    Brian Brohm vs. Atlanta Falcons, 12/27/09

    Series 1
    Threw the ball a bit low to McIntyre (1st 13:44). Took a sack, had a small window to throw the ball time wise, but the pocket collapsed quickly. Still could have gotten the ball out. (1st 13:34).

    Series 2
    Starts in a hole, false start on 73 backs them up another 5. Nice toss back to Jackson on 1st down. Threw the ball over the head of TO with a guy at his feet. No one was open. (1st 11:23).

    Series 3
    Run on 1st. Run for 1st on 2nd. Pump fake long throw for TO, overthrown. Had a nice spiral, a bit too much loft. (1st 6:26). Run on 2nd. Nice throw to Jackson in the flat, short of the 1st. (1st 5:22).

    Series 4
    Run on 1st. Nice throw on 2nd, away from the defender, a bit too far outside (2nd 13:13). Another decent throw to Lynch who dropped it, again away from defender (2nd 13:04). Run out of Wildcat. Immediate pressure on 3rd and 4, threw the ball out to Evans, too high, threw off his wrong foot.

    Series 5
    Nice job on a screen pass to McIntyre for a gain of 8. Good job feeling the pressure and delivering the ball with a guy in his face (2nd 9:40). Run for 1st down. Threw the ball to Nelson, who didn't turn around. May have thrown it early (2nd 8:35). Nice job on the fake for a 1st down screen pass (2nd 8:01). Threw a ball up off target to the inside to TO for an INT. TO appears to have given up and not fight for the ball. But Brohm again put too much loft on it. He throws a nice tight spiral and has decent zip on short throws, but he is lofting the ball too much on long throws. (2nd 8:00). He isnt costing the team by making bad decisions except on his long throws which are off target.

    Series 6
    Starting deep due to block in the back penalty. Starting from the 5. Nice throw to TO for a 1st down. A quick curl. Gain of 10. Put the ball on the money (2nd 5:50). Nice check down to Jackson for a gain of 8. Solid job going through his progressions on that play (2nd 4:52). Git decent time and threw for a nice 1st down to Evans, gain of 12. Roughing the passer, 15 yards tacked on (2nd 4:40). Another nice short throw to TO on a curl in the flat. Having a solid drive, good decision making and pocket awareness. Appears to have calmed down. Run on 2nd and 2. 3rd and 1, false start on Jackson, now 3rd and 6. Nice throw on the 1st down line to TO. Quick release, good zip, and a tight spiral. Good accuracy on that throw, drilled it into his numbers. Measured for 1st down (2nd 2:41). Run on 1st. 2 minute offense. Nice throw for 8 yards to Evans on the short out to the left (2nd 1:54). Threw it away on 3rd and 3. Penalty on Chambers, declined. 4th down. What I like is that he didn't force the ball, he simply threw it away.

    ----Half Time----

    Series 7
    Starting on their own 10. Run on 1st for 2. Quick decision to run it for 1, wanted to throw to TO who wasn't open. 3 wide set, twists around for a short throw to Stupar which was tipped. Threw it down a bit too much instead of lofting it over the lineman, 3rd and 8 (3rd 11:00).

    Series 8
    Run on 1st for a loss. Drilled the ball to Lynch on a short throw, penalty for illegal formation. Brohm showed very nice pocket presence and poise on that play, felt no pressure and took his time. 2nd down, fumble for TD after the hand off. Jackson was stripped of the ball.

    Series 9
    From their own 21. Nice short throw to McIntyre in the flat for a gain of 6. Another nice short throw to the left to McIntyre for a 1st down. Nice intermediate throw to TO for 15 yards. Right on the money, nice accuracy (3rd 4:13). Nice intermediate throw for 16 yards to Evans. Looking very calm in the pocket. (3rd 2:52). Incomplete pass to Stupar just past his hands, on 1st down. Again away from the defender. Looked like Stupar might have been tripped up or slowed down on his route. Short pass to Evans for gain of 6. (3rd 2:06). Timeout. Hes showing solid poise and isn't getting rattled even though the line is getting pushed back to him and his pocket has collapsed at times. Short pass to TO blocked by defender. Appeared a bit off target, too close to defender, a bit behind TO. (3rd 1:58).

    Series 10
    From their own 30. Failed end around to TO on 1st. 2nd and 14, from shotgun, delay of game. Bad choice by Brohm. 2nd and 19, draw run to 27. 3rd and 14, threw the ball away due to pressure (4th 11:52).

    Series 11
    Nice quick slant to Hardy for a gain of 9 (4th 3:46). Picked for an INT on a throw to Evans. Ball thrown behind Evans. Defender squatted on it and made the pick. Not a typical throw by him in this game, Usually throws away from the defender.

    Good pocket presence. Doesn't make stupid mistakes where he forces the ball. May look a bit tentative and isn't taking as many chances, but that may be a good thing this early in his career. Appears to be fairly calm in the pocket, I didn't really see happy feet. Impressive job making throws with the pressure on. Really good job managing the short game and moving the offense when he had time. Looks decisive and makes the throws with authority. Doesn't hang in the pocket too long and take needless sacks. He gets the ball out, runs, or throws it away.

    Has good mechanics with a quick release, nice throwing motion. He has good arm strength but not great. Accuracy is good in the short and intermediate game. He throws away from the defenders and usually on target. Can overthrow his guys at times, but so far, has thrown it to high or long and away from the defender. That's where you would prefer the bad throws. If its under thrown or at the defender, you risk INT's. Made a bad throw behind Evans in the 4th, but that was the only one I saw. Long throws off target, that's the biggest question mark on him at this point. They appear to be thrown with too much air and off target.

        It's his first game...he looked OK and has potential. Wish he would have been coached up more to play at the end of the season, but this coaching staffed dropped the ball. Perry Fool is way too caught up in the belief that he actually had a chance to be the next HC, that he stunted the growth of many of the young players on this team. This kid must start next week...even if Fitz is healthy.

          He didn't **** his pants back there...that's enough for me to determine he should be back for TC next season.

              Trent Edwards is still twice the QB Brian Brohm is and even Fitzpatrick at this point in his career is a much better option.

                Not really...both have proven they suck. Brohm was on the same level as both of them today and it was only his first game started in the NFL. To me, that shows he has much more upside and is a better option then both of them. Then again, that isn't saying much.

                      Agreed. I hate typing, so I'm not gonna say a lot more.

                      Good post.

                        Point of reference:

                        Anyone care to take a guess at who's stats these are from their first game?

                          Not everyone has upside.

                          Some players are what you see is what you get.

                          What we got is more crappy QB play, just a different name.

                            But its also undetermined what his future holds, that's the same as any rookie, and different from Trent and Fitz.

                              Considering he's never played a regular season down in th NFL, he played pretty well. He made only a few mistakes, and they were thye kind of mistakes yoou often see a young player make. Anyone who trashes Brohm on his play today does so not because he's being objective, but because he's got an agenda. I'd like to see him get the start next week, but more than that I'd like to see what he can do behind an actual offensive line instead o a train wreck.
                              I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                              I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
