NFL Roster Cuts: Just Two Quarterbacks For The Kansas City Chiefs
by Joel Thorman on Sep 5, 2010 8:42 AM CDT
in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Preseason
Email
PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs included in their roster cut down on Saturday evening quarterback Tyler Palko. He had a rough camp and didn't really show a whole lot so I think many knew there was a good chance he would be released.
But this also means that the Chiefs have just two quarterbacks on the roster -- Matt Cassel and Brodie Croyle.
Todd Haley went with two quarterbacks in Arizona once so it's possible that the Chiefs carry just Cassel and Croyle.
More likely, though, I think the Chiefs look for a third quarterback out on the open market. Chiefs GM Scott Pioli likes to keep a developmental quarterback on the roster -- Matt Cassel anyone? -- in the chance that he can strike gold twice with another Tom Brady.
Considering Croyle's injury history, I suspect the Chiefs will target another quarterback.
Check out all the players that have been released and see if you can pick out a quarterback candidate.

Depends on who does the shopping...
Haley QB’s tend to be shorter and w/ a gunslinger mentality (Glenn Foley, Tony Romo, Kurt Warner). All of the 6’4, 230 pound prettyboys have fallen by the wayside w/ Haley (Neil O’Donnell, Drew Bledsoe, Matt Leinart).
Pioli, on the other hand, likes the textbook QB (Bledsoe, Brady, Cassel, O’Connell, Gutierrez).
Both QB types need to be athletic enough to get out of the pocket and have above-average arm strength. Not necessarily a cannon, but make the throws-type good.
Just something I noticed awhile back…

Haley's QBs?
This is the first job where he’s had a significant say in personnel, so I think it’s premature to say what kind of QBs he likes. He was previously just coaching the guys given to him.
Unsure of that one, Tarkus.
I can see your point in his Jet days—he was just a wideout coach. But in Dallas he was the offensive (sorry, Parcells doesn’t do that…“Passing Game”) coordinator, who brought Romo in, promoted him over Bledsoe, and helped Tuna Bill usher the Romo era into being.
Same in AZ: It was under his watch that Leinart was dumped for his backup, a man who was supposed to be washed up named Kurt Warner. There, he WAS offensive coordinator for a Super Bowl run.
You’re right: This is his first “true” personnel job, and I admittedly am drawing some lines here. But I don’t think I’m as far off as it seems.

You really think
Parcells deferred to him over who would be the starting QB?
Or even Whisenhunt, for that matter?
I’m sure he had input, but at the end of the day, he had no real say. Just look at the situation with Weis. From day one, he’s said he’s not a personnel guy, but a coordinator. And sure enough, despite all the “experts” expecting Notre Dame guys to be drafted, none were. And Weis is a far bigger name than Haley was at his previous jobs.
Or to put it another way, if Weis preferred Croyle, but Haley preferred Cassel, guess who’s starting?
I agree--the buck stops w/ the coach.
I doubt Parcells deferred to anyone, but I do recall that he had a lot of respect for Haley and made him a coordinator early on in Dallas. Whiz and Haley surely had the same relationship Haley and Weis have now: You’re my coordinator, but I’m the coach.
As I said, I’m probably not right—it’s all shirttail speculation. Just some details that I noticed (and connected) about a year back, and only mentioned as food for thought/discussion. Haley’s 2009 training camp comments on Croyle got me thinking…
Not trying to suggest this is gospel truth or anything, and I apologize if you saw it that way.

He wowed everyone at the combine in all the drills.
It is not the physical skills holding him back, it is his size, and the fact that it sounds like he is having trouble learning the position in the NFL.
I see

Don't know a lot about most of these QB's....
But, we’re going to need someone. Brodie isn’t durable enough to have no one behind him.

They were awesome in college, and If they’re your third string guy, what does it hurt if they’re no good? I mean they can’t be worse than Palko was, and they hopefully won’t see the field this season anyways

Weis is suppose to be a QB stud..

If this is the first thing that pops in your head, I’d wager the above comment errs on the side of fallacy.
The Chiefs will see a return to respectability in 2010, emerging as the front runner in the AFC West! ....And I'll quantify that however I choose. Ahem.
i don't think weis breeding QBs holds a candle

Seriously, when have I ever been sarcastic?
Jamarcus Russell
Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present...
What about J.P. Losman?
He wasn’t a bad starter for a while. Definately not good, but he could be a really good 3rd QB.
Smile, its the second best things you can do with your lips!
Isn't he with the UFL
And that is an interesting question if he is. Would you rather be a starting UFL QB or a #3 NFL QB?

But that doesn’t mean that you don’t want to actually play.

I like Lefevour
His downside is he doesn’t have a big arm but otherwise the kid is a pretty good prospect. Based on our offense it’s probably something that he can manage.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
KC could just be going with 2 QB's
That’s what Green Bay does. And then they stash one on the practice squad.
16-0 here we come!!!!
The problem is that most of the goo developmental guys will go on their own teams practice squad.
If we want one will will probably have to put one on the active roster in order to get them.
The bigger issue is that you're developmental QB is open to other teams signing him
Teams can swipe players off each other’s practice squad, they just have to make them active on the game day roster for so many games. If (god forbid) Cassel ever went down and Brodie was made the starter, you could have a scenario where a team could scoop your number 2 before you could
16-0 here we come!!!!
He is available only if he is on the practice squad.
If he is on the roster, he does not have to be one of the active 45 on game day. As long as they are part of the “right 53” nobody can touch them.
True, was talking about if KC only keeps 2 on the active roster and stashes 1 on the practice squad
It’s how Green Bay runs their roster and is why they cut Graham Harrell
16-0 here we come!!!!
That is why I think we will have 3 on the roster.
In order to get one of these guys off a PS we will have to put them on the roster. Otherwise the only guys we will sign are guys that can’t make their own teams practice squad.
Its also why they lost Brian Brohm
Go Chiefs!!!!
Tom Brandstater
Denver wasn’t in love with cutting him and he just spent an entire offseason with Peyton Manning. High-character guy with smarts who has shown flashes in the past…seems like a “Right 53” type of guy.
Colt Brennan or Graham Harrell are at least upgrades over Palko with better upside potential.

The only guy who even remotely jumps out is LeFevour….. Take your personal feelings about the guy out of the equation and Leinart is hands down the best QB available. Throw in the fact that he has to know that at this point in the season he will most likely have to play this season as a #2 or #3.
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
I think the question should be,
“who has more starter potential in a couple of years and into the future?”.
by NJ Chiefs Fan on Sep 5, 2010 10:21 AM CDT up reply actions
I think Matt Cassel has ALOT to prove this year and if he can't deliver with some consistancy then having a guy like....
…Leinart on the bench wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
I’m a Cassel supporter but we will know if he is the future QB of the Chiefs after this season.
Not to mention Leinart would be great trade bait sitting on the bench if we so chose to utilize him that way.
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
Sorry Big Red...you make valuable points but I just can't get on the Leinart bandwagon.
If he shows up I’ll support him. But I really, really don’t think he’ll be any good—and don’t think he’ll be good for this football team.
I’m willing to be wrong…I just don’t think I am.

Huge distraction for this team. Hollywood Matt needs to go to Minnesota or somewhere.
Just like Vick has been for the Eagles.... oh wait...
I’m trying to get this team better not trying to find a good 3rd string QB.
Leinart would either push for the starting position or be good trade bait… either way it’s a good thing.
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
I'm not talking about this season....
Unless someone was really hard up…. If Leinart comes in, competes, plays well and pushs Cassel next preseason then I would bet he either takes the starting job from Cassel or he becomes a valuable trade piece.
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
And what cost would it be to us?
I’m not saying that we should pick him up on waivers, thus absorbing his contract (I think). I’m talking about signing him to a 1 or 2 year inexpensive contract with accelerators built in, ala Mike Vick, and see where it goes. No one is going to give Leinart starter money… or a starting job right away, he’s gonna have to earn it. Why not let KC see what they can do with him? Whe have the coaching and the organizational backbone to reign this guy in. He isn’t TO or 2.7.
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
I think that's Leinart's big issue
From what I read, he doesn’t work to improve, compete, push himself. He “deserves” to start. If this is truly the case, Haley will have NO part of that BS.
Chiefs WILL!
the only reason they couldn't trade him
was his contract.

by MountainManMike on Sep 5, 2010 3:28 PM CDT up reply actions
They could have traded him
if they assumed most of his contract, which they’re going to have to do anyway. Assuming there were takers.
And Mess With Cassel's Psyche
You could bring in just about anyone and not mess with Matt too much, but bring in the guy that supplanted him in college and I think you have problems on your hands. Not even from Matt so much as the fanbase clamoring for Leinart after Cassel’s first interception. I just think it doesn’t make sense from that stand point.

i said the same thing in another post
cassel might be strong enough not to crack, but i think it’s too big of a risk compared to the benefit of bring in leinart
Seriously, when have I ever been sarcastic?
If Cassel is that fragile that he can't handle competition then he never had what it takes to begin with.
These are grown men who get played to play football. Competiton should drive them not make them tuck thier tail between thier legs. Geeeeeez.
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
It is unique but Cassel has delt with this crap his entire football career... I don't think it scares him.
At least this time he has the upper hand.
And for everyone who says “AP will be calling for Leinart after Cassel’s first interception”, I say “What’s any different with Croyle on the roster?”
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
I don't necessarily disagree
But Leinart just doesn’t strike me as a "right 53’ type of guy. That concerns me more than the awkward situation with Cassel.
I’d rather go with a guy who accepts being #3 for now, but has a real chance to develop into something in the future. Leinart was a #10 pick, and would have likely been a #1 pick the year before. I just don’t see him ever accepting a role as a backup, even if that’s his only option. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you’re a team player. I’m just not sure he is.
thats my feelings exactly…

Leinart is really no different in shortcomings than Cassel
They both have tendencies to check down too quick, both don’t have a cannon arm, both haven’t looked very comfortable in the pocket, however Leinart has CLEARLY demonstrated his lack of leadership, maturity, and hard work, thus far, so he is behind Cassel on those aspects. If Cassel doesn’t work out, having Leinart, who is essentially the same physical QB with less intangibles, doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
Moving on….

Im thinking we will go find a Possession reciever if we can
I would LOVE it if langford sees the door and we bring Rolle in…(why not right)
and bring in an offensive lineman
to make those 4 moves(3 roster 1 PS) I would get rid of langford, Daniels and Cole, if I had to keep one, I keep Cole of those 3
I would look at yesterdays cut and immediately take Gales, Brown, Harris w/G.Brown obviously

and I know that gets REALLY old…since we have coaches, but he sees things others dont, hes like a poor poor poor man’s john lynch, and a good ST guy.

from Rotoworld
Seahawks claimed QB Zac Robinson off waivers from the Patriots.
The likelihood of Matt Leinart showing up in Seattle continues to decrease. Pete Carroll got a good look at Robinson in the Pac 10 last year, but the team is expected to try to re-waive him and put Robinson on the practice squad. They’re still only planning to keep two quarterbacks on the final 53.

Nice discussion guys...
My thoughts are as follows:
No on Leinart. He has enough starts to grade him as being a dissapointment. With little potential in my opinion. Work ethic/attitude questions. And then throw in what y’all are saying about he and cassel at USC. I say no way.
If we are saying that we have coaches who can develop a qb. And the third string isn’t supposed to contribute today. Then let’s take a flier on a young guy like Jevan Snead who’s athletic and has an arm. Comes from a pro style background. Was an elite prospect out of hs. He’d be at the top of my list if we take someone to shelter and develop for 2/3 years. Just my take. Good list. Thanks.

Also
I’m a little tired of hearing about spread offense qbs from college being attractive options in the NFL. In particular any QB from Texas Tech’s scheme. The others I’m much less familiar with. But, the guys who put up all those numbers in college, sure seem confused at the next level. Give me a young guy who was a winner in college, who played primarily in a pro style offense to try and develop.
by KCLonghorn on Sep 5, 2010 1:47 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
!!! TROY SMITH !!!
I would take him as our starter today.
I’d also bne interested in Jevan Snead and/or Graham Harrell as developmental guys.
