Huard to be canned?
 

According to Frank Boal on Fox 4 News, Kansas City, he said Huard is expected to be released sometime in the near future. There's a fire sale going on at one Arrowhead drive. Wow, I didn't expect Huard to be canned so soon. Way to re-sign him just last year, Carl. Great move.

Good cut him, cut everyone else too.

buh bye

I can't wait to see who we pick up in the 6th or 7th round to replace him!!!!!

*sigh*

God... I hope Croyle does not go down next season without at least a somewhat decent backup in the bullpen.

Good.

I don't think Huard is in our long-term plans, and we're past the point of stopgaps.

:grovel:

if huard gets cut, i wont miss him but.... as a backup he did was he was supposed to do. he took a crap load of sacks and enmity from the fans. the guy never seemed to dump on his team. he at least took the bad with the good and had class.

now back on subject....this is good b/c that means we should be drafting another QB (we had better :cuss:ing NOT get a dumb has been to repl Damon)

This also might lend more credence to us going after JP Losman, ugh.

I heard that Miami was interested in him until they found out that he was dolphin-safe.

That's cool with me. Huard pocketed a lot with the Chiefs. Hope we can find someone a lot younger to hold the clipboard or take snaps.

Hello Chad or JP!

Casey Printers back in the fold baby!!!

noooo!!!


THE POWER OF "football jesus" COMPELS THEM TO STAY AWAY

Brodie Croyle battles David Carr in River FallsROFL

That's as wrong as two boys f***in'

This isn't much of a surprise.
I'm wondering who we have in mind to replace him though?
I can't see this team going into next season with three young guys at that spot.

So who will it be boys?
Pennington, Losman, Leftwich?
Matt Ryan?

uh maybe JP Losman?

Leftwich certaintly looked good a couple of years ago.

Losman? maybe

Just don't see them taking Ryan.

Losman and Brodie Croyle are like twins....

i agree but that would make me the least :cuss: given the choices. (ryan i mean)

oh oh oh O face....ahhh.....

I don't think Casey would come back here after last year's run around.

You hear it here first guys.

Carl Peterson is on the phone with Ryan Leaf working out a deal for Leaf's return to the NFL!!!!

Don't knock it! He was, after all, a 2nd pick 1st rounder once! He *HAS* to be good!

LMFAO





/ I keed

Somewhere Hootie is crying.

I am sure you are right, IMO he was the best QB in camp last year and we cut him.

This news brought a smile to my face. A real youth movement might finally be happening.

IMO it's going to be interesting to see how the QB position shakes out. From the early reports it seems like the Chiefs are determined to find a young QB to build around whether it's Croyle or not.

I knew they were high on thigpen, wanted to draft him, eventually got him, I wouldn't doubt if he was the number 2

That's really going to cut into his time selling cars.

I wouldn't mind if John David Booty fell to us in the 3rd round. In the latest ESPN the magazine it said that the Chiefs and Ravens scouts seemed to be the most interested in his services. Good backup plan IMO if Croyle keeps getting injured or just doesn't pan out.

LMAO


He's dead weight.

Mecca says no to JDB.

Since he is a USC nut... that is good enough for me.

David Carr is not a bad qb the problem with him is he been in bad position to show his skill and being treated like a tackling dummy in houston doesn't help ether.

Don't worry though I only like SC players and never have good opinions according to some....

admittng the problem is the first step to recovery:)

yep, he's a dud, based on the extensive playing experience he acquired last year as a rookie

we are sure putting alot of faith on our Personal Dept to replace all these spots in 1 season.

look b4 you leap anyone?

like i said, if we lose every game playing youngsters but are competitive i will be happy

If this happens
I gotta wonder who's running the show at 1 Arrowhead Drive now

Not hanging on your ball sack or nothing, but you do have a good knowledge of players and seem to cut through a lot of the Homerism on the board. If we were to ever meet I would have a Jager Bomb with ya :spock:

Well, this is good news and bad news.

It's bad because it's a 100% indication that the youth movement they talked about last year was bullshit. It's also a horrible waste of money. And lastly, it's indicative of a rift between Herm and Carl concerning the direction of the team.

It's good news because it's a sign, any sign, prior to the draft, that Herm is winning the battle for control...

0dd T0dd is a free agent. It's meant to be.

Print 'em baby...

LOL

Might aswell eat the money this year, they've sure made it sound like they "don't have money to spend" despite being well under the cap, might aswell use it to ditch guys.

Yep. I think this is great news and I think it is probable that the Chiefs will draft a QB in April.

Yea but where and when?

If you believe workouts and supposed rumors the Chiefs could get 4 starters with their first 4 picks..productive starters.

Don't buy this for a second. Any of you actually thought for a second how awful the depth chart would be without Huard? Say what you want about him (it's so cliche, so why not), but he's a decent backup and doesn't make f**k all. The Chiefs aren't going to get rid of him.

I like Chris Redman, although he'll be 31 when the season starts. He has a little experience and did pretty well starting at the end of last season:

In Week 12 on Dec. 2, 2007, Redman replaced an ineffective Joey Harrington against the St. Louis Rams and completed 16 of 24 passes for 172 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, all in the fourth quarter, nearly bringing Atlanta back from a 21-3 deficit. He was named the starter on Dec. 6, and in his first start in five years completed 23 of 40 passes for a career-high 298 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in a Monday Night Football loss to the New Orleans Saints on Dec. 10. Redman showed that he could be a starter in this league when he completed 17-of-27 passes for 251 yards with a career-high four touchdowns in the Falcons' 44-41 victory over Seattle on Dec. 30, winning NFC Offensive Player of the Week, his first. While playing in six games, four of them being starts, Redman had career highs in completion percentage (59.7), passing yards (1,079), touchdowns (10) and passer rating (90.4).

It's not the cap, it's cash.

That's fine, use the cap space to get rid of the contracts this year.

Yep. It's actually a good idea.

If the ownership is only willing to pay out the bonuses every other year, we might as well absorb the cap hits in our "off" year...

Who knows but if the right scenario plays out they could pick Ryan

The problem with that is I'm not sure that Ryan will be a "starter" for this team. We know how scared they are of a change like that...

True. I was just saying under the right scenario it "could" happen but the odds are highly against it.

On a side note about the cap I just read that the Bucs are now $44 million dollars under the cap which is a staggering number

I fully agree. If there's going to be a blood-letting let's slice an artery and not a drip at a time from a paper cut.

at least the dumping of Huard takes away from their ability to scream in terror and run for the known quantity, no matter how bad that known quantity is. One way or another there would be a young QB getting some playing time.

True.

How will we ever replace his 11 TD's and 13 INT's??



Good riddance..

With a younger version of course.o:-)

With...

I hope Frank knows what he is talking about.

The only other QB I'd rather have than Brodie is Brady Quinn. If we could pull off a trade with the Browns and still get a stud LT in the draft that would be cool. Let those two battle it out in TC and who knows? If Brodie can beat out Brady Quinn then he is legit (only with consern of injury right?).

I like Brodie and Brady about the same so it would be cool to have Brady Quinn as possible QBOTF.

C Ya Huard, did not like ya, but thank you any ways. Bye. If not cut then fine be a good back up as third string behind Tyler Thigpen.

I know this sounds fucked up, but given the fact that we will suck balls next year anyway, why not just sign Culpepper to a 1-year deal? If we get Ellis, Dorsey, or Gholston in the first round, and our line is still a weak link (even with a second round LT or RT), it would be nice to have a pretty big guy back there who can absorb a piss pounding if Brodie snaps.

Honestly that's not a bad idea at all.
We can't go into the season with three young guys at QB.
We need a veteran backup in the fold.

A Leftwich, Losman, Pennington, Culpepper... Huard...
Has to be at the right price though.

Later DownField BigGame.... Your fetal position will be missed by the opponents defense's.

Eh. We aren't going to win more than 6 games in 2008 anyway so we might as well dump all of the old guys. Gonzalez is the only older player we should retain, and even that is mostly for sentimental reasons.

We won 4 games last year with the vets. If that is the best the vets have to offer then there is no need to retain them.

If we release huard maybe the vikes will pick him up

I'd prefer it if Huard was caned.

The problem is we don't develop a QB going that route.

Imagine how much more interesting "Hard Knocks" would be if they were in camp this coming season instead of last....

This is good, Chiefs need to bring in a quarterback that will bring competion for Croyle.

Ya,
It's not like T.G. contributes or anything...:rolleyes:

Absolutely. Gift-wrapping the job for him will not work.
They've tried it once.

goodbye DaMOn-thanks for the INTs and fumbles

I thought Croyle was our young QB. What does having a legit vet B/U hurt?

Croyle is in the running, but I sure as Hell wouldn't annoit him the starter. I'd definitely draft a QB. Going that route, you don't want to impede any player's growth. Signing Culpepper just delays any progress of more youthful players by taking reps away.

Unfortunately - because we wasted last season - it's aboout the same.

Shoot - the coaching staff was just as much to blame. Can we throw more of them out too?

Well, you don't get to. Herm and Carl seem to have their swan song contract going. They're going to do it their way and it seems clear that as far as the immediate future goes Croyle is the QBOTF.

Or, QBOTNF anyway.

Competition should never impede growth. Quite the opposite, actually.

I don't think Culpepper's at the point in his career where he'll be stealing snaps from much of anyone.

I guess we could comfort your delicate sensibilities though and just resign 0dd T0dd who's a lock to stick at the no 2 spot...:evil:

ROFL

My favorite: The referee turning on his microphone and telling 80,000 fans:

"There is no foul for intentional grounding, as the quarterback wasn't under pressure."

Close 2nd:

Chad Pennington - here we come. ROFL
