OK, cheap shot at Thiggy, but this is intriguing. At the very least it should serve up a huge plate of crow to ANYONE who ever bashed Croyle backers. The kid can flat PLAY. He ALWAYS had the ability.

If a miracle happens and he stays healthy...who knows?

Croyle making a move in Kansas City?

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 18, 2009 8:23 PM ET

Over the weekend, we almost wrote a post on Brodie Croyle appearing to pass Tyler Thigpen on Kansas City's quarterback depth chart. Ultimately, it didn't make the cut.

On Tuesday, Kansas City Star writer Kent Babb wrote that he thought Croyle was playing so well, "he's threatening [Matt] Cassel's job."

Now that's a post.

Babb's bold declaration -- on Twitter, not in the newspaper -- defies logic. Not only did the Chiefs trade for Cassel to be the starter, they handed him a huge contract only a month ago.

Seeing Cassel on the bench would be the most surprising development of a preseason in which Michael Vick became Donovan McNabb's teammate.

Then again, Chiefs coach Todd Haley didn't douse water on the notion Tuesday. Asked if Cassel has been the best quarterback in camp, Haley said: "I'll hold off on answering that."

We've read that Cassel has been inconsistent at times, but overall the reviews of his camp performance have been positive. Croyle played well in Kansas City's preseason opener, but it's hard to believe that would be enough to threaten Cassel.

It is clear, though, that Tyler Thigpen is the forgotten man in Kansas City. Babb wonders if Thigpen will even make the team.

It's also clear that Chiefs coach Todd Haley thinks his team needs some tough love after the Herm Edwards era. Asked Tuesday about Brett Favre's return, Haley turned the focus back inward.

"I'm just worried about this house. It's on fire, and I'm trying to keep it from burning down."

Your 2009 Kansas City Chiefs, ladies and gentlemen!

It's going to be interesting next year. When there will be anywhere between 10-50 different people reporting from camp. You can bet there will just as many different opinions on the players. The "you must be blind" fights should be awesome.

That's what I was thinking while reading this.

But then Haley's comment after pulling him was "Come on, Brodie. We’ve got to be able to count on you.” I thought was different from the normal tearing down after a player screws up.

Oh shit...Mecca is graduating from GM to OWNER.

True but the one thing I learned listening to Pioli's interview is that they won't wait very long to make a move unlike Carl who held on for years

Oh god not this argument.

Really there were plenty of people on this forum who preferred other guys to Pioli.

The bottom line is that after 3 major knee surgeries, Croyle is NOT a starter in the NFL. He flat out can't stay healthy. He may look good when he knows the Defense can't hit him, but we all know he can't hold up for 8 games let alone 16 games in the NFL.

Hats off to Haley for utilizing the media wisely to generate some buzz about a competition. Haley did a great job using Thigpen as a ploy in the offseason/mini camp to create a worry in Cassel's mind, and now he uses Croyle to do the same.

Very smart...(But nothing more than that)...

I did find that comment interesting. He may be a hard ass but it doesn't sound like he is just berating players. Pulling him and then basically telling him they are counting on him to do better doesn't sound like he is just being an asshole, he is making a point of accountability.

He is also giving Bowe props for improving and encouraging him even though he demoted him.

Looks like the same issue to me, just how you want to precieve it...

Yeah, according to local radio... all our QBs look like ass. We're doomed.

But then, I've heard them hype everyone up before... and we were doomed then too.
