Croyle collapse helps LJ, Gonzo
My first reaction upon hearing that Damon Huard will start for the Chiefs in Week 1: Good for Herm Edwards.
My second reaction: Good for the rest of the Kansas City offensive players.
I understand Herm's desire to get ready for "the future," but you can't sell your other players out when Brodie Croyle hasn't shown he's ready.
Croyle is going to get his chance to start, probably halfway through this year, but his 5-for-17 effort the other night did him in. Including 2006's preseason, Croyle is now 25-for-59 as a pro, with 258 yards, one touchdown and six interceptions. His confidence can't be too high, and his teammates must have doubts.
Damon Huard probably isn't going to play as well as his 10:1 TD:INT ratio last year would indicate. But he'll be competent. He will put up lower-tier QB2 numbers while he starts, but Herm Edwards will keep this a ball control offense.
Naming Huard the starter gives the Kansas City offense a chance to approach average. That can only mean more scoring opportunities early in the year for Larry Johnson, Tony Gonzalez, and Eddie Kennison.
