xxxlp,

Call me crazy, I like big time playmakers.

DD, yeah, it’d be nice to have Royal or Jackson, but at the cost of Flowers? Would you make that move? We may have (depending on how they keep up over the course of this whole season,) our starting CB’s for the next decade. I probably wouldn’t give that up for a WR. Ty Law and co. showed us the importance of having a solid or better starting CB tandem. And Kennison and co. showed us that we could still be badass on offense without a big-name WR on the squad. I’m happy with the way that 2nd round turned out.

Chase Daniel? I think he’s a little short, and I don’t know if he has the arm. And he’s got a lot of neck fat.

Welcome Dvon_pdx. Nice to have a Portlander in here, I lived there for about 3 years and loved it…considering moving back.

Tony is awesome. There are actually some guys on bobgretz.com right now that are cursing Tony for saying he was frustrated for not getting the extra 3 yards yesterday. Tony has earned his right to say when he is frustrated. I can’t believe how fast some people will turn on a guy.

Hey, can’t you guys squeeze T.G. into the header. Every time I see that he’s not up there, I get a little sad. The guy is maybe the most consistent Chief ever. It doesn’t matter how bad the game is, or how good it is, Tony always does his job and does it well. Give the man some love. One of you wrote about making them earn their arrowhead, replace Dorsey with T.G. He’s played very well and will probably be great, but he hasn’t earned it. Put Tony where he belongs.

From what I’ve seen, Croyle’s skills and level of performance has improved considerably over last season. It’s his lack of availability that’s become the issue for me. Put differently, I think he has the potential to be a great backup some day.

I think they gotta play Brodie Croyle as soon as he’s healthy enough to play. I don’t think he gives them the best chance of winning, but put him out their so he continues to fail and we don’t have to hear his name mentioned again, and we can all just move on from this disaster. My concern is that if Huard goes out there and continues to play, the coaches are going to make excuses and try and bring back Croyle again next year, instead of really adressing the problem.

As of today, I consider this to be a very weak QB class and I cannot see spending anything higher than a 3rd round pick for a QB in the 09 Draft. Btw, if you want to talk smarts, mobility, and accuracy then look no farther than Todd Reesing even though I highly doubt he’ll even consider an NFL career (2 years down the road that is). In terms of a raw prospect, I also like Josh Freeman too but I think he needs more time to develop before hitting the pros.

If we take a QB in next year’s draft, I say do it in round 3 or later otherwise bite the bullet and just wait a year or two when prospects for that position are better. I’ve pretty much given up on Brodie to the point where I hope we go after a FA or pick up somebody else’s 2nd/3rd stringer as a means of biding our time until a guy like Sam Bradford hits the draft.

Now if you want to talk Maclin, Coffman, or W. Moore as potential 1st/2nd rounders then yeah we can have a meaningful discussion about Mizzou draft prospects.

Brodie will without a doubt get the ball when he is ready. Huard did a nice job, but that is what your 2nd stringer is supposed to do. A good back-up should be able to maintain a .500 record for the games he is starting.

I think next year we will see Brodie, one veteran (may or may not be Huard), and one drafted QB. The final 11 games will definately determine how high of a pick they will spend on another QB. If Brodie can show us something this year, I think they will pick up another mid to late round guy. If he doesn’t, I think we could easily see a first round guy.

I personally hope Brodie kicks some ass. We will be sitting so much better going into the draft not having a glaring need at quarterback. I would love to be able to spend that pick elsewhere. I could be way off base…just my humble opinion.

Easy sport. Who’s annointing him the next Tom Brady? I’m not. Are you kidding? Chief’s have never even developed the next Chad Pennington. What I’m saying is there doesn’t appear to be any standouts at QB in the first five picks so do we reach or instead what a few rounds and take a flier on a smart QB? Key word…smart. One who can do all the things Croyle hasn’t been able to YET. Like not lock on just one receiver and actually have some field vision. He is very mobile and seems to know when to break out of the pocket and can throw on the run. He doesn’t turn the ball over. He’s accurate. He seems to have that natural leader aura. Short? Well ok, but see Drew Brees. That’s Chase. We’re not talking a Flutie midget. I just see football instinct in Chase.

I’m not a real homer. Yes I grew up in Missouri but I’ve lived on the West coast for 10 years and rarely get to see a mizzou game. But what I have seen I really like and I feel we could use our high draft picks for more O and D line help and draft a Daniel late for a low risk high reward. He has many of the intangibles that makeup a successfull NFL QB. And yes, ok, you got me. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to a bit of homerism. Maybe he’d even make Franklin a good #2 with the rapport!! Oh yeah, might as well draft Maclin too.
