Not where it concerns performance.
There's another reason why he isn't comparable...
HE WAS TAKEN IN THE THIRD ROUND OF THE NFL DRAFT.
The other QB's were #1 overall picks. You can't be this numb.
First 6 starts for each QB...
Tom Brady
10 TD's
5 INT's
1,273 Passing Yards
Game 4, 148.3 QB Rating
Game 6, 124.4 QB Rating
Tony Romo
10 TD's
4 INT's
1,651 Passing Yards
Game 2, 109 QB Rating
Game 3, 126.8 QB Rating
Game 5, 148.9 QB Rating
Marc Bulger
14 TD's
6 INT's
1,815 Passing Yards
Game 4, 131.7 QB Rating
Game 5, 100.5 QB Rating
David Garrard
5 TD's
2 INT's
1,044 Passing Yards
Game 5, 103.3 QB Rating
To summarize...
Each QB had better numbers. Each QB improved over time.
Each QB earned more time to develop.
Can we please stop using these QB's as examples for how we should handle Brodie Croyle?

Hold on.
You're missing his point.
Based on your way of thinking, these guys would have NEVER seen the field to PROVE that they are the talented guys they are.
The Saints, who needed a QB like I need oxygen, RELEASED Marc Bulger.
David Garrard SAT behind a below average Byron Leftwich for years, as did Romo in Dallas.
And we've discussed ad nauseum around here that the Patriots have Mo Lewis to thank for their recent run of Lombardi Trophies. Had he not re-arranged Drew Bledsoe's internal organs, there's no telling when Brady sees the field.
3 of the 4 guys listed had the benefit of spending years as a back up.
Croyle got 1, and was thrown into the fire behind one of the worst lines in NFL history.
