Breaking News: Huard starts this Sunday!
 

Shocker! Herm desperately trying to save his job??


http://www.kansascity.com/news/break...ry/811817.html

For the third week in a row, winless Kansas City is making a change in its starting quarterback.

Coach Herm Edwards said Wednesday that Damon Huard, the 12-year veteran backup, will get the nod against the unbeaten Denver Broncos. Tyler Thigpen, the former seventh-round pick from tiny Coastal Carolina who got his first NFL start last week, is headed back to the bench but may see action again before regular starter Brodie Croyle returns from a shoulder injury. That's expected to be Oct. 19 against Tennessee.

Huard started against Oakland in Kansas City's second game before being pulled early for Thigpen. Thigpen made his first NFL start last week at Atlanta and was intercepted three times in a 38-14 loss that stretched Kansas City's overall losing streak to 12 games.

Where the **** is Ingle Martin? We've yet to see him play.

...

What's the over/under on the number of times that Huard does his baby in the womb impression?

Donkeys don't get a lot of pressure, so 3 times?

We're going to make the Broncos defense look like a championship caliber one on Sunday.

With our line? I'd say a minimum of eight.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... *yawn*

Ingle Martin probably will take weeks to learn the playbook, hell Favre doesn't know half his shit

So much for watching the "future" of this team :spock:

our season is saved

Think about our playbook. Exactly how hard is it to learn R2P2?

I'd rather see what Paul Smith can do. Grab him off the Jags practice squad.

Whippeee!! Im so excited for the game now

LOL - so much for the "Youth movement." ROFL
Herm is such a FRAUD.

what a boring topic.....I'm hi-jacking this thread, any one else think the 2008 denver donkeys look a hell of alot like the 2003 chiefs. Score one hell of alot of points but barely win the games.

Thigpen isn't or never was considered to be the future.

Neither is Huard.

Herm = EPIC FAIL

True.

Though you still want to have the best chance to win games. Thigpen doesn't allow that to happen. Huard at least has been successful before at some times. I'm not willing to just throw reg season games down the toilet like they're preseason games to see if a 7th rd pick from ECC that we picked up off of waivers list, can hack it in this league when most players from rounds 6-7 don't make rosters anyway. Hey lets see what James Killian can do.

What Thigpen needs is NFL Europe. Which they dont have anymore. Thigpen could work on his pocket presence and accuracy and then we might have something down the road......it would be a long shot but maybe after he gets some live game experience under his belt.

But to ask him to just come out of the gates against another teams starting defense at this high of level and expect the team to win let alone improve......is not only stupid.....but decisions like that should get head coaches fired. You find out about this kinda shit in preseason.....not reg season games.

Regardless of what players have said in the locker room. There is a losing mentality on this team when Thigpen plays. He's throwing picks left and right, putting defenses in awful positions to make any kind of plays or preventing them from stopping anyone. That right there drives this teams morale.....or whats left of it at this point....straight into the ground.

Do you really think our team coming out of the tunnel would think they have any chance against Denver with Thigpen starting??? what they say on camera is cliche and they don't wanna badmouth their teammates, but inside you know what players like LJ, TonyG and Waters are thinking. They are walking out of the tunnel at Arrowhead knowing their asses are about to get handed to them.

They don't have a chance with Huard starting either. In fact, I doubt Huard will make it for 4 quarters.

Huard will help the O, i'd like to see Dingle Berry in there

At least with Thigpen it's fun to point and laugh. With Horrid all you can do is bury your face in your hands.

I don't think Huard is an NFL starting QB either. But he alone is not an excuse for losing.

We've won ballgames with Huard at the helm before, he doesn't give us a great shot to win, but he alone is not an excuse.

It's 80% of the team and the coaching staff, that's why we lose.

Spot on. As soon as I heard the announcement I thought, "So what ! Pigpen will be finishing the game anyway."

Get ready to see the armadillo pose multiple times.

hopefully he doesn't get "dizzy" again.

For my personal enjoyment I want to see huard because he can throw the ball up to grabs to bowe and TG and atleast try to let them make a play. Thugpen it just all over the place. I don't care either way. We are going to get our shit kicked in once again. So many holes to fill

Breaking news: I wont watch now.

I'll bet Denver's LB's look across the line and bust out laughing.

Actually, of all the fabulous quarterbacks on our roster at the moment, Downfield has the best all-time record against the goats. I'm pretty encouraged by that little statistic right there.

Fax, I usually enjoy your insights but I'm not so sure that being the "best" of the quarterbacks WE HAVE is reason for encouragement.

I disagree. The Donks play D as if the quarterback is wearing one of those "don't hit me" jerseys. The only way Huard gets knocked out of the game is if he sacks/hurts himself.

He'll have all day to throw.

Unfortunately this is exactly the type of game that the Donks have problems with. Dropping a game to a team they should stomp. This has all the makings of an upset. I hope that's not the way it works out, but I'm not giving the good guys a W yet.

The chiefs have sumtin' fo dey ass...belee dat!

I think we can hang 17 and lose by 21

What Thigpen (and ALL our QB's) need more than anything is a LEGIT QB COACH.

We have a winner here. I submit "Armadillo Man" as Huard's new nickname.

Armadillo Man is good, Mr. old_geezer. No question about it. But, I'm kinda partial to "The Amazing Rolly Polly Bug Boy", myself.

why are people complaining about this? did anyone watch thigpen the last couple weeks? screw the youth movement, i can't watch that guy anymore.

I told you guys this on Monday. Guess my source is 5-5 on scoups of the media.

This was on my ESPN fantasy update email.... ROFL

5. Jake Plummer comes out of retirement, sans beard, and leads the Chiefs to the Super Bowl: Yeah, right. Just seeing if you were paying attention. But hey, the Rams, Titans and Vikings have turned over starting duties to Trent Green, Kerry Collins and Gus Frerotte, respectively … let's make this 2005 QB reunion complete!
