How did Croyle look?

KC Jones · 11-11-2007, 07:11 PM

I didn't get to see the game, other than a few seconds in a hotel lobby. I saw that Croyle was in and I saw 2 plays. So how did the kid look?

he looked good he seemed 2 be very comfortable behind that bad ass oline we have. he threw the ball much better than damon he all around just did better than damon.

Like he hasn't been playing and didn't get any snaps in practice. He still wasn't any worse than Horrid.

He wasn't any better, either.

You're clueless and FOS.... also very unrealistic.

I thought he showed good poise and he got rid of the ball quickly. When the protection breaks down, he can backpedal and throw a strike. That avoided sacks and kept at least one drive alive more than once.

One of the biggest problems, it seemed, was he hasn't established rapport with the receivers yet. They need to get to know him better in game situations.

I'd maybe give him a C.

Sure, and I can understand that becuase of the lack of practice time with them, combined with gameday experience. I do expect that to be improved as the season goes on, provided if he gets to start here on out.

And the numbers could be misleading. The offense looked completely different, in a good way, when he came in. See Jacksonville game and the Chicago game for examples.

Coach, I agree, I do not care about numbers...show me some scoring. I guess I was so built up to see the kid I was hoping he was the second coming of Brett Favre like so many on this board have said. I hope if he does start next week they adjust the system to his strengths.

Well, in Favre first action he was 0 - 4 w/ 2 INTs and 0 TDs.

Seriously, if you want to develop a young QB you need to give him time and let him make some stupid mistakes.

You are absolutely correct. I was hoping he was going to step it up today. The problem is many fold...most of it lies at the system the Chef's are running. Solari has to go...and the Germ needs to grow a pair and learn clock management. We need to have a solid draft and hope Croyle does not go the way of Blackledge.

I was sure pulling for him. It was good to see him move the chains. Lenny said that a couple of the passes could have been caught ... I think he was referring to the pass to Bowe and maybe one to Webb.

One of the interesting aspects of all this is (assuming that Croyle actually does start) whether or not the playcalling will change a little. Theoretically, we could open up the offense a bit more with a stronger arm behind center. We could also, perhaps, call a roll-out or two to help the oline with protection.
