Croyle to Start This Week

[CornBiscuit]

Croyle replaced Damon Huard at quarterback in the fourth quarter. Huard left the game because of what the Chiefs described as a right shoulder injury. They weren’t more specific with details but have ruled Huard out of next week’s game against Cincinnati at Arrowhead.

That means Croyle will start against the Bengals

Best of luck to BC..

Who and when was the last time an Alabama QB started in an NFL game?

 

[lynyrd skynyrd]

I wish him the best, I hope they get a decent line in front of him...

Stabler? Possibly Barker.

 

[PaulD]

Barker never started in the NFL; I remember he did play in the CFL in the mid-90's. My guess would be Richard Todd, unless Stabler outlasted him in Houston and New Orleans.

Good Luck Brodie, and ROLL TIDE....Go CHIEFS DT_ura1:

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Barker was a back-up at least, so it's theoretically possible. But I'm not saying I know.

 

[TIDEFAN17]

BC startin' for KC. Word.

 

[BAMAHD]

Good luck Brodie, Herman Edwards and the Chiefs remind me of another team Brodie played for.

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Lol. Yeah, that's not good.

 

[BAMA1979]

This is the perfect opponent for Croyle's first start. The Bengals don't cover, tackle, sack, pressure the quarterback, play defense, etc.

 

[Crimson Speed]

Barker never started in the NFL; I remember he did play in the CFL in the mid-90's. My guess would be Richard Todd, unless Stabler outlasted him in Houston and New Orleans.

I think it was Richard Todd. That goes back a few years.

The last to start was probably Jeff Rutledge. Rutledge started some games for the Washington Redskins in the 90s.

 

[alabamajoe1984]

Watched him on HBO's Hard Knocks, I hope he can do well.

 

[Bama1970]

I hope he does well.. it'd be nice to see a former Bama QB starting in the NFL.

 

[Spittin Nickles]

On a separate but related note, Ken Darby should see some playing time this weekend with Cadillac and Pitman both out.
As for the last QB....My guess would be Jeff Rutledge also.

 

[CrimsonChuck]

Congrats to Brodie for starting this week (and getting his first NFL TD pass last week).

 

[Hoot30]

The last to start was probably Jeff Rutledge. Rutledge started some games for the Washington Redskins in the 90s.

I seem to recall that he started for them on a Monday night game. Is that right?

 

[bamamanatpurdue]

The last to start was probably Jeff Rutledge. Rutledge started some games for the Washington Redskins in the 90s.

Rutledge had an amazing game coming off the bench in 1990. He threw for nearly 400 yards in the second half of a game. He got the start the next week but did not nearly approach the numbers in his previous game. That was his last start.

 

[alabamajoe1984]

This is Brodie's chance to get back in the starting seat after he lost it during pre-season when Huard had his calf hurt and Brodie played mose of the pre-season game.
