All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Prior to the Brohm signing. Earlier this year I thought the Miami Dolphins made a heck of a deal to land Thigpen as a backup or possible starter had Henne stumbled which he has not. Henne has looked nice from the clips I have seen. But nonetheless I wanted to see how these two young QB's compare.
Brohm was ranked second in the 2008 draft among quarterback prospects above Flacco and Henne and others taken in the draft.
I liked him pre-draft, I like him now. I question his drive to get better, start and lead a team, but if a change of scenery and a better QB situation helps, there is potential for Brohm to be a starter.
Post Green Bay picking of Brohm many experts picked Brohm as beating Rodgers out for the starting position his rookie season. That obviously didn't happen.
Give the kid playtime and he maybe he improves leaps and bounds and we can focus on getting him protection and building a team around him.
But let's face it. He was on a practice squad for a reason. He has starter potential, or he is a bust. We will find out very soon.
Alright first off let's cool it with the Kelly/Elway comparison the kid has even taken a snap yet.
Let's not put all the pressure of Bilsl nation on him from the get go.
As far as Brohm v. Thigpen...I like Brohm better potential wise, has a better, arm, more productive in college, and better mechanics. But Thigpen has shown some ability in the pros to get the job done and is a little more athletic.
COMING SOON...

Brohm also chose to come to Buffalo. Green Bay matched the offer, he chose to come here.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
