Secondly, I was not opposed to taking Simms however what I cannot understand is why those of who question Brodie Croyle's durability would want to go for a guy who has not been able to play for almost 2 years. It seems to me you're being a little inconsistent there. Or could that just be plain old prejudice rearing its ugly head? First off, hilarious banner!

Hopefully this works out but there is so many things wrong with the Chiefs right now. Almost makes you want to root for another team - but I'm just too dedicated.

I think we just need to keep looking at young guys and hope to find one. Damon can hold down the fort until Brokie comes back. The brokie can play a couple more downs, and then maybe this kid will be ready for a look. I have no problem with this signing if they believe he has more long term potential than Simms.

A strong arm, maybe a few accuracy issues at times, and with scrambling ability. Obviously he's a good athlete if he played punter, receiver, safety, and QB as well. He's not going to look like Tom Brady (*snicker* Pollard Fan Club Tee's, woot woot) and he's not going to run like Michael Vick being chased by a rabid rottweiler *snicker again* but he's a decent project player. If we stick with him and ditch Thiggy, then this move makes a ton of sense. Damon will suit us for this year, and then he's probably gone. By then, Ingle should have a grasp of our offense, and if Brodie falters next year (or the end of this year) then we could turn to him at the start of the next season. KCMizzou, the Titan's didn't cut him from their practice squad, we snatched him up. They were given a chance to add him to their 53 man roster, but chose not to do so. Much like when we lost Ryan Lilja to the Colts. If Ingle turns out to do for us at QB what Lilja did for the Colts at guard over these years, then I'll be extremely happy. I still would have liked Quinn Gray better, but hey, if we're going for a project player, then this isn't a bad move. On a sidenote; I'd rather have a guy that backed up guys like Rodgers, Favre, and Vince Young, (Ingle), than a guy who backed up Tarvaris Jackson (Thigpen.) I can at least understand how he got cut backing up good/above average players (and a Hall of Famer) rather than a guy like Jackson.

Jay Cutler checked in at 60 mph, Brodie Croyle threw it 58 mph, Alabama State’s Tarvaris Jackson manages 57 mph and Bruce Eugene threw the ball 55 mph.

Popular sleeper Bruce Gradkowski ran a 4.59 and Ingle Martin’s 4.65 certainly helped further his stock. " From draft combine page a few years back -

Are we really going to keep 4 QB's? We can't cut Huard at this point. I sure in the hell don't want to see Thigpen out there. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If we cut Thigpen, this move kinda makes sense. Not as much as signing Simms, but at least we are keeping a guy we can develop because Thigpen will never be that player. Really trying to make this work in my head.

They tend to know what they're doing when it comes to quarterbacks. It also appears he can run, which will be handy seeing our O line is full of holes. I don't expect he'll start but hopefully he'll be better than pigpen. he obviously has something, seeing the Packers drafted him. They tend to know what they’re doing when it comes to quarterbacks.
