Huard named Chiefs' starting QB
Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Damon Huard, who has spent his career backing up some of the NFL's top quarterbacks, is finally No. 1. Coach Herm Edwards said Saturday the 11-year veteran will start for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Huard hadn't started a game since 2000 but went 5-3 last season after Trent Green was injured in the season opener. After Green demanded a trade to Miami this spring because he thought coaches planned to hand the job to Brodie Croyle, Huard spent the summer battling the second-year player from Alabama for the job.

Croyle apparently played himself out of contention by throwing an interception in each of three preseason games. Given a big opportunity Thursday night against New Orleans while Huard sat out with a calf injury, he hit only five of 17 passes for 45 yards as the Chiefs lost 30-7 and dropped to 0-3.

In making the announcement, Edwards was careful to say that he was confident the 24-year-old Croyle would one day be the Chiefs' starting quarterback.

"Brodie Croyle in my mind is going to be a good quarterback in this organization -- no doubt about it," Edwards said.

Opening with their first two games on the road, at Houston and Chicago, apparently weighed in favor of the more experienced Huard, who gained the respect of teammates in his eight starts a year ago.

"I just think we've exposed Brodie where we know what he is a lot more than we did last year. We know what Damon is because he has a history," Edwards said. "When you weigh those things, you go into the opener and say, `Hey, we've got to try to win the game.' In my opinion, this gives us the best chance."

Huard backed up Dan Marino in Miami and Tom Brady in New England before coming to Kansas City in 2004. He was one of the league's biggest surprises last year when Green sustained a severe concussion in the season opener, winning five of his eight starts while throwing for 1,684 yards. Most impressively, he threw only one interception while hitting 11 touchdown passes for a 98.0 quarterback rating, second in the league only to Peyton Manning's 101.0.

"He's a guy who's weathered a lot of storms," Edwards said. "And I go back to what he did last year for us. He came off the bench and performed very, very well. He managed the game. Didn't turn the ball over a lot. That is very important, especially on the road."

Huard was getting treatment on his calf injury Saturday and was not available for comment.

Croyle, a third-round pick in 2005, said he had his chance to seize the job against the Saints.

"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."

Croyle said he and Huard were both told about the decision Saturday morning before practice. Huard practiced very little and may not play on Thursday night when the Chiefs wrap up their preseason at St. Louis.

"Obviously, I wanted to be the starter," Croyle said. "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."

Edwards also said running back Larry Johnson, who ended a 25-day holdout this week, may not play against the Rams on Thursday night.

Quoted from eoeleven

"Take what you can get.

The fact that KC is getting away playing basically two undersized LBs at saftey is credit to those players and Gunther Cunnignham. I do not think I have ever seen a team start 450 pounds of saftey before.

Law and Surtain are aging but have held it moderatley together.

If the Chiefs could find a constant pass rush their defense could make some waves.

Their offense has really been helped by the resurgence of Tony Gonzales.

KC is a QB, 3 and 1/2 Olinemen, and a strong DT away from being a formidable team. Even at this point they are a team that you have to take seriously."

All im gonna say is that the cheifs got lucky against the chatgers and it wont happen again, Who the hell is Huard, he sucks and within a few years your tide ends record will be broken by gates. And San Diego will win next time they meet this season.

they did NOT "get lucky"

It was a game that NEITHER team played well....but the Chiefs played better.

The Chiefs Defense right now is more of a force than you realize....coupled w/ the fact that the next time we meet will be IN December....IN Arrowhead. your chances of winning....ANY Division Rivals Chances of winning against the Chiefs at Arrowhead in December are NOT good....

this was written in 2005....

"To be sure, the Chiefs enjoy an advantage in noisy and perpetually sold-out Arrowhead Stadium at any time of year, come rain or come shine, in stifling heat or benumbing cold.

But they’re almost unbeatable in December.

Since 1995, the Chiefs are 18-1 at home in the year’s final month. They’re currently on a 16-0 December home streak, an especially comforting stat with Denver coming to town for a key showdown in the AFC playoff picture.

A 4:15 p.m. EST kickoff against the Broncos on Sunday will mark the beginning of a make-or-break five-game stretch for Kansas City against five winning teams. Three are at home against AFC opponents they’re fighting for a postseason berth.

But why the Chiefs become so all-powerful at home when Santa Claus starts showing up in the malls is a mystery even to them.

“The fans still come out in droves here, whereas they might not in other stadiums,” said defensive end Eric Hicks. “It’s still just as loud as it was in September. It gets cold here. We usually are able to run the ball and play some pretty good defense in the month of December.”

I believe after a loss to the Baltimore Ravens last year, that the record is now 19-2, but it is impressive, nonetheless....
and I quite frankly believe that the Chargers lost their chance to go 50/50 w/ the Chiefs this year.
