PowerI 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 What worries me the most about this upcoming season is whether or not Brandon can stay healthy the whole season. One thing is his size. He has good height but 202lbs is not enough weight for a 6'2 quarterback. I know we are suppose to have a lot of good linemen, but all it takes is one hit. And if he does go down, we're left with two backups that have no experience and have not gotten rave reviews from the coaching staff. Hopefully, everything will work out and I'm just living up pessimistic eeyore side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
API50 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Don't worry. If it happens, there isn't anything anyone can do about it except do the best we can with what is left. If Cox gets hurt early in the season, we will be fine....not great... but fine....maybe 7-4 even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUloggerhead 2,241 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Team: Starting QB, ht/wt AU: Brian Cox, 6-2/202 uat: Brodie Croyle, 6-3/205 Arky: Robert Johnson, 6-2/212 UF: Chris Leak, 6-0/210 UGA: DJ Shockley, 6-1/206 UK: Andre Woodson, 6-5/230 LSU: JM Russell, 6-5/248 OM: Michael Spurlock, 5-11/200 MSU: Omarr Conner, 6-0/215 USC: Blake Mitchell, 6-3/194 UT: Eric Ainge, 6-6, 212 Vandy: Jay Cutler, 6-4/228 When comparing our Cox to the others, just keep telling yourself this: size doesn't matter.

auferg 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 That list of SEC quarterbacks is not very awe-inspiring. Brandon has a chance to be at the top of the heap very early in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take control of your negative thoughts or they will take control of you reducing your ability to maximize your enjoyment of the season. What ever bad happens AU will deal with it. WAR EAGLE!!!

auskull 239 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 During fan day I understand Cox was saying he was up to 212. Brodie and Leak are the best in the league this year, when healthy. Not in Jason's class but very good. I think on another team Brodie would be better. Still, I would be more concerned about UAT's situation than anybody in the league. I am looking forward to our depth and talent next year at QB. Just getting better. Cox should have a better career than Brodie, who has been a big dissapointment. Similar to others who have wasted their careers at UAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
