Croyle's The Backup ... And He's Nuts!
So, the Kansas City Chiefs have named their starting QB for the season and it's ... Damon Huard. Or is it Brock Huard? I always get them confused. Actually, though, does it even matter. If you're a Chiefs fan, you CAN'T be excited for the season based on what you've seen in the past three weeks.
In fact, things are so bad that Huard actually won the starting job by NOT PLAYING in the Chiefs' most recent preseason loss. That's right, Huard sat on the bench with an injured calf and watched Brodie Croyle go 5-17 for 45 yards and an INT against the Saints. And then, Huard limped his way into Coach Edwards' office to hear he'd won the job.
But after reading Brodie Croyle's comments about losing the QB battle, it's painfully obvious why he lost it. He's nuts! Don't believe me? Here's what he said: "I think they were sitting there kind of waiting for me to go do it, and I didn't do it," he said. "Therefore, they don't feel I'm ready to go. And we'll just wait our turn." He continued: "Obviously, I wanted to be the starter. It didn't work out that way. But we'll get our shot at some point and when we do, we'll make the most of it."
Um, did I miss something? Does Brodie Croyle have a siamese twin? If not, then why the *&^$ does he keep saying "we"? Who is "we"? Last time I checked, Brodie, it's just you. Although I guess, considering your numbers, it might be nice to have somebody else to blame for those incompletions. "It's not my fault. I wanted to throw a touchdown. He made me get picked off." Or, "I didn't question your suspect time management, Coach Edwards, or your silly holdout, Larry Johnson. I would never do that. ... He did it!"
See. How could you argue with that? Who would you even blame?
It's sort of like when you're on the phone with someone, and right before they hang up, they say "We'll see you later." That ever happen to you? It's maddening. I don't get it. But really, what can you say? You just say, "OK" and go about your business a little more confused than you were a minute ago. Which, as any Jet fan can tell you, is sort of how Herm Edwards looks late in the fourth quarter.
But good news. This year, when Herm gets that deer-in-the-headlights look, Brodie Croyle and his alter ego will be standing right beside him.
