I think we should play Thigpen.

At least it would be more interesting than trotting out the same old, veteran stuff that doesn’t exactly jive with being the youngest team in the league.

Even if he is “better”, I really don’t understand the point of spending some valuable in-game experience time on some veteran QB when this season is all about building for the future.

by rockchalk on Sep 7, 2008 9:10 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

I would disagree

on the grounds that I think that Thigpen is too bad to play in the NFL under any circumstances. Huard will at least help simulate a normal NFL game. Thigpen would not IMO.

If We Were Trading For An Older Vet

The list should start and end with Carson Palmer. The guy’s still in his prime and will be for awhile, his team is falling apart, the front office of Cincinnati is a joke, and he’s a class act a good leader and a top-notch QB.

And I think it’s only a matter of time before he gets sick of playing for the Bungles.

by UCrawford on Sep 7, 2008 10:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Can't imagine the Bengals would even entertain the idea

He’s signed through 2014. They paid him a $15 million bonus in ’05 and a $9 million option in January ’07.

The Bengals tried to find a quarterback for 15 years before Palmer. They spent plenty of high draft picks.

I don’t see this even being in the realm of possibility.

by primetime 07 on Sep 7, 2008 11:03 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I Think They'd Entertain a 1st Rounder

If Palmer has more games like he did yesterday. And Palmer would be worth it…that team’s going backwards fast but he’s still an excellent QB.

How so?

Seems accurate to me.
Brady is a douchebag, thus the collar poppin/frosted tips.
Carl, won’t draft a QB, I could see him trading for whichever Cleveland QB doesn’t make it.
KC needs Tebow. Hell, everyone needs more Tebow. Plus a nice God fearing man like him would fit in great in KC.
To those still hanging on to some pipe dream that Brodie is an NFL quarterback, get over it. The guys a joke and hopefully played his last NFL game today.

Tebow

is the ultimate system quarterback. If the Chiefs switch to the spread he would fit. As for Green…whats Blackledge doing now? Either sign Simms or take your chances in next years draft.

Not a bad option. Im almost surprised they havent signed up already…

I'd trust

David Greene starting Week 2 more than I ever would Tyler Thigpen ; ^ ) Huard can actually get yardage and if they actually play Thigpen I just dont know what to think. Hopefully Simms is starting to look more attractive as I for one wouldn’t mind seeing him in a Chiefs uniform.

I dont think we’d ever draft another QB (in high enough rounds to make an impact on next few seasons team) so I think considering the options a spleenless Chris Simms doesnt look too bad.

by KansasCityShuffle on Sep 7, 2008 10:15 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

The only time I wanted to see Thigpen

was 1st and goal on the 5 yd line. I thought he might have added a running option.

by HIV 2 Elway on Sep 8, 2008 9:41 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I Don't Like Henne

That guy was one of the most overrated QBs in college. He had the benefit of playing behind a great line with a very good running back (Mike Hart). His own performance though, was extremely mediocre. I think Miami’s going to be very disappointed with how Henne works out for them.

Was a better QB than Henne at Michigan.

Now with Noodle-Arm leading the way

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Henne man the clipboard for a season or two and then get dealt to some other team if Pennington looks like he has 4 more years in the tank.

by PVChiefsfan on Sep 8, 2008 10:59 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Henne

But here is the deal with Henne…. He can manage the game and at least has some upside potential as opposed to Damon. Even though I also agree that he is overrated, he still has played in big games and at the very least can manage the game, which is why I think he would have been a good pick for us due to Brodies reliability issues.

by Prospero15 on Sep 8, 2008 1:00 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

He's Was A So-So Game Manager In College

He wasn’t a great one, especially considering the wealth of offensive talent around him.

As Cris Collinsworth said last night, “game manager” is something of a backhanded compliment since it’s usually used as a euphemism to describe a quarterback who’s not all that good. Henne’s never been that good. I’d prefer to target John Beck before I’d want Henne…Beck played in a weaker conference but he was a stellar QB in that conference.

Henne's issues

I was listening to Colin Cowherd this morning and he had a guest on (can’t remember who) that was talking about Henne in Miami. Apparently a knock on Henne was that he has bullet-itus. Much like Brodie did (maybe still does) he would throw every pass as hard as possible. No touch, every pass was a line drive bullet. They think that Pennington will help him develop that touch because, obviously, Pennington doesn’t have anything near a bullet arm and has always had to work with finesse. I think they like Henne in Miami to be the future starter after noodle-arm moves on/out. I don’t think they would get rid of Henne, not after just drafting him.

As UCrawford mentions below, Beck is a more likely candidate out of Miami, for us and for them.

by Ochophosphate on Sep 8, 2008 1:47 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Why take Beck?

I don’t want anyone unless I KNOW they are better than Croyle.

Quinn, Beck, Henne, etc.? No thanks. We’ll be testing for our QB of the future when Hali retires.

by NJChiefsFan on Sep 8, 2008 2:01 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Reasons For Taking Beck

1) He’s the #3 QB in Miami…so we won’t end up having to pay as much for him as we would Henne. Especially since he doesn’t appear to be a Parcells favorite.

2) He was an outstanding passer in college. Croyle wasn’t. Is that a guarantee that he’ll be better in the pros than Croyle? Of course not, but then none of the likely options we’ve got (including Brady Quinn) are guaranteed to be better either.

3) He’s not shown himself to be overly injury-prone. So at least we’ll get a chance to see what he can contribute instead of waiting on him to be healthy enough to play.

Combine his inexpensiveness with his demonstrated potential and he’s not really a horrible gamble at all, so long as it’s a low draft pick we get him for. If the Dolphins want a first-day pick, though, we should certainly forget it.

Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

by UCrawford on Sep 8, 2008 2:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I guess my question is...

Why take anyone?

I’m not discarding Croyle yet, and he’s only out 2 to 3 weeks.

Huard plays. Reinsert Croyle when he’s back, and let him play.

I’d rather keep the draft picks. We might not get the QB of the future from the draft, but I think Herm and company have shown they can get good players through the draft.

by NJChiefsFan on Sep 8, 2008 2:33 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I Wouldn't Have A Problem Trading For Someone

If it’s a 7th, 6th or even a 5th round pick. Guys drafted that low have a low probability of paying off anyway. But I agree that if there’s nothing somewhat attractive available for a low pick that we’re better off drafting a QB next season and restarting from scratch. The receiving corps and line will have a year under their belts with a competent QB in Huard anyway so that will help in the development process a bit with a new guy, plus you never know who might be available on the free agent market.

I’m not discarding Croyle yet, and he’s only out 2 to 3 weeks.

Yeah, but that was an optimistic projection…they said they “hoped to” have him back in 2-3 weeks, which usually means there’s a good chance he’ll be out longer. As for discarding Croyle, I’m fine with putting him back in for the rest of the season if he demonstrates he can outperform Huard, but not unless he can clearly outperform him. Otherwise we’re just holding up the development of the rest of the team to give playing time to a guy who a) isn’t showing us that he’s capable of being a franchise caliber QB and b) probably won’t be healthy enough to ever develop into a franchise-caliber QB. Croyle’s inability to stay healthy should definitely count against him this season when deciding who plays quarterback.
