Lemme know when you find the QB who dosen't throw INTs. I would love to have him too!! Too bad Brodie didn't throw any TD's either. He's never going to be good!! :bananen_smilies046:

How about the guy that was the backup in Jacksonville for 3 years? Garrard. He's got 2 for the season! Garcia??? Not bad either. Both have played over twice as many games as Croyle.

Say what you want, Croyle won't take us anywhere! Your sarcasm is awesome!! BTW, are you still holding out hope?

You're comparing apples to oranges. You're talking about Garrard and Garcia that have both been in the league for quite a few years and comparing them to a kid that has made a total of 5 starts in the NFL and trying to perform behind one of the worse offensive lines in football. Right now, projected over 16 games Croyle would have 11tds and 11 ints. Peyton Manning had 26 tds and 28 int his first full year starting. Favre had 18 td and 13 int his first year. John Elway had 7 tds and 14 int his first year. I'm not saying Croyle is going to be some kind of football god, but I think it might be a little early to judge him until he get's a little better o-line. I'm a little encouraged watching him. He's still making mistakes, but he's not making the same ones over and over. He's young yet and still thinks he has to do everything himself.

My point is that both Garrard and Garcia were available to be picked up or traded for in the off season. Once again, we did nothing in free agency. We decided to put our teams hopes on the shoulders Damon Huard?????? Yea, he came in and did well when the starter went down but to count on him as your starter going into a new season? With a rookie as a backup and no 3rd stringer?? Come on! Garrard and Garcia are both taking their respective teams to places not many people expected them to be. I agree he is young but I was not a fan of drafting him when we did and as you can see, I am still not a fan of his now. I hear people talking about his "strong arm", well, I think Favre has shown us that a strong arm doesn't mean accurate passing! I do think it is funny how you just compared Croyle to 3 of the best all time QB's though! My guess is that we will be looking for another QB in a few years.

I did that to show you can't tell how good a QB will be necessarily just by looking at their first year. He might stink. I might be calling for his release after next year. I'm just not going to judge a QB behind our line. Also, didn't Favre just break some kind of passing record or something?

Favre has just about every passing record there is now-- excluding the single-season marks that Brady has been shattering this year. Favre passed Dan Marino as the all-time leader in passing yards yesterday. He also has more TD's (and more INT's) than any other QB in NFL history.

He showed mobility, has good poise in the pocket, he'll learn with time. Until there's an o-line, and good special teams you can't judge him on this season at all,.

Brodie's going to be fine. The more I see of him now, the more I'm convinced that he could, actually, be VERY good. His arm is, dare I say, Favre-like, and his poise in the pocket has improved 100% from the pre-season. Give the kid a chance before ya dump on him.

Obviously you can't determine one's mood or decifer tone over the computer. I'm not mad at all. On the contrary actually. This is how I expected things to go! Look back at posts before the season began. I said I didn't like Croyle then too! Everyone is welcome to their opinion. I'm just voicing mine. I'm not cheering for Croyle to be bad, it's just how it is. He's certainly not as good as you want him to be! Without those two INT's yesterday, we had a chance at winning that game. They were silly throws! Like I said, strong arms lead you to doing things you shouldn't a lot of times. Ask Favre.

that is correct. I heard the same thing on the cbs telecast. wasnt this game though, i think they said that during the denver game when huard started.

Well, he's only a few games into his starting career. He's has a terrible line protecting him, so he might just feel a little pressure to get rid of the ball. He's still way better than anything Huard can give the Chiefs.

Most glaring is the sad *** defense that fails to show up in the second half of every game! I'm more inclined to give the second year QB a break over Law and Surtain, who have a combined 23 seasons of experience.

I'm just not going to judge a QB behind our line.

Here here, we don't have ay idea how good Croyle was. Huard came in last year and did an outstanding job with a better line, he came in this year and could get nothing done. Not a lot changed with Huard, other than another year being coached by Edwards, and the stripping down of the O-line.

I would really like to see Croyle behind an offensive line that could give him a couple more nano-seconds to allow the receivers to get a little more open. Right now, these guys cannot possibly do anything deep as Croyle is rushed on every play.

I say we fire the coach, but give the kid a chance.

Like to see it happen, but won't happen. Good Ol' Herm will lead his sermon into the 2008 season. :drunkhb:
hopefully in the draft and in the off-season we re-vamp that o-line and do some decent things. Maybe Croyle could get more nano-seconds in the pocket and have some decent protection.

Jeff Garcia? Seriously? :lol: The guy would fit right in with the Chiefs mentality of bringing in QBs in the waning moments of the careers. I can't believe Garcia would even be mentioned. The guy is 37 years old! He also has a decent coach and a line to protect him, and WR's to throw to that can actually hold onto a catch!

Garrard is doing well, but he has a team of WRs to work with and a line that works for him. He's also going to be 30 in Feb and is another example of why he shouldn't have been brought in. If he stays healthy he'll probably play three more years of good football. So that doesn't really help us long term.

We need a young QB that we can develop into a franchise player. The days of bringing in old washed up QBs, or any other player for that matter, to play two or three seasons is over. That mentality, thanks in no small part to Carl Peterson, has led us to the horrible situation we're in right now.

Like it or not, Croyle is our QB for the future. Even the great QB's like Elway, Favre, Marino and Manning all had rough starts in the NFL. Even Vince Young has struggled. It's a tough game and completely different from college and there is a big learning curve that can only be overcome with time.

This team is not going to see a serious playoff run for several years. So why spend a lot of money to bring in talent for one position? The whole team needs to be re-worked and that is going to take time and some good drafting. A lot of the older players will be jettisoned. I expect Dunn, Wiegman, Law, Surtain, Turley, Bell, Drummond, Carney and even Huard to be gone this off season.

Actually, Garcia has not done a whole lot better in TB. Their running game is what is doing the winning. With the exception of all the sacks we've had, TB's passing number are very similar to ours.

TB's total defense is ranked 3 and the Chiefs 15.
TB's total offense is ranked 19 and the Chiefs 31.
TB's running is ranked 10 and the Chiefs 30.
TB's passing is ranked 19 and the Chiefs 23.

So the QB difference is negligible. TB has a line that can allow their RB to get through. Their defense is capable of playing an entire game and not one half like the Chiefs.

If your talking about Jacksonville never throwing the ball, you showing your lack of knowledge. I bet they are in the middle of the pack. 15th or so in the league.

Again, you quote statistics without checking the facts. Jacsonville is 28th in the league on passing attempts per game with 28 a game. Kansas City is 16th. Now, you're showing your lack of knowledge.

Well, which is it? Garcia or the D? I'm sure the fourth ranked team in scoring rushing TDs has something to do with winning. Unless you are Herm in disguise, defenses really do not win football games. They help, but you have to put up points.
Uhhhh, 2 INT's don't help???? Obviously the D is working!!! What's that old saying? Old as in about, well, since football started. Defense wins championships. It's beginning to go taward an offensive minded game but D still rules the game. Plus/minus ratio in TO's is still one of the if not the most important stat in the game! Along with 3rd down conversion percentage I might add.

No, well rounded football teams win championships. You have to have the full package and not just one component. Under your logic, how did the Rams win? That team has nothing but offense with a average defense. If your offense can't score, then you can't defend a lead.

OK. This is the last one, as you just don't get it.

David Garrard is a decent QB. He also has the help of a 2nd ranked running game.

Jeff Garcia is average. He too is helped by a 10th ranked running game.

Croyle, and even Huard, have been working with a 30th ranked running game.

So what does that mean? That the O line at TB and JAC are leagues ahead of anything the Chiefs have! It would not matter who is at QB. If either of those two were here we may have a 5-9 record. Who hoo!!!!!! At Garcias age, he would have been hurt just like Huard was.

But the passing is very simialar and the numbers don't lie.

JAC 18
TB 19
KC 23

All pretty close, but the difference lies in being able to control the line and run the ball. The Chiefs can't do either. Then there is the fact the Chiefs have on WR and one TE that can catch. I don't know what you really expect of any QB that would dare to put on a Chiefs uniform this season. No one, I repeat no one, could do much with what the Chiefs have to offer offensively.

I don't know what the arguing is all about.

What should be discussed is how many yards per pass attempt in a game.

That is what wins more than 80% of games in the NFL.

All these other stats you guys are arguing about are moot.

Who has the highest pass yards per attempt out there?

If you don't have time to throw the ball down the field you will win very few games.

Crap I can't figure out how we spent an entire friggin' day arguing over this.

i think the real argument is should we really be comparing brodys stats already to anything? or should we give him some more games so his stats are actually "true sats" and not just "stats for his first 3 or so games"

i say it is way too early to even look at his stats...unless his stats were just GAWDAWFUL. but they are not GAWDAWFUL, they just are not good yet, which is ok.

If Brodie turns out to be a bust, we won't know until Herm is gone.

All other arguments are irrelevant.

I don't know what the arguing is all about.

What should be discussed is how many yards per pass attempt in a game.

That is what wins more than 80% of games in the NFL.

All these other stats you guys are arguing about are moot.

Who has the highest pass yards per attempt out there?

If you don't have time to throw the ball down the field you will win very few games.

Crap I can't figure out how we spent an entire friggin' day arguing over this.

I would think ypg would be a better precursor, wouldn't it? I would rather have a guy that threw 40 times for 400 yards a game than a guy that threw 20 times for 300, even though the second guy has a better yards per pass attempt. Does that make sense?

i think the real argument is should we really be comparing brodys stats already to anything? or should we give him some more games so his stats are actually "true sats" and not just "stats for his first 3 or so games"

i say it is way too early to even look at his stats...unless his stats were just GAWDAWFUL. but they are not GAWDAWFUL, they just are not good yet, which is ok.
I think this thread clearly indicates that there are more people than just little ole me that like to argue!!!! I was just stating my opinion about how I didn't think Croyle would put us over the hump. I don't care how many games he has played! I said this the day they drafted him. I was at the lakehouse and it ruined my weekend up north when I was listening to the draft and listened to them announce Croyles name! My opinion that's it!!

Nope sorry guy, it doesn't.

That means he had to throw too many times for too few yards.

Here is a quote from the October 2007 Playboy (yes they talk about football too):

"The most important stat in Football"

"We will give you a hint, it's not total yards, total yards passing, total yards rushing, or how many beers the quarterback downed the night before the game. The most important statistic for winning games in the NFL is yards per pass. Take the gross amount of yards gained in the air and divide by the number of throws. The result is the best simple indicator of offensive effectiveness ever measured. Try this at the office every Monday morning during football season: Have someone open the sports pages to the NFL box scores and without asking who won, or even the names of the teams, have him give you just two totals for each team-the number of yards gained passing and the number of throws.The team that averaged the most yards per throw will be the winner more than 80 percent of the time. That's how it has been for the past half century in pro football, from Johnny Unitas to Peyton Manning. Good teams alway finish in the top half fof the league in yards per throw; bad teams finish in the bottom half. Let's simplify this even more: In the most recent Super Bowl, the Indianapolis Colts, who averaged 7.9 yards per throw during the regular season (first in the AFC) played the Chicago Bears, who averaged 6.7 (eighth in the NFC). Forget the running game, defense and kicking game, and just remember the two teams yards per throw. The Colts, or course won 29-17. History says the Bears never had a chance"

"In 36 of 41 Super Bowls, the team with the higher yards per pass won the game, including last year's" Colts 6.5, Bears 5.9"

Argue that.

hey and i am not saying that your opinion is wrong!

you may very well be right!!

i hope he turns out to be better than expected though.

but i dont think anyone here is saying you are wrong about brody.

they tend to say more or less that you might be right, but most of us here on the board want to take a chance on him.

me personally, i want to see the chiefs finally try and mold a young qb instead of repeating history and picking up an old, end of career qb.

I kind of feel the same about molding someone, just not him. There were far more pressing needs when he was drafted. There are a lot of teams that are having success these days with veterans that have been "successful" backups in the league. I'm not talking about the Huards of the league either. We didn't even give anyone a look. I just have a feeling we will end up like the Bears or someone who took a chance and are left with a barely serviceable QB like Grossman!

You know I will. I agree that higher yards per pass attempt is a good thing, but which would you rather have a guy that throws 10 times for a hundred yards or 30 times for 300? What did the Playboy say about yards per game? I actually have a hard time believing you actually read anything in a Playboy.

This is funny!!!!!!!! Now your calling two of the most immobile QB's in history threats to run!!! You better ask some friends or watch some games or something because anyone will tell you they are immobile QB's!!!

Not a threat to run, but not as "immobile" as you are suggesting. Elway had a reputation for being a very mobile QB, and Manning appears to be immobile because he rarely has to move off of his spot. (Granted, Manning is far from a real mobile QB, but not, as you suggest, "one of the most immobile QBs in in history".

Dude, you said "If your talking about Jacksonville never throwing the ball, you showing your lack of knowledge. I bet they are in the middle of the pack. 15th or so in the league." A throw of the ball is a pass attempt. They are 28th in the league in pass attempts. Therefore, they are 13 places lower than 15th in throwing the ball. Is anyone else having a hard time understanding this?

My guy hillbilly has a certain unwillingness to admit even a minor error. This could take you days to get something from this. :D But it sure is fun to argue with him sometimes, ain't it?

prough91

12-18-2007, 11:38 PM

The guy that throws 30 times has a better chance of throwing more INT's that could go for TD's that would negate his yardage!! How's that!!

Or, dear pessimist, he could also throw for more touchdowns.

HH is posting quiet a remarkable stat. it is the stat that has the highest percentage of wins out of ANY STATS TAKEN, including who has more total yards per game.

and hillbilly had great comment, if you are passing for more yards while passing less (which makes sense, if you pass for 100 yards, whether you did it in two plays or 6 plays...there is a greater chance you had less turnovers if you threw less.

i like the stat that herm got from playboy.80%!!!! that is a high percentage!

Well since those guys have the exact same yards per pass I would take the guy who threw 10 passes for 100 yards, because then they were running the ball for 45 minutes of the game!

Pretty boring football, but a win every time.

If you read the beginning of the post Playboy says yards per game don't matter.

Go and look at the stats and it doesn't matter what Playboy says.

Int's aren't the issue with Brodie, because he is young and being pressured a lot.

Grossman was in the Super Bowl last year and he threw a bunch of interceptions last year.

Elway averaged 212 yds rushing a year, I wouldn't call that exactly immobile compared to say Tom Brady who only averages 75. (I didn't count his first year because he only played in one game and didn't attempt a rush) Granted, not a Michael Vick, but still in this day and age, that isn't too shabby for a QB.
