One good thing from Chiefs loss to Panthers

If you watched the “game” on Sunday you already know that not much good came out of the Chiefs 34-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers. One that thing that was good for the future of the team was the QB play.

I can hear you already “hhhWHHAAAT?!!?” and  “he said WHAT?” and yes that’s right, I said it. By having Damon Huard play so bad that they had to put in Thigpen for relief was a good thing for the future of the Chiefs. If Damon Huard would have went out and played a great game (win or lose) there would have been a QB controversy. Herm (and Carl) would have been in a tough spot, they would have been asking themselves this question:

Do we want to try to win now in what appears to be a wide open AFC West or give Croyle one lost shot and see if he can stay healthy and be our future QB?

While the Chiefs seem committed to this youth movement we all know that in Carl Peterson’s history he has always tried to win now. How do we know that he wouldn’t try to pull this again in one last “last ditch” effort to regain some respect (what little he has left).

So I would just like to say “Thank You” to Damon Huard for sucking it up last Sunday and allowing the Chiefs to move on. At least now when if Croyle gets hurt the Chiefs can finally move on and try something different.

I don’t mean to hate on Croyle, in fact I like what he brings to the table, but you can’t help a team win from the sidelines and the thing that the Chiefs need more than anything else if they want to buid a team that can contend is solid, consistant play from the quarterback position. A good OL wouldn’t hurt either…

I am and have been a Chiefs fan my entire life. I went to my first game in 2004 and have been addicted ever since. At Arrowhead, "the home of the... CHIEFS", you quickly learn that game-day itself is the true experience, everything from the road trip, to the tailgating before the game, all the way until being one of the last to leave the parking lot is included. Go Chiefs!

  1. Wouldn’t even take a free ticket. It would be embarrassing to be seen there (paying the parking fee).

  2. @KartaPurkh: I definitely understand your point of view and don’t blame you at all for feeling that way.

    All my stuff is prepaid, and I plan on being there through the highs and the lows… I just hope it doesn’t get much lower than this. It can’t get too much worse, right?
