Comments on: The Favre Fallout: Pennington To The Chiefs? http://arrowheadaddict.com/2008/08/07/the-favre-fallout-pennington-to-the-chiefs/ A Kansas City Chiefs blog Sat, 20 Mar 2010 02:33:30 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: xxxlp http://arrowheadaddict.com/2008/08/07/the-favre-fallout-pennington-to-the-chiefs/comment-page-1/#comment-16974 xxxlp Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:18:56 +0000 http://arrowheadaddict.com/?p=2096#comment-16974 That's what I'm saying.. they have basically a fresh new team, and instead of developing a QB at the same time, they ditched on him, and are trying to bring in Chad.. doesn't make much sense to me. A veteran QB with a very young line/bad WR's/TE's isn't going to amount to much. I would have kept Lemon in that situation.

He's a Jaguar now. It was really weird to me when they let him go though.. I felt like he was their only good QB. xxxlp, the Dolphins released Cleo Lemon a loooong time ago. He’s a Jaguar now.

The Tuna really wants to alter everything about that team. Can't say that I blame him. Good luck to them, they're going to need it, especially if they get Chad.

I think any teammate always wants to believe there QB is a leader and it should be expected of him. All I am saying that to the rest of us he hasn't proven that. I am not calling him a bad name or saying he sucks :) Well I don’t think his teammates are going to come out and say he is not a leader.

But leadership is constantly talked about as one of his biggest positives! You can't argue with the guys who are at practice and in the huddle with him and know what his personality is.

The whole thing with Brodie is that even his most fervent supports have to admit that he is unproven at the NFL level. End of story. You can’t say that he does have leadership yet either.

I know his teammates believe he can be a leader, but he hasn't earned that yet. Until you win a game in the 4th qtr or playoff game I am not sure your teammates truly respect you in that role.

You've said it yourself; he had virtually no run-game when LJ went down (4 wins with him, 0 without him, remember?) he had shoddy blocking. Playcalling was a definite hamper on our offense in general, especially Brodie. Two runs, then a pass, when everyone knows it's going to be a pass on 3rd and 5 to 10 yards to go? He wasn't able to complete because they had extra coverage. We were too predictable. This year I read somewhere that Brodie is going to have a little more flexbility in changing plays at the line. That alone should help, alot. With an upgraded line, that definetly can pass block better. A solid running game, where LJ is back full strength, and with J. Charles (who I think is better than Kolby, although I still like Kolby.) and better playcalling... this is Brodie's chance to shine. If he can't hack it this year, fine, talk smack and we can start talking about getting our hands on another QB. Until he gets a chance though, why do you insist on relentlessly bashing the guy? Tom Brady would have been pwned with our offense last year. Peyton Manning's consecutive game total would probably have ended, behind our line. You're perfectly willing to give a 7th round rookie DE a chance, but you want to behead a 3rd round QB who had no help around him. That makes sense.
