Start Brodie and take your lumps...he will get better. What I saw today was poor passing, no zip on the ball and turn overs. Let the young guy who can zip the ball, throw the ball down the field and give you some kind of chance to win.....PLAY!
We did. Herm begged Croyle to be decent enough to take the job. Guess what? He SUCKED. He had one good drive in the pre-season. He had HUGE mistakes. There are a lot of arguments to make about starting him anyway, but to imply he is a better QB at this point is ludacris. The idea that we went with a more experienced QB over a better rookie is insane.
If you watched 30 years of Chiefs football, you must have meant regular seasons, because you obviously missed this pre-season....
Now - to say let's start him anyway and let him get better: this is a valid argument. But to imply he out-played Huard is nuts....
You can only have one favorite team. There are no "second favorites".
