Croyle throws off of his back foot on occasion.
I have heard/read several people bashing on Croyle for throwing off of his back foot. I just got done watching SPORTSCENTER run highlights of some of last nights pre-season games. And guess what? Favre threw at TD pass off his back foot. So did Garcia. And Hasselback threw a pass off his backfoot as well. Looks like Croyle is in some good company IMO.

I agree with you on Favre, but I think Coogs' point is that almost all QBs throw off their back foot at times, even a weak armed Garcia.

but that INT he threw last game was atrocious... When he threw it, it looked as if he was uber excited - like the entire defense fell down or something. I was extremely confused when I saw the results of the play seconds later. |

I just hope it's another "rookie" mistake, and that he learned from it, whatever that mistake might have been. I'm willing to live with a few of those this season. |

Croyle is good at sticking the ball to receivers.. can't trust our guys to go up and fight for anything (hopefully Bowe will inspire some ferocity?!)
Gotta fire the rope!!! |

I know Brodie threw that pass on his back foot, but it was also underthrown big time, IMHO. If he had put some more force on it, it would most likely hit the WR with the DB in very tight coverage.

This is an interesting thread because I think the throwing off the back foot gripe is overrated.
Yes you would like for your QB to have picture perfect mechanics every single time but that's just not realistic. Not when guys are crashing around you. A good QB has got to be able to deliver the ball when he's a little off balance. My main gripe with Croyle isn't the back foot thing. It's just the decision he makes from time to time. But I fully expect that from a young QB and I'm willing to live through it while he learns. |

All QB's do it from time to time...... Sometimes they get away with it and at times they don't.

Funny. That sport they call baseball. They have a player called a pitcher. Those pitchers throw off which foot, to get their power?
