I could be wrong and I hope I am but I wouldn't pass on Ryan because Croyle is here that's for sure.

Personally, I didn't think it was a great idea to start Croyle this last year at all. I think he needed another full year of sideline development. I think you're going to see a better quarterback this year in the guy -- unless his confidence is shot from being put out there too early.
One thing I'd note: it wouldn't hurt you guys to put another young buck on the team. I sure wouldn't want to ride all my hopes on Croyle. And look at the San Diego situation. They went from having nothing to having two capable guys to choose from. That would be a good situation for KC to put themselves in. Competition did nothing but make Drew Brees a better quarterback. I very much favor a competitive situation over just "knighting" a guy and hoping it all works out. But the modern NFL makes that hard to do at the QB position.
