Yeah, I figure I need to make it to about 140 to even get a chance to see a playoff appearance.

(I didn't say win....don't want to be too optimistic..)

Same here. Thigpen is 4th string to me.

Croyle could literally crap his pants Thursday night and I'd still start him in week one over Thigpen.

Nothing like comparing Croyle to a HOF'r. ROFL

I wouldn't hate on him that much.......I'd honestly say he's prob one of the best if not the best 3rd stringer in the NFL.....based on what he did last season.

But what about when he gets injured. I'd rather start Thigpen against the Ravens Defense. No way Croyle survives and I'm not willing to risk getting Cassel killed.

Me too. To ansewr your question - I might not have a few more decades left...

People are making too much of the Ravens defense. A QB can get hurt against any team - KC (Brady), Bengals (Green).

Well, let's just hope it's a smooth BM then... we don't need Croyle pulling an ass muscle! :D

Its not our risk, its the coaches...

I really think injuries won't hamper Brodie this year, it looks like he is in much better shape physically, thanks in no small part to Haley's conditioning program. Brodie took some hits in the Vikings game that would have shut him down for good last year, and he got up and played. Conditioning makes a world of difference, and the arm is certainly there. I would argue that a healthy Croyle has the potential to be one of the top 15 Qb's in the league. But quick release will be the issue, he's a decent scrambler, but with our current line that ball needs to spend minimal time in his hands. Que up Boldin, more passes over the middle, and O-line upgrades maestro!
