Hey Draft Experts, Was Brohm ...

[BuffaloBlitz83]

A higher rated pro prospect than Edwards and Losman coming out? Also experts, which QB stylistically does Brohm remind you of, I know it has been a few years.

Seems like the arm strength is there with the kid, but he has to work on his consistency. From the video, he seems pretty mobile. Practicing in GB may have helped him as they run a nice offense. Not sure if he was on active roster tho.

A good move regardless. Low risk, high reward. Buffalo still has to draft a QB. If he pans out, super! If not, Oh well.

Re: Hey Draft Experts, Was Brohm ...

Here is what I wrote about him, he ws the #2 QB prospect in this class by my rankings;

2. Brian Brohm-Louisville 6’3, 227 lbs, 4.79-40

Pros:
-Size
-Arm Strength
-Mechanics
-Experience
-Accuracy, Timing, Touch

Cons:
-Injuries
-Limited Upside
-Athleticism
-Leadership

Analysis:
Brohm is the most NFL ready QB in this draft, as he can make all the throws and has very solid mechanics. He does not have an absolute cannon but he has more than enough arm strength to spare. Brohm has a few big concerns: he underwent knee surgery in 2005 for a torn ACL, thumb surgery in 2006 for torn thumb ligaments, and just over a year ago, shoulder surgery on his non-throwing shoulder. That is going to scare off some teams as he only played his first
full season this past year. Another big criticism of Brohm has been his lack of vocal leadership. He essentially does hisjob and goes home. He needs to become more of a leader in the huddle.

Stats:
2004 66-98, 67.3%, 819yds, 6TD, 2INT
2005 207-381, 54.3%, 2883yds, 19TD, 5INT
2006 199-313, 63.5%, 3049yds, 16TD, 5INT
2007 308-473, 65.1%, 4024 30TD, 12INT
TOTAL: 780-1265, 61.6%, 10,775yds, 71TD, 24INT

Was he rated as a higher prospect than JP and Trent?

He reminded me of Jim Kelly. great mechanics amazing arm, solid mobility (not fast). Big strong kid.

I have no idea what happened to him in the pros... his fall from grace has been stunning to me... it started with some terrible workouts before the draft... and just kept snowballing. As to his rating.. had you asked me in 2008 i would have said he was the 2nd best prospect in that draft... behind only Ryan. Well that was before the combines anyway...

big miss by me. Don't know what happened there. His collapse in GB has been beyond puzzling to me. One of the rare times i was taken completely by surprise by a QBs inability to adjust to the NFL.


And yes.. i would have rated him FAR above both Trent and JP. FAR FAR FAR above them.

Could be a late bloomer and change of scenery may help. Maybe he was unmotivated knowing he had no shot to start due to Rogers being in picture. Very dumb but you never know, he pictured himself going to a better spot to start when he entered draft.

He was ranked higher than Trent, probably similar ranking to Losman (who should have gone in the 2nd probably).

I thought Brohm could be a 1st rounder on draft day. He was a guy I liked a lot.

Hes fairly mobile, has a good pocket feel, good arm strength, nice size, is able to find open guys and read defenses. Hes a proven winner, has decent ability to lead the team.

I agree with DB that he wasn't as much of a clear field general as you might like.

Put it this way, if he was in this years list of prospects, id have him up there with any of them. To me it would be Bradford or Brohm... yes above Locker and Clausen.

Re: Hey Draft Experts, Was Brohm ...

He was ahead of Trent but JP with his athleticism was a higher prospect.

Do you think that moving to a new place could kick start him to getting back to where you'd think he should be?

It's not even close...

Brohm was light years ahead of both players coming out.

Complete agreement, I dont understand why he has fallen so hard so fast. His interviews I heard seemed great, he has the ability, but something is not clicking for him.

We'll see what happens though. As of right now, I missed big time on this kid as well.

One could only hope, Im not sure how much it will help out but it can't hurt any. He wasn't going to do anything in Green Bay.

I agree with you take on Brohm...He rminded me of Jimbo...I am really surprised that it hasn't worked out for him in Green Bay...He is a better prospect than any of the three we have at worst he is a 3rd string guy learning the system who should be given a chance to show what he has in the future.
