You didn’t watch him much at Alabama did you…

i think a lot of his frailness though came from herm’s lack of conditioning for his players. get brodie behind a line that can keep D players actually away from him and get some more muscle on brodie with better conditioning, and croyle might make something of himself in the NFL.

That’s all you have? Can’t refute any of my points? Survey says: XXX. Sorry, we can’t send you home with the grand prize, but we have some lovely parting gifts for you, like this pack of disposable ladies’ razors.

And just FYI, there’s more than one Josh that posts on this site semi-regularly, and the one above your latest comment wasn’t me. Epic Fail. Try again.

Thats why Huard gave up. Huard was awesome when he stepped in a couple of years ago when trent got hurt. He had the second highest passer rating in the league. He did’t however want to die which he knew would happen behind our line. Huard did give up. It was hilarious, he would hobble three steps back and side arm the ball into the turf. He didn’t care, he just didn’t want to get smeared. The guy is old enough, he oculd have simply exploded if he took a hit like croyle did

Thiggy and Cassel are both injured and Martin is like the rest of the cast-offs that Herm brought in last year.

The end of the world is nigh, and we should all be sure our souls are right with God.

Your talking like RinTard.

Okay, we’re not doing flashbacks from blog-posts from the 2008 pre-season…j/k.

Intangibles? Really? Are we talking about his “rocket” arm? That arm has thrown what-SIX whole touchdowns? You can have a cannon for an arm, but if you’re throwing more picks (EIGHT) than scores, what’s the point? Mike Vick can scramble and has a powerful arm, but I’ll take the accuracy of a Brady or Manning over the arm strength of Vick any day of the week.

Are we talking about the intangible of toughness? Roethlisberger had a similar arm injury at the same time as Croyle last season…and played through the pain. Croyle is not tough…if anything, he’s merely a glutton for punishment. His body lacks the stamina to stand up to the wear and tear of professional (or college for that matter) football.

JP, you hit it right on the head. If he can’t stay on the field, all the “intangibles” don’t amount to a hill of beans (or in Herm’s case, fig newtons).

And yes, my time is valuable, Lee. Feel lucky that I’m wasting it replying to your nonsense.

It seems a given that he will be on the roster for 2009. However, if his deal runs out and he comes back wanting more money, one would assume he’ll land elsewhere.

if someone were to get hurt, can brodie take 1…2…3 sacks? Im not sure, I agree he has bad luck, but hes frail, there is a reason why being a QB in the NFL according to…Gannon is 1 in 206 Million(Said it on pros vs joes)..one has to believe its mostly due to the toll it takes on the body.

Guys like Roaf were able to be hurt, play hurt and hardly walk around, yet dominate in games, that cant happen at QB, Croyle, I hope, embraces that doug peterson role.

Doesn’t really matter at that point. Anybody that goes on the field will be handing it to LJ and not much more. Hoepfully, the OL will give the QB enough time to do that.

Croyle will make the team & dependent on his injury status could be the starter, the main backup or the third stringer.

As has been stated he is the best pure passer on the team, just as Ty Thigpen is the best runner among the QBs. Cassel? Ah…um…gesundheit yea- he’s the tallest…yay.

All of KC is behind you a& rooting for you Brodie!

Croyle is just too injury prone. I like his arm, I believe it’s better than Thigpens, but still every snap for me is a nervous one knowing that Croyle is like glass. You can see his determination and his talent but it might be too little too late for him. He reminds me of a kid who constantly says he’s sorry, with time it just gets old and that’s exactly what you end up becoming…sorry.

Cassel, may not know the offense, he definitely does not know that line and he will need this season to pick up the feel for this team. Needless to say, he will be baptized in Red and Gold this season. He will hurt, he will be confused at times, and he will fail at times. But he does look like a QB and acts like one. Remember how many games Thigpen won for us??? But who Cassel will be next season for the chiefs should make us feel willing to go through the fire with him this season.

Too bad the Raiders signed Greg Ellis. Makes sense though. He wanted to play DE in a 4-3. He wouldn’t have gotten many chances to do that here. I just hope our division rivals didn’t just pick up 8-10 sacks on the cheap late in the offseason! The guys running the show must feel confident in the pass rushing talent we already have. I’m not sold on this aspect just yet but we’ll see……

I half-wonder if “Search” and “Check” as Rin refers to them have been watching tape to see which players quit on Herm last year to determine who’s on the “short leash” this off-season.

TM-Intangibles are pretty important at QB. I’m sure all Croyle wants is the chance to compete, and the line he has played behind was brutal. Croyle does hold the ball too long, but he is worthy of a job holding a clipboard. Bet he’s a good teammate, too. Why cut him out of spite? Let him compete.

Here’s some of the reasons.

He’s one tenacious S.O.B. Think about how many days he’s spent rehabbing, not just with this most recent injury, but total, college and Pro. If you’ve ever done any rehab, you should certainly appreciate that. He is committed! He had plenty of reasons to quit, but he hasn’t!

He’s got some skills!

He’s tough as nails! Yes! In spite of the injuries.

He’s proven that he can deal with adversity.

He’s an underdog. I tend to pull for people who have a disadvantage but don’t know it, or won’t believe it.

Showed some leadership.

And
He seems like a hell of a good guy!

Those are things that can’t be taught. He’d make my 53.

GO For It Brody!

Good Luck!

True. Can we even count Huard, though? Seems like he just gave up, more than anything. He didn’t act like he wanted to play anymore.

Maybe if Haley can get his offensive line to block decently…(remember Brodie wasn’t the only offensive backfield player to go on IR last year)

I was thinking the same thing. Haley is, and will, get Brodie bigger and stronger, just like the rest of the team. When that happens, the possibility of injury is greatly reduced.

I think Martin is the better athlete of the two. He’s probably considered more durable but honestly who would not be considered more durable than Brodie? I guess it depends on who has the longest term upside for a trade down the road. The reality of the 3rd team QB playing a down with two QBs under 30 on the roster is probably pretty slim

And Rip ‘em…as far as compensation goes, what do you think anyone would give for a fragile #3 QB?

Anyway, something to keep in mind should the Chiefs be looking for some compensation for Croyle if he’s still the odd man out come training camp season.

Pioli/Haley cannot waste roster spots on this type of player. Does anyone doubt that with all his skills and intangibles, he will have a future in the NFL??

Go home, Brodie. I, for one am tired of you wasting my time.
