So...

[Hootie]

Generally, I give the coaches of professional teams the benefit of the doubt over "know-it-all" fans...

But Herb friggin' Taylor played great at LT today and you cannot tell me he isn't better than dumbass McIntosh at RT...

and the fact DeMorrio Williams has been riding the bench the whole year with our awful LB'ing core is ridiculous...

and Surtain doesn't deserve his starting spot back when he's healthy...I think Carr has been our best CB so far...and Flowers has been pretty damn good as well.

**** our coaches.

He made some good reads and staying in the pocket and occasionally rolling out to hit the open reciever(Bowe). Croyle seems to rush the throw and doesn't display nearly as much awareness that comes from learning how to read defenses/hitting open recievers/accuracy/and more importantly winning.

I don't think a young QB would imitate Damon Huard...Huard is definitely athletically limited and nowhere near possesses the qualities of a top prospect at QB...so the "fetal position" problem we have with Damon probably wouldn't be something we'd have to worry about with a guy like Bradford.

Either way, Garcia/Huard/Croyle/FRIGGIN' Thigpen...I don't care...if we take a QB top 10 next year I don't want him to sniff the field.

Well Huard makes some reads sometimes and he has a lot more poise in the pocket, but most of the time he knows where he's throwing the ball before he takes the snap...we don't have a great pass blocking line and Huard isn't great at progressing through his reads, we all know that...but he throws a catchable ball most of the time and targets our best offensive players and if LJ is going he can win games and he's always shown that while he has been in KC.

We can do much worse (Thigpen)...

Yeah, I don't remember where I read it but when LJ is on he's statistically gives us a 65% better chance of winning.

collectively our coaches' brains couldn't power a pen light...

I think eventually I'll be ok with Herm and Chan I just think Gunther is way out of his element.

I don't know, I change my mind every week.

Did you see Gunther blitz on the goal line today?

He wasn't going to sit back with the game on the line at all...

I agree with that.

I suppose the main point of my argument is that I'd like someone I consider a winning QB starting, and that's not Huard. I'm talking about a good vet who can get us to the level of a 9- or 10-game winner next season. But, as I said, how do you get that here, if, at the same time, we plan to bring in a rookie who'll be handed the job in 2010 or 2011....

Although I really don't see us drafting QB.

Really? That seemed to be one of our bigger needs in this years draft and we just put it on queue to give Croyle a chance and I don't believe we have our QBOTF on this team and that just bumps up our need for a QB in this upcoming draft.

Lenny said that McInTrash had the key block that busted LJ for that 65 yarder today. If so, I forgive him but he still needs to be benched. Keep Albert at LT, keep Herbie as his backup for this season, and let McInTool keep working on his technique. Next year, though, we need some decent depth at o-line if we can possibly find it so we can move Herbie to RT which, I believe, is the best possible solution based on the players we have now. If, however, we could find a good center someplace, I'd move Niswanger to RG. We could potentially have the makings of a pretty decent line, at that point.
