I've come to terms with the decision and I am glad Damon Huard is starting... - Page 21

Damon Huard is a stop gap QB with no upside.

Herman Edwards is a stop gap HC with no upside.

The less time Croyle plays now, the more he has left in the tank when Edwards and Peterson are gone.

THAT'S a BAD THROW.

Not every ****ing incompletion is a bad throw. That's the ****ing point I'm trying to make with Zach.

An incomplete pass isn't the worst thing imaginable. He's not airmailing wide open receivers or throwing the ball in the ****ing dirt 5 yards in fromt of them.

I understand and agree with everything you wrote. Lets just review YOUR comments real quick.

He made three bad passes.

He never over threw.

He never under threw.

How is it my exception to those stupid comments makes me in need for the lecture you just wrote above.

This is coming from a guy who from his own comments seems to be saying that there isn't such thing as a bad pass if it isn't intercepted.

No fair being rational!

Please. Damon went 4-0 against the shitty NFC West, and 1-3 against decent teams. He was humiliated by Pittsburgh, and I think I saw him crying like a little bitch in Miami.

Should I also mention that he had about 8 interceptions that were dropped by baffled defensive backs, who had a "he threw it right to me?" look on their faces?

This is a terrible move. There's no reason to get rid of an old Pro-Bowl quarterback to start an old guy who's never had a starting gig in the NFL in his 11 years. At least, if we play Brodie this year we'll know if we need to draft another QB early next year or not.

Don't forget Huard fumbles the ball every other time he is hit. I have no interest in starting a guy who is more fumble prone than Aaron Brooks, or Dante Culpepper. He will be exposed.

Secondly, Thursday night we had two first year starters at LT and QB, gee I wonder what the problem was?

Awesome, I look forward to a long season of fumbles and whining, and moving for a QB next year.

I don't think Huard will give us a better chance to win. Bring up last season all you want, but the 2007 season is going to be played in the future. I watched Huard play, I know what he brings. The chances of him performing like he did last year and defenders dropping all the gifts he threw to them are about 1/1,000,000.

We're just putting off the inevitable. It think it's stupid that Huard barely played during this 'competition' and won it by default because of that fact. When Huard did play so far, he was horrid.

Not to mention... I like him even less after watching that 3rd Hard Knocks episode... The guy is a whiner. I hate whiners.

Huard threw in inaccurate interception, and overthrew a sure TD to running back who was all of 10 yards away from him... actually, both of those passes were 10 yard passes to WIDE OPEN RECIEVERS

Even drafting a QB is stupid for KC, because we won't let them play.

Mark my words: Chiefs fans will be calling for Damon to be benched by week 4, guaranteed. He got lucky last season, and only played well when Trent was calling his plays. Am I the only one who noticed that he played WORSE than Brodie in his two preseason appearances? He also posted a lower QB rating.

I am all about green and growing.

If he had shown he was the second part he would have been named the starting QB for the Kansas City Chiefs this year.

I guess I am ****ing reeruned, because I don't get what you're asking......

It's CLEAR that Brodie has outperformed Damon in all aspects of the game.

It's also CLEAR that Brodie potentionally have some upside, where Damon has no upside at all.

Come on, the kid has earned it rightfully so right from Day 1. Sure he hasn't looked good during preaseason, but it's obvious that he performed BETTER than Damon has.

I'd bet if you asked Indy fans if the 16-26 record over the 1997 and 1998 season was worth it, they say yes.....

And they've had ONE season with less than 10 wins since.

But when you get a QB at number one your team has no where to go but up and Manning showed in the preseason that he had the skill to play the QB position. Croyle's potential skill and Mannings potential skill aren't even comparable.

This is coming from a guy who from his own comments seems to be saying that there isn't such thing as a bad pass if it isn't intercepted.

IIRC, I said I didn't see a blatant overthrow/underthrow.

And I'd have been more than happy to stand corrected if you had an example. I thought you might have one you recall specifically. Like Dirk did with the out route to Gonzo. I'm not going back to look at 5 quarters worth of game film over it, and I don't expect you to, either.

And I'm not saying the only bad pass is an intercepted pass. Not at all. But I am saying that not all incomplete passes are bad passes. Sure, the suck on the stat line, but sometimes you have to protect the ball and throw it away. Or put it only where your guy can get it, even if it means an incompletion. People have been bagging on his decision making skills, but don't seem to want to give him credit when he makes a GOOD decision, even if it results in an incompletion.

Actually in this case. That is EXACTLY what you were trying to say.

I'm not comparing Manning and Croyle.

I'm referring the the fear people have for anything less than 8-8.

I wish he had one of those young QBs who never made a mistake, like other teams seem to find so often...goly gee we're so unlucky...we keep drafting the young QBs that play like young QBs! [/slapping forehead]

If you have to distort the argument of others to make your own points then I guess I can't stop you.
