    Jerry Sullivan, "Why not give Brohm a shot with the starters?"

    Brian Brohm got into the act, throwing a gorgeous sideline pass to Chad Jackson that led to a field goal and a 24-21 lead at halftime. Here's an idea: If there really is an "open" competition at quarterback, why not give Brohm a chance to play with the starters in a preseason game? Or has Edwards sewed up the job with one long TD pass to Evans?
    My opinion? Well as Dr. Lecter, SAB and a few others have pointed out, I'm a Brohm supporter. But, I'm against this. As much as I would love to see what he could do, Edwards showed improvement from preseason game one to tonight. So, I think he earned another start. The third preseason game is the starters' last tuneup. You don't throw off team continuity when they are improving as a unit. If Edwards had come out and laid an egg, yes I'd say Brohm deserves a shot. However, Edwards held off the competition. I think, if anything, Brohm playing with the second team tonight might have proved to be motivation for Trent to take some downfield shots. (That or having three of your o-line starters in there...)

    But absolutely, I would play Brohm with the second team.

    At this point, it's Edwards' job. That being said, there is absolutely no good reason that Brohm should not be the 2nd string QB on this roster this year. I'm done with the useless, upside-less, zero potential...Fitz. The roster should look like this:

    Edwards
    Brohm
    Brown

    PERIOD!

      I agree Nighthawk. But, just don't mention it to HH.

        Oh, I have been and will continue to do so...his arguement that going with the veteran backup on a rebuilding team, makes no sense.

          Edwards played well enough tonight. I'm just going to let HH have his little moment.

            Outside of the drive with Spiller's TD, and Lee beating everyone by a mile, the first unit had a lot of short drives. I think people are getting wrapped up in the long TD because they only saw two 40+ yd pass attempts from Trent last season.

              Why not give both Edwards and Brohm reps with the starting unit in the next game?

                A stat that isn't mentioned. Brohm's first drive went for a methodical 13 plays and 63 yards. Despite ugly snaps.

                Honestly, that center sucks.

                  Gailey said he would consider it

                    If Gailey was impressed with Brohm tonight, he'll start getting a few snaps with the first team offense in practice. At this point I doubt it will happen in one of the 2 remaining games.

                      Where did he say that? I've been waiting for bb.com to put up the postgame interview.

                            and his ball is out on time. unlike other qbs we have seen here in last 10 years and that includes JP and bledsoe and flutie.

                            the slant back in our offense amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              i know i give you crap about Brohm but i have to agree with Sully. one good game doesn't sew up the starting job for Edwards. (that's my opinion) like Sully, i haven't seen an open competition at QB. when is this going to happen?
