jetlord 10,209 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Maybe. Hard to imagine McGloin as that much of a coach in the QB room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I thought they may go with two QBs and Litton on the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be shocked if Litton isn't put on the PS. Obviously McGloin can't be put there and I think KC didn't want to dump any of them but couldn't keep 4 on the active roster so this is their solution.

jetlord 10,209 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 So why keep McGloin? Both Mahomes and Henne would have to go down before McGloin plays and if that happens, the Chiefs are done anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,781 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 When you have an experienced vet at QB2 who hasn’t looked all that bad for the role, why keep an older guy at QB3? If we get to a point where we need QB3, the season is over anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,115 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Is there any interest in Chad Henne? I know that sounds crazy but it seems like the only logical reason you take experience and a low ceiling for qb #3 over less experience and much higher ceiling. Henne did look good this preseason. Otherwise I have no idea why we kept McGloin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 That’s not a crazy thought. MaGroin looked decent. Maybe they think they can flip him to a team with an injury and stash Litton on the PS. We like Litton but not sure he is a hot commodity. If someone wants Henne or him, we can pull Litton up.

I don't think there is any interest in Henne right now, but there certainly could be if teams have a run on injuries or may not like what they see from their #2 QB in practice. I wouldn't keep 3 QBs either because back up QBs are the last person you want in the game so why you would have 3 total is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet NE, Philly, TB and a few others would disagree. All of them won SBs with their #2 QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be that, with all the attention and coaching on Mahomes during the upcoming season, a young guy with a cannon arm like LItton simply needs more coaching attention and reps to develop. They did him a favor. I like having a third with more experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got to have a competent backup in this league. I’m just not quite getting what plan or hope for McGloin is as the third guy. I’m sure there is one though.

If Litton is kept on the practice squad, then he could be promoted to the active roster if both Mahomes and Henne went down. If Litton was grabbed by another team, then address that problem when it comes. I doubt that McGloin is going anywhere and could be available with a week's notice. Agree that Litton needs more time and coaching whether on the roster or practice squad, but that doesn't mean using a roster spot on McGloin.

JMHO That's true, IF you can sneak Litton onto the PS without him getting grabbed up. Risky. Sorry, Fanatic. I didn't see your post. That's good news.

DieHard 2,061 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 That worked out pretty well. Got our three QBs and an open spot on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they listen to me. 😊 Goes without saying that the Chiefs ALWAYS wanted to move Litton to PS. They had to hold onto McGloin to see if Litton would clear waivers. Once he did, they released McGloin. That was the plan all along. But now Chiefs go with two quarterbacks. That is really uncharacteristic of Andy Reid teams. Glad it happened. My guess is McGloin will not be picked up but will catch on with somebody after injuries strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
