I feel better about S&C than I have in a long time, now. Brodie, and perhaps some others, did not receive the pressure they should have to become stronger. There are several reasons for this, but they seem to have largely evaporated. Back to Brodie, he wasn't a weight room warrior, by any means, and he'll have to better in the pros, or he won't stay there long. He's talented, but not talented enough that the S&C can be ignored. However, I tend to agree that the injuries he's had so far, he would probably have had anyway. But, OTOH, both knees are repaired and less subject to injury now, since, as a part of the ACL repair, the femoral arch is relieved, so as to make future injuries to the graft less likely. The shoulder was a freak thing, but, again caused by doing too much - and he seems to have learned that lesson. That leaves the "hard gainer" problem. He'll probably never weigh twenty pounds more. He's tried eating his way up, without success. He just has a fast metabolism. That said, there are a lot of successful QBs in the pros who aren't imposing physical specimens. I'd say that his success depends entirely on whether he can learn to scan the field and go through his progressions. Now that is a characteristic all successful NFL QBs have...
