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.

Maybe both.

You still haven't named one.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I saw it with my own eyes? I hate to be the one to break it to you. They don't make highlight videos of shitty throws by QBs who don't look like they belong in big leagues.

Should I reference my play by play notes with times tracked?

I've never been so psyched to root against my own team as I am this year. Granted, it's for the long term sanity of the fanbase and my china collection, but nevertheless it's liberating

I think we should all take a Fight Club-esque viewpoint with this franchise--lose all hope. Losing all hope is freedom.

It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.

He didn't even throw Wilson under the bus when he ran the wrong route, Croyle took all the blame...that's sounds like leadership to me.

His arm is stronger and it was obvious that we opened up the play book when he was in, and shut it down when Huard was in.

Croyles only sin was doing what young QBs do....make mistakes. He given zero real games to prove he could play in a real game. That's the Chiefs for you. Develop a QB, but only if they play like a Veteran.

Huard - who is a veteran! - looked like shit, didn't score, threw the ball everywhere but the WRs hands, and injured himself...and was declared the starter by Carl anyway.

And now, instead of investing in the future, we're investing in a 34yr old career backup that no team in the league would sniff as a starter. This is TIME WASTED for the franchise.

9-7

"win now"

"window of opportunity"

Are you blind and reeruned too?

I saw 2 really bad INT's one where there was no one around him for 10 feet and he threw it off his back foot and threw a duck.

I was at the game Thursday against the Saints and he was missing receivers every where. He missed Gonzalez at least twice IIRC.

That is totally different.

He is not making ludicrous statements like Croyle only made 3 bad passes and he never under threw or overthrew. He also would never agree with that statement. It is ridiculous.

Personally, I'd rather be reeruned than blind.

Mainly because, if you're reeruned, you really won't care if you're blind. I'm pretty sure the Chiefs front office feels the same way.

Of course he did. I watched the whole damn Saints game in person. Hell, I am not even counting the INTs, he made bad throws all over the place.

**dirk digler** · 08-27-2007, 04:05 PM

Oh don't forget when he heaved the ball right down the middle of the field and almost got intercepted.

FAX · 08-27-2007, 04:07 PM

Of course, if you're blind, you bump into stuff.

But, you do that if you're reeruned anyway so it's a wash.

Everyone said it on this board...it was everyone's prediction.

"It is Croyle's job to lose"

Well he lost it. Plain and simple.

All he had to do was not look horrible. Well...

I was at the game too.

There's a HUGE difference between putting the ball between the receiver and the sideline, where only your guy can get it, and a bad throw. He's TAUGHT to error on the side of caution.

He throws that ball the slightest bit BEHIND him, and it's a Pick 6.

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've saved a few of your quotes in this thread. I'll be serving them up around week 8 I bet. Talking Can saw the same thing I saw. Green and growing, or ripe and rotting. We've got both what do you want?

The one he was THROWING AWAY?

Almost intercepted?

C'mon.

Holtus even made a comment after the game about that throw.

Paraphrasing:

You'd rather see him put it in the crowd, but he has the arm strength to get away with throwing the ball away deep down the field.
