He showed nothing in his abilities and as you say, he can't stay healthy. You have to figure the can't stay healthy as part of the equation.

You are absolutely correct about drafting or finding a new QB.

Factoring in the staying healthy, he would lose, but if you are just going on QB performance during TC between the two, it isn't close. I have watched them both in TC.......but Brodie ended up having the body of a glass jar

I don't think how a player, especially a quarterback, looks in training camp predicts how they well handle the pressure of an NFL game. There's really no evidence at all the Croyle can read an NFL defense, or make throws under pressure, so even if Croyle could stay healthy, he hasn't proven anything other than he has a good training camp arm.

especially in a training camp led by Herm Edwards.
