It was your stupid camp reports from last year that said he was looking great and was CLEARLY the better QB of all on the roster. That just proved you have no idea what your looking at when watching football.

It doesn't matter WHO would have been our QB - Elway, Aikman, Favre, etc. - this fanbase would have run them out of town before they had a chance to grow into the position. Christ, people here STILL bitch about Favre throwing INT's, and he's a first ballot lock HOFer who didn't even ****ing play here. People would rather look for the negative instead of the positive. Speaking of positive: Not a single turnover from Croyle this preseason. But hey, he overthrew a couple of receivers. Burn him at the stake... |

Honestly, I'm thrilled to watch a QB that's capable of overthrowing a receiver.

Sure as hell looks better than Fetal Position underthrowing.

And Manning lead an 11-5 team to a wild card loss, 23-0, with 113 yards passing and 3 INTs. I wonder how that would go over here... Tiki Barber ran for 1800 yards that year, too, and Eli was throwing to Plaxico Burress, Jeremy Shockey, and Amani Toomer. The year before, Eli had the same weapons, Barber ran for 1500 yards, yet his stats are comparable to Croyle, who had fewer weapons and whose leading rusher during his starts had 407 yards. Eli had a better team around him, yet didn't produce any more than Croyle... maybe that's the benefit of holding a clipboard for a year, eh? |

Croyle lost all six games as a starter. He's terrible.
Barry Sanders went through many, many shitty years in Detroit as the starting RB. He must be terrible. Jesus, people. Football is a TEAM sport, assholes. Having great players is nice, but for every Peyton Manning and Tom Brady that wins the Super Bowl, you get a Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, or an Eli Manning. And I refuse to buy the bullshit that just because the QB is the most important position on the offense, a QB that loses games is a terrible QB. How about we just WAIT and see what happens. |

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.

Well, that's not saying much. He was better, despite his flaws, than Huard.

Well that was accurate at the time. Croyle had a solid camp. He looked like a completely different player in the preseason.
