The Brodie Croyle Era Has Started...Finally
Finally! Herm Edwards has gotten tired of watching Damon Huard lead one of the most boring offensive attacks in Kansas City Chiefs history and decided to do something about it. Brodie Croyle has been named the starter for the almost certain ass-whipping that we will receive this Sunday from Indianapolis.
As bad as the Chiefs are, I do not totally blame Damon Huard for how much they have sucked. He's constantly had the crap beaten out of him because of inferior offensive line play. However, if Croyle is our future, we need to play him now and sink or swim with him. At 4-5, Kansas City can still make a playoff run and in the worst-case scenario, we will get a high draft pick.
This article is pretty right-on about how Croyle is in a tough spot right now.
The Chiefs still need to open up the offense more if they are going to win games against good teams. At one point against the Colts, Croyle was 11-17 with 53 yards. 53 yards on 11 completions! They might want to think about running some routes that actually require a throw beyond the line of scrimmage.
Couldn't agree more Bret, the Chiefs are playing like morons right now. They do not play to win, they play not to lose. I will have a manifesto on this soon.
