And they're obviously idiots.
Seriously. If you've watched Brohm or Ryan play, they aren't elite talents. They aren't the kind of QB's you want to build a franchise on, they are better than average, and they damn sure don't look any better than Brodie did coming out of college, injury problems aside.
You put those guys behind this line and they will get injured. They will throw a hellacious amount of INT's and they will get sack/stripped the same way Brodie is.
I can't see how anyone who has covered the Chiefs for more than a couple of seasons couldn't be ecstatic about young blood at the QB position. How can you be sold on any QB after three games? It's impossible.
If Brodie totally bombs next season behind a *better* line and can't make the correct reads, and throws a ton of INT's, I think we draft a QB for competition. That's it. Then we let them duel it out in the 2009 Camp and Preseason.
I'm not sold on Brodie completely..but I'm willing to give the guy a damn chance, especially when he's playing behind 5 Michelin men who couldn't walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. Let him play..speculate all you want through the season next year, and if we have to bring in some competition, so be it.
