Gailey has always been a run-first, throw-second guy. None of his QBs in the NFL have ever thrown for over 3,500 yards.

I've said this 1,000 times. The Gailey hiring clearly illustrates everything that is wrong with Carl Peterson. Gailey was hired the right way--there was an open audition, lots of candidates interviewed, and the best candidate was chosen. Carl Peterson has a history of refusing to interview anyone outside of his network (that includes: Herm, Gun, Solari, Vermeil, Gun again).

I have to think that the hiring of Gailey shows that Peterson isn't in as much control as he used to be. It must have been killing him to know that someone outside of his network was being interviewed for a coordinator position.

Yeah that whole 2 quarters was great

Remember that scene in the Matrix where Neo sees the black cat?

Croyle wasn't playing good. Croyle hasn't been good in KC, ever.

Unlike you and Hootie, some of us could see what a fluke Huard's "success" was. Throwing up ducks against the pathetic NFC West, and Gonzo or Kennison making circus catches. I am not sure I've ever seen such a lucky streak by a quarterback. Thigpen is making the throws, and has no support from the running game.

Croyle wouldn't last 2 plays in this offense, and he couldn't run it anyway.

When Huard was firing lasers it was like Camelot...Arrowhead was full, Larry was dominating and I believed in Herm...if only we could have signed Huard when he was in his prime...we could have had a dynasty. Dammit Carl!

The Chiefs DID sign Huard when he was in his prime

wow ..... goatboy just got his azz kicked by roy jr.

Exactly.

and Hutard couldn't either.... Bootleg is not his in his skill set.

Chan has done a decent job the last month .. hopefully he'll be kept around ...

Yes I am trying, thanks for bringing it up....:cuss:

well, I agree that Gailey has been awesome but the LT play has been great and he has Tony Gonzalez, Dwayne Bowe, Mark Bradley, Brad Cottam, Larry Johnson and Jamaal Charles to work with...with a mobile QB who is perfect for Chan's new awesome...

I agree though, I want Chan back next year....100%.

That's true, but the conversation assumes Gailey recognized the need for any of those changes. What I'm saying is that I'm aware of nothing to support that idea.

The guy was on the job for 9 months before the first game of the season. Is there any point where it looked like he thought the offensive line wasn't cut out to run the offense he designed? He was running the same offense before Croyle got hurt, after Croyle got hurt, and after Croyle came back. Even if he secretly knew it would be a disaster and was waiting to have the evidence to convince Herm that they needed to change, wouldn't he have been able to make a pretty good case by week 2 or 3?

Let's also not forget that Gailey and his opinions on offensive linemen were a big part of the offseason decision making. Every time talk would rise up about a FA lineman, we'd hear how he didn't fit Gailey's "profile" or whatever. By not saying "Holy Christ, Carl, get me anybody but these bunch of stiffs", he was tacitly endorsing the group of guys we had here.

Gailey has done a great job of designing an offense to fit Thigpen's talents. And it also fits the offensive line's talent (or lack thereof). But it took half the season for him to do that, when that very issue... designing an offense around the players, not forcing players to fit into an offense... was one of the main items he talked about when he got the job. An offense is as only good as the offensive line, and he spent half the season having the line playing in a scheme they could hardly execute.
