You don't have to prove he's injury prone, HE IS INJURY PRONE. There is no proving to it.

You know what you should do...
You should pull up the list of the QB's that have won or even made the Superbowl and look at how many of them were 1st round picks.... For a position that "historically busts" there's a reason when teams repeatedly draft them high...just go look at those numbers the percentage of QB's that make the bowl being first rounders is staggering. |

McNair is and McNabb has become injury prone...Garcia is too...
A guy like Leinart going back to college has been injured 1 time in 6 years. Campbell has had 1 injury, these guys don't remotely compare to Croyle. Croyle has been injured what 5 or 6 times in 6 years? You can't rule out college that goes into what makes someone injury prone. If a guy gets hurt once no, or has one injury plagued season, no. If you continually get hurt season in and season out, you are injury prone. |

If he were to miss significant time in the next 2-3 seasons, he'd be labeled as injury prone. College would have had nothing to do with it. Brett Favre had an injury history in college and had 30 inches of his intestines removed. We all know where the story goes from there..... Bottom line is, it doesn't matter if they were injured in college or not. Missing time in the NFL is missing time. Period. |

Ryan is definately a 1st round QB in any draft. Had he been drafted out of the 2005 or 2006 class, I truly believe he'd be taken behind Russell, Quinn, Young, Leinart, and Cutler.
Is he the best QB prospect to come out of the last 5 years, or even the last 2 or 3, no. But he's going to be the best QB to come out of the draft for the next couple of seasons. He's really a solid pro-prospect, and if the Chiefs were so inclined to take a QB high in the draft, this would be the year to do it. Todd Boeckman looks to be the best pro-prospect going into next season if that tells you anything. Now I'm not knocking Boeckman, he's been a very solid QB for OSU this season, but he's far less talented or polished than Ryan is. |

It's nice to wanna believe in Brodie Croyle but to say "oh college doesn't count!" when the college game isn't as fast or as brutal as the NFL game and he couldn't even last there is pretty funny.

I'm truly not a proponent of taking a QB in the first round, but if the organization feels so inclined, then Ryan is the guy to take.
I'd be much happier drafting an OT or DT. I'd take Sedrick Ellis, Dorsey, or Long(pending bowl performace and combine) over Ryan. That being said, if he ignites some sort of spark under the Chiefs' collective asses, and we take him, I suppose I won't be too upset. Cherilius and Baker may still be around in the early 2nd, I doubt Baker will, but it's a possibility. |

Brett Favre has never once missed an NFL start however....Croyle already has...
When you say benefit of the doubt, to me guys like Leinart get it because this is the first time he's ever gotten injured. When Croyle gets hurt you just expect it because he always does. Every single Brodie Croyle scouting report said he needed to gain weight and show he was durable because at this point his injury history is a major concern. That he'd most likely be a backup if he couldn't fix those things... So far he is the same size and is showing he isn't durable. You give the benefit of the doubt to guys who generally don't get injured, not the guys who get hurt all the time. |

If you do it for the losing teams, the number gets even more staggering.

The Packers in theory used a 1st rounder on Favre because that was what they traded for him which at the time was the same as using one on a QB.
