Herm interested in Leftwich? Peter King Thinks so. . . - Page 5

Chiefs the only team mentionerd in the article. . just specualtion

it's not known how many teams would be interested in acquiring Leftwich, because the move comes as such a shock. But Kansas City and coach Herman Edwards would surely be intrigued. The Chiefs have grown wary of placing their quarterbacking future in the hands of second-year passer Brodie Croyle, who has had a poor camp this summer.

Good point dude.

Still, he has to get some seasoning under fire. Why not let him do it while we KNOW we aren't going to the SB? Dangit, sacrifice a year and let the rooks play a bit and work the kinks out.

Everyone is so blood thirsty for a young QB that you will take anyone under the age of 25 regardless of talent.

Brady's first 3 games after Bledsoe's injury:

5-10, 46 yards

13-23, 168 yards

12-24, 86 yards.

New England should have given up on him.......

28 INT's.

Let's not talk about the 26 TD's he threw.

Know how his decision making improved?

They kept playing him.

And that couldn't have been because he had the best rookie campaign at that position (he set 5 different NFL rookie records) in the history of the NFL could it?

All he had to do was not **** up. He didn't have to be even good. He had to be mediocre and he couldn't do that.

I love how someone has the opinion that Croyle never will amount to anything, and the "what team do you scout for" question comes up.

**the Talking Can** · 08-31-2007, 05:38 PM

only the Chiefs would draft a QB, never let him start a SINGLE NFL game, give him 50 snaps in preseason with a shitty OL, shitty WRs, no LJ - the same OL behind which Huard looked like dog crap - and then declare him a bust and move on to yet another Vet retread...

all with the blessing of their fan base....Carl is a god damn master...

6 quarters in preseason. Not nearly enough. I suppose you failed to see the dropped passes.

Micjones · 08-31-2007, 05:41 PM

And just so we stop comparing Croyle's situation to the early-goings for Peyton Manning and Tom Brady...

They BOTH had STRONG SHOWINGS in the pre-seasons preceding their first full years, as QB, in the NFL.

Brady actually BEAT Huard out to win the job in New England.

Croyle couldn't do that. And Damon Huard is now 7 years older than he was when Brady beat him to the punch.

Sure... Let's roll the red carpet out for Brodie Croyle.

COMEDY!!!

Yes, there is a maturation process, but some of his reads made Elvis Grbac look like Peyton Manning.

it's way too early to reach any conclusions other than our offensive coaching staff is weak.

i might be more inclined to judge Croyle if he had been the only one who was sucking ...... but he wasn't, the entire offense stunk out loud.

the Oline couldn't block
the WR's couldn't catch
the playing calling was schizophrenic at best
they all looked to be ill-prepared and confused

the other QB's looked pretty crappy too. The only time the QB's showed anything at all was late in the game when terrell started flinging it and late in the game with Printers starter scrambling for his life.

hardly a ringing endorsement for the entire offense ... not just Croyle.

Do I really trust Dick Curl, Herman Edwards and Mike Solari to turn Brodie Croyle into a QB this organization can rely on for 10 years?

Absolutely not.

Brodie would have to have Peyton's IQ, Vick's arm, and McNabb's lower torso for that to happen.

We were wrong all along. Listen to Bad Guy, Brodie was obviously a bust way back in utero.

Or let's just get back to the point.

You don't get better in this league by sitting on the bench.

As an organization, you'll never know what you have in a player until you've given him significant playing time.

Tom Brady couldn't beat out Drew Bledsoe? He must suck. Good thing Bledsoe got hurt, otherwise it may have been another season or two before Brady got his shot.

Kurt Warner couldn't beat out Trent Green? He must suck. Good thing Trent got hurt, otherwise he may have NEVER gotten his shot.

What about the teams who "gave up" on Marc Bulger? Kid never played a regular season game, was cut based on PS performance, then gets his chance with the Rams and is a Top 5 QB.

We can all dig up this thread in 3 years when Brodie is still holding a clipboard on the sideline.

Please tell me one thing Brodie Croyle has done to warrant all this praise.

No kidding bro. You could put Joe Montana behind a shitty OL, with shitty WR and with an (at best) second rate RB and he would perform poorly.
