OK Mr. Croyle, I've defended loyally on this forum.

It's beyond me why he ever was. You can't expect to forecast his future by pitting him against players who are some of the very best to EVER play the game.

That's the way of the NFL. Players drafted in higher rounds get more time to prove themselves than middle and late round picks. That can't even be argued. Why you've made this into my own personal philosophy speaks volumes.

Thanks Captain Obvious.
But isn't that what the entire thread is composed of? Opinion?

I can say that he hasn't proven he has the requisite skills.
You wanna argue that?

And those three people are...
*A man who wanted Damon Huard to run the offense just one year ago
*A defensive-oriented coach
*A coach who has only had a modicum of success in the now defunct NFLEL

You got me there Chief.

It's humorous that you think so little of him that you feel he shouldn't even be compared to other QBs. The fact that you won't even acknowledge the similarity in first game starts shows your bias. Would it have been wrong to compare Aikman or Elway in their first 6 starts to HOF QBs at that time? What's the requirements for this comparison rule you think exists?

And I don't know how you can say that's the way of the NFL. Simply looking at the current list of starting QBs proves that to be wrong. By your standards, players like Tom Brady, Tony Romo, Marc Bulger, and David Gerrard should have never seen the field. I'm glad head coaches don't share your opinion. You're right about the "personal philosophy" part being your own though.
