Toliver Still Premier QB

A Perfect Season
By "Lake Dawson"

Playoffs 2110 (Kansas City, MO) - Chiefs' GM Harrison was ready to hand the starting QB job to Ricky Brown in 2110. It was perfectly clear when he made an official announcement that Toliver was 'on the block'. Amazingly, not one offer came the Chiefs' way. Maybe it was the franchise tag that Toliver carries, hard to say. Still, how does nobody make an offer on one of the best QBs the USAFL has seen?

Toliver has the best QB rating this season, and was #1 in passing yards, TD's and yards per attempt. Maybe, just maybe, the trading block was just a ploy. Maybe Harrison was trying to inspire Toliver to greatness in yet another season? Backup Ricky Brown has a strong arm and looks like he's ready to start somewhere. It would have been no surprise to see him start.

The Chiefs crossed two big hurdles the last 4 games of the season. They beat Buffalo, in Buffalo, and Chicago. Both teams have been the point of frustration for Kansas City recently - although the Bills have been a playoff wall for the Chiefs for many seasons. Maybe there is something special going on this season at Arrowhead Stadium, even greater than the individual performances on the team.
