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.

I agree with you. if we go 1-5 I say start Croyle too. He obvously didn't beat Huard in the quarterback showdown in pre-season. Huard is a good QB. Has the QB rating to prove it. There's no need to ddevelop him any further.
If we do go 1-5 or so, I would then say start Croyle to get him more experience cause our season is probably shot at that point anyway. Might as well get the young guys some playing time.
But until that time I like Huard as QB. So he throws some pics? All QB's do.
Personally I think the main issue is with Solari and his play calling. I really think it's holind the offense back. It's been evident, but more so as the players (Huard and johnson) are starting to show their dislike of the play calling.
I say keep Huard...a proven QB.
