Maybe This Is Why Chiefs Chose Bill Stull And Not Matt Gutierrez

After the Kansas City Chiefs signed QB Bill Stull on Tuesday, head coach Todd Haley said with Brodie Croyle's injury they needed someone in there who understood the offense so they wouldn't miss a beat in camp. Stull was with the club in rookie minicamp so it seemed to make sense.

But some wondered why the Chiefs didn't pick Matt Gutierrez, who spent much of 2009 with the team.

Here's a possible reason: He's visiting the Chicago Bears, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.

Matt Gutierrez is on his way to training camp to at least visit the team, multiple league sources have told the Tribune. It's not known yet if he has been offered a contract, pending a physical evaluation.

Surely Chicago is a better spot for Gutierrez than Kansas City. Croyle has entrenched himself as the second quarterback on the team while Chicago, well....this week alone they've gone after Trent Green, Todd Collins and Gutierrez -- all three former Chiefs quarterbacks -- so their backup position is clearly up for grabs.

Anyone have any guesses on how long it'll be until Damon Huard gets a call? Casey Printers, perhaps?

[Editor's Note: Actually, I missed this: They did call Damon Huard.]

According to NFL.com

They have already gone after Huard and he turned them down.

Collins is the third quarterback to reject the Bears, according to league sources, with Trent Green opting to stay retired and Damon Huard also turning them down. Without paying any guaranteed money, some veteran free agents fear they would just be a camp body for a few weeks while Hanie heals.

Bears’ search for Cutler backup continues after Collins says no

Cutting Goot and keeping Palko was a BIG mistake.

If the Bears want a Chiefs QB so bad...let's give 'em Palko.

Definition of Douchenozzle = Nick Wright

This is totally unrelated, but guys, I gotta say, of all the times I have been on this site and read other people’s conversations about Nick Wright, whether good or bad, I have not said anything or made any opinion about him. Mostly because I am outside the general area and don’t catch his show. However, I do listen to Todd Haley’s presser on a daily basis, and it is more often than not, that Nick Wright will ask loaded questions that he knows dang good and well will get Haley and the Chiefs into trouble for answering. What an absolute dick. Check out Haley’s presser on the mothership and tell me I’m wrong. Go to the 4:45 mark and you’ll see what I mean. What he is digging about has nothing to do with the field of play. He’s just trying to be a jerk.
Well, now I guess I have an opinion.

Yeah.

Needless to say how pathetic it is that he would give his name to a sham product like that. It’s already been proven that they don’t do what they say they will and also cause extra strain to your achilles and knee joints. Jeeez Joe, I’ll loan you a few bucks if you need the money that bad.

What is the connections between the Chiefs old QBs and the Bears?

Are the offenses just similar?

by JaySoy on Aug 17, 2010 4:00 PM CDT reply actions  

Mike Martz and Al Saunders/Vermeil were the same type of offense.

by Ryan in Nixa on Aug 17, 2010 4:01 PM CDT reply actions  

do we have the worst group of QB in the league?

seriously our choices are between Stull and Gutierrez?

like choosing between syphilis and Chlamydia

can’t we find some legitimate NFL QB talent?

by Home skillet on Aug 17, 2010 5:19 PM CDT reply actions  

Hopefully neither (Stull and Palko) actually take the field in a real game...

And one (maybe both…) will get cut when we go to 53.

Just need arms in there for camp.

by seered on Aug 17, 2010 6:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

last word (yeah, right) or at least one other thought here ...

Croyle isn’t going to be “down” for long, I’m sure … maybe a few days, during which time they DO need more than just Palko out there

so maybe, just maybe, as Haley & Co already know that Croyle has a handle on the offense (pretty clear from camp and his reps against Falcons) it’s possible the “idea” here is to look at someone OTHER than Palko … the JICSH Principle

replace Cassel and Palco. Brodie’s our only chance. We need some good back up’s for Brodie.

Or perhaps James Killian and Pat Barnes. Yeah…I went there.
