King on the Kansas City Cheifs

Postcard

I don't get why Brodie Quolye has been anointed as the favorite for the starting QB job in Kansas City.  Is it because the Chiefs assume he will be the starter next year, so why not get him started this year?  What pedigree does he have to be an NFL quarterback?  He went to Alabama.

I should disclose that I'm from Seattle, and thus partial to QB Damon Huard, but didn't Huard prove enough in the games he played last year?  He probably should have started over Trent Green in their playoff loss to Indy.

Chatter is the KC is going to experience a massive drop-off this year.  Here's the general idea:
  • Larry Johnson was overused last year and will come back to earth this year.  If Larry Johnson doesn't have a massive year, how could can the Chiefs be?
  • The Quarterback position is in flux.
  • I'm not sure of this one, but I think the Chiefs had at least one o-lineman retire, possibly two.
There isn't much in this article about KC's strengths, but maybe there's a reason why for that.  The sooner they get back LJ, the better, because they're going to need him.
