Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs signed quarterback Quinn Gray in an emergency situation. He played in one game for the Chiefs in 2008.
Wednesday, with their quarterback situation much more settled, the Chiefs terminated the contract of Gray.

So...
They really are looking at Brokie and Pigpen as backups. We never saw a win with Brokie so I thought they would get rid of him and stick with Gray. I guess I was mistaken.
There's no hope with dope...

Looks like Matt Cassel is going to be the starter
Chiefs released QB Quinn Gray.
Gray was only due $750,000, but new GM Scott Pioli didn’t deem the former Jaguar worth bringing to training camp. The Chiefs will roll with Tyler Thigpen, Brodie Croyle (knee surgery), and Ingle Martin behind Matt Cassel.

There is a chance that Brodie Croyle could be released
On sports they said if Tyler Thigpen stays there is a chance that Brodie Croyle could end up getting released or traded
If i was the Chiefs. I would trade both of them off because they both SUCK

if Smith falls to the third, he could be an absolute STEAL of a Right Tackle in Round 3. I don’t care how bad his Pro Day was, or how many character issues he has; with his talent and ability, I have to believe SOMEBODY will grab him in round 2.

I agree he'd be a ridiculous steal
But he’s not making it to round 2, much less round 3.
Too much talent. I’ll be shocked if he gets out of the 1st half of round 1. You’re also seeing some people mention that he didn’t run any worse than the other OT prospects at the combine.
I’ll be honest, as a RT in the NFL, the guy is just about perfect. Sure he’s overweight, but he’s always been overweight. I’d stick some weight clauses in his contract, and understand he’s going to be on the big side. I watched Bama play 5+ times this year, and he consistently stood out.
There’s no point in worrying about it, b/c the Chiefs aren’t getting him, but if used correctly, and motivated properly, he’s still looking at an fine career.

Not as concerned about his 40 times
Tackles don’t pull very often. I am concerned about his whopping 19 reps in the bench press. I think there are kickers that can do that many reps. Even if he dominated at the college level, if he doesn’t work out religiously he will get embarrassed in the NFL.

Doesn’t speak well for his character much less his toughness, smartness and his discipline.

exactly
We don’t want another Ryan Sims. But I have a little more faith (granted it’s not earned yet) in Pioli. We’ll see how his first draft goes.
BTW anyone else noticing that we all (well many of us, myself included) keep referring to it as Pioli’s draft and Pioli’s vision for the team, and not Haley’s? Am I on crack here?
by Eastcoastransplant on Mar 12, 2009 9:44 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
No. I'm with you.
I’ve noticed it too. I’m hoping that Haley turns out to be a good coach. IMO, his staff hiring has been underwhelming. I find myself going back to Pioli as the man in hopes that his sheer brilliance as our new GM makes up for anything the rest of the team lacks. :)
Actually, I think the focus will change once we start getting into OTA’s and mini camps. Now is definitely Pioli’s time to do his thing.
Vae Victis!

underwhelming
indeed. I see your point though and that makes sense. IPWT right? Yeah once OTA’s start and we see Haley start to define his vision for practices, interactions with players and the direction of the team, things will change, or so we can hope. I think it is also that he’s an unproven head coach and so we have no reason to believe in him or his experience.
by Eastcoastransplant on Mar 12, 2009 11:56 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
And
his former team managed to be good for one year. Pioli came from the perennial powerhouse, so based on past success we defer to his judgment right now. Plus the fact that free agency and the draft are the concern of the GM. The coach becomes the front-man once the playing starts.

The NFL is so much better do to the parity in the league. College is all about recruiting. College is more about the Coach’s ability to recruit than it is to develop talent, scheming or game planning. You can win on talent alone in the NCAA you can’t do that in the NFL. So to quit ranting and to get on with my point. The reason the SEC dominates is due to thier ability to attract top tier talent year in and year out.

you're in denial
So … if closing the gap with the MWC and proving that you’re better than the teams that finished fourth in the ACC Coastal and the Big 12 South are worth shouting about, then have at it.
The fact of the matter is that a 5-0 postseason record will only bring the Pac-10 to .500 (17-17) versus non-conference Football Bowl Subdivision teams. That’s what happens when your winning percentage in all non-conference games during the regular season ranks ahead of only the MAC, C-USA and Sun Belt.
Even though it ended with a flourish, 2008 was far from a vintage year in the Pac-10.

Far from a vintage year, I agree...
yet they were still 5-0 in bowls and had the best team in the nation. The conference record versus non-con is skewed because of teams like U Dub and Dub State. But what did the conference do against alleged powerhouses Ohio State, Penn State, BYU, and Notre Dame? Kicked ass.
The quality of bowl games the conference gets is unquestionably impacted by the rampant east coast bias the media applies to their arbitrary weekly rankings.

and am willing to say the Pac10 is a better conference. The big 12 makes it to bowl games because they spend most of the season playing against other big 12 teams which have among the worst defenses in the nation.

Drafting a QB
Looking back at the Patriots history they have always tried drafting QBs even when having a star onboard. I think just because we traded for Cassel doesn’t mean we wont draft a QB this year. I think it will be Cassel, Thigpen, and a rookie drafted in the middle to late rounds.

Thigpen and Cassel.
You know, it’s great to say that Thigpen sucks, but I guess I’m struggling to find how you’d manage to back that up. Especially considering that he had a season that was statistically extremely similar to Cassel’s throwing to receivers that weren’t, well, the Patriots’ receiving corps, while starting less games … ?
Sure, he didn’t win as many games as Cassel did, but most of the losses could be directly laid at the feet of late-game defensive collapses, rather than Thiggy’s inability to lead the offense.
And, when you take that into consideration, it either means that Cassel sucks, too (which I’m more than willing to allow for) or that Thiggy’s not nearly as bad as you’d like to claim.
[ And, for the record, Brodie Croyle is a damn good quarterback. He’s just far too fragile for the NFL. That’s not a knock on his skills, that’s a knock on his durability. There’s a huge difference, which you seem to fail to comprehend. ]

20 touchdowns in 8 games..News Flash for Champ : Get real..He was the best qb we’ve had in there since Trent Green in 2005 and get this Thigpen is 25..

Thigpen is the next rich gannon
Brodie is not a damn good qb..He has not looked like a good qb yet in any game I’ve seen him play in the nfl..He’s like decent..And then gets injured

Don't worry Brodie haters
He won’t be on the roster come opening day. If he has any value Pioli will get something for him, but I don’t think he does.
My guess is we draft a project in the later rounds and he’s our #3, but even if we don’t, we’ll bring someone in to ‘compete’ for the 3rd QB job, and they’ll end up beating out Croyle.
Now…I’d have rather had seen Croyle cut today, and Gray be left around to battle for the #3 spot, but I can’t really blame them for going this direction, Croyle’s younger, and its hard to make a case for keeping Quinn (30 when next year starts) as a #3 QB. On a team like ours that still has a ways to go, the #3 QB spot has to be a developmental one.
NOW, I will say, this move pretty much eliminates the posibility of trading Tyler, barring the signing of someone like Leftwich.
Now, lets go get Pace or Barnes!

I don't think anybody is a "Brodie hater" around here
Some have used less then diplomatic language when describing his prospects as a starter in the NFL, but for the most part we wanted Brodie to succeed. He seems like a nice enough guy and motivated to play, but he hasn’t been able to stay on the field. I wish the guy well, but we should have either kept Gray or should draft somebody else to compete for the #3 QB spot. If Brodie can stay healthy (a big if) and win the #3 spot, I say we keep him.

Looks like Pioli has his eye on a QB in the later rounds of the draft
Perhaps Nathan Brown? Guess we’ll find out in a little bit over a month……

I believe Croyle could be effective still
he has to bulk up, but he might have a better throwing motion then cassel, just sayin, he wouldnt have went in the 3rd round if he had no talent.

I think Croyle is a wash-out
bulk or not. He may have the skills and the mechanics, but he’s lacking durability. He even had injury problems in college. I’d be surprised if he ever plays in another NFL game. He is a supreme disappointment and every team in the league knows it.
Vae Victis!

Completely agree
I think its much more likely than not that Brodie never takes another NFL snap, at least in the regular season.

I think
if you look at all the busts as per this post, then it kinda proves your argument wrong. When a players is chosen in the draft it’s determined by his hype and potential (ok his potential talent and impact in the league), but neither determine if he’ll succeed. Brady was taken in the bottom of round 6 (199th overall). Giovanni Carmazzi was taken at number 65, beginning of round three. If your response to that is ‘who?’ that’s my point.
