Senior Bowl thoughts: Jay Cutler and Brodie Croyle

[The_Phinatic]

Brodie Croyle is not my favorite choice for the Dolphins, but he does not "suck".  Plummer "sucks" though.

Anyway, Sunstroke, if you ever plan to go to the Senior Bowl activities let me know and I can give you some scoop.  There are some things I've learned over the last 3 years about what is good to do and what is not.

Saban and Mueller do not drink beer in Mobile, FYI.

Tye Hill did not impress me at all at the Senior Bowl practices I saw or the game.  I went in thinking Miami might take him so I watched him a good bit. 

I like Auburn's Marcus McNeill as a legitimate OL candidate for Miami.  The OL players were stacked with talent IMO.

Charlie Whitehurst didn't look to good to me in practice, but did fine in the game other than what appeared to be a weak arm (still recovering from a shoulder injury).  Some folks I talked to thought Whitehurst looked better than Cutler in practice but I disagree.  I like Whitehurst though if Miami could get him in the 3rd or later.

By the way, I have over 300 photos from the days I was there.  I plan to post a few of them in phases.  If we draft any of them, I will post all of that player's pictures after the draft.

Here is phase 1 -- pre-game warmups.

Like i said, draft Croyle. I'd love every minute of it.

If I had my way, I would go to the Senior Bowl and the Combine every year...I love that sort of thing. Hopefully I'll be able to afford taking a week off next year for the Senior Bowl, and I'll definitely come talk to you for some inside dirt...thanks!

I don't want Miami to draft Croyle anymore than I wanted them to sign Plummer when he was a free agent.  I wouldn't cry if Miami got Croyle in the 5th or something, but I am holding out hope that we go QB early and get a long term franchise QB. 

Sunstroke, you really don't need to go for a week.  One to 2 days is plenty.  It's quite the experience for NFL nuts.

Plummer had a terrible last 3 years,huh ? I can see why you didn't want him. You're coaches were too incompetent to utilize him correctly. Makes sense. Frerotte is a gold mine.

This made me laugh. I'm sure Philly will too!

Alabama actually averaged 22 points a game and 30 a game before Prothro went down.  Thats not too bad if I do say so myself.  And if Croyle gains some weight to get up to about 225 or so (he has the frame) he could end up being a better QB than any of them.
