Forked Thread: The best part about Brohm

Re: Forked Thread: The best part about Brohm

I don't want them to draft a QB next year regardless of how Brohm does, so I hope he lights it up.

I've said it many times before, but I want us to focus on the O and DLines in the draft, followed by LB. Then, if we still need a QB (and I'm guessing that we will), we draft one in 2011.

Re: Forked Thread: The best part about Brohm

I think the best possible QB move for the Bills right now is to go into camp with Brohm and a vet and let them fight it out in camp.

Fix the OL this off-season and worry about QB next season if Brohm doesn't pan out.

Re: Forked Thread: The best part about Brohm

If Brohm shows good mechanics, timing, arm strength, leadership and poise while throwing for 500 yards and 5 touchdowns with limited interceptions then the upside is tremendous enough that it allows us to sign a veteran QB such as Garcia or (God forbid) Vick and not worry about drafting a QB high.

Two games is a very limited amount of film to watch on the kid. Especially because his amount of passes will be controlled and limited.

But, there are certain intangibles we can look for.

To be honest I am torn.

On one hand, there is a reason he was on a practice squad. The Bills never get lucky on things like this, and his confidence level in GB appeared shattered.

On the other hand, he was a tremendous talent in college. Deemed "pro ready" by scouts and ranked extremely high. He is only a year removed from being a second round pick. He might have only needed a change of scenery. Who knows?

If he does well over the next two games it will be behind a patchwork offensive line and with awful play calling and coaching. That in itself makes him deserve a second look.

If he does the above I say you sign a vet and build a team around him. ie. OFFENSIVE LINE!!!

If he sucks next season, you can draft a QB very high.

Re: Forked Thread: The best part about Brohm

his performance is irrelevant and therefore he shouldn't even be playing. QBs are hard to find and acquiring BB helps build the roster going into next season. They should also still have TE and acquire another experienced vet if they can get their hands on one. If they like a guy in the draft they should get him too. It would be nice to have four guys competing for this critical job instead of handing it to someone who hasn't done squat EVER and hanging the season on them. Let them all duke it out may the best man win and keep everybody else that isn't an absolute disgrace.

Re: Forked Thread: The best part about Brohm

Give me a fricken break.....

I'll play this fantasy game though....

If Brohm by some miracle throws for 500+ yards with the worst offensive line in the league and a basic offensive scheme... then we should give him a 100 million dollar contract right after week 17.

But Brohm won't do crap... he's being stuck in the worst possible position which is what the Bills seeminly always do to young QB's.....

He goes from practice squad to active roster to sqout team to starter in like 4 weeks???? I would give JP Losman a better chance... and I hate JP Losman.

Re: Forked Thread: The best part about Brohm

You still bring in David Carr - to me, a much better option than Vick, Campbell, Simms, Garcia or any other vet out there imo - to compete.

All non-football related stuff put to the side, there is no way you can convince me that David Carr is a better option that Vick. No way.

Re: Forked Thread: The best part about Brohm

If he looks good, you sign a vet (I like Chris Simms) and draft a project late (John Skelton, Thaddeus Lewis) to keep for developmental purposes.

I have nothing against Simms, but I have zero issues with keeping Fitz as the backup. In my eyes, he is the perfect backup.

Either way for me. Id take both as they seem ideal.

Re: Forked Thread: The best part about Brohm

I can assure you of this; the front office and coaching staff isn't thinking for a second about next year. With the exception of Brandon, nobody has a job that is safe for next year, nobody. Everybody will be evaluated, depending on who Wilson brings in as the GM.

So Brohm does not give them the best chance to win Sunday in Fewell's eyes. He will only play if Fitz can't.

I would love to see EVERY young player on this roster start and play the last two games.

If I had my way, hardy and johnson would be starting at WR, and Ellis and Maybin would start at DE.

I'd also play Ellis Lankster ahead of Youboty at Corner.

But having said that, guys coaching for their jobs aren't going to do that, and I probably wouldn't either.

Not a good situation for Buffalo

im starting to feel like this also.

plus like ive said before had he come out in his junior year he was projected as an early 1st.

i think we are gonna get lucky for once just think of all the 1st rounder we have spent through trades and drafting JP(i think we made a mistake with him i blame jauron)

anyway this franchise is due a little luck and i think a solid qb has fallen into our laps for once

now we just need a real coach and a real GM to draft us some big men hopefully a great LT

He's the perfect backup if you like 116, 123, 117, 98, 86 and 178 yard passing games. IMO Trent is the perfect backup QB........plays it safe, throws alot of high% passes, wont lose you a game, but wont win it for you either......prototypical backup if you ask me.
