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

I'm all for giving the kid a shot, but he certainly doesn't look like the 2nd coming of Joe Montana at this point. We'll see, only time will tell, but I'd give him this season, than yank off the umbilical cord. Croyle needs to take major strides, he's twenty-five years old, we need to stop babying him and make him earn his keep.

He had 6 interceptions, not 8. And he's not the only quarterback to suck majorly in his first year as a starter. Warren Moon threw more interceptions than touchdowns each of his first 3 seasons in the league. His 3rd season he had twice as many interceptions as touchdowns. Johnny Unitas had 9 touchdowns and 10 interceptions as a rookie. Troy Aikman went 0-11 and had twice as many interceptions as touchdowns as a rookie. I don't see why Croyle should be given up on when plenty of great quarterbacks absolutely sucked early on.
