All of the recent talk about whether or not Brodie Croyle is tough to be an NFL quarterback baffles me. First it was the sports radio guys and now even Herm has questioned Brodie's ability to be "available". Herm even went as far as to say that Croyle couldn't be the quarterback of the future if he can't be available. Here's the part I missed...Why does it matter? No one is questioning whether I'm tough enough to be an NFL quarterback, why not? Because I'm not talented enough to be an NFL quarterback. Sadly, neither is Brodie.
The Chiefs tried to hand the job to Croyle in the preseason and he bombed so horribly that the "quarterback of the future" actually got booed off the field in preseason. Has this ever happened before? Then, halfway through the season he gets another shot and so far he's completed 59% of his passes with 5 TDs and 6 INTs. He's averaging right around 200 yards passing a game. Sure, the Chiefs offense has been bad all year, but across the board those number are worse than Damon Huard, a career backup.
Bottom line, Brodie Croyle could be UFC tough and it wouldn't matter, he's not an NFL quarterback. This is like debating whether Jeremy Case has the body to hold up to an 82 game NBA season. It doesn't matter because Case isn't good enough to play at the next level, and neither is Croyle.
