are we not ok with just going with Brohm

[trapezeus]

We traded for the guy, he's as green as a rookie, but has some nfl experience.

Why not develop the line with BPA on both sides of the ball and see if he's worth keeping?

Why do we need a QB that has flaws that need to be worked out? We already have 3 of those.

I'm cool with developing the core, and then getting a stud QB after our 3-13 campaign. at that point, we may truly be on pace to be real NFL team with playoff aspirations.

Re: are we not ok with just going with Brohm

We didn't actually trade for him, just signed him off the Packers practice squad.

I believe either Nix or Gailey said previously that they're fine going into the season with Brohm as the starter (could be wrong on that). If they did say that, it could easily have been GM/coach speak but I think depending on what players fall to them during the draft, they might end up with Brohm as the starter.

NO. For a multitude of reasons which have been rehashed endlessly and which have never been fully explained by anybody who likes him.

The guy is not likely to beat out Ryan Fitzpatrick, let alone start for an NFL team. Not one person should be surprised in the least when he gets cut...again.

Re: are we not ok with just going with Brohm

none of our qb's were Gailey's boys. They'll get their chance to compete though .

Re: are we not ok with just going with Brohm

One of the reasons why I beleive we won't go with a QB in this draft.

We will sign the vet stop gap to compete and help groom, and dump Fitz...

but more then likely we will be drafting top 1/2 in 2011, and like a broken record I will say lets make the big move in 2011 for the franchise arm

You'll know the answer come Saturday. I wouldn't mind seeing Brohm get a fair shot.

I wouldn't touch McCoy or Clausen.

Re: are we not ok with just going with Brohm

I'm OK with Brohm, Edwards and Fitz being our only QB's immediately after the draft. I'd still be looking for a vet between then and training camp though.

Re: are we not ok with just going with Brohm

I like Brohm and the skill set he brings. I don't think it's enough though. I am honestly hoping we add a vet QB, draft a QB today, and release both Edwards and Fitz.

This team is not releasing Edwards, and my money is on Gailey feeling he can get more out of him in his O.


I see no reason at all to draft a QB in this draft. Nothing looks any better then what we already have IMO, just projects.

I agree with signing a Vet and showing Fitz the door, Fitz has peaked, and plateaued.

A solid Vet Edwards and Brohm would make a for a decent competition in 2010..

and next years QB's will be deeper

I'd take Fitz away and see what Cortez can do with both Brohm and Trent.

Re: are we not ok with just going with Brohm

I wouldn't be surprised to see no QB picked (until late at least) and Campbell added this weekend.

Ha. Fitz had peaked and Edwards has room to grow? Fitz is only 1 year older than Trent and has shown wayyy more than Trent has. What makes you think Edwards has more skills than Fitz. Fitz can actually throw the ball beyond the first down marker. Fitz knows how to make a check at the LoS when his playmakers are 1 on 1.

Re: are we not ok with just going with Brohm

I dont think we draft a QB, if we do watch out for Armanti Edwards from App state

I watched Fitz. Don't see much more coming from him

Edwards has shown streaks of being very good, but the abuse he has endured behind the Bills OL has stunned him... Edwards also has a better arm for the out patterns.

I see more potential in Trent then Fitz... Just because Fitz was more willing to throw down field doesn't mean he has more potential. With Fitz I see a guy who is adjusting his game and compensating for his weaknesses. With Trent I see a guy who needs to overcome his weaknesses, which is something that is possible with an O guy like Gailey at the helm IMO.


I just don't see Fitz being much better then he was at the end of last season.


All i know is we need ot add a vet here, and I would be happier with A Vet Edwards and Brohm over a Vet Fitz and Brohm.

Re: are we not ok with just going with Brohm

I am willing to have 3 man QB competition. Best man wins.
