Brodie"the future" Croyle

[DrunkHillbilly]

Another two crucial INT's!!!! Man this kid has a future!!

My point is that both Garrard and Garcia were available to be picked up or traded for in the off season. Once again, we did nothing in free agency. We decided to put our teams hopes on the shoulders Damon Huard?????? Yea, he came in and did well when the starter went down but to count on him as your starter going into a new season? With a rookie as a backup and no 3rd stringer?? Come on! Garrard and Garcia are both taking their respective teams to places not many people expected them to be. I agree he is young but I was not a fan of drafting him when we did and as you can see, I am still not a fan of his now. I hear people talking about his "strong arm", well, I think Favre has shown us that a strong arm doesn't mean accurate passing! I do think it is funny how you just compared Croyle to 3 of the best all time QB's though! My guess is that we will be looking for another QB in a few years.

Croyle is NOT a rookie this year. How come everybody forgets this? He has carried the clipboard for a year and a half. Any more than that and he is a wasted draft pick.

It earned him the nickname trINT.

I gave JW the idea for that nickname.. I sent 810, at the time, an email using Tr-INT for his name like 5 times. This was in Trent's first year. I was very unhappy with him. I know better now.

I will never get credit for it but still.....

We'll give you credit for it here, FWIW!

Jeff Garcia? Seriously? The guy would fit right in with the Chiefs mentality of bringing in QBs in the waning moments of the careers. I can't believe Garcia would even be mentioned. The guy is 37 years old! He also has a decent coach and a line to protect him, and WR's to throw to that can actually hold onto a catch!

Garrard is doing well, but he has a team of WRs to work with and a line that works for him. He's also going to be 30 in Feb and is another example of why he shouldn't have been brought in. If he stays healthy he'll probably play three more years of good football. So that doesn't really help us long term.

We need a young QB that we can develop into a franchise player. The days of bringing in old washed up QBs, or any other player for that matter, to play two or three seasons is over. That mentality, thanks in no small part to Carl Peterson, has led us to the horrible situation we're in right now.

Like it or not, Croyle is our QB for the future. Even the great QB's like Elway, Favre, Marino and Manning all had rough starts in the NFL. Even Vince Young has struggled. It's a tough game and completely different from college and there is a big learning curve that can only be overcome with time.

This team is not going to see a serious playoff run for several years. So why spend a lot of money to bring in talent for one position? The whole team needs to be re-worked and that is going to take time and some good drafting. A lot of the older players will be jettisoned. I expect Dunn, Wiegman, Law, Surtain, Turley, Bell, Drummond, Carney and even Huard to be gone this off season.

How many INT's did Trent Green throw in his umpteenth year? Complaining over two? C'mon.

This is funny!!! Your comparing Croyle to Green??? Showin me a lot now luv!!

[DrunkHillbilly]

Carl loves fans like you. Band-aid. Don't build.

I never said don't fix it. Those band aids you speak of are working fairly well I would say in Tampa and J-Ville don't ya think???

We all know this!!!! I am speaking in playing terms.

You can't be serious with this post!! How did Garcia do with the Eagles??? Tampa??? I don't want him as our franchise but if we are going to have a below avg QB playing, we can atleast give him somebody who knows what the hell is going on right there with him!! As far as Garrard goes, I would have traded for him 2 fricken years ago. This kid is good!!! 2 or 3 INT's on the year!!!! He's mobile and accurate!! C 'mon, he would be a 100% upgrade from Croyle!!
