Just kind of thought about this but Ol' Brodie Croyle made it through the whole season without getting hurt or should I say without missing any games. There was a lot of people talking about how injury prone he was. Someone on here even called him a China Doll and others said it was just a matter of time before he went down. I'd say after getting sacked 362 times this season he's proved his toughness. All the turkey might be gone but there's still plenty of crow to go around.

THANKS BRODIE. WE WILL MISS YOU.

I also think he is very tough, it is just a shame that he had the worst o-line in the country in front of him. If he had Vandy's o-line we probably would be 11-0 and he would have been a potential Heisman candidate.

and the youngest. We knew this going into the season. This was our weak link. Could be the best in a year or two. Like has been said before, over and over, Fran did not recruit OL.

Who would ever thought it could have been this bad? 11 sacks in 1 game? I didn't even know that was posible.

Nor did I my friend, nor did I. You can take it to the bank, you won't see it again from that line. Oh wait we have the bowl game. Just teasing, take it to the bank. Somewhere along the line you just have to believe, and that's not sunshine pumping, thats simply belief.

Great one liner and there are plenty of members here that need to step up to the buffet table. ;)

Ill admit, i was quite suprised to see him finish the year out. But he did and its too be commended. But, to call him tough from a career stand point is maybe a stretch. This is his first year to play an entire season since his junior year in high school. When i think of tough, i think of Brett Favre. Thats tough. For a ,ore apt comparison, Jay Cutler is tough. I appreciate all that Brodie has down for us and hell go down statistically as the best ever. However, i do look forward to a day when we dont have to worry about our qb going down to "end the season." Im not trying to be argumentative, its my opinion.

Toughness and avoiding injuries are not the same to many of us. I won't knock him. He's played through a seperated shoulder and other injuries that few would.

He may have finished the season, but from I understand he didnt make without getting hurt. I dont know for sure, but from what i understand he has been playing hurt for a few games now.

Sometimes toughness and durability get mixed together. Brodie is definitely tough. He played an entire season with one arm. He is suspect to injury, but that's much different than being tough.

Because he played hurt so much, you would have to call him "tough".

Toughest guy I've seen come through in a long, long time. Then again, I'm only 21. ;)
