I'm not a huge Edwards fan, or a huge Fitz fan, and I wanted Brohm to be the answer just as much as everyone else. The fact is, Brohm sucks. He's shown nothing to prove to anyone that he's an NFL caliber QB. Get over it. He didn't get hosed, or a raw deal. If he had played better, maybe he'd have gotten more reps in game situations.
Brohm sucks, deal with it

Re: Brohm sucks, deal with it
I like this thread. 5 starsI remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Brohm sucks, deal with it
Brohm is what he is- it was a low risk pickup with a small chance of a big reward, sort of like a lottery ticket. Chances are you're not going to get anything out of it, but it's cheap so, hey, why not?
Well, just like playing the lottery, the reward didn't pan out. Oh well- time to move on. I don't blame the organization for trying- in fact, I think it was well worth the risk. But, clearly he's not the answer.
I honestly don't care if they cut him though. Part of me would rather see them try to develop Brown, but I also realize that Brohm is more ready than Brown at the moment, and with our craptacular OL, it's not inconceivable that our 3rd string QB sees playing time this year.

Re: Brohm sucks, deal with it
I disagree. When considering the talent level he played his minutes with, he looked ok to me. He did everything asked of him. I would keep him over Fitz.
I believe Fitz had more third game time because he was on the bubble.Still searching for that offensive rhythm.

No the argument isn't based on last night. It's based on 3 years of doing nothing. The coaching staff this year invested alot of time into this guys and he couldn't make it to the #2 spot.
He didn't get hosed he just didn't do anything in camp to earn a spot.
I'll bet you Joquie Bell would have looked better running with the number 1 offense as well. Does that mean given the opportunity that he would have been better than Spiller?
I don't understand the logic around here.

There was a tiny chance that this guy could be the franchise QB. Clearly, no one else on the roster is a franchise QB, so people invested a lot of hope in Brohm because, well, they had no other options.
Unfortunately, some people can't separate hope from expectations, and they actually expected him to do something despite the small odds.
