Croyle is actually a third year guy....but him getting injured, isn't much of a surprise. Thats why they keep Damon Huard around, they know he'll see a fair bit of game action.

I think the Pats can survive with Cassel, he has great weapons to work with, and they have smart coaches. They'll figure out a way to simplify the offence and let him get the ball in the hands of those guys. Fart Brady became a Superstar when injury gave him a window to play, not saying it will happen again, but that is how many NFL guys get their shot at that position. But if Brady is out, the AFC suddenly opens up for a lot of teams. Still the Superbowl isn't given out in week one.
