These are the Facts:

1. We have no REAL answer at the most important position in the game, and until we do, this offense isn't going to be very good.

2. Thigpen was drafted in the 7th round by the Vikings, the same team that drafted a shitty Tavaris Jackson. Thigpen couldn't even beat him out and the Vikes were going to place Thigpen on their PS.

3. The only times this offense has seen a shed of light in the reg season, Huard was taking snaps. Huard led us down to the redzone and gave us a chance to tie the Pats. Huard was the one placing balls up over defenders in preseason to Bowe with touch.....a throw that Croyle can't make because he has no touch whatsoever.

4. We keep signing other teams trash and camp fodder journeymen, hoping they are the next Tom Brady or ****ing Slash Kordell Stweart.

5. Our team should be financially penalized by league offices for even thinking about running the option in this ****ing league. Good lord.

This has been proven wrong but you keep ignoring it.

But you're willing to waste regular season games on an old, scared wobbly pass throwing guy who is as good as he'll ever be. Makes no sense to me.

CoMoChief is Carl Peterson's handle here, that's the only explanation I can think of. 'cause I've never seen anyone else try so hard to push a washed-up cast-off.

Unless you have more compelling information than the numbers that've been posted that claim is baseless.

His loyalty to a dated philosophy of how to win in the NFL is his biggest problem. That and he does a horrible job delegating responsibility.

If he could just do something about those two things he might deserved to be called a Head Coach in the NFL.

He's our best chance to win the ****ing game man. It may not be a good chance....but it's the only thing we have now. face it, I know our entire group of Qb's are ****ing dogshit.....thats a fact and I'm not denying the fact.

You still want to win games dont you? Or do you want to whine and bitch about how much we suck week in and week out on Chiefsplanet all ****ing day?

When Croyle is healthy then fine...put him back in....he originally was the starter.....but playing Thigpen and Hagans in regular season games and expecting this team to grow and improve and win is just laughable and silly to think its even possible. This is a better team than it was when Huard went 5-3 in 2006. Theres no reason why he shouldnt be able to do it again. The Oline is better........the playcalling seriously needs to improve.

Huard's past as a Chiefs signal caller is significant to this discussion.
He's show as recently as the Detroit game that he could produce with the weapons available to him. In a game where Croyle could not.

He could. He could also handicap this offense like he did most of the day this past Sunday.

Other players should be subjected to that JUST so we can try him out?
During REGULAR SEASON GAMES?

There are other players on this team that need to be developed.
They cannot and will not develop at a regular pace if the offense is completely inept.

When did the fate of this entire team rest upon a tryout opportunity for a 7th Round Quarterback?

we've started the regular season???? ****:banghead:

That's one of the main points to this whole deal. Evaluating players during the regular season (which is exactly what Herm claims is the goal, here) isn't typically done by most franchises. They usually figure out their quarterback depth chart sometime before the start of the regular season. There are other concerns, as well. For example, having a quarterback with no experience is a good way to get some of the other guys injured should they try to make a play on a ball, for example, that was thrown in a bad spot. Another issue, of course, it the notion of guys just giving up on the game and/or the season when they realize that the quarterback spot is going to be occupied by someone who simply isn't ready to play the position.

It makes sense that Thiggy has more long-term upside than Downfield, there's no question about that. Nevertheless, the argument could be made that more bad than good could come of this decision.

It makes me wonder, though. Is there a limit to the number of guys a team can have on PUP?

FAX

it seems like herm is the one giving up mr. fax

This is truly a unique situation here in Kansas City.
I don't envy the man who inherits this 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle.
It's going to be a tough job. I think it takes a special kind of coach to know how to fix a situation like this.

Herman Edwards is not that coach.

Perhaps we should field an offensive line that can keep our starting QB healthy beyond the first half of the first game. 2 of the last 3 years our starting QB didn't last past the first game...
