If everyone wants to hold Croyle to the Eli standard then fine, he should play in all 16 games this year and finish with 3,700+ yards, 24 TD's, 17 INTs and a 6.8 yard average.

I understand the learning curve bit, we can always point out differing variables - like Croyle didn't have a dad and brother who played in the NFL to get advice from.
I really don't have a problem expecting him to improve from last year, and I'd like to see him compare in completions, TD/INT ratios, as well as QB rating. I would hope that he does better this year than last - he did seem to get more comfortable as the year went on.
The point I was making with that post though had to do with Vanilla Thunder saying he wanted to dump Croyle but would take Eli. The point of the post was to show there really wasn't that much difference between the two QBs in their first starts.
