Outside of Kansas City, bashing Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle seems to be en vogue. I’ve long stated that I don’t see him working out, mostly because he won’t be able to stay healthy, but there are other reasons. Daniel over at NFL Mocks has a similar opinion:

Let me say this Chiefs fans. Croyle was a third-round pick out of Alabama, meaning this isn’t a situation where you have to play the guy because he has already signed a huge rookie contract. Why are they already announcing Croyle their starter? Why not let some guys come in and fight over it? That’s the main thing I don’t understand, but there’s a reason Edwards (who I like a lot) is an NFL coach and why I’m not.

Maybe it will work out for the Chiefs. Maybe Croyle will be amazing and develop into one of the better young NFL quarterbacks over night. I just don’t see it happening.

Edwards says famously that “you play to win the game”, so maybe Kansas City can figure out a way to win “the game” with Brodie Croyle under center. Good luck.

He also states that he’s a Florida Gators fan, and was never even all that impressed with Croyle during his tenure at Alabama. He didn’t even talk about Croyle’s injuries either.

Anyways, why no quarterback competition? Simple–business. The Chiefs’ front office wants to project the image that they believe in Brodie, in order to garner excitement for the team and sell tickets. They also don’t want to destroy the young man’s confidence, because there is some hope, I believe even behind closed doors, that he could turn out.
