Navarre and Croom.
Alrighty, let's see what kind of toys are burried at the bottom of the chest. I like these moves--not because I think we're necessarily going to find a couple of gems that will instantly turn us into contenders, though. I like them because it let's us know where we stand.
Can Navarre become and NFL QB? Maybe--we won't know until we see. Don't look for him to manage an entire game and play mistake free (he won't). Look for signs that tell us he might develop into something more. Look for individual drives where he seems to be "getting it." Let's see if he has a fire in his belly and can provide a spark to the offense and be a leader of men. If he can show me these things, I'll be pleased.
As for Croom, I'm going to be looking to see if he can pick up the blitzing backers. Can he find the hole and hit it, while still maintaining enough control and vision to make a cutback? What I saw against the jets was a kid who finishes his runs very strong and has the potential to make the first guy miss. I hope he can build on that.
For good or bad, it's an exciting time to be a cardinals' fan!
