In a couple of weeks Buffalo’s open quarterback competition will begin in earnest. With OTAs set to get underway a week from Tuesday, the three veteran signal callers along with rookie Levi Brown will begin the process of trying to prove they deserve to be the starting quarterback for the 2010 Bills. One of the three returning quarterbacks from last season however, will be getting a head start this weekend.

Re: Brohm to get first crack
Nice to see a player take advantage of a voluntary opportunity. I hope he makes the best of it.
Nice comment here...

Re: Brohm to get first crack
I am with NIx on this. Neither Claussen nor MCCoy were projected to be the next Peyton anyways. Don't even think Stafford would be taking the job easily from Trent.Buffalo took Brown in round seven, but GM Buddy Nix also explained that the organization felt their three returning quarterbacks could do everything physically that the prospects in the draft could do.
I hope Maybin shows up since he's on his 2nd year.Last edited by justasportsfan; 05-06-2010, 07:38 AM.Comment

Re: Brohm to get first crack
May be old news to some of you, but I just watched this video, and it proves how much of last year could easily be defined as a cluster xxxx. Inexperienced coaching mixed with a coaching shortage and young or new players equates to nothing but disaster.

Re: Brohm to get first crack
Trentative is probably worried, since the playbook is void of instant checkdowns.
Brohm and Brown will actually attempt to progress through 2-3 reads, something Trentative gave up on after the 2008 Cardinals game.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for witComment

Re: Brohm to get first crack
Gailey will insist his QB goes through his progressions. That's one thing he's always done, he'd rather you force the ball down the field to your #1 then just check it down all the time.Originally posted by Night TrainCOMING SOON...

Re: Brohm to get first crack
I like that we may have already seen progression from Brohm. The knock on him in GB was that was not focused enough to even learn the playbook his rookie year. Brohm, himself has even gone as far as admitting his early struggles and greatly improved going into his second season. Unfortunately it wasn't enough as GB only kept 2 QB's on their roster but he has seemed even more focused since coming to Buffalo.
I too think Gailey favors him and I really believe he's going to be given every opportunity to win this job.Comment

IMO, whoever can get the ball to Lee when the oppurtunity is there will get the job.Originally posted by madness

Re: Brohm to get first crack
I've thought many times about Brohm's situation and lack of development in Green Bay. One of the thoughts that keeps coming up is that it must have been extremely difficult to go from a highly-touted prospect to being drafted for strictly backup purposes. He and Flynn basically had zero chance to compete for a starting spot. I would have to imagine that part of Brohm's struggles stemmed from the fact that he knew he was drafted to be a backup and nothing more. Doesn't seem to put him in a position to be very motivated.Originally posted by madness
That being said, he still has a long way to go and I seriously doubt that he can ever become a legitimate starter. I'd love to see him prove me wrong. Despite his poor stats in the Atlanta game, I did see a few things I liked from him (the middle-of-the-field Evans comeback route was a good play).
I'll be interested to see how he does this year with a legit shot to compete for the starting spot."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: Brohm to get first crack
I'm pretty sure Gailey and his staff know that Brown is nowhere near ready to start. They specifically said that they were looking for a QB they could develop themselves.Originally posted by justasportsfan"Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: Brohm to get first crack
When Brohm was drafted Aaron Rodgers had only attempted fewer than 60 passes in his career, so you could argue that it was not a foregone conclusion that he could not compete for the starting job. Certaintly Rodgers had been groomed to take over, but I imagine the Green Bay coaches were willing to consider all options, and probably took Brohm with such a high pick as a safety net at the very least.Originally posted by psubills62
Flynn did not come into the picture until Brohm's second season, so he argueably had no shot at the top job but did not let that stop him from winning the backup role.Comment
