It just seem he lacks the belief in himself to make plays.
Indecisiveness.
An inability to get past his own mistakes and move on to the next play.

Since I am avoiding a shopping trip and, instead, seeking out someone with intelligence with whom I might argue about entirely meaningless topics today, I shall respond to your crazy idea, Mr. milkman.
Croyle had a crap team around him in 2005. Total crap. As a result, a great deal of Alabama's success that year had Croyle's signature on it. We have to assume that he had the ability to move on (psychologically speaking) to the next play since he did have 4 INTs, a glom of incompletions, and took a brutal beating from his own o-line that ultimately led to a 10 and 2 record.
But, I know that "look" Croyle had during the games. Personally, I view his "pro career" as a kind of weird aberration. When you're drafted by Herm (who tries to convince everybody that a punt is better than a touchdown), Solari is your OC, and the RRP2 is the totality of your weekly gameplan, I think a mystified expression on your quarterback's face is probably reflective of good sense and sanity.
