zow2 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 You can't go into this big "whiteout" game with Jeff Tuel as the starting QB. The KC D will eat him up alive. What a run of luck KC has had facing backup QB's huh?!? If Tuel does start, that is our coaching staff throwing "spaghetti at the wall" and hope it sticks. They have no idea if this kid can play in a big game.
JoeF Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Wonder if Mike Lyons has calculated the probability of the Bills beating the Chiefs without Thad and with Thad and that this is the result.....

Bufcomments Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Thad put the ball on turf to much. The Bills had a chance vs the Saints if he doesn't fumble, but he did take some massive hits, the O-line had a bad game. I bet Marrone had some words for the O-line this week.

KikO M G Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 If Thad can't go, it's got to be Flynn. He is a seasoned veteran compared to Tuel.

Big Cat, my good friend... YE OLE would have to say yes. It's not that Thad is a terrific option under center, but when Tuel couldn't come in the Browns game and muster a first down most lost all confidence in him. The way Tuel started hopping balls off the turf, it became apparent that he wasn't a threat to complete a pass. Thad on the other hand, while he has made mistakes, he's also led the offense on scoring drives and has proven a threat to connect on deep balls. Now it's possible, Tuel just wasn't ready for the spotlight and maybe given another chance to prepare will be better. But, as bad as he was in the Browns game, nobody wants to take that chance.

I hear ya. He looked utterly lost in Cleveland. But it's not the only body of work we have on the guy. And for all the factors you mentioned, I'm reserving full and total judgement.

Thad Lewis has threw for 200 every game against a very good Bengals team and 2 tough road games. At the very least, Lewis has proved he can play in this league a bit. At this point, all Tuel has proven is he can light up 3rd stringers and guys who can't make a NFL roster. Tuel wasn't even good in college. On 10/30/2013 at 4:58 PM, The Big Cat said: I hear ya.

His college career is very underwhelming as well. But hey anytime you can start a guy who lost their job at Washington State, you have to do it. But IMO, Lewis is a much better option than Tuel.

He sucks and if he plays, it will be a schit show. From what tuell showed in the browns game I would literally rather see Fred Jackson at QB running 100% wildcat. Could not do worse than the about 13 straight 3 and outs tuell has put up between the skins dress rehearsal game and the browns. Hard to figure out why he is on the roster still.
KikO M G Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Jackson didn't practice today either though.
Buftex Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 It is amazing that Thad Lewis struggled last week!

Silver lining is Manuel took 2nd team reps along with Dixon. Freddie and Stevie also not practicing... EJ was practicing? That's more than a silver lining; that's fantastic. Perhaps back in the lineup at Pittsburgh?

BringBackFergy Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 We got em right where we want them...Chiefs don't know who to game plan for. Kudos Marrone. Well played. (Grin)
