Mellinger: Chiefs’ gameplan gives Croyle a chance to sub in for consistent Cassel (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=238284)

He needs to actually be the gunslinger people say he is. He's never actually played that part. Throw the ****ing ball today brodie. Don't just check it down.

Croyle will have a monster game. He will slam the chargers for massive yards and throw tons of TDs.

My stat prediction:
320 yards
3 TDs
1 INT

Croyle is going to make a statement about who the real starting QB ought to be on this team!

Indecisiveness.
An inability to get past his own mistakes and move on to the next play.

Since I am avoiding a shopping trip and, instead, seeking out someone with intelligence with whom I might argue about entirely meaningless topics today, I shall respond to your crazy idea, Mr. milkman.

Croyle had a crap team around him in 2005. Total crap. As a result, a great deal of Alabama's success that year had Croyle's signature on it. We have to assume that he had the ability to move on (psychologically speaking) to the next play since he did have 4 INTs, a glom of incompletions, and took a brutal beating from his own o-line that ultimately led to a 10 and 2 record.

But, I know that "look" Croyle had during the games. Personally, I view his "pro career" as a kind of weird aberration. When you're drafted by Herm (who tries to convince everybody that a punt is better than a touchdown), Solari is your OC, and the RRP2 is the totality of your weekly gameplan, I think a mystified expression on your quarterback's face is probably reflective of good sense and sanity.

If the Croyle that played at Alabama showed up, then we'd have a different discussion.

I do think Herman ****ing Edwards played a big part in turning Croyle into the confused, uncertain QB that we've seen.

I am hoping we see a different Croyle today.

Agreed. People bash Croyle (sometimes for good reason, sometimes for no reason, at all) but Herm couldn't develop a Polaroid ... let alone a quarterback.

Quite the opposite, really. Herm is a QB killer.

the margin for error todayy is gonna be very small and I will be surprised to see them show enough confidence in Brodie in the first half to let him throw is around very much. I guess i depends on how long it takes for him to calm down and truly be in the game.

To be fair, those things, a lot of the time, come with experience.

Something he hasnt been afforded to this point (partly due to his physical fragility) and likely wont get here in KC.

Can we tender him again after this year if he plays well?
