Croyle and the rest of this season?

[greg3564]

This is a harsh opinion, but I'm throwing it out there.

So when do we start Croyle? The last game of the season? Unless they draft offensive linemen and acquire some talent off the market(which they won't) the O will be just as terrible next year as it is this year. So do it now. Yes, it will be tough. It will also show what he's made of in toughness and mentality.

They knew they had issues going back to last year and even the pre-season. Did they bring in any starting free agents? Nope. Did they draft any potential starting O-line players? Nope.

Herm and Peterson keep telling us that the team needs to be younger but keep bringing in old talent. ie Law, Surtain, Turley, etc. Instead they invested a boat load of money into an ineffective RB in Larry Johnson who didn't even have the decency to honor his contract. That guy is another T.O. and Moss and infects the locker room like a virus. They should have kept Bennett and sent his sorry a$$ packing when he pulled that. Call Vermeil what you want, but he brought in good decent players you liked and they performed for him. He didn't like LJ and I guess we're starting to see why.

Personally, the rest of this season is a wash. Yeah, we might win the West, but it sure isn't anything to brag about like past years. That will be it, because we can't even come close to competing in the playoffs. Start Croyle, maybe rotate some developing O line players and let's give the "QB of the future" some experience and serious playing time.

Huard will not win us a Superbowl, the O line will not win us a Superbowl and a strong defense alone will not win us a Superbowl. I want a Bowl appearance and I really could care less about winning the AFC West. I think we sell ourselves short and are settling for less if all we really care about is the AFC West. We as fans need to demand more.

I'm so disappointed this year. I knew we would struggle, but not to this extent. There are so many problems that this team needs to address. All the way from ageing corners, ageing QB and a failure of an effective O line. They need to really, really shake something up now! You also never hear if Huard has even taken a leadership role in this team.

Bandwagon jumper? My god, yet another person judging others' fandom. Makes me sick. I'm still here, aren't I?

Ahem.

Drama Queen.

Ahem.

Chill.

wasn't talking about you...or anyone here in regards to cheering for the Chiefs. More like small things like whether to fire herm or go with which QB and stuff like that.

I'm not about firing Herm. I am about seeing if we will have the need for a different QB next year. Something we won't be finding out his year. I still won't be surprised if they try to get by trading for a high round draft pick, and we end up with another backup QB from somewhere else yet again.

Speaking of bandwagon jumpers... You seem to be positioning yourself for an "I told you so" if the Chiefs miss the playoffs, while also positioning yourself for the "I told you so", if they make it.

"I told you mediocre wasn't good enough." Or "I told you that Herm could get us to the promised land"

no no no no...don't get me wrong. I'll be saying that in a few years. I'd much rather the Chiefs have used this season as "growth" year for their young players. It makes me sick every week Damon Huard is our starter. We're accomplishing nothing as a franchise this season. Even if we make the playoffs, as we're going now, we won't go far. And, we'd only be there because every other team in our division is experiencing similar problems to what we're having.

So, we might actually get a muligan for this season and could get a chance to do it right next year. This team is a good 2 years away from becoming a Super Bowl contender and I'd like to see Herm get the chance to show he can build a great team. He had a shot in New York, but his QB couldn't stay healthy.

i wish people knew what "backing into the playoffs" meant. That's not what the Chiefs did last year.

By God, you ARE Herm, aren't you!


Needing 3 teams to lose in order to make the playoffs is backing in. How often does that actually work out? Not very often. We were lucky.

[texaschief]

we won't be a contender until we're a top 10 team on both sides of the ball...or at least middle of the pack on offense. of course, that's what we said earlier this decade about our defense.

And I would like to see freakin' cows give milk on Mars????

HERM is a freakin' moron that will NEVER be able to build a team.

With the amount of talent the Chiefs already have, he may join the playoffs again, and again...

But until he changes his opinion about the POINTS (which he HAS mentioned...) our offense has scored, we are handicapped.
