Give Brodie a chance

[figcrostic]

let me start by saying, I originally gave Brodie a chance, but after awhile I started not to like him, he was a gunslinger and a bad one. He had the arm but he didn't have the accuracy, on screens he threw the ball way too hard which ended up bouncing off a rb or wr's hands. He threw a lot of interceptions and got hurt a lot, so I kind of wrote him off. Thigpen came along, and he wasn't a traditionally good qb, but he completed passes, had a better touch, and fought his *** of. To me he saved the 2008 season for me thank you Thigpen. We got rid of Thigpen and maybe it's a good reason, he wasn't a long term fix he was a bandage. Since then I have seen Croyle play a couple games, and he looked more patient, he listened to what he was told and executed, and he looked and acted tougher. In his game with the Ravens here were his stats: 66.7 completion rate that's 16 out of 24 177 yards 7.4 average 2 TD and 0 interceptions those are really good stats against a good pass defense. The only reason he didn't have more yards, is because it's when we had LJ and we wanted to run the hell out of him even though he did nothing, and he didn't even know the system because he wasn't the starter. In the game Brodie also was sacked 3 times, and didn't break. Here's the thing I am not a negative person, if you look at most of my post they are positive towards the Chiefs, I am just tired of having bad QB's, if Cassel came in and was awesome I would love the guy I don't hate Cassel as a human being and wish no ill will to him, but he has not been playing good in fact he has been completing just over 50 percent of his passes which is horrible. Give Brodie a chance, what's the worse then that's going to happen, if he does bad and Cassel comes back pissed and does great, then great, or what if Brodie comes and kills it then great.I wanna win and be winners, and if something is not working then change it.

Brodie just needs an actual chance with a decent team. Not sure anyone will be good with the same team he has played with. I dont think you can blame or judge his career on just him. you have to consider the situations as well.

Here's the deal, you can say the exact same thing for Cassel. The difference is Cassel has already proved he can be good with a decent team around him.

Well said rep.

I wonder if Pioli would make the same trade for Cassel this season after watching Croyle start for an entire season. I honestly don't see much difference between the two. They basically come up with the same result thru different means. The reason you're seeing Cassel struggle this year is the same reason you saw Croyle and Thigpen struggle in this type of offense last year. The offensive line just isn't capable of giving these guys enough time on a consistent basis to get into a rhythm.

Since this upcoming season is supposed to be an uncapped season, I wonder if starting Croyle for the remainder of the year might help give Pioli an idea of whether or not he should cut Cassel and either move forward with Croyle or draft a QB in the first round. Cutting Cassel wouldn't bother the Chiefs in an uncapped season.

This may be Pioli's only shot at a muligan. I wonder if he'll take it.

That being said, I think Cassel has had a couple bumps in the road the past couple seasons, but don't forget that he's basically playing with the experience of a sophomore in college. He needs better coaching. He should be fine.

Durability is still a concern with Brodie, it would be hard to see Brodie start an entire season as he cannot stay healthy an entire season. Don't forget, this guy had two seasons to be the starting QB on this team and could not stay in the game.

So yes, I think Pioli does make that trade, I think Brodie gets traded over Thigpen if Brodie was able to remain healthy, but since that is not the case, his value on the trade market was less.

Hey Frig. Just bump one of your many existing threads on the "Cassel is a bumb" topic.

Every post doesn't have to be a thread-starter.

Fixed your post.

[figcrostic]

Fixed your post.

LOL good fix

Hm, looked like Cassel played good for a good portion of the half. Pressure came down and the whole team stopped playing as a team.

And yesterday, we found out Cassel has an Arm. We just need to devlope the whole team more overall.

Brodie has his chance, for 3 years now. The only thing he does better is he has a quicker release than most QB's and against Cassel, he gets rid of the ball instead of taking the sack. I still wonder why the hell he has a job.

The only thing Brodie does better than Cassell is not get up after a sack to prolong his lilfe.

If Brodie was starting since day one, he probably would be on IR right now.
