Chiefs Not Sure Who Will Start at QB

A quick note from Adam Teicher at The Red Zone:
Herm Edwards said the Chiefs haven't decided whether Tyler Thigpen or Damon Huard will start at quarterback Sunday against Denver at Arrowhead Stadium. It won't be Brodie Croyle, who most likely won't play until Oct. 19, when the Chiefs play Tennessee at Arrowhead.
Herm has to be doing this out of deception, right? The equivocating by the Chiefs coaching staff is really making them look like amateurs. On a side note, do you think that this waffling on the QB decision the last two weeks is part of some power struggle in the front office? I haven't heard anything even remotely about that but it helps explain some of Herm's behavior.
****
In other Chiefs news, the Star has a clip of Tony Gonzalez after yesterday's game. He's pretty frank about his frustrations with the offense but he still manages to do it without sounding like he's complaining.
Herm's thoughts on the team's performance yesterday:
"I don’t know. I think we went in phases. We battled back in the second half. We made it kind of interesting but they drove right down the field after a long kickoff return and that got us out of the game. We came back twice but we couldn’t put any points on the board."
Herm needs to stop trying to act calm and collected like his best bud Tony Dungy. We're not winning. Get fired up about it.

Jeffrey Flanagan
Said that Herm’s most recent comments indicate that Huard’s getting the starting job back against Denver. Looks like Herm’s distaste for Huard was trumped by the reality that Herm’s job is in serious jeopardy if he tries to get away with Thigpen as his QB for the next month.
Also, Flanagan said that the projected return on Croyle was Oct. 19th.

Correction
It was Teicher who said that, not Flanagan.

We have two options.
A quarterback that’s scored two touchdowns and has sex with skeletons
or a quarterback that hasn’t scored two touchdowns and has not had sex with skeletons.
I think our choice is clear.

Yeah...
because that worked when they threw Haggins in there…
If there were a rolleyes smiley I could do, I would definitely abuse it like Thigpen banging a skeleton… I’m just saying.

I'm not talking about running the option
with a guy who has no place on an NFL roster.
I’m talking about taking one of the best RBs in the league and finding creative ways to use him by playactioning Jamaal Charles on an end around (and maybe even actually handing him the ball like that) and then running LJ from that direct snap PA off tackle with a clever trap from Branden Albert (since we don’t have an adequate right side of the line).
You know, that thing Ronnie Brown did that resulted in five TDs. Its not Marques Hagans and Chan Gailey’s attempt to run the option at an NFL level. Its copycatting something that made one of the best defenses in the league look inept.

Agree with Sudden
In winning the football games, you gotta have “the element of surprise”…if the game is too predictable a la smash mouth football like herm often says, no wonder we get so many the “3 and Outs”
