument could be said that if Croyle did play the same offense that Thigpen did play, Croyle would have been easily snapped in half. And the shotgun does expose the QB to the D-linemen more often than not, because of the fact that he's already back there, and roughly D-Linemen will have their ears pinned back and going after him.

Hell must have frozen over.

little Roy just made a cogent point.

You talking about something illogical is hilarious.

I dont care if its not the same system or not, point is that Brodie Croyle did not get the job done, he had his chance, now its time to pass the keys over to Thiggy, and lets just see how he does from here on out.

Brodie Croyle's days as a Chief are history. Period. If he has any chance left to be a Chief it'll be to keep him around as a backup. Period.

agreed. Playing your old ways (Herm) cost you a TD

In the regular season? WTF? He didn't even last a full game, combined. We have no idea how he would have performed in the regular season. Based on last year, it wasn't real good.

Thigpen, over the last 4 games, has shown to be light years ahead of Croyle, the practice field All-Pro.

Ah yes a Gunther excuse for every year he sucks right...

This defense sucked balls when all the starters were playing, they have a bunch of high picks on the line oh and not to mention Pollard who Gunther loved, the guy has 0 ability to judge players.

If Gailey was so awesome, the Chiefs would have started the season running this type of offense instead of trying to run behind a line that can't open holes and trying to drop back and pass behind a line that couldn't protect.

Changing things up for the third-string QB because you already got the first two guys killed is not a sign of genius. It's a sign that you don't have any other options. And what's hilarious is that if you're talking about Herm, people will point that out all day long. But then the exact same people line up to teabag Gailey.

There are those that would argue that Herman ****ing Edwards cuffed him, and didn't allow him to open up until he got desperate.

In the end, I don't really give a rat's ass.

When the flushing is done, if he gets flushed with te rest of the turds, I ain't going to cry about it.

This defense has been nothing but average at best (and that's being generous for 5 years under Gun's watch).

Can you blame it on players? No. He's had 9 first day picks in that time, he was given a blank check (he decided on Surtain, Bell, Knight, Hall)
Can you blame it on the head coach? No. He's served under 2 (Vermeil/Herm)
Can you blame it on the assistants? Maybe on the D-line. But he blamed Don Blackmon for poor coaching and had him canned, and now he's doing even WORSE than Blackmon
Can you blame it on him being in the booth? That's been covered--he's failed both on the booth and on the sidelines


This is a man who has blamed everyone and everything for his shortcomings, from his assistants, to his head coach, to the players underneath him. This is a man who has moved in and out of the booth because he thinks that's affecting his ability to coach. And while we can blame players, I've seen the coach on the other side of the ball, Chan Gailey, get significant improvement from a 6th round pick QB, a patchwork o-line, 4th string RBs because he designed a scheme that fits the players' talents.

The excuses are over. The good news is, hopefully the addition of JOhn Bunting as defensive consultant is a pretty strong signal that Gun's days are numbered.

I actually wholeheartedly agree with a Chiefzilla post. Wow.

WTF
did those stats come from

Except for the Bunting part, because that implies that he's fine with Herman ****ing Edwards as the HC (which, of course we know that he is).

I'm dreaming of a giant enema at Arrowhead.

Lets not give Thigpen the keys to the castle yet...

last I checked neither Crodie Boyle nor Thigpen has won an NFL game as a starter yet.

Although, Thigpen is looking pretty damn good out there.

Gun will positively not be back next year. Unless he moves down to linebackers coach, which knowing Gun, he may.
