qb project

[BillsWin]

Great pick in the seventh.

[Buffalogic]

There's the 4th qb on the roster.

[Mahdi]

Big, strong arm QB. Good pick.

[WeAreArthurMoates]

He is but I love this pick I wanted him the 5ht with my mock. Extremely quick release, pretty much a thigpen clone.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

strong arm qb project... good pick!

[tampabay25690]

I agree will probably be 3rd guy at FITZ gets cut...

Saw the guy play a few times has great size and a pretty good arm and can move....

[New Ro's Greatest]

I'm feeling this pick! GO BILLS:cheers:

[CoolBreeze]

Over 6000 yds, 38 tds, and 62% completion percentage.. 2 yrs

[BuffaloBlakely14]

Great pick in the seventh.

along with Skelton , the only project QB I wanted. Smart, strong arm and accurate. Questionable competition, but Troy does produce football players. Just maybe.

[JPFBillsFan]

HOLY *****...that's flippen awesome....only guy I wanted outside of Bradford...
Sounds like Brohm and him will compete to kick out TE & Fitz...

[Buddo]

Phew!
At last I can sleep again at nights, knowing we've got a QB in the draft!

[BillsWin]

Projected 4th-5th round. Slipped with the QB class. Everyone was slipping.

Great value in the 7th. Very impressed with this pick.

Nice job getting high lights for the Zone on guys that alot have never seen...

[CoolBreeze]

Todd McShay had him ranked 6th amongst QB's in this draft... JAWS loves the pick. Levi Brown could be the man!!!

[BillsWin]

Jaws thinks he'll compete in Buffalo. I tend to agree. Edwards is garbage and Brohm hasn't proven anything either.

Welcome to Buffalo, Brown the door is wide open for you.

[Forward_Lateral]

I read he has a weak arm. Which is it? He has a strong arm, or a noodle?

[tampabay25690]

I read he has a weak arm. Which is it? He has a strong arm, or a noodle?

Decent arm....
Not a noodle at all and he is very athletic

[mrbojanglezs]

his only strength is his arm, strong arm

[Forward_Lateral]

Yahoo! sucks.

[Dr. Lecter]

his only strength is his arm, strong arm

His release is his biggest strength, not his arm

[NOT THE DUDE...]

This is a great pick. my magazine has him as the 4th best qb in the draft... this is great value....

[Forward_Lateral]

From Yahoo!


National Football Post: The Bills finally get their quarterback. However, Brown isn't a great fit in Buffalo because of his lacking arm strength.

[The Spaz]

Brown is solidly built QB with very good athleticism, which help him to make big plays with his feet and arm. He has a very
compact and quick throwing motion, which enables him to consistently set-up and get rid of the ball very fast. He has a shockingly
strong arm – Can make every NFL throw with very good zip. He shows his arm strength by making 10+ yard throws
without just a flick of the wrist when a pass rusher is bearing down on him so that he cannot step into his throw. He does a good
job of stepping up to avoid the wide rush and has learned the important lesson of throwing the ball away to avoid the sack. When
he puts zip on throws he is a very accurate passer and can hit the 15+ skinny post route right on the money with a defender in
his face. He has consistently shown the ability to step up and make good throws in key situations to convert key downs into 1st
downs or TD’s. He does not force passes or try to squeeze them into tight spots and does not stare down his receiver. His ability
to get rid of the ball very quickly helps him to get the ball to the receiver before the defender can react to make a play on it. - Russ Lande

Welcome to Buffalo, Brown the door is wide open for you.

In all fairness to Brohm he had 1 game. He was only in Buffalo 5 weeks at the time. Although it wasn't an outstanding performance( Again, he had 5 weeks to learn the system and terminology), Brohm showed that he had the best arm among him, Fitz and Edwards. ROME wasn't built in 3 days, neither will be the Buffalo Bills. Whoever the QB is, their goal is not to win the game, rather NOT to loose it.

[tampabay25690]

his only strength is his arm, strong arm

Yes he has zip another strength is getting away from defenders,,,
AThletic kid and Sun Belt player of the Year...

[TonyIncredible]

the video from youtube makes me believe!!! RUDY!!! or in this case LEVI!!! LEVI!!! LEVI!!! lol

[doug45]

Big, strong arm QB. Good pick.


All the experts say he is nowhere near ready to even play in the Pro ranks, but he is what Bufalo likes "Cheap"

[BillsWin]

I've heard him labeled as a bargain bin Phillip Rivers.

I'll take that any day over Pike to be honest.

All we need is for him to compete. We can get our

[wmoz11]

If I'm Gailey, I start the season with Edwards and if he stinks up the joint again, you let Brohm or Brown battle it out the rest of the year to see if either has starter ability of you can catch lightning in a bottle.

If they all suck or are merely average, you draft a QB high in 2011.

[ajsdx]

I've heard him labeled as a bargain bi Phillip Rivers.

I'll take that any day over Pike to be honest.

All we need is for him to compete. We can get our franchise guy next year. Unless by some miracle we got lucky with Brown.

I think Phillip Rivers was already bi... ;)

And Fitz shouldn't be in the NFL...don't forget that.

[BillsWin]

And Fitz shouldn't be in the NFL...don't forget that.

Fitz who? ;)

[Novacane]

strong arm qb project... good pick!


Agree. I bet he does as much or more in the NFL as Tebow does.

[sunshynman]

Ok. I wanted Tebow, then I wanted Skeleton. But looking at the clip and the write ups, OH YEAH!

Big, Strong, Quick Release, Accurate, Mobile, Wore #12. I'm starting to get excited! Let's end him to the CFL for 2 years!

Now all the slang names for the Oline fit. I got wood!

Why had the job to Edwards? Let them all compete in camp. None of them have earned the starters job from the go!

[TacklingDummy]

More upside than Campbell. Good job Bills. :up:

[TigerJ]

Nice music on the You Tube video, Spaz. Does that mean Brown is going to be a great QB?

[SquishDaFish]

Sometimes I really think you smoke crack. Or have some kind of mental condition

[Mahdi]

Thigpen can run, this kid is not much of a runner. Pocket passer.

[TacklingDummy]

Why's that because you think Campbell is upgrade while myself and Mike Shanahan think that he blows? Sorry but I favor Mikes opinion.

[YardRat]

From mystic's link...

Accuracy: Flashes good accuracy down the middle on drag and post routes. Better zipping passes than throwing with touch. Rarely asked to throw traditional long passes in this scheme.

Arm Strength: Plenty of arm strength to make every NFL throw. If Brown struggles to acclimate to the NFL, it won't be due to a lack of arm strength.

Setup/Release: Has a quick over-the-top throwing motion. Doesn't bring the ball all the way back, which shortens his motion and gives him a quick release, but impacts his accuracy. Will need time to develop his footwork.

Reading Defenses: Not asked to make many reads post-snap in this offense. Stares down his primary option, though to his credit he won't force the ball into coverage. Pats the ball when he's checking down and has a tendency to double-clutch.

On the Move: Good mobility to escape pressure and buy more time. Willing to step up into the pocket and take the hit to complete the pass. Has a tendency to get happy feet and struggles relocating his targets once he's dropped his eyes to look at the pass-rush. Struggles with accuracy when throwing on the move. Sprays the ball, typically putting it at the feet of his receiver

Intangibles: Well-liked by fans, teammates and coaches. Voted a 2009 team captain.

[BuffaloBlitz83]

Why's that because you think Campbell is upgrade while myself and Mike Shanahan think that he blows? Sorry but I favor Mikes opinion.

I like having Brohm and Brown. 2 young QB's that have potential. Hopefully one of the two rises!

[The Spaz]

Of course!:up::beers:

I still think we might bring in a vet and Fitz goes

levi ends up on the practice squad IMO

[Michael82]

I love this pick! It's not one of the guys I wanted, but he was rated pretty high. My Sporting News Magazine has him as a 3rd rounder, and compares him to Matt Schaub! :drool: I love the potential in him and am glad we finally got a QB!

If I'm gailey I have a big fat trainging camp competition and the best man wins....

[wmoz11]

If I'm gailey I have a big fat trainging camp competition and the best man wins....

Yeah, I guess I'm just assuming Edwards will win that competition; not to mention that I think he deserves another chance under a competent offensive mind.

[acehole]

The offense the bills are running is fine for him......hand off first and second down and find spiller on third...thats it.

[Typ0]

Nothing against this guy but I'm sick of talking about the potential of the QBs on our team who haven't actually done anything. I'd prefer to have a guy on the roster who has proven he can do something of consequence.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

Not asked to make many reads post-snap in this offense. Stares down his primary option, though to his credit he won't force the ball into coverage.

Oh, great. This guy sounds just like JP Losman if you ask me. I'm just sayin'...

How many 7th round QB picks gone on to win a Super Bowl? In Fact, how many 7th round picks even start? It's a long shot he'll succeed but at least it's more hopeful than wasting 2 years on Campbell.

[Typ0]

I would have rather had Campbell myself. At least he's played well and demonstrated he can compete consistently. I don't hold a lot of weight in Shanny's opinion either the guy is classic grab over the hill veterans and pay them big money and waste the franchise. They didn't need McNabb as bad as we do. Without any production from QB our team is toast again and all we have right now is a bunch of potential bottled up and who knows if it will mean anything. I guess the good news is we'll have the #1 pick in the draft next year.

I still see the Bills bringing in a new vet to compete before camp.

[Prov401]

Brohm's going to be our starter.

[Tatonka]

Thigpen can run, this kid is not much of a runner. Pocket passer.

did you just watch the highlights of this kid? to say his is not mobile or can't run is nuts.. he appears to be VERY mobile.

[Typ0]

I hope so but based on the things I've heard them say I'd question that. Kind of sounds to me they are going to ride with what we have and try and figure out if one of these guys can get it done this year.

[BillsFanCupp38]

Good thing he got some experience running for his life in college... He should fit right in with our Bills! lol

[mercyrule]

If everyone thought he was going to go higher, why didn't he?

[NOT THE DUDE...]

edwards will be our starter and fitz will back up, brown will be our 3rd string....

[BillsMan80]

I'd give Edwards the boot. He's gonna get it anyway after next year. Start Brohm, have Fitz back him up and Brown at 3rd string.

[jamze132]

Screw that. If any QB needs the boot, its Fitzpatrick.

[Dying_-2-_Live]

will be a solid back up.. not expecting a Tom Brady

[YardRat]

If everyone thought he was going to go higher, why didn't he?

He turned down every team that called him in rounds 3 thru 6...that's how badly he wanted to be a Buffalo Bill.

He has a cannon, man I like this guy, don't know if he will start, but he I do think that he and Fitz will immediately become our best QBs, I'm not a fan of Edwards or Brohm, both suck if you ask me, Fitz & Brown all the way.

[BoyILuvLoznStupidly]

His stats look ok, but if you look at week two against Florida he was 8-24 for 66 yards and 1 int.

Fitz is the odd duck out in IMO. Brohm will be on the roster for at least 1 more year

Good to hear, because he's going to need that "when the gales of November come early."

[mercyrule]

[Dr. Lecter]

If everyone thought he was going to go higher, why didn't he?

Maybe the small school thing?

I also suspect the fact that he has not taken a snap from under center in two years (always in the shotgun) scared teams away.

He also did not get a full workout at the combine; he was only there to throw the ball and did not work out fully.

All of those together can make a guy fall.

[ddaryl]

SO anyone else singing Jim Croce's "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" , but changing the lyrics to Levi Brown


NO ? Just me.... OK

[acehole]

qb project

Great where we drafted him.

I like his low Int's to TD ratio and yards...

I don't like the running around he does to make a play...flashes of JP.

Would love to see his wonderlick...

Will make team.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

camp fodder nothing more. just need more arms in camp to save edwards tired useless arm for the regular season as he struggles to get the ball down field 11 yards
