Huard: I earned it

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/story/249943.html</p>

<font color="#0000ff"> Damon Huard says he earned it.</font></p>

<font color="#0000ff">Even after a nondescript preseason and a poor performance by his competitor, Huard feels he won the Chiefs&rsquo; starting quarterback job over Brodie Croyle fair and square.</font></p>

<font color="#0000ff">And not by default.</font></p>

<font color="#0000ff">&ldquo;No,&rdquo; Huard said. &ldquo;Not by any means. You might think so because of a couple of (mistakes by Croyle) in preseason games. But we&rsquo;ve been battling since last season ended. The competition has been fair.</font>&rdquo;</p>

The two most glorious words in the english language DE FAULT!</p>

(This is Brodie Croyle's quarterbacking skills in animated car form)</p>

ehh well sure he hasnt been playing great in the preseason but he played great last year for the Chiefs when Green was out. And hes had a decent backup career since hes been in the NFL. Maybe he hasnt earned it this preseason but hes earned it as a vet

 

Huard is smart enough to know if Croyle was ready or not....perhaps he held back and played it conservatively because he was anticipating that the youngling would have some struggles....

 

Here's to hoping you're right Beef.

 

I gotta go w/ the wiley veteran angle as Beef suggested. Hell! How hard can it be to hand off to Larry J 40 times a game? lol?

 

Its like playing chess....I occasionally play with the teenagers in my office....when I do, I sit back and let them come to me....they are wild and impulsive, they think about this move and not the game itself....so you build a restrictive defense, a pawn structure in chess, a conservative attitude when playing QB....make no mistakes, take what the defense offers, and let the youngin' blow his own foot off....over the course of history, a ton of vets have won jobs doing that

Isn't that just what you suggested the Bears not do with Rex Grossman? </p>
