Yeah it is kinda creepy how much he looks like him...All he needs to do is grow out the chops and wear a mink coat on the sidelines :beer:
It's almost like some omniscient being is trying to tell us something. The hair, the face, the knees, the number, the school... Being the Jets we'll ignore the divine intervention of course.
If he is still available with out first third round pick and we haven't taken a QB, I don't see how we could pass up on him...he would be a real good value there... Chances are he could be there too...His injuries and slim build might make him drop a bit.
Yeah, I would have him at 71 if I thought he would be there. If he somehow is available there, I'd take him in a heartbeat. I'll cross my fingers for Eslinger at 97 and take that OLB from UTEP at the top of round 4 instead.
That would make my day. He would be great value in the 3rd round if he's still there. I'd prefer him over Clemens. Whoever said Croyle has a weak arm is a frickin' dumba**. He has one of the strongest arms in the draft, right up there with Cutler.
Croyle has one of the best arms in the draft, but hopefuly we could get him in the 3rd and get Carpenter in the 2nd.
out of the second wave of QBs i like omar jacobs followed by kellen clemens and brodie croyle. Jacobs is a big QB with good mobility who is an extremely accurate passer with a good arm. His mechanics are a little awkward, but if hes given a year to sit and adjust to/refine his game he can turn out to be a great player in this league. Omar Jacobs 6'4 235 Stat Overview Passing YEAR CMP ATT YDS CMP% YPA LNG TD INT SACK RAT 2003 19 28 345 67.9 12.32 66 4 0 1 218.50 2004 309 462 4002 66.9 8.66 58 41 4 10 167.20 2005 195 321 2591 60.7 8.07 63 26 7 11 150.92 He did struggle a little this year compared to his 04 season, but that can be overlooked considering he plays for Bowling Green and didnt have to much of a supporting cast.
That would be me. But then again, what do I know. SI wrote on their top 10 busts: 1. Brodie Croyle, QB, Alabama: A solid short-yardage passer who's done a great job on the college level when healthy, Croyle has marginal size, arm strength and durability for the next level. Many predict he will be selected during the second round, but the better bet is he'll be a lifelong backup.
We have already told you that that he had the second strongest arm at the combine...no need to listen to some writer.
Ohh, I forgot. If I need my opinion, I will just ask you guys for it. Sorry about that... Anyway, another viewpoint for sh&%s and giggles... http://www.footballoutsiders.com/2006/03/23/ramblings/stat-analysis/3774/ College Quarterbacks Through the Prism of Statistics 3/23/2006 Guest column by David Lewin For controversial predictions, you need to go to the second and third rounds. The system projects that Clemson?s Charlie Whitehurst will be a good pro, Bowling Green?s Omar Jacobs a solid starter, and Alabama?s Brodie Croyle a bust. But the most interesting projection is for a player who isn?t even in this year?s draft. According to this projection system, Philip Rivers will emerge as one of the top quarterbacks in the league over the next couple of years. It turns out that letting Drew Brees go to New Orleans may not have been a mistake after all.
I am not trying to tell you your opinion sucks, because first of all you are basing your opinion off of other poeples opinions... I am basing it off fact. His arm is not weak...he threw it about the same velocity as Jay Cutler who has the strongest arm in the draft.
Penny - I was making a funny about the "opinion" thing. I know you weren't telling me my opinion sucks. However, the thing is that we all base our opinion about things we have read, etc. You cannot say you base your opinion on fact anymore than I can. How do you *really* know that Croyle's arm has the same velocity as Cutlers?? Have you caught both Croyles and Cutlers passes?? Did you see them at the combine?? If you did, how did you you come up with that type of measure??? See what I am getting at? Your statement...much like everyone else on this board...is based upon on other information from other sources. Just because Mike Mayock or Len Pastabelli say it, doesn't make it so. Therefore your statement about these guys armstrength's is a bit unrealistic.
I know Brodie's arm ALMOST has the same velocity is because I read that Cutler threw the ball 59 MPH at the combine and Brodie threw it 58 MPH. I also think I heard it on TV. How about this? I have watched Brodie play football! He has a sweet deep ball with plenty of zip.

To be fair, you should have also posted 'ole Brodie getting lit up by Auburn... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y2tpPRQuiw&feature=PlayList&p=CB9F4FCD39889B66&index=0
