If that's the case WTF is he our #2 then? If Cassel gets hurt he is going in, so what then?

What ****ing job? Hand the ball off? What is it that Cassel does that makes some think Brodie can't do the same if not better?
Nevermind that 8 of Croyle's losses came behind one of the worst offensive lines in Chiefs history with absolutely 0 pass protection and 0 running game.
The 1 game Brodie started under Haley he did ok in until late. I firmly believe had he had more time with the starters the 4 TD's he overthrew against Baltimore would have turned out different
Myth #3: He isn't the long term answer.
I agree, but neither is ****ing Cassel. As much as I like what we are doing right now is actually not a bad time to change QB's.
When it comes down to it you have to look at things this year. Cassel has taken 2 sacks in 4 games. Meaning the O-line is much better in protection and we have a great running game to help him. Croyle, while not a long term answer, can actually throw the ****ing ball with some zip on it for more than 5 yards.

Not only does he throw the ball w/ better zip, but he makes better reads. And unlike Cassel, Croyle is not as hesitant in the pocket. I could think of some many reasons why Croyle is better. He has better pocket awareness, better vision, better delivery, and just better overall poise.
Quite frankly, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't play him? If they're asking Cassel to do the simple things, and he can't even succeed in an offense that evolves around a short passing game, then that spells suckage to me. I've seen other QB's sadly, like Bono and Huard manage that style of offense better than he has. We have nothing to lose at this point by playing Croyle.
