Croyle Versus Damon Versus Simms Versus Huard Versus Brohm Versus Damon Huard-Vote For the Least Crappy QB!

Play Huard, sign the free agent QB option who least repulses us, let Huard compete for his job for the rest of the season (against Croyle, the new signee, Thigpen, or whoever).

option 2, just because I like the parenthetical the best.

I think Brodie can be legit. He showed a lot of guts in the pats game hanging in the pocket and delivering a strike to TG and then getting drilled on third down early on. The shoulder injury was a difficult blow I think that was bad blocking. I am not sure but shouldnt the rb (can’t remember if it was smith or charles) take on the inside rusher first because the outside guy has to take one more step to get to the quarter back? Unfrotunate circumstances and another year without establishing a quarterback will retard the growth of this team even further but (perfect analogy coming) if you are already on the short bus, sitting in the front wont get you to your destination any sooner.

There really isn’t any other viable option.

I think thats been made crystal clear by the signing of Ingle Martin or Martin Ingle or whatever the hell his name is. This is a guy they will cut when Croyle comes back and maybe try to get on the practice squad.

So like it or not, when Croyle recovers from the injury, he’ll be the starting guy again, and Im fine with that. But I do think this upcoming offseason we need to be investigating other QB opportunities.

Is for the body, Matt. Not the headline. ;)

I’d be willing to trade a 1st or 2nd round pick for Brady Quinn if our coaches think he fits out system. Yes, we are rebuilding through the draft. Quinn is young enough to count. You just have to decide what we’d be giving up if we kept that high draft pick.

I think Brodie can play. I don’t know if he can survive. Send him to Detroit (General Motors, not the Lions) for a weekend and have him go through the Consumer Reports crash test dummy situations for an evaluation. Have them give us an analysis. If he’s questionable, at least purchase the extended warranty — which I usually avoid like a Raider fan at night after a whompin’.

And hey, Matt… Can you write out some questions for the SAT exam so that people have to think AND be able to stay awake! Good stuff.

while doing his rehab on his dislocated shoulder.

There are some positions on our roster that have great promise for the future, and then there are other positions that we can’t wait to address in ‘09 draft.
I’m a big supporter of “the Brodie plan”, but he is needs time to start developing into a legitmate signal caller. He can’t do that if he’s hurt after 2-3 games. What was the post from the other guys about Brodie’s health issues, its was like 3 injuries in 7 games. AT this rate it’ll take Brodie about 6 years to hit 36 starts.

Lets play him this year (ahem.. if he makes it through the whole year), but we seriously need to start developing an insurance plan. After this year (i.e. a Steve YOung when JOe’s return was questionable. Not that Brodie is comparable to Joe, not yet anyways)
