Is Brian Brohm....
a Chan Gailey type QB? i'm tired of all the goobers with their Vick and Tebow ball licking. i don't think neither one is worth the Bills to consider. we have this young kid, with two horrible QB's, and was wondering if he'd be worth considering to take a look at for the future. i don't know if he's a Chan Gailey type guy or even if he would have a chance to flourish in his system. anybody know???

I'd certainly think we should give Brohm a look if not a season long audition.
If Gailey can get decent play out of Thigpen, then he should be able to do something with Brohm. -
Re: Is Brian Brohm....
I don't know that there really is a "Chan Gailey type QB." He has won with Slash, Fiedler and an over-the-hill Aikman. That's a diverse group.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: Is Brian Brohm....
He is "worth a look" based on due diligence alone.Comment

Re: Is Brian Brohm....
I think he's worth a look due solely to lack of other options. It beats spending a first on Tebow or trading a 5th for Vick.Comment

Re: Is Brian Brohm....
I think it's very safe to say there will be a huge competition this offseason and through training camp between Brohm , Edwards and whoever else the Bills bring in...

Re: Is Brian Brohm....
Who actually on the coaching staff or FO wanted Brohm? Maybe Nix did? Hopefully he gets a shot. I'm tired of the Vick and Tebow threads too.Let's Go Bills ... B B B B B B Bills!Comment

Re: Is Brian Brohm....
My guess is Nix definitely had a huge influence on going after Brohm.Originally posted by CTBills97
they obviously didn't expect him to play much last year.... so the only rational thought is he was brought in to compete this year

Re: Is Brian Brohm....
I can't see why he and one more UFA yet to be aquired QB can't go to the OTA's and get the O down, with the best man winning. Fitz is not the answer and is strictly a backup/coach type. Edwards should be gone.
There is no franchise Qb in this draft and Peyton Manning is not walking through the door. Nor do I wan't Vick. That's just a bad idea on so many levels.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for witComment

Re: Is Brian Brohm....
Oh, there are plenty of rational reasons why you'd bring in Brohm.Originally posted by ddaryl
The biggest is that none of the quarterbacks on our roster were performing well and he was the best prospect that one could hope to pull from a practice squad, which was our only option that that point.
Gotta be better than resigning Gibram Hamden, right?

Re: Is Brian Brohm....
I'd like to see Brohm get a shot. Considering his total lack of practice and preparation this past season, I thought he did pretty well in the Atlanta game with his decision making. He was able to get rid of the ball quickly at times when under pressure and seemed to recognize deeper pass opportunities too and at least made attempts.
Also, from there was an article where he was interviewed, I believe on the bills website that made me like him more. He showed the right confidence to take it to the next level and was able to recognize mistakes he had made in Green Bay earlier in his career, but seemed ready to learn and grow from them.
No matter what happens in free agency or the draft, I would expect him to at least have a chance to compete for the starting job.Comment

Re: Is Brian Brohm....
I would put more trust in Gailey/Cortez developing Brohm or any qb than Dick/Fairchild/Shonert/AVPComment
