Chiefs announce Bray as the backup QB
http://arrowheadaddict.com/2016/05/2...p-quarterback/
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made a surprising declaration on Tuesday afternoon. The Chiefs are still a little more than two months away from the start of training camp in St. Joe’s, but we already have some very interesting news on the depth chart front. Reid has proclaimed that Tyler Bray, not Aaron Murray or Kevin Hogan, is entering training camp as the primary backup quarterback to Alex Smith. Murray was a fifth-round pick back in 2014 while Hogan was a fifth-round selection in April. Despite being an undrafted free agent in 2013, Bray has stuck on the roster but never appeared or been active for a game in the regular season. He was placed on injured reserve last year after sustaining a torn ACL in a pickup basketball game. Bray has all the physical tools you could want. He’s 6-foot-6 and 215 pounds and at 24 years old, might finally be seizing the moment after sitting behind Chase Daniel and Murray. It will be fascinating to see if Bray can hold off Murray and Hogan in camp, not having thrown a competitive pass in two years. |

This, well put. I don't mind Dane at times but he just wants to shit on every thread and is always right in his own mind. Getting old and is starting to become very Clay like.

It's a 3 dog fight for 2 positions and Bray is getting the 1st crack at it. Maybe he gets cut, maybe he doesn't, but at the very least it means the Chiefs believe he has a legit shot at it.

It's been awhile since we've last seen him. He's had a lot of time to develop since his rookie year.

So we're basically like 99% of the league? A bunch of teams don't even have capable starters on their roster much less backups.

I think they're still working on transplanting Smith's brain into Bray's body. That kind of science takes time.

I don't think he's getting the first crack at it. It just that he needs all the reps he can get so that it's a more close positional battle in training camp. They're likely very comfortable with Murray and know he's capable. He doesn't need as many minicamp reps as Bray especially since Bray is coming off two straight years on IR.

In two years it will be Hogan as the #2. No one behind Smith will ever be full time starter quality.

Yes the only game he didn't play in was the 2cd preseason game. He got injured in the last preseason game against the Packers on 8/28/2014

I don't necessarily think he is our starting QBOTF like is thrown around here so easily, but you never know he might be the next Romo.
