People like me don't want Huard to play because playing to win 7 games accomplishes nothing for the future of this franchise.
Developing a 35 year old, brilliant...

That game was close well into the second half, even though we went something like 40 minutes without a first down. Our defense was kicking Manning's ass.
Nobody is suggesting developing Huard. He proved last year he doesn't need to "develop". All I'm suggesting is that maybe, just maybe, we might have a chance to be competitive. On paper, we are about the same on offense as last year, and we are much improved on defense. Considering we went 9-7 last year, maybe we should at least get into October before we bail on the whole season and throw Croyle to the wolves.
If we hit 1-5, I'll join the "Start Croyle Now" crowd. But maybe we should just see what Huard can do this year first. If you are correct, our draft position will still be just fine, and Croyle should get some quality experience down the stretch.
