Croyle was a second year, third round draft choice with a history of injury. He had Dick Curl and Mike Solari as his offensive mentors. That alone would be difficult for a QB of ANY talent level.
Croyle most certainly performed in Baltimore last year. This offense is perfect for his skills. His inability to stay healthy has always been his issue, not talent or skill level.

Would I build a franchise around Croyle, with his inability to remain healthy week in and week out? Hell no. But he's got far more talent and upside than Matt Cassel.
The Chiefs
should draft Clausen, hands down, no question asked. I just doubt they do it.
