Brodie Croyle is the man! Just get him an O-line.

[Kris Kringle]

That's the priority for '08. We've not seen much of him, but from what I've seen, Brodie is the man. He'll be a good QB for us. I'm not saying he'll set the world on fire in '08. But, he can be a top 15 QB in '08 and grow into a better QB in '09 and beyond. For Herm's style of offense, that's good enough. But, he'll need an O-line. Carl and Herm need to get Brodie an O-line. I think Brodie can floursih with and O-line to protect him and give him some time to throw and a good dose of confidence. Here's my plan. It's not brain surgery. It's obvious.

1. Draft the best LT possible
2. Move McIntosh to RT
3. Move Niswanger to C
5. Keep Waters where he's at
6. Sign the best OG possible from FA
7. Trade or cut Weigman, Turley, Terry, and Wellbourn
8. Let Svitek compete for backup RT / LT in training camp, if he doesn't step up his game, cut his ass

I think the Chiefs will have to use 1st round or 2nd round draft picks for O-linemen over the next 3 NFL drafts. This will be a long term project. I think the O-line is the most important componant on the filed. The O-line, as a unit, is more important than even a QB in my book. We need to invest in and pursue a top 5 O-line. The offense and even the defense will benefit from it.


Sorry for the football thread. We can all now return to the poop threads.

1. A guy who can make all the necessary throws.

4. A guy who keeps his cool and doesn't fluster.
5. A guy who can take punishment, dust off, and go back to work.
6. A guy smart enough to learn a playbook and read defenses.

Anything else? Personally, I think Croyle has all those characteristics. But, am I missing something?

Bilingualism would be important. And I'd like to see someone well versed in the classics. Only other thing is he should be able to play a mean blues harmonica on the plane rides home.

Unquestionably, Mr. HonestChieffan.

Meanwhile, I'm listening with some angst to the wacky fool on 810 talking about how the Chiefs need to draft a franchise QB in the first round.

Again I personally would like to see Croyle get an honest chance. I mean he IMO has all the tools that FAX stated and then some. He has arguably one of the strongest arms this team has seen in years, and he has a cool presence in the face of adversity. I think that he's the man. No there is little chance he's a Brady or Manning level QB. But you never know until you play him. Brady or Manning would have a hell of a time with this OFFENSIVE Offensive line in front of either of them.
