Crennel on QBs

Crennel has not decided on a starting quarterback for Sunday vs. GB. #Chiefs

Crennel doesn't rule out starting Ricky Stanzi against the Packers.

Crennel might consider benching Palko after his 5th interception.

Crennel has not received order on who to play.

I thought this was going to be about some interview he did on channel "QBS."

Stanzi will start.

Crennel will probably be wearing a buzzer device similar to the refs; he'll get the signal when he's allowed to pull Palko when Pioli hits the button....whilst petting a white cat.

FYP

ROFL

Damn. The truth can be so funny.

I don't get why they're not playing him. If I were a Chiefs fan, I'd be tired of hearing "he's not ready to play QB in the NFL". How the **** do they know if they don't let him try? Palko certainly isn't ready to play QB in the NFL, but it didn't stop them from playing him. This is a prime spot to play Stanzi: expectations are absolutely nil. They just fired the coach, the undefeated world champions are on the schedule, and everyone expects 56-3. So let Stanzi give it a shot. If he actually plays well, it would be a huge boost to his confidence as well as the fans'; if he doesn't, no harm done, no one expected him to do much anyway.

Was Todd forced to play Richardson like he was forced to play Palko?


I don't buy into any of the above, I think Todd played who he wanted to and wasn't going to be bullied into playing anyone he didn't want to play.

And holding his pinky to his lips. (He does sort of look like Dr. Evil...)

Todd was forced to play Cassel, if for no other reason than the GM didn't acquire any competition for him.

Starting Palko was Todd's last, large middle finger to the franchise.

He totally does, man.

FAX

Yep. He knew it was over weeks ago.

Pioli was looking down at him as he is want to do.

FAX

Keep doubting Matt Guttierrez.

We might as well see what Stanzi can do for the remainder of the season. No way should we ever go back to Palko again. That shit ran its course with Haley.

I snapped this pic at the Steeler game as I walked past Pioli's suite. the door was only cracked a bit, but I managed to get a glimpse.

I think the image on the computer screen is Haley, his daughter, and family dog. Really, mocking Pioli like that was the kiss of death.

Stanzi

Powe

Hudson

Need to play.

Haley was a Pioli puppet.

Pioli traded for Cassel
Pioli retained Gailey (with input from Clark)
Pioli hired Weis

I'm not sure how far Pioli went with his overuse of power, but to act as if he let Haley play who he wants is foolish.

Sure would like to see this.

The other thing would be, I haven't looked this up, isn't GB's defense very weak?

It would help for Stanzi to go ahead and get first team reps in practice. Something he has prob not been given.

I think Palko might be the exception here, and Pioli might have been like "Alright Todd, but if this is a huge epic failure, it's on you". So Todd went with Palko, he was a huge embarrassing failure of epic proportions, and Pioli said "YOU'RE ****ING FIRED TODD!!!"

You have to laugh because the only other choice is to cry.

Did you not get Donger's lecture on the Queen's English...

"as he is wont to do." :)

A ball hawk opportunistic, that has played an ass load of high powered offenses.

I'll take this one step further and say that Todd was stubborn to a fault when it came to who he would play. I think once it became obvious to the rest of us that palko wasn't an nfl qb, it only furthered todd's desire to prove everybody wrong. really my only complaint about todd, but that doesn't matter anymore.

same here LOL

Let the conspiracy theories begin..... If he's playing the guy who supposedly wasn't ready and is auditioning for the job is it because he'll likely be the head coach next year?

Christ, I hope so. If nothing else, I'm tired of hearing about him.

Stanzi split first team reps last week per local reporters.

I'd almost be willing to bet he starts the last 3 games (barring injury)

It's about to get interesting for the first time in a very long time.

2 home starts back to back and then finishes on the road against Denver.

That was Ponder's first start against the Packers right? World did not end.

ya, i'm reminded of croyle vs huard a few years ago. croyle was an unknown, and huard's skills were well documented. hope this guy turns out better then the last...

Their defense isn't that bad. BJ Raji can be a force up the middle. Clay Matthews is very disruptive, Woodson and Williams are pretty good. They would be licking their chops to see Stanzi.
The only way we see Stanzi is if he gets reps with the starters in practice. And then he still might not be ready.

Much like the Pats, the Packers' D has also skewed the stats because their team is always in the lead, so opposing teams are always passing to try to catch up, and the D is playing softer and more prevent.

But, make no mistake about it: even on their best days, both the Pats and Packers Ds are average. Are they capable of making stops? Of course. They can stuff a 4th and 1, they can pick off a pass, they can force a fumble. But, overall, a team can move on them.

Sad thing is, Palko was not a lot worse than Poili's boy Cassel. The numbers don't lie on this one.

You will play....Palco..NO WAIT...Stanzi for $1 HUNDRED Dollars..hehehehehe

Who the **** is calling the plays?? Wasn't Haley essentially calling the plays.

Good.

This means he has but per' Patriots way he's not saying $3it until gameday...

Needs to be zorn

YPG: Pack 2nd worst at 394 (Pats worst at 416).

PPG: 15th at 21.4 (Pats 14th at 21.1, BTW).

1st downs given up per game: 28th (only worse are Tampa, Oakland, Indy, and NE).

3rd down conversions given up: tied for 27th with Tennessee with 43% (only worse % are Minny, NE, SD, Indy).

Points given up this year (skewed by a few creampuffs):

Saints: 34
Panthers: 23
Bears: 17
Broncos: 23
Falcons: 14 (an actually respectable outing)
Rams: 3 (creampuff)
Vikings: 27
Chargers: 38
Vikings again: 7
Bucs: 26
Lions: 15
Giants: 35
Raiders: 16

If the Broncos can put up 23, the Vikes 27, and the Bucs 26, I don't see why the Chiefs can't. Especially because this game isn't at Lambeau. The Packers have already gone 13-0 and are heading home for the final two games, with the homefield advantage all but sewn up. The Chiefs will probably be taken lightly, given the HC firing and lack of a quality QB. If there's any time to get them, it's now.

Todd was the one starting Palko,pioli did not want that.

Crennel has said he wants to be a HC again...slice of an interview being rerun on 810...

Crennel is not a slam dunk for the permanent job. He's 64 and not in great health. Right temperament, less-than-ideal time in his life.

Todd was set up to fail on purpose

All this Stanzi fapping is funny. If Orton can grip and throw the ball, it's going to be him under center.

Orton shared the bench with Quinn last season
that will either have Crennel's throat coated with pre throw up
or wet his nickers with excitment

Stanzi or Orton is likely to start IMHO, if the book is written on Palko. Crennel isn't going to see any upside to announcing that ahead of time to give the opponent an advantage.

Him being a disagreeable douchebag was secondary...

Who is the other RT on our roster?

Gaither refused to play RT in Baltimore and they cut him... what makes everyone think he was willing to play RT here?

I agree with most of what you are saying. But those numbers reflect an offense that gets up on people quick and scores quick so the defense is on the field a lot. I think they are better than the numbers show.

yes

With all this smoke around McDaniels (He seems to be to Pioli what Francoeur is to Moore) would anyone really be shocked if the plan was to transition McDaniels in (knowing that he's unsellable as a HC) by hiring Crennel for the short term, handing the offense over to McD, and then once Romeo is done, slide McD into the HC role?

Sounds nefarious enough.

FAX

ROFL

FAX

What?

No. I don't think pioli gives two shits what fans want. He'll bring in McDaniels and tell fans to suck it. He's been setting the table for the guy ever since he got fired in Denver.

Pioli is a snake man.

We have to figure out what his master scheme is, though. So we can, you know, blow up his facility and stuff.

I wonder what his escape plan is? Rocket? Laser Shark with Saddle? Prostitute Disguise?

FAX

something Haley should've done weeks ago.

Then why didn't he just hire McD in the first place?

Scott & Todd practicing the escape plan...

Are you saying that Romeo keeps the job for a year or so and then McDaniels?

who hacked MR. Fax's account??

poor Todd ... i wonder how long it will take him to recover.

nobody ... he's lost his dam mind about this Haley thing.

I read yesterday where Clark also said he doesn't pay any attention to the fans.

They both really should, because bottom line is they are trying to sell their product to the fans. And right now, the fans don't seem to be buying what they are selling.

It doesn't trickle down to Clark since Pioli is saving him so much in unspent cap room.

What advantage?

Defenses don't plan for Palko. They just line up and laugh.

Interesting. I was reading over at ArrowheadPride this morning a story where it said he wasn't all that interested in the interim job.

ima afraid they just line up and laugh period .....

It doesn't trickle down to clark because he could snort gold dust off the asses of hookers 8 days a week while out-spending the Redskins on free agent signings and still have enough people hired to never know what his own electric bill comes to...

13-28 for 93 yards against a 3 win team at the time. Not exactly a line that would make DC's quake in their boots either.

And that is really not an outlier sample either.

Only at you...

What are the odds Romeo goes unshaven and wears women's pink KC plush fleece on the sideline?

I has snapped, Mr. denverdanchiefsfan.

Too much excitement.

FAX

Speaking of Gaither, I was arguing with someone about him off the forum and they claimed Gaither played some snaps at RT when BR was dinged.

I remember Gaither filling in for Albert a couple of times at LT and also taking some snaps as an extra tackle in short yardage situations but I don't remember him taking a snap at RT, even in the preseason. Does anyone know when Gaither took some snaps at RT?

I think he did.

FAX

Yes he did.

McDaniels was already wrecking the Broncos.

Pioli had no desire to hire McD, if he did he would have been hired on in 2009.

He had Haley targeted from the start.

Does Romeo Crennel prefer Gates or Arthur Bryant's?
