Damn, I hope not. I consider Henne the second coming of Drew Henson.

Ehhh, Henson would have probably been pretty good had he not gone to play baseball for a few years. You can't really compare anyone to that situation.

I'll take our chances with Croyle....worse case, we grab a QB next year. It suppose to be a better class, IIRC.

I think for the most part this will go out the window as more college teams switch to spread offenses.

Who told you that?

Whoever it was, was lying, next year in my view is a horrible QB year.

I don't think it matters if they pick a QB or not with regard to playing Croyle this year. He is going to start and they are going to find out if he has what it takes to be an NFL QB. If they draft QB that guy is going to sit the bench at least this year.

interesting read....certainly makes a case for Brohm...

Mecca 04-24-2008 08:54 PM

I honestly always thought NFL teams were smart enough not to judge players by their teams but in a way it does appear that Brohm and Henne, Brohm especially were downgraded for no other reason than their teams had disappointing years.

Could be very true. Nothing wrong with that. If you have the oppurtunity to nab a guy u love, you dont sit around and wait until next year. You take the guy u want.

Anyhow, Id bet that Ryan, Brohm, or Henne would give Brody a nice run for his money in training camp and pre-season.

Great read. I know I'm not allowed to make decisions on players without watching their tape and only reading about them, but this speaks well to Brohm and Henne.

What injuries has Brohm had?

That is sort of why Marino fell in 1983. Pitt's record wasn't as bad as Louisvilles this season. In fact, I think they went to the Sugar Bowl. But they still lost 2 or 3 games and his stock fell.

I totally agree and if they love Ryan then they need to pick him because the QB is the most important position on the football field.

As far as giving Brody good competition he needs it but that is not saying much since Huard out played him last year.

Thankfully teams dont listen to fans much. I remember when a good majority of the Cowboys fanbase wanted Steve Walsh over Troy Aikman in the early 90's.....ROFL

The ones he missed games with were an ACL in 05 and he tore some ligaments in his thumb in 06, he had surgery on his non throwing shoulder after this past season.

Definitely reaffirms my faith in Brohm. If we picked him at #17 I'd be okay with it, and if he fell to us at #35 I'd be ecstatic.

I thought Marino had knee problems that scared some teams away. Including us.
