With Priest back and LJ does it matter who hands them the ball?

Question

I predict another playoff sason, I think San Diego will probably win the division. San Diego may come back to the pack though because they lost Marty. Denver nor the the Raiders scare me, so I predict wild card no matter who we play a quarterback.

Answer 1

i am a big chiefs fan and i am really confident about brodie croyle, if we can get LJ his contract we will have a great rushing attack, we have an average group of receivers in samie parker, eddie kennison and dwayne bowe, and one of the best tight ends ever, we should go 10-6 again this year and make a wild card spot

GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I dont think a running back determines who should be at QB no matter how good they are, I think we should start the season with Huard at QB and see what we do, if huard goes 6-0, 5-1, 4-2 or possibly 3-3 his first six games keep him in if he goes 2-4, 1-5, 0-6 let Croyle have the ball and see what he can do with it, Really what we need is a guy who can get it down field to Gonzalez, Bowe, Kennison and etc. Without that be are a one dimensional team like we were last season, and we were predictable, look what happened in the playoffs, ON the other hand IF and ONLY IF Priest is back to his old self I dont think it matters who we have in the back field LJ or PH, but if he isnt like he was a year and a half ago but still healthy and can run then we will have one of the best one two combination back fields in the league, keeping LJ as the main back and have priest come in as the breather back.

Answer 3

Let me start by saying GO CHIEFS. No, it won't matter who is taking the snaps. People seem to have forgotten already how well Huard played last year, he got KC into the playoffs. Croyle got a season (well half of a season) learning under the most underrated QB in the NFL (Trent Green - God Bless and good luck) and I saw him at the mini camps earlier this year. He looked pretty good to me. I figure we'll finish second in the West behind SD, we'll trounce those damn donkeys in Arrowhead, and a wildcard isn't out of the question. I think if we get the wild card, we'll be the #6 seed again - but I think we'll need a 10-6 record to do it this year. The Chiefs D will be better than expected - Herm will see to that - and Edwards coming back is going to help a lot.

The guy above posted that Denvers recievers are better - I'll give them that - but Gonzalez is better than all of them except Javon Walker. As far as Denvers running game, they won't be using that chop blocking scheme that allowed the running game to dominate the way it did. Croyle is too immobile in the pocket for that blocking to work, so they're going to a zone blocking that requires more cuts and side to side running - not the strong point of any RB on their team. Without the running game, the passing game falters. Know thine enemy.

Answer 4

Wow, you must really have something against Denver. Their defense is better. Their QB is better. Their receivers are better. Their system lets anyone rush for huge numbers (not LJ good, but still...). So yeah, you're going to need to work to beat Denver. That's not to say it can't be done.

However, it's impossible to run the ball effectively without some kind of passing game. Just look at what happened to Chester Taylor, who went from being a relatively ineffective backup rusher with the then-struggling and passing-deprived Ravens to being a yardage monster last year for the Vikings. The Vikings, though, are a slightly below-average passing team at best, but better than the Ravens had been early in the decade. This means you have hope. If one of your QBs steps up and proves himself to be only moderately below average, your backs should be able to carry a lot of the offensive load.

Answer 5

Well first off.... neither LJ OR Priest were at the opening of training camp. So that should concern you some. If the cheifs had a better defense, your argument would hold some merit; however, they don't. If you don't think that the person handing the ball matters if you have a strong running game, talk to Kyle Boller and/or any Ravens fan. And they even had one of the top defenses in the league to help out. We all know how that worked out...

Answer 6

As of right now, neither Preist nor LJ is in camp running a ball, so that might matter a little. As far as who hands them the ball, it does matter. If your passing game doesn't worry the defense and you're running against 8 or even 9 man fronts, it matters a lot.

Answer 7

Yes, unless you plan on running all the time you need a good QB. Give Brodie a chance. He may surprise you. Hey packman vick do you even see any color other than black. You are like the KKK in reverse.

Answer 8

Your damn right Pacman Vick, the only exceptions to Black QBs are McNabb and Doug Williams. All the other we have to deal with them being to stupid to run an offense the RIGHT way, and dealing with all their off the field issues. If only us white folk had slave feet like you guys we wouldn't need yall anymore. I guess you guys run from the law so much you havd to have quick feet, no wonder Vick and Pacman were so damn fast! Oh well, i'd rather be slow and smart than a fast retard, cause no matter how fast and far you get, your still stupid LOL.

(For all you people who have nothing better to do than slander me for being so racist, if your too slow to figure out its a joke already and clearly sarcasm, so don't even waste your valuable energy typing messages about how racist I am).

Answer 9

first poster are u trying to spread racsim?
who would u rather have throwing the ball Mike Vick or Tom Brady?
huh u racist fag

KC is in a rebuilding proccess i dont see a playoff berth for a couple or years unless priest runs for 1kyards and lj runs for 2k

Answer 10

It will not metter who takes the snaps as long as Edwards is the coach. 5-11 sounds about right.
