Breaking News: Huard starts this Sunday!
Shocker! Herm desperately trying to save his job??
http://www.kansascity.com/news/break...ry/811817.html For the third week in a row, winless Kansas City is making a change in its starting quarterback. Coach Herm Edwards said Wednesday that Damon Huard, the 12-year veteran backup, will get the nod against the unbeaten Denver Broncos. Tyler Thigpen, the former seventh-round pick from tiny Coastal Carolina who got his first NFL start last week, is headed back to the bench but may see action again before regular starter Brodie Croyle returns from a shoulder injury. That's expected to be Oct. 19 against Tennessee. Huard started against Oakland in Kansas City's second game before being pulled early for Thigpen. Thigpen made his first NFL start last week at Atlanta and was intercepted three times in a 38-14 loss that stretched Kansas City's overall losing streak to 12 games. |

Thigpen isn't or never was considered to be the future.

True.
Though you still want to have the best chance to win games. Thigpen doesn't allow that to happen. Huard at least has been successful before at some times. I'm not willing to just throw reg season games down the toilet like they're preseason games to see if a 7th rd pick from ECC that we picked up off of waivers list, can hack it in this league when most players from rounds 6-7 don't make rosters anyway. Hey lets see what James Killian can do. What Thigpen needs is NFL Europe. Which they dont have anymore. Thigpen could work on his pocket presence and accuracy and then we might have something down the road......it would be a long shot but maybe after he gets some live game experience under his belt. But to ask him to just come out of the gates against another teams starting defense at this high of level and expect the team to win let alone improve......is not only stupid.....but decisions like that should get head coaches fired. You find out about this kinda shit in preseason.....not reg season games. Regardless of what players have said in the locker room. There is a losing mentality on this team when Thigpen plays. He's throwing picks left and right, putting defenses in awful positions to make any kind of plays or preventing them from stopping anyone. That right there drives this teams morale.....or whats left of it at this point....straight into the ground. Do you really think our team coming out of the tunnel would think they have any chance against Denver with Thigpen starting??? what they say on camera is cliche and they don't wanna badmouth their teammates, but inside you know what players like LJ, TonyG and Waters are thinking. They are walking out of the tunnel at Arrowhead knowing their asses are about to get handed to them.

They don't have a chance with Huard starting either. In fact, I doubt Huard will make it for 4 quarters.

At least with Thigpen it's fun to point and laugh. With Horrid all you can do is bury your face in your hands.

We've won ballgames with Huard at the helm before, he doesn't give us a great shot to win, but he alone is not an excuse. It's 80% of the team and the coaching staff, that's why we lose. |

For my personal enjoyment I want to see huard because he can throw the ball up to grabs to bowe and TG and atleast try to let them make a play. Thugpen it just all over the place. I don't care either way. We are going to get our shit kicked in once again. So many holes to fill
