Exactly. Pioli and Haley thought he was good enough for the roster. Period. That has nothing to do with playing favorites. And that's in light of a 4th string QB who isn't exactly horrendous.

Croyle was a great qb today. That was a top notch defense, playing with a lead at home, he still almost found a way to win, with virtually no help. I think our receivers are better than we thought, and the line is worse.

I guess Castle is in next week, He'll look great against choadland.

It wouldn't surprise me if we end up missing out on the better quarterback because of the castle injury deal.

I think Brodie is the better QB for us VS Oakland.

I was thinking the same thing too, only because it took Croyle a full half to really look comfortable. But the argument against that is that he was playing a mammoth of a defense and he hasn't had any reps with the first team.

Cassel's had a lot of practice and preseason game reps with the first team, so I expect him to be ready from the get-go. Couple that with the Arrowhead advantage.

"you and all of your she/he girlfriens use statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts... for support rather than illumination."

You are the biggest dumbass I have ever seen.

Ever.

HE DID. He took a lot of vicious hits too.

I suggest you look in the mirror if you want to see the world champion dumbass. Ever.

If you happen to be standing over my shoulder at the time, it's a lock.

Did you go on vacation this summer? If not, I highly suggest the Alomar Forest. It's fun for you, and great for society at large.

dude, if you are dreaming of a guy standing behind you when you see the dumbest asshole of all it's just wrong. Rest assured that whomever might be standing behind you is seeing the first guy in the mirror as the dumest assshole of all times.

I think you need to get off the death threats, it's not nice.

WTF? Please refrain from addressing me until you are no longer reeruned.

Raised On Riots, CTTCS_WLR does indeed go on vacations during the summer. He's the manwhore at Boehiem Grove.

This is ONE area where you and I completely agree Clayton. Brodie did a good job yesterday, and I have a feeling that the bashing will soon be at an end.

This guy has gone through alot. He has defied some SERIOUS odds to make this football team, AND be the back up. ( Which I might add, that I told everyone as early as last April that he would do. )

Good thread brother, and I hope all is well.

No offense, but that last sentence is crazy.

LMAO Maybe he'll work his way up to "flaming sacrifice".

No, he really can't. But he did prove to not fall apart for an entire game. So, congrats Brokie.

Anybody who has read my posts knows that I have always felt that Croyle can play i this league, and play well. Haley is the best thing that ever happenrd to him, because he will deprogram Herm's BS out of him. It started yesterday when Haley said " what happened to my pass play?"
Herm's pussy methods are not strong enough to keep Haley's bitch slapping personality out of Croyle's head.

Honestly, I do Not want Croyle going to the faid or the Donks. I can't live through another Gannon.

Haha, standing. Haven't seen Brodie do much of that in 3 years.

You just couldn't respond without patting yourself on the back....could you?

They are carrying 4 QBs on the 53, I imagine they are doing that so they can get something in return for one of them.
TT was showcased for one play yesterday, just wish he would have broken it. Just my opinion, but I think that is their strategy, they don't plan on trading Guiterez.
Another way of looking at it, you have 4 QBs, which one is the most different than the other three?

Brodie has what it takes, I wouldn't mind seeing it play out like that

I've been down that road, I'm not getting stuck there again.

He has a great arm. And he can play well if the game plan is centered around minimizing his mistakes (aka conservative).

He's not the guy that's going to lead this team to the playoffs.

Furthermore, let's not let this one game cloud our judgement. The guy still hasn't proven that he can stay healthy.

I thought about this very scenario last night. I believe Brodie believes he can still be a starter in this league, and I believe the Chiefs let him showcase yesterday as an undisclosed factor to the final decision on Cassel starting against Baltimore.
I think they want to at least try and get something for Croyle that benefits both parties involved. I can tell you this much; if Brodie should start week 2 and the Chiefs win, he will absolutely be on the Trade Train out at the end of the year.

If Brodie leaves KC, they'll bring in another couple of candidates for camp and let Guitierrez, Thigpen, and the other two battle it out for second and third.
Or, if they're dedicated to developing Guitierrez as the #2, they'll just release Thigpen outright at the end of this season.


And what a tragedy that would be.

No, I freaking couldnt. I take a TON OF SHIT here, so YES I did. You have a problem with that? HATER?????????


Jeesh. Your SOOOO Counterproductive. Your like a freaking bug.

At least I don't toot my own horn everytime I ****ing post.....like you do. Why don't you go make another video where you rub your hands together like some kind of pervert.

Your And Idiot.

Dude, If you perceive me as tooting my own horn with everything I do, it sounds like you have paid ZERO attention to anything I do, and on top of that, must not be able to read either.

There is a method to what I do here on the internet. If you don't understand, I could care less. If you don't like it, again, Could care less. For everyone ONE of you little cockroaches, there is a hundred that understand me.

Do your freaking homework kid, and bug off. IGNORE, engage. Strike three for you hot shot. Oh, and congrats!! You are OFFICIALLY the first person I felt the need to ignore on the Planet. You should get an award for that. Here's my middle finger.

Maybe you should do the same, because you WILL NEVER understand me, or what it is I do.

:popcorn:

wise ass

I may regret this, but what exactly is it that you do for the Planet?

LOL!!ROFL

Thanks bro. I needed that.

Slipping the note in for your employer eh?

I vacation with honorable people, I'd never see any of you there I'm sure.

Your a ****ing idiot. I think the boys in the white coats are looking for you.

Sweet....I'm on ignore.

:evil:

And we're absolutely heart broken over that.

He survived Baltimore, and who says Cassel would've done any better than Croyle in that game.

He has taken several huge hits this year so far

The take I have is that putting Thigpen in yesterday might show that Haley is interested in running some wildcat reps with Thigpen in at QB. At least with Thigpen, there are some interesting things you can do, so he's not completely wasting space on your bench. Notice how Thigpen took both snaps under center. I don't think it's too farfetched to think Haley would rather have a project at #3 than a career third stringer--for as much hype as Gutterrez has gotten, he sure throws a lot of checkdown passes to the RB.

The fact that Gutterrez wasn't on the roster doesn't bode well for him. Trust me, nobody's gunning to trade for Thigpen at this point. In a game where a fragile backup is your starter, your #3 QB has to be the guy you want on your roster long-term. The fact that it was Thigpen and not Gutterrez speaks wonders.

It is fun to speculate, and interesting how we are looking at the same situation, and coming up with three different scenerios. I guess we will see, as I don't think it is very common to carry 4 QBs on the 53, it is?

I would be shocked if one of the QBs wasn't cut when Cassel gets a clean bill of health.

Nope.

We can only hope it's broken beyond repair.

How old are you? You act as if you are pre-teen girl starting her period.

I'm old enough to tell you to **** off.


So **** off.

I'm missing the point of this thread, I thought we lost yesterday.

Just as I thought, a mad little kid.

It's one game. He survived one game in 2007, too. And then he got broken again.

It really doesn't matter what Cassel would have done. Brodie Croyle is a known quantity at this point - he is what he is.

The Chiefs did lose yesterday, but it was not the disaster that was predicted.

As an all around POV the team looked better than they did last year.

He got knocked bigtime against the Ravens, it wasn't a run of a mill hit plethora either.

And it's still only one game.

Sorry, I'm not going to deny you your opinion. I'm just done with this type of stuff myself. There's no reason to be vested in individual players anymore - they either suck or they get shipped off or both.

Hell with it, I'm ready for Cassel to play and Brodie to return to the bench.

I guess I watched a different game. I saw an offense that really struggled to get first downs and a defense that couldn't stop the other team. That seems like a disaster to me.

I don't understand all the "we did better then we thought" talk this week. You guys must have had the bar set really really low.

I didn't expect the Chiefs to win but I wanted to see improvement. I didn't notice much if any improvement.
