Unlike Chris Cooley, I photoshopped my penis out of the picture before posting this.
- Whoops, we missed yesterday's signing of WR Nate Hughes to the practice squad. QB/WR/Whatever Marques Hagans was released to make room.
- John from Gang Green Nation has a FanPost up asking for questions about the Jets. Head over the to participate.
- When asked by the NY media if he had called veteran quarterback Vinny Testaverde yet, Herm Edwards said, "Not yet. He’s on my hotline, though."
- I'm starting to get behind Tyler Thigpen, only because of the ridiculousness of the Kansas City Chiefs QB situation. Dwayne Bowe seems to like Thigpen - "He brings a lot of energy. He’s always ready to get the ball out of his hands. He's not willing to take a sack, and he’s likely to just take off."
- I was just about to link to Jason Whitlock's solid editorial about Larry Johnson then he had to go and mention Jeff George at the end of it.
- Bob Gretz has lots of advice for Larry Johnson.
- This is a legit question: Do the Chiefs currently have the worst quarterback depth chart...of all-time?
- Man, I still love this video (FYI music plays when you start it).
- Herm as a college coach? Thoughts?
- C.E. Wendler places the blame for Brodie Croyle's injury squarely on the shoulders of Herm Edwards.
- Ooohh...the Real Clear Sports Scoop Counter pitting NFL writers and reporters head to head.

Herm
He’s unfit to be a coach at any level. Just because somebody held a job in the pros does not mean they’re capable of winning in college (e.g. Dave Wannstedt, Greg Robinson, Dave Shula, Paul Hackett). I don’t think Herm has the ability to run an entire team…his vision of how things should work seems to be limited to defensive backs.
Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

As For Whitlock
Yeah, he needs to give up on serious references to George. The guy would have been a good signing for us five or six years ago, but it’s over.

I don't think he was being serious
any more, I think he uses that to try and take some of the edge of his critical statements

TMQ this week mentioned Jim Schwartz
D-coordinator for the Titans (and rennaisance man). Don’t know much about him, but I am intrigued at the prospect of him becoming our next head coach.

I wouldn't
blame Herm for Brodie’s injury. Teams get penalized all the time and end up in bad field position every week in the NFL. I would be more likely to blame CP because he’s the one that let the o-line get so old. Now we have a bunch of new guys on the o-line who are out-matched and that’s mainly why Brodie’s out for the season. I admit Croyle is a fragile guy, but even Gray will spend alot of time on his ass.

The think I love about those highlights
Is that he gets out of a collapsing pocket which is how you would describe the Chiefs’ pocket 9 out of 10 times. The bad thing is he will be on the run every play even when he doesn’t need to be.

The thing I love...
he threw a deep pass that didn’t go out of bounds. Amazing.

He definitely has talent
I hope we can utilize it.

OH Damnit!
I thought I would be the first to say “ZUBAZ!” in the top 8 comments….+1 to ashleylat for the good eye
…And really Chris, you’re a god damn grown man wearing Zubaz? I love it! Keep it classy hombre

Zubaz are awesome
However, one thing that is not awesome is sleeves. Man, do I hate being at Arrowhead with sleeves on.

A Tattooed Baby?
Please tell me that’s PhotoShopped or those aren’t permanent. Parents who would permanently tattoo their infant should be forced have the words “IDIOT” tattooed across their foreheads.

But seriously
That pic is disturbing. It has to be photoshopped.

God I hope.
Anyone that would do that to a baby, should not have that privilege of being a parent.

I Don't Know That It Is
I surfed around a bit and found some where parents did tattoo their kids. The tats that most of them did were temporary ones just for their own amusement, which isn’t a big deal. But apparently there are some who do them permanently. Read one about these neo-Nazis who got dragged into child court for tattooing a swastika on the back of their infant’s head.
Talk about setting the stage for some serious daddy/mommy issues when they get older.

Ha !
you walked right into that one………

And by the way
Bowe was only being a team player and no receiver with the skillset he has and in his right mind would ever lobby for Thigpen. He’s all we got so he’s be supportive. But lets make no “bones” about it, Thigpen is a poor excuse for an NFL QB and as Chiefs fans we simply should be ashamed. Utterly ashamed
Gray wins the starting the job this year….
Quite possibly I’d say we have the worst QB depth chart of all time. For the 18+ years I’ve followed the NFL I can’t recall a team with a worse lineup than us. You’d be hardpressed to find one.
After last weeks performance I was ready to write it all off. It was summed up well by one poster who said if his wife ever hurt him this bad as the Chiefs had – he’d divorce her. It’s hard to sit, watch, and be supportive of an organization you know is setting itself up for failure
Let’s be clear luck had nothing to do with our problems this year. It was just lousy management

But its you Zubaz wearing Chiefs fans
The keep pulling me back in. The franchise I can write off, but not the diehard fans. Good to the core!

In regards to Thigpen
Yah he may suck at being a QB right now…or maybe forever but I have to give the guy credit. Coming in as late as he did and with no chance to actually win, tie or salvage the game, the kid played with heart. A great more heart than I saw out of many other players, including the entire defensive squad.
Say what you want but Thigpen is at least “trying” to make a difference, he did after all, lead us to both of our scores last Sunday.

No doubt about his heart and effort
but he needs to combine that with the ability to complete a pass to Chiefs WR.

I agree...
It’s just nice to see someone actually trying to improve the Chiefs situation. He throws waaaaay too high, even Gonzalez can’t reach the ball most of the time.
If he can settle down, he might turn into something. If he had a good, veteran mentor and was not on a Herm Edwards coached team, he may actually have been able to develop into a solid backup.

As Somebody Else Pointed Out
It’s unlikely that the Chiefs are going to be able to help Thigpen develop. They’ve got one coach on the roster who’s actually developed an NFL QB and the Chiefs have him coaching wide receivers.
Even when the Chiefs have tools at their disposal, they’ve got no clue how to use them correctly. They’re kind of like that old TV ad I once saw for Pep Boys (I think) where a guy goes in to get his car battery replaced and the mechanic takes a different battery that doesn’t fit and tries to hammer it into place…while we see a flashback of the mechanic as a kid pounding a square peg into a round hole until the peg finally falls apart and the remains go through the hole. That’s Herm Edwards.

I want the Chiefs to go after Carolina Panthers QB coach Mike McCoy
in the offseason, I think he would be a great mentor to whoever we bring in.

If Herm And Carl Stick Around
I have no doubt that Dick Curl will continue to be our QB coach.

He did such a great job
As “clock management” coach.
And you must keep him around, if for nothing else, for the comedic value of his name.

RE: The Cody Paul video
It is fun, but Ben Wilson could probably be the starting MLB right now. I’m only half kidding, this kid brings some pain.

ahhh... little league
where white kids can still be running backs.
The D highlights were the best though.

I liked Wendlers article.
He said what I have been trying to say for three years, but could not make it sound that good. I am glad people who cover the Chiefs other than us are noticing that this team will not change under Herm.
