I'm happy we are getting younger, since the rest of the team is young, its a good time to rebuild the offense too IMO. However, I think that if Croyle starts it will be a while till he gets in the groove. Anyone seen him practice...hows he look???!?!

Everybody 'round here with the exception of a couple guys thought that Croyle has displayed the best arm in practice.

I think I'd rather have a quarterback with less "arm" and more "head" as opposed to very little "head" and giant gobs of "arm". Less "head" probably equates to fewer first downs, TOP, and increased turnovers although I suppose one could make the argument that less "arm" might also lead to underthrows, soft balls, and easy picks. Very little "head" also causes problems in seeing the field since your eye sockets are almost even with the faceguard which restricts field vision. Then again, no "arm" makes it difficult to reach under center. Still, given the choice between "head" and "arm", I think I'd have to go with "head" even though "arm" is good and all. FAX |

IMO all the shifting that Vermeil's offense did was just a smoke screen to run a power up the middle. I dont know how many times they would shift and then run up the middle.

Good point, Mr. ChiefsCountry. Very good point. I think that would be "leg". Or, maybe "hip" allowing the player to spin and make the handoff which also requires "hand". Plenty of "hip" is also necessary for "arm" and "leg" to work. Plus, with no "hip" there's probably no upper "body" and, therefore, no place for "head". Without sufficient "hip", you probably can't get along with the young players either. This means that "hip" is vitally important.
Basically, I think the attributes in order of importance should be; "hip" "head" "hand" "arm" "leg" FAX |

I couldn't agree more, Mr. pikesome. Clearly, you've researched this matter in more detail than I and, therefore, it is a pleasure to discuss the issue with you. With that in mind, it does occur to me that what the quarterbacks you mention also have in common is "neck". Perhaps we've overlooked the importance of this feature. Without "neck", field vision is limited to one direction only. I think we can all agree that even the most skilled quarterback will have limited use of "head" without "neck". Therefore, I don't think we can completely eliminate "neck" as a critical attribute for success.

Which is why Bartee could never have made it as a quarterback. The inability to turn one's head, while a detriment as a CB, is definitely a drawback at the QB position. I'm glad you cleared that up for me, Mr. Fax.
