Chiefs Can Croyle be Gannon? - Page 3

**petegz28** · 06:52 PM

With our offense and his play style, does this kid have it to play like Gannon? He seems quick on his feet, can scramble and is comfy rolling out.

I think we are going to see some surprising plays from him this year with his feet. Games we might not of won with the likes of a Huard, Green or Grbac that we did win with Gannon.

Thoughts?

For the record, at the time i wanted Grbac over Gannon as well. I thought he had more upside.

But i dont agree about Croyle. I dont see much beyond a nice arm. But who knows???

He's got presence in the huddle, listen to the team these guys will love him. It's crazy that people overlook this characteristic, it's vital to a winner. he's not dumb by any means and with a basic offence and a running game who knows. He can obviously move a little and as you say he has a good arm. those are skills aren't they? give him time you'll see

What about his injury problem?

You can't build your team around a QB that can't stay on the field.

I never have told anyone that before, my wife knows and I have 0 cred with her when it comes to picking qb's.

that's the deal. no way around that. separated shoulder and an ACL.. Maybe Chan can help keepm him out of harms way. But your right that's the most legit knock against him

Hes a placeholder until a real QB comes along.

Speaking of Browns, I wonder who will win the Brady Quinn sweepstakes?
