Chiefs’ Nation … let it begin

GO CHIEFS!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - this I’m very concerned about this season mainly because Brody Croyle is now at the helm. 56% completion rating in limited action, 6TDs, 6INTs … and no evidence of having gotten better or at least enough to be considered to run an NFL offense.

That coupled with the monster schedule the Chiefs have this season … wow, we could be in for a long, long, long season that ends quickly.

My heart would like to say 10-6 … my head says more like 7-9 … my realist says 4-12 …

Chiefs Nation … Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.

Right now the Chiefs have one quarterback on their roster who can win an NFL game … and it ain’t Brodie Croyle or Tyler Wishbone. It’s Damon Huard, the human fire extinguisher. – Jason Whitlock

Well, I think I’m heading down the road of agreeing with Whitlock on this one.

I know, I know Herm’s grand plan is to get younger … but (to me) the QB spot is where you want your #1 leader, right? And how is a guy who just threw for 38 yards against a mediocre defense (Arizona) with a long pass of 7 yards considered your main man? Aside from not throwing interceptions off his back foot like in the last preseason, Brodie Croyle hasn’t shown that he’s any better than he was last year and that’s troubling … since he’s already been dubbed the next Chiefs QB. At year 3 in the league, and a starting nod on the way - he needs to start performing like an NFL-level QB soon.

There are at least two guys on the street right now who have proven success in the NFL … and I have no idea why NO ONE is going after them:

• Daunte Culpepper
• Byron Leftwich

If they do decide to stick with Croyle, he at least has the cushion of the Chiefs’ conservative gameplans. The Chiefs run a conservative offense. That means they run plays that have a high percentage chance of being complete. We do have other playmakers all over the field. Croyle’s job is then to get the ball to the playmakers and let them make the play.

On the other side (defense), we are apt to look monstrous this season. We have the chance to be very in-your-face and aggressive … and that can only help the offense.

GO CHIEFS!

My heart says 10-6 … my head says 7-9 … my realist says 4-12 … you say?
