Chiefs Draft Analysis: Croyle Undisputed #1 QB?

KCJohnny · 04-27-2008, 02:40 PM

So does this mean Croyle is Herm's guy?
After all the speculation and coveting of Brohm and Ryan and others, KC did not draft a QB (through the 6th rd).

What do you think? From my foxhole, it looks like Herm/Gailey are willing to go into 2008 with Croyle at #1 on the depth chart.

As long as it's not Huard.

#1 punching bag for this year. I honestly hope he pulls it off though really. One thing we wont have to worry as much about next year... but I think we are going to have to continue our search for the next guy

Brock · 04-27-2008, 02:43 PM

By 2010, the Chiefs will have a new starting QB and RB.

**CosmicPal** · 04-27-2008, 02:43 PM

You haven't heard? They're bringing Jeff George out of retirement.

Marcellus · 04-27-2008, 02:45 PM

I don't think there ever was a question as to if Croyle would go into the season at QB1, the question was would they draft someone to push him or as a fallback in case Croyle doesn't develop.

I think they like Thigpen and he is option #2.

Time will tell if we screwed the pooch not drafting a QB.

I believe the best thing to happen to Croyle since Kelly is Chan Gailey. He really knows how to wring max talent from his rosters.

Mecca · 04-27-2008, 02:45 PM

Just means they didn't like these QB's...

ChiliConCarnage · 04-27-2008, 02:45 PM

Yes, he will be. He's too frail and his accuracy has looked poor at times but were going to be bad this year so there isn't any reason not to give him another chance.

edit: I shouldn't even say "another" chance. Even this year may be tough. If we really do start guys like Albert at LT there could be missed blocks and assignments and just guys flat out getting beat. We'd be possibly putting 3 new guys and 2 rookies into the line. Both of the rookies would be playing out of their regular position. eek

oh noes double negative!

I'd say yes. The guy put us into position to win 3 or 4 games in his limited time last season. Bears, Colts, Jets, and one other one that escapes me right this moment. Other players or units let the team down... not Croyle.

And yes I was campaining for Ryan, but mostly because never in my wildest dreams did I figure Dorsey would fall to us at 5.

Shoot, the biggest fault most here can find for Croyle is they don't think he can stay healthy. We are about to find out it would seem.

Oh no. QBs were definitley scouted in the offseason. Pretty sure Ryan was a guy Herm was interested in.

keg in kc · 04-27-2008, 02:47 PM

It may be as much as a statement about the lack of quality in the draft as anything about Croyle.

My guess is they still don't have any idea what they have in Brodie (good or bad). I doubt that not drafting a QB is any more of a statement of support than drafting one would have been a sign they don't believe in him.

Possibly but he would have had to beat out Croyle in camp to be the starter and since CP wouldn't have him signed in time for camp, it couldn't happen.

BigChiefFan · 04-27-2008, 02:52 PM

The plan is we give Croyle this year. If he works out, great. If he doesn't, we know what we've got to do in the future.

Of course they were scouting the QB's. I would hope they scouted every player in the draft. It's their ****ing job. Obviously they didn't like what they saw in the QB's this year.
