SEMO 6,811 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 This is the first preseason game that I have been able to watch. The Buechele kid has some talent. I know it is against backups, but he has game and they might want to find a roster spot for him. He could be the future #2 here. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnet 1,150 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Agree with Jet, he looked solid in the first half, and had some nice throws. He made some bad mistakes in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Im not trying to rip the kid. I just saw in the first half multiple times of checking down to the back WAAAAYYY too early in panic before there was pressure or the wrs could get downfield. Then he simply missed a toss to the rb from 2 feet away, and then the 2nd half was not good. i just think it’s important to not get overly hyped and waste a roster spot on this. I actually think there are much better practice squad candidates as well but thats whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him on the PC and let him learn. I thought he looked good and was confident in his throws. The int looked like a bad route. Also you have to consider there is no way for the guy to build rapport with 15 different wr's. Guy took us down mulitple times for TD drives and looked poised and relaxed doing it. I wouldn't cry if they kept him over Henne but I understand the importance of a veteran backup qb. Hope they can find an injury and shelf him this year to be our #2 next year.

AFCWEST 1,238 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Per AA: I agree That said, we should say a few things about Steve Buechele who has looked darn solid in relief of Henne in the preseason. He outlasted Anthony Gordon, the team’s QB4 who was cut earlier this preseason when initial roster cuts were due in previous weeks. He also looked like he was more pro-ready than other drafted quarterbacks this preseason with the way he handled himself in the pocket and progressed through his reads. The Chiefs often don’t keep a QB3 around on the active roster, but Buechele should be an easy call on the practice squad and for more reason than just having an extra signal caller around. There’s some solid pro potential here, and it will be interesting to watch him develop over time if he sticks in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 So is it worth a roster spot to lock him (#2 next year?) or can the Chiefs risk moving him to the PS this year? Not sure how much longer Henne will be around and it would be a significant cap saving to replace Henne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moons314 2,463 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 He looks like he has some potential. It would be nice to develop a backup QB that we could flip for a nice pick in a couple years, like has happened with guys like Schaub and Cassel.

I’m thankful we had him last year but the truth is his Henne is most valuable as a veteran presence and another experienced voice in the film room. I feel like the need for that is less and less important the more Mahomes develops. I’m happy with Henne but I wouldn’t be upset to take a chance on Buechele.

sith13 1,746 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I think Buechele sticks around at the PS but I don't really expect the Chiefs spending a roster spot to keep him around. Definitely had some nice throws but too raw to actually be a backup and as pointed out Henne's veteran presence is valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCK Chiefs Fan 425 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 hope he stays unclaimed so the Chiefs can put him on the practice squad. It looks to me that he would be a good backup after Hennie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is Henne could be on the street and come in for a few games if Mahomes is hurt. His value as a veteran voice is ZERO. Why would a guy that is 38-9 listen to a career back up? Im hoping Beuchelle goes to the PS. Could have saved , I think, 4 million cutting Henne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Little surprised about Kemp. I thought the Chiefs would move Powell to the PS and keep Kemp. So much for the "Toube decides the last few positions" theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
