From kcchiefs.com:

After giving himself a stranger earlier today, Croyle will miss the next two days of practice with a tendon strain. No word on if he'll be available on Friday.

Exactly.

Your posts have been exquisite lately.

I hear Croyle has those old-person shower pads. His career might be over if he slips in the shower.

From what I've heard thus far, it's not the quarterbacks that aren't throwing, it's the wide receivers who aren't catching.

He did every year. As I said in another thread, if Cassel is just mediocre in camp it's an upgrade.

Cassel played well enough last year to get a very large contract. If he threw nothing but interceptions from today until the end of the exhibition season, he'd probably still be the opening day starter for the Chiefs.

Instead, he played the first exhibition games with receivers who aren't the starters, and put 4 of 5 passes into their hands. The receivers dropped 2 of the passes, making it look as if Cassel struggled. I'm pretty sure that Haley's got the tape and understands that.

When Mark Castle wins the superbowl for KC, then we can celebrate...

Until then, some of us can with hold our expectations and realize he is nothing more than average with this weak ass talent around him...

You deserve boatloads of rep.

And don't forget how many QBs went before Marino...

Wait. I sense a flaw in this logic. Doesn't the definition of a "stranger" require the use of your other hand? Thus, even if Croyle strained a muscle in that arm, I'd assume that's his non-throwing arm.

Maybe he strained a neck muscle? Ya know... tryin' to reach? :D

You're not 'realizing' anything. You're claiming without knowledge. Now, that's fine when it comes to Cassel's talent. You're more than welcome to form whatever opinion of that makes you feel better. However, this thread is not about Cassel's talent. It's about someone writing that Croyle is/may be pushing Cassel for the starting QB spot. They are two different issues.

We should trade Brokie before he explodes after his first sack.

luv 08-18-2009 08:17 PM

If he wasn't so damned fragile! The kid is good.

Oh, sorry. Missed a tune, huh.

Let me apply your Croyle logic in another venue:

Mick Lathan COULD be a great journalist if he had some training and press credentials.

Convincing logic?

Frogs and wings, GoChiefs.

Mecca 08-18-2009 08:19 PM

And of course something like that will flip people out the Chiefs have a ton riding on Cassel.

Hammock Parties 08-18-2009 08:20 PM

So you're saying he's got talent...like Croyle....damn....

Yes, very talented, minus the most important attributes.
