As of Sunday, it'll be one month since the Bills signed Brohm. He has been working exclusively with the scout team. Clearly, he's not ready to be trusted with the profound intellectual challenge of running the Bills' offense. It wouldn't be fair to throw him into the fire with so little preparation.
This is, of course, the organization that fired its offensive coordinator 10 days before the opener and gave the job to a virtual novice, Van Pelt. That was around the time they cut a veteran left tackle and gave the job to a kid who hadn't played a down in the league.
It was those same Bills who hired a general manager, Russ Brandon, with a marketing background and no significant experience in player personnel. Oh, and the guy making the decisions on the field right now, Fewell, had no head coaching experience one month ago.
Gee, it seems the Bills lead the league in allowing people to figure things out on the fly. But suddenly, a month isn't enough time for Brohm to at least suit up as the No. 2 quarterback.
Fewell paused for eight seconds before answering. Then he said Brohm hasn't had enough chance to develop in the offense. He said it might be a "recipe for failure" to throw him in now.
"But you never say never," Fewell said. "You approach each day as it comes, each situation as it comes, and you never rule out a possibility."
My translation: At some point, someone in management, or owner Ralph Wilson, might order him to do it. But these are the Bills, who never make a move until it's absolutely the right time.
