There was a quarterback injury during Sunday’s Chiefs-Pats game.
Oh, wait. You already know about that one.
But there was another one. Chiefs starter Brodie Croyle left with a shoulder injury. Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that he’ll miss two weeks.
Damon Huard replaced Croyle. It remains to be seen whether Huard or Tyler Thigpen will start the next two games.
Some teams will utilize a veteran backup as the game-day understudy, but use the younger quarterback if there’s a full week to prepare for the next game.

What would you give up to bring back Brady Quinn?
Apparently, it's not a tough system to learn. He may not know that system, but at least he'll be able to perform. But, if you're trading for a guy (like Quinn) you'd be making a loud statement about the future of Croyle's future.
The replacement will obviously be Thigpen. I just don't think Croyle should be the guy anymore. The O-line has improved, but its not perfect and the QB needs to be able to take a hit. Croyle would be good behind the Pats O-line. We need a guy who's built like a Mac truck... someone like Quinn.
You can think Croyle shouldn't be the guy all you want. The fact of the matter is Huard will be starting and Herm will still start Croyle when he gets back. It won't even matter if Huard, or even your boy Thigpen plays well. Croyle is Herm's boy and he will be the starter.

He'll be able to perform? How do you know this? Is Quinn available? Who do we give up for him? Has he won an NFL game? Huard is a proven QB that got us to the playoffs in 06. I agree - not real mobile. But neither was Green. Sometimes its all about making good reads and decisions and gaining the confidence of your teammates...
SHUT IT
Its easily Huard fellas. Herm said it in the post game conference. Huards starting. With good blocking Damon has never been bad for us. Support him
We could always enter the Chris Simms sweepstakes.
I don't think our leadership is going to make any changes.

I wouldn't be opposed to Simms... or even Culpepper at this point.
