Chiefs Would Haley/Weis ever consider Croyle instead of Cassel?

Coogs · 06-13-2010, 01:29 PM

First and foremost, leave out the Croyle is injury prone issue.

That done, let's proceed...

Haley has said many, many times that the players that give us the best chance to win will play.

Reports from the OTA's have pretty much said that Cassel's performance during practice pretty much mirrored last season production during games. Very inconsistant.

Even though Croyle's practice time was cut short, it seems as though his reports were pretty glowing.

Croyle has been given about the same amount of time to groom for the QB position as Cassel (and Rodgers for comparison) with a few more actual game apperances prior to Cassel taking over for the Pats.

If this pattern continues in the preseason, do you think we could actually have a QB controversy that is legit, and that Haley would pull the switch if he thinks it would be best for the overall good of the team?

Coogs · 06-13-2010, 01:33 PM

Me, I think he would. He seems very sincere in his approach to this season, and in his attempt to do everything he can to make this team better.

If it means getting the ball to a receiver down field, I think Haley would let Colquitt QB if need be. That said I don't see anything happening till game 6 at earliest. And that is only if Cassel downright loses us two or three games.

**Bugeater** · 06-13-2010, 01:39 PM

Yeah, if it was actually up to them.

Mr. Arrowhead · 06-13-2010, 01:41 PM

Yeah i think he would, I know Haley the one pushing Warner to start over Leinert a few years ago in Preseason.

I think that Croyle is the more talented QB and will definitely make leaps and bounds under the tutelage of Charlie Weis.

But unless Cassel struggles to the point where he's directly responsible for multiple losses, Croyle won't see the field except in the case of injury, IMO.

I agree completely. Cassel is really going to have to tank for them to make a change.

Unequivocally false.

It's an opinion, not a fact.

Croyle will never be a successful NFL quarterback.

Correct. In order to be successful, you have to be able to stay on the field for more than half a game.

There's really no use in discussing if Croyle could win the job or whatever; because he probably could.

But we all know how it's going to end. Broken elbow, cracked rib, dislocated shoulder in about 2 games max.

Well it's not just that. Whenever I see him play, I don't see a confident player. I see a quarterback who looks afraid to make a mistake.

I honestly think Matt Cassel, for all his shortcomings, is a better quarterback. Perhaps not more talented, but more capable of leading a team to a victory.

I see Croyle as a guy who can come in a game when the starter is injured and not **** it up.

Honestly, stop pushing the croyle issue. he never was and never will be a starter. It's like a monthly thing with you. Should just change your name to herpes or some shit.
