I'm not able to watch the games cuz i have a mac and cant find a way to see it on my computer. Also, i'm in San Antonio and all i get to see are the Texans games...so...
Is it just me or is Huard getting sacked when he shouldn't be getting sacked. The only thing i have to go on is how he played the first 4 games of this year where he was a statue in the back field and when he couldn't complete a screen pass.
Are the sacks something the line is giving up or is it the lack of mobility by Damon Huard? Would the drop off really be that big if we brought in Croyle?
Once again, we're playing .500 football...just like every season, so we won't get a high first round pick, shouldn't Croyle be in getting experience for next year?

Huard is not mobile. The O line is not a step or two behind.
Put them together and you have the Chiefs offense in a nutshell.
Any complaints should be directed to HERM!

yeah, you're right. Let's get rid of the guy who took us to the playoffs his first year...with the same team that didn't make it the year before.
Wait, they weren't the same team. Last year's team didn't have Roaf. My bad.

As some wise poster has said before, we didn't make the playoffs last year, 4 other teams decided they didn't want to go so the NFL chose us.
The year before we were one of only 4 teams to go 10-6 and not make the playoffs in NFL history.
I think if we had made the playoffs in DV last year we would have won the Super Bowl.
The team was all together and were motivated. Lots of guys were trying very hard because they were planning on getting th Super Bowl win and were gonna retire, so they were gonna give it their all!

Huard brings experience and good decision making to the table while Croyle has a stronger arm and has more athleticism. In either case the "O" line has to step up their game. Sunday they weren't absolutely horrible, but are mediocre at best.

yes, this was a very moronic post.
do we give herm the sperm credit for getting us to the playoffs?
or do we give the fact that 4 or 5 games over the last 2 weeks had to go JUST RIGHT for us to win, and we were #$# lucky to get to go to Indianapolis and get our #$# kicked by payton for the second time in the playoffs.

I don't think there is a lot lof LUCK in getting to the play-offs in the NFL. I guess Cinnci & Denver and the other team that all laid an egg on the final game of the season just didn't get "lucky".
And why did we get our butts handed to us? Herm. Green obviously couldn't handle it. Herm said before the game he was on a short leash. This is no where close to saying "he's our guy, we'll go with him no matter what". He said "He's on a short leash."
So why didn't Herm give him the hook? Simple: He panicked. He couldn't imagine pulling the town favorite, regular pro-bowl QB to go with a career back up. He was afraid of the repercussions.
We needed things to go right? c'mon. more than half of the games in the NFL (even between mismatched teams) come down to a few plays. There is a fine line between 6-10 / 8-8 / 10-6. Probably 10 plays can change a season. But guess what? That fine line is NOT luck.
The Chiefs no more deserved to lose those games than they deserved to win the ones they lost. It comes down to coaching, preparation and execution.
This team will win the division. Why? They are good. Do they need to win close games to get there, sure. But when they do, it won't be because of luck. And if they miss it, for sure it will have nothing to do with luck.

Totally agree with ya here, I have been saying this for weeks just not worded the same. I also felt that despite the numbers, despite the 112 pass ratio, Huard was just average. If not maybe a little below average last week against Cincy. Just because we won doesn't make him money.

K here is where you lost me, since when has it been enough to get to the playoffs, I would much rather tank and take a good pic at this point then to ... get to the playoffs,
One even though we got to the playoffs last year, we didnt get playoff respect, we backed in, no one else wanted it they let us in, etc. How bout we actually have a rebuilding year, get the veterans that are on the way out (Huard, Kennison, Dunn) out and get the kids that are the future (Croyle, Bowe, Sippio Grigsby) some playing time so that after picking up a couple more pieces (which should be better due to higher pick) then we have a superbowl team. Rather then be mediocre, never horrible, never great, get to the playoffs and bow out in the first round, have a veteran qb that is a diamond in the rough, and was never a star but now is fairly good, not great, but only has a few years in front of him.
Examples of that are Huard, Green, Kreig, and as much as it pains me to say it, Montana (greatest qb in the football history, but by the time he was a Chief, while still good, he didn't have much time left and his best years were behind him.
Grbac was in there also and was only in the league 4 years, but again we still didn't draft him, thought since he was in San Fran that he must be gold.
You all know I could go on all day on this, but I will stop BTW Croyle might get in and be horrible, then at least we would know THIS offseason and we could go get someone else (draft please not someone else's worn out QB) If we dont get him 8 games as starter we wont know, and I am sorry but with how Jax, NE, and Indy are playing we may get to the playoffs but we arent going to make it to the Super Bowl. We may be leading the division, but in most any other division (AFC of NFC) we would not be, and to hear most analysts call it, even though we hold the head to head tiebreaker and the same record, SD still leads this division.
Put in the kid. Let him get his lumps in a real game. Whats the worst that can happen, we get a better draft pick.

What's the rush? You sound really, really worried we might make the play-offs. OMG - that would be awful. And we have a top 10 defense - what if in that, (don't say it, please don't say it) play-off game (OMG - he said it), that top 10 defense caused some turn-overs and we squeeked out a win. Imagine how far our draft pick would fall. Then to think the unthinkable - in the 2nd play-off game, a rookie stepped up and had a great/awful game???? Disaster. Bowe breaks tackles on 2 runs for TD's, TG gets one also, and the defense holds. I can't go on. We would be picking so late in the first round....
You are so right. Let's take out all of our starters now to insure good draft picks. The people paying $100 a ticket will still keep coming. They will know it's an investment in the future. Free agents will still be excited about joining our team even though we finish 3 - 13. But we better sit TG & Bowe, because they might keep trying to win. And the young safeties, get 'em out of there. Young'uns might actual intercept a pass and take a chance of securing a game.
Yeah - let's throw in the season and get better draft picks. (Imagine how busy this site will be....)

Just because you root against the Chiefs doesn't make you some superior Chiefs fan. I will never understand that cowardly (There's the attack you were asking for.) train of thought.
You seem to think that being the worst team on football includes some kind of guarantee that it will make you the best and that is as wrong as anything that I have ever heard.
If the world revolves around the "High first round draft picks", then how about trading away some of the lesser picks for the almighty savior that is a "high first round pick"?
I couldn't stand to see any team of mine play coward-ball. That kinda has a way of becoming a learned behaviour. You play cowardly, then you continue to play cowardly.
Take a look around at who is drafting in the upper half of the first round, each year. There is a trend in it.
Adopt a culture of being losers? No thanks.

1970, Last time the Chiefs were in the superbowl, Also the only superbowl win.
1968, 1977, 1981, 2003 Oakland SuperBowl Years, Won it in 1977, 1981
1978, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1998, 1999, Denver SuperBowl Years, Won it in 98, 99.
1995 only time San Diego has been to the Super Bowl. they lost.
37 Years is a long time without a SuperBowl, I am behind the Chiefs 0-16 or 16-0 I just would rather see a SuperBowl appearance rather then just another playoff run.
Ohhh and yes there are some perennial bottom dwellers but just a few years ago,
Eli Manning demanded San Diego not draft him because they were worthless and now look at them.
Last year Oakland was horrible, but this year they are ok.
It may have been a one year wonder but the Aints were a bottom dweller for some time and last year almost made the Super Bowl.
This year it will be a toss up for 1st pick but the Falcons look like they could end up with it due to losing ONE player, granted they weren't that great but they had a 27th selection in 2005. They did though they had 8th selection last year.
Need I mention perennial bottom dwellers Cincinnati , in 03 with the first draft pick Carson Palmer, they have been fairly good since then. One player can turn a franchise around. (they do have some issues but they aren't where they were.
One great player can make a world of difference. And while some greats drop way down and even out of the draft, a large number of them go top 10, if we are constantly picking in the 20s we are not going to get one of these top 10 players, Because teams that have these players generally don't let them go.

And exactly how many years would you like for us to be the laughing stock of the league? How many years did it take the Bengals? The Chargers? The Saints?
Oh and for the record, the Raiders being as decent as they are is not because of the number one, overall, pick. He hasn't been on the field.
Here's a concept. Tom Brady. Kurt Warner. Rich Gannon. One player can most definitely make a big difference. But there is no reason that that guy has to be from the top of the draft, nor even the first round, nor the draft at all.
We could do a comparison...
L.T. - 5 years in the league, zero Super Bowl appearences.
Peyton Manning - made it to and won a Super Bowl, in his ninth season.
Michael Vick - Sorry. I know that isn't fair.
Tom Brady - First year ever starting a game, won a Super Bowl. Then proceeded to win a couple more. (Sixth-round draft pick.)
Kurt Warner - First season ever starting a game, won a Super Bowl. Then made it to a second one, a couple years later.
Again, one player can have a major impact, but he often isn't the first guy drafted.

Agreed. Just because someone's drafted in the first round may mean he's good, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee that he will fit in to the system that a coach has developed. You also don't have to have a high pick in order to draft well.

Huard brings experience and good decision making to the table while Croyle has a stronger arm and has more athleticism. In either case the "O" line has to step up their game. Sunday they weren't absolutely horrible, but are mediocre at best.
Like I said earlier in the week, It was our crappy players against their crappy players!!! Guess their players are crappier!!

What's the effing problem here???
If somebody says to my face, one more time, that we need to put Croyle in, I'm gonna knock their damn teeth out before they complete the sentence because it's FOOLISH!!!
Huard has moved up to the 12th-rated passer in the league. Last week, he completed over 71% of his passes and had a rating of 112.1. No picks and 2 TD's. This guy is doing exactly what was asked and was expected of him when he got the starting job. Now, he's just starting to come on to play like he did last year more consistently. Now, some idiots want to smother the fire before it has really gotten going. Starting Croyle may have been a valid argument a month ago. Now, it's just stupid. Give it a rest, already. The horse is not only dead, it has been mutilated until there is nothing left but a greasy smear.

I was merely pointing out each players strengths against the other's perceived weaknesses, and that our "O" line will need to continue to improve. I was not endorsing one QB over the other. Now as far as knocking my teeth out, I'll simply chalk that up to an emotional state of mind.

I know you aren't putting up the Croyle picket signs, dude. I'm talking about the knobs that want to come on here starting the same, stupid, pointless thread week after week. I honestly didn't expect the Broyle bandwagon to be out in force this week and was disappointed to see some people holding on to a dead issue the way that chick was hanging on Stallone's arm at the beginning of 'Cliffhanger'. Especially after Huard is coming off his best week of the season. JMHO, but those who are still calling for Brodie as a starter at this point are just proving their foolishness.

Kinda have a feeling that this may be aimed at me, either way I feel that I have expressed why I want Croyle in, and it has nothing to do with Huard, I really like Huard. As far as knocking my teeth out, better bring Canada with ya lol. I am not posting new threads calling to bench Huard and bring in Croyle but I will respond with my feelings in a reasonable manner and insert facts and my opinions whenever I feel the need.
Am I going to be mad if Huard starts this weekend, No.
Am I going to going to be surprised when Huard starts this weekend. Again No.
During the game am I going to find spots I feel Croyle may have done a better job. Yes
Is anyone going to change my opinion, Not with threats, but with good arguments to back up their point of view, Absolutely there is a chance.
Last am I going to get offended at this post, others filled with emotion, or any post bashing me or my opinion.

You seem to think that being the worst team on football includes some kind of guarantee that it will make you the best and that is as wrong as anything that I have ever heard.
If the world revolves around the "High first round draft picks", then how about trading away some of the lesser picks for the almighty savior that is a "high first round pick"?
I couldn't stand to see any team of mine play coward-ball. That kinda has a way of becoming a learned behaviour. You play cowardly, then you continue to play cowardly.
First off, i had to edit the rest of your post because it was presumptuous and completely retarded. The Chiefs are the same old mediocre team they always are. Letting Brodie Croyle get experience isn't cowardly. It's smart to give your "QB of the future" game experience. Again, it all comes down to foresight. Carl Peterson doesn't have that. His motto is compete now, sacrafice wins later. Make no mistake, Huard is NOT our future. But at least we wouldn't have to wait ANOTHER season to figure out if Croyle is.
The Chiefs are re-building for the future. We're developing a dominant defense. We're lacking a dominant O-line and athletic CBs. We could draft those around pick 20 any year. But if we put Croyle in right now, he either proves he's THE MAN or we lose and we draft a QB high in the draft. I'm sure you look at it as lose/lose, but anyone with a brain could see that it's win/win.
And exactly how many years would you like for us to be the laughing stock of the league? How many years did it take the Bengals? The Chargers? The Saints?
Oh and for the record, the Raiders being as decent as they are is not because of the number one, overall, pick. He hasn't been on the field.
Here's a concept. Tom Brady. Kurt Warner. Rich Gannon. One player can most definitely make a big difference. But there is no reason that that guy has to be from the top of the draft, nor even the first round, nor the draft at all.
We could do a comparison...
L.T. - 5 years in the league, zero Super Bowl appearences.
Peyton Manning - made it to and won a Super Bowl, in his ninth season.
Michael Vick - Sorry. I know that isn't fair.
Tom Brady - First year ever starting a game, won a Super Bowl. Then proceeded to win a couple more. (Sixth-round draft pick.)
Kurt Warner - First season ever starting a game, won a Super Bowl. Then made it to a second one, a couple years later.
Again, one player can have a major impact, but he often isn't the first guy drafted.
This is another dumb argument. Ok, lets wait till the 5th and 6th round to draft our QB...that's a MUCH safer route than drafting him high in the first. :sign0153: There's risk to EVERY draft pick. I promise you that the players you made as example first round picks, weren't the problem on those teams and it's dumb to draw that comparison. The difference between the Chiefs and those other teams is that the Chiefs are ready to win now. The Saints, Chargers, Bengals, and Colts surrounded those players with talent that made them contenders. The Chargers/Colts etc. aren't one man teams. The Chiefs on the other hand have the talent they need to surround a super star.The Chiefs kinda did it backward...well, if you don't count LJ as a super star. they've rebuilt that defense and right now, we're lacking are clear cut direction at QB.
And by the way, Croyle isn't a first round pick either...shouldn't he be a super star by now?
Huard has moved up to the 12th-rated passer in the league. Last week, he completed over 71% of his passes and had a rating of 112.1. No picks and 2 TD's. This guy is doing exactly what was asked and was expected of him when he got the starting job. Now, he's just starting to come on to play like he did last year more consistently.
Umm, yeah, it only took the guy 7 games to get it going...against one of the WORST defenses in the league. If we could run the ball like that every week, he'd be putting up numbers like that all year...but apparently, that's a BIG if. How long will it take next year for him to get going...you know, when he's a year older.
Starting Croyle may have been a valid argument a month ago.
Trust me. It's a valid argument now too.
I honestly didn't expect the Broyle bandwagon to be out in force this week and was disappointed to see some people holding on to a dead issue the way that chick was hanging on Stallone's arm at the beginning of 'Cliffhanger'. Especially after Huard is coming off his best week of the season.
You probably didn't expect it because you don't know how a non-bandwagon jumper thinks. After 5 weeks of throwing picks and poor SCREEN passes, Huard has one good game against a horrible defense and suddenly he's a great QB?. The guy is a career backup for a reason. He's a mediocre starter at best. He's led us to a .500 record...oh wait, that's all Herm's fault...i forgot.
This team is gettin so much better than they have been in the past few years, but it amazes me that nobody sees that. We need a QB that will grow with this team, not one that will be here for a year or two giving mediocre performances week in and week out.
JMHO, but those who are still calling for Brodie as a starter at this point are just proving their foolishness.
Says the guy who thinks Damon Huard is a good QB after one good week.
You know what, not only do i think we should start Croyle, but i think we should've sent LJ to Tampa instead of Bennett. Even after ONE good week. His value would've been as high if not higher than at any point this season. Probably could've gotten a few high draft picks to fill holes at CB, OL, and QB. But, that would've taken butts out of the seats.
Like i said before, KC is all about competing now while sacrificing wins later. This is the last i'll talk about trading LJ though because if we didn't trade him to Tampa, he'll never be traded and shouldn't be now. Our depth would be depleted even with Holmes being activated.
I just think that, yes, we'd be giving up a super star, but we could've filled most of the remaining holes in our team with what we could've got in return. If we could've got an OL, CB, or QB in exchange thru draft picks or returning players, we'd only have one glaring position that needed to be filled and that would be at RB. But even RBs are one of the easiest postions to draft.....and all this could be in line going in to next season. Then, give them one more year to play together, and we could very well see a New England type dominant team in Kansas City. But again, it's all about those season ticket holders who don't have the foresight to see a "work in progress" or have the patience for one either.

I thought we should have traded LJ PRIOR to the draft this year. Bad attitude, huge contract looming, as high a value as you can get from a guy, it made sense to do that, grab a decent back from free agency, use the money to get 2 or 3 free agent offensive linemen in the next year or two and have some of those draft picks everyone covets so badly.
The Centaur looks human with this line. Maybe it would have been easier to take Centaur money to build a line that would have built another Centaur....

Appearently, anything that doesn't include becoming the crappiest team in the league is a dumb idea in Texas.
You just can't seem to accept that players drafted after the top-ten have become better than those who were top ten guys, on countless occaisions. A top-ten draft pick is not something that a team has to have. You can get that "saviour" player from anywhere, if you are lucky and know how to find them. Every draft in NFL history can show you a second roun, or lower, guy, who made a bigger impact than some of the top-ten picks from that year.
When you suggest that you need to have the "forsight" to "shank" a season and go after a high draft spot, it isn't "forsight" that you are seeing, it's the interior walls, lining your own colon.
You don't teach a team how to be losers, if you want them to become winners.

L.J. wouldn't have brought a real high pricetag, otherwise I would agree that he could go.

This thread just got back on track I see...
I think that what texas is saying is put in Broyle now and see if he is the future and sacrifice some wins to build for the future.
I don't think anyone would EVER say the CHIEFS would throw a game to get a draft pick.
I hope to God I am right or this sport will become another lost cause in the world of competitiveness.

The problem with high draft picks is the salary they get for doing NOTHING!!!!! They get paid ridiculous cash and haven't even played a down for the team yet.

Bo Jackson was signed first overall, he sat out the entire 86 season.
http://asp.usatoday.com/community/utils/idmap/28425861.story
So no one has to read a whole story bout the Raidahs,
It's been more than two decades since the top pick missed a game. Bo Jackson sat out the entire 1986 season after being drafted first overall by Tampa Bay. Jackson chose to play baseball instead, and that contract dispute worked out well for the Raiders.
Jackson went back into the draft the following year and owner Al Davis took a chance by using a seventh-round pick on the running back. Jackson joined the Raiders for the second half of the 1987 season and ran for 2,782 yards and 16 touchdowns before a hip injury in a playoff game in January 1991 ended his football career.

I agree, I believe in incentives I just heard Adrian Peterson is only getting 285 thousand this year, But if he wins, Rookie of the Year he gets a 250 thousand dollar bonus.
On the side against Rookie Maximum, if there had been one Jamarcus Russell would have been in practice much earlier and the Faiders would have had more cap room.
I believe that their should be a max player contract, but also believe that contracts should be much more incentive lined.
I think LJ should have gotten a bonus, that was directly proportionate to the number of yards he picked up for the year, but that if he had a career ending injury he got a certain amount cash, like a settlement.
I also believe that the injury money should not count toward the cap, but the incentive money should.
I believe Atlanta should not be able to get back any of the money already paid to Michael Vick, but also it shouldn't count against them in the future, He isn't going to be able to play so why should it count against them.
I also believe that Kevin Everett should continue to get paid by the team for some time, but that it should not count against them.
Does anyone know did DT count against our cap after he died, or this year Darrent Williams, does he still count against the Broncos.

Michael Vick is responsible for what he did, noone else. So if he got into trouble that will keep him from fulfilling his contract, then he should repay what he got from that contract. He is in breach.

The people that are able to compete in the NFL are SUPERHUMAN FREAKS!!!!
Unlike us, they will be working in their profession for only a short amount of their lives.
The learning curve, their physical ability, and their ability to learn the Professional NFL game of football, limit them to about 1/5 of the time each of us will have a career in our respective professions.
These guys who are expected to perform have sacrificed alot in their lives to be able to get to this point.
They may be injured (not their fault) their first play of scrimmage, and never be able to perform again.
Therefore the risk provides the reason for paying the top prospects the big dollars!

That is a one-sided opinion. Look at it from the other side. Why would a team have to pay for a Pro-Bowler and get nothing? If a guy got hrut on his first play and could never play again, then why should he get superstar money? He isn't a superstar. Of course he should still get something, but not as much as if he had played.

If a players gets hurt doing his job, then just like any other job, his empolyer should be held responsible. But not for paying him big-time salaries. But for some clear carreer supliment. In alot of cases, an employer will offer some kind of a "light-duty" job to the injured employee. I think that sounds resonable. But I couldn't imagine the amount of complications that would arise from the high number of employees that become injured.
If a player is hurt outside of his job, then that seems to be the players responsibility. And hopefully, he was covered by his insurance.

It is bad luck. In some cases, it is good luck. If Ryan Leaf had had a career-ending injury right away, are you suggesting that he should be paid based upon what Peyton Manning has done? If he had gotten injured, then he would currently be collecting NFL paychecks, I believe.

Agreed, I love watching the draft every year but then hate the 2 months of contract talks about these Rook's saying "I gotta get mine" when they haven't proved themselves in the NFL. Contracts in the NFL should be like the NBA where there is a cap on the amount a Rookie can make with his first contract. That will force the player to perform and "earn" his paycheck. IMO.
