Reviewing the Chiefs Quarterback Performance in Loss to Vikings

But basing the play of the qb’s on just last nights game, I would keep Guitterez over Thigpen. Cassel went on a Thigpen like scramble but actually made a good decision and threw the ball. Thigpen wouldnt throw the ball when he would start to scramble, and that just wont fly over the course of a game.
Croyle to me has solidified his role as the primary backup qb, and Guitterez really impressed me. But it will be nice to see how the qbs do in the next preseason game to really give a full analysis

Trade Johnson, Waters, Thigpen and/or Croyle and a second round pick for someone’s entire offensive line. There’s gotta be a GM out there dumb enough to do it. ;)

was “G Man”, because none of us could type it fast enough or correctly. Anyway, after having been able to get a better look at G Man, I was fairly impressed with him. He showed some good signs at QB, seemed poised, was throwing some accurate passes and was reading the D pretty well. He’s a solid # 3 right now over Thigpen.

I think they will keep him for this reason as a 3rd QB and spot player, but if they don’t have any interest in using him that way then I think he gets released.

I can see keeping Croyle over Thigpen, but over Gutierrez?!?!?

Why? If Gutierrez even sees 3 seconds of playing time this season we are in trouble. Essentially Croyle, Cassel and Gutierrez are the same QB, why not keep Thigpen as our 3rd stringer and use him in certain packages? Even if its only using the wildcat every other game, it is more valuable than having Gutierrez sitting on the bench. And all I hear is “Thigpen can’t run the pro-style offence”. What makes everyone think we won’t run the arrowspread at times this year? Pioli and Haley both come from programs that utilized a spread style offence, and lest we forget how shitty our o-line is? Cassel is not going to start 16 games this year from under center with this useless line.

have gut as the backup, since he is similar to Croyle minus the career of inuries, and keep thigpen for prank play purposes. Croyle probably has better trade value anyway

So Babb and friends can zip it on the Croyle vs Cassel thing and it doesnt need to be discussed here anymore.

Savage looked good on a few plays, too. A LOT more running room than other Chiefs enjoyed. Having said THAT, even discounting for lesser competition, Battle is significantly quicker off the blocks than LJ.

LJ and Cassel faced the real deal, starting with the Williamses in the middle, which is RIGHT where LJ ran. Not much glory in those carries, but I got the sense, same as versus Houston, that 4 quarters of takin’ it to ’em with LJ would soften ’em up, especially with Cassel extending plays and moving the chains, and the D giving the ball right back.

Chiefs owned the 1st quarter 1s versus 1s. 11:47 seconds time of possession, IIRC. This was largely due to Favre needing to throw the ball by design, and his relative immobility. Sadly, I get the impression that handing the rock to Peterson 3 times in a row would’ve produced the first downs they didn’t get.

GUTTIERREZ SHOULD STAY, WITH A LINE LIKE OURS WE WILL GO
THROUGH ALL OF OUR QUARTERBACKS SOON , ESPECIALLY WITH THE LACK
OF PROTECTION FOR THEM. WE SHOULD KEEP ALL 4 QB’S.
CASSELL WAS DEFINITELY MORE POISED, CROYLE AND GUTIERREZ
ARE ABOUT EQUAL , WITH GUTIERREZ LOOKING LIKE HE COULD TAKE A HIT.
THATS A BIG QB. CHEIFS RB SHOULD IMPROVISE MORE WHEN THE HOLE IS
NOT THERE.

You are going to get hammered by the self appointed “arrowhead pride police” for using all Caps
