Levi Brown pissed. Didn't get a practice squad invite.

NEVER woulda guessed id be in this position right now...not even a practice squad invite. i've now officially gone from surprised to pissed!

:wtf: But, I thought we were scared he'd be signed by another team? Not even an invite?

Ouch.

[Dr. Lecter]

Like I had been saying, it is hard to get 4 guys practice time during the regular season. This is not a surprise.

[Mr. Pink]

Him and Jevan Snead can go golfing together since they'll have nothing better to do.

[Michael82]

Wow! And to think lots of people thought the Bills were going to keep him as a #3...and he didnt't even get a PS invite. lol

[ServoBillieves]

Him and Jevan Snead can go golfing together since they'll have nothing better to do.

Don't forget Dan LeFavour as their 3rd. Maybe JP can fill our their 4some.

[Dr. Lecter]

The Bengals claimed LeFevour. So he is busy.

[Mad Max]

JP can caddy. Golf's a bit too cerebral for him. Bogeys and birdies and eagles, oh my!

levi was strung along a little bit based on interview clips i read and heard. but those were said before that dud of a game in detroit.

I don't know, every time Chan talked about the pecking order he said our THREE QB's. He NEVER brought Brown into that equation. That should have given Brown a clue where he stood.

[Beebe's Kid]

Well, at least he got a custom Continental, he got an Eldorado too, he got a .32 gun in his pocket for fun, he got razor in his shoe. Also, don't let us forget that all those downtown ladies call him "treetop lover," and all the men just call him "sir."

Who are you talking about? Brown or Lynch?

He's bad, bad.............

[BertSquirtgum]

i still think they should put the guy on the p-squad

[Buddo]

It's tough. I think they genuinely 'like' Brown, but for the needs of the team, cannot see fit to put him on the PS. If Bell has been picked up by the Bucs, he may get lucky, but I think Nix etc. are looking to have guys they might need on the PS in case of injury this year, as we don't really have much depth in a couple of areas.

In another year or two, we can hope to see the PS with pretty much all of them being development guys, but atm, I think we need it as something to try and find guys who will give us depth.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

So not only does he share J.P. Losman's skills, he shares his immaturity too.

Adios, Mr. Brown, and don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you.

[TheGhostofJimKelly]

It is always a good thing to have a quarterback on the practice squad (of course IMO) and to try to develop him there. I don't know if Brown would be that guy, but find one of these cuts you liked in the draft and get him in here and develop him.

[Buffalogic]

I'm pretty shocked and he deserves to be pissed. Not even ps? That's pretty wack if you ask me.

[BidsJr]

I'm pretty shocked and he deserves to be pissed. Not even ps? That's pretty wack if you ask me.


Really? If he hasn't earned it he shouldn't get it.

What are you talking about? JP was always professional & when the Bills let him go he was humorous about it. Asked about buying a house in Buffalo, he said oops.

[TacklingDummy]

I'd rather have Brown on the roster than that bum Fitz.

[Jan Reimers]

Levi really must have fallen out of favor late in the preseason. Apparently he is viewed as no longer having much of a future at this point.

[tampabay25690]

i still think they should put the guy on the p-squad

WHY????????
Is he the future of this team is what you need to ask yourself???

Why waste a PS for a QB that will probably only carry a clipboard the rest of his life.
We have to look towrds the future and we know the QB situation on this team may not be the future.....

[tampabay25690]

I'd rather have Brown on the roster than that bum Fitz.

Can Brown step in and start a game in the reg season???
FITZ can, I agree Fitz is a bumb but as of right now he is on this team...

[Johnny Bugmenot]

What are you talking about? JP was always professional & when the Bills let him go he was humorous about it. Asked about buying a house in Buffalo, he said oops.
Maybe by the end of his career he grew up but there were numerous reports of him going out, partying and getting drunk on Saturday nights, meaning he played more than a few games on a hangover.

[Dr. Lecter]

I'd rather have Brown on the roster than that bum Fitz.
Why?

Fitz has shown he is an adequate back-up and did an OK job last year?

The hate some people have for Fitz is amusing.

Fitz is average and will always be average

we have been an average to below average team for 10+ years

we want someone who might be more then just average because we are sick of it

is brown better then fitz. NO! could he be Yes!

thats why lecter...no hate on fitz he is what he is and thats a stop gap

[Historian]

I hate Fitz, but I gotta admit, he played well against 2nd stringers in the preseason....better than Brohm, who looked okay at times while playing against 2nd and 3rd stringers.

Meh.

Let's all just pray Edwards stays healthy.

Fitz is a fine fit as #2 and could help a rookie next year.

It is fine to fill a team up with guys that might be good. But at some point teams need players like Fitz, even teams in transition, to help the young players.

No question this has been bad team. I like Brown too - he has talent. But I am not sure that getting rid of Fitz is a good idea.

And I don't think that was TDs point.

[Night Train]

I had hopes for Brown but I trust these coaches to pick from the pool of players they have to work with.

If he's not talented enough to be even a 3rd stringer, then he's not helping the team.

In fairness, Brown was a 7th round pick. Not exactly a lock.

[Lone Stranger]

Quite a surprising outcome. All indications were that the Bills liked him a lot. I believe it must have become a choice between Brown and Brohm. Since Brohm is pretty young he could qualify as our development QB.

There just isn't enough practice time for two development QBs.

:goodpost:

That is what happened and now brown is pissed o well should have played better, and not take it for granted that he was gonna get a roster spot

[Buffalogic]

It is called real life.Said some no talent bum posting on a message board...

Don't be mad at the guy just because you got picked last for every sports team throughout your miserable existence. Now that's real life.

I guess the practice squad is some glorious beacon and only the best scrubs can make it. If you can't see the guy making your PS then don't draft a qb in the 7th round.

[Nighthawk]

Like I had been saying, it is hard to get 4 guys practice time during the regular season. This is not a surprise.

That has nothing to do with it. They are either looking at another QB who got cut or they don't think Brown is any better of a project QB then Brohm.

[Nighthawk]

Why?

Fitz has shown he is an adequate back-up and did an OK job last year?

The hate some people have for Fitz is amusing.

Yeah, the throws into the ground every other throw are AWESOME! The guy blows and he is not even a good backup...that talk is laughable.

[Buffalogic]

That has nothing to do with it. They are either looking at another QB who got cut or they don't think Brown is any better of a project QB then Brohm.Wow thanks for letting us know exactly what happened Gailey!

LeviBrown10 Crap! My first twitter mistake...i shoulda seen that 1
coming. But sorry 2 those who took that the wrong way.


I have absolutely no doubt he's a good kid. I actually believe he could become a good QB, too. Wrong time, wrong place. CG likes him but they don't want a QB on the practice squad (yet?).

Oh, did I say that I thinnk he's a good kid?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1eE7FF3AYA

[JCBills]

He wasn't declared All-Pro and put on the HOF ballot?

[HHURRICANE]

Brown was terrible. He threw behind, over, under, and everywhere the receiver wasn't.

The TD pass that got called back, that he was whinning about, was underthrown and should have been a pick.

The guy showed absolutely nothing in camp or pre-season.

He was a 7th rounder for a reason.

[TacklingDummy]

Can Brown step in and start a game in the reg season???
FITZ can, I agree Fitz is a bumb but as of right now he is on this team...
If Fitz is stepping in it probably will mean the Bills stink once again. Why not give someone else a chance? Fitz isn't going to turn this franchise around.

[TacklingDummy]

Why?

Fitz has shown he is an adequate back-up and did an OK job last year?

The hate some people have for Fitz is amusing.
Fitz would be fine if the Bills had a Manning as the starter. The problem is the Bills QB situation as of right now blows. I just can't see going from one scrub to another proven scrub. Let some other scrub get a shot.

[trapezeus]

at the end, you had to think, "if and when edwards is hurt, and fitz gets run over (this happened in one game last year, who do you want to come in?"

as this point, even though i don't think brohm has anything more than backup status at best in this league, i'd rather have him take the field than brown. And after the 102 yard INT return, i felt like he went the wrong way. now mind you i didn't get to see all the preseason snaps

[BertSquirtgum]

You do a good job of repeating everything I say. Who has the intelligence problem? It's got to be that bell curve kicking in oldy olson..

[Ebenezer]

After four years of watching DJ and his JV offense we have no clue what real talent any of the QBs on the roster have. To say that Brown should be there instead of Fitz is without merit. Brown didn't look good and there is some proof in the pudding since he hasn't gotten a sniff of a PS. While Fitz may not be able to turn this team around are we really worried about that? The "current" future of this team is TE. Why put a guy on the active roster that has no dynamic future without intense training. The "investment" into Brown would have been substantial. If TE can't cut it then the future QB will be addressed in the offseason. Better to go with TE until he gets injured and see if he even has a chance. The team will lose this year - better to lose with TE or Fitz and look like an NFL offense than to lose and look like the second coming of Joe Dufek. Anybody thinking that Brown should be on the active roster should rethink.

[Dr. Lecter]

How did the Bills go 5-4 with him starting last year? The defense led by Perry Fewell?

As I said before, every time Chan talked about the pecking order he said "The THREE QB's", yes he should have seen it coming as far as getting cut goes.

[EricStratton]

Brown is 23, Brohm is 24. The two have 1 year and a half separating them and Brohm has the big college pedigree and a couple years holding a clipboard in the NFL.

In a contest between the two it's not hard to see how the Bills came up with who to keep.

[topher180]

I can't believe people argue about who the 3rd string QB is or isn't. You are the same people who wanted Gibran Hamdan to start. Unreal.

[Extremebillsfan247]

:wtf: But, I thought we were scared he'd be signed by another team? Not even an invite?

Ouch.Nix clearly stated on more than one occasion that this team would only keep 3 QBs. So this shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone including Brown. JMO

[TacklingDummy]

Trent could be the future, we already know Fitz is not. That's why they shouldn't have kept him.

[Ebenezer]

Trent could be the future, we already know Fitz is not. That's why they shouldn't have kept him.
Truthfully, do you remember the 84/85 teams?? They were an absolute disgrace - starting right at the QB position. Brown needs way more seasoning than the top picks in next year's draft will need. Just because Fitz isn't the future is no reason to keep Brown.

[better days]

Trent could be the future, we already know Fitz is not. That's why they shouldn't have kept him.

If Trent has a GREAT year, I would not mind seeing him signed to a contract similar to Orton's.

Fitz is a good friend of Trent's, & will help keep Trent focused during the game. I think that is the reason they kept Fitz. He is smart & a decent back up. I could see him being a good coach in the future.

Stop, just stop...you act like HE won those games. If I recall correctly, most of the wins were directly the results of the interceptions that we produced.

Just because Fitz isn't the future is no reason to keep Brown. The following statement may be a little off base, but may add more weight to your response here.
Normally, 7th rounders rarely ever make a team. We have gotten so use to keeping all our draftees under Jauron that keeping at least one of our 7th's this year seemed like a no brainer to most.
Being that one of Our selections was a QB picked by the new HC, and GM, coupled with the struggles at QB that we were all aware of from last year, I think it only heightened the thought of possibility that Brown would end up the project on a Chan Gailey run team.
After all, he was Chans first draft selection at that position. I think that subconsciously most of us are still stuck in the Jauron phase of seeing how things are done. That may not dissipate until this coming season is about half over and we all come to realize visually that this is a different coach altogether. JMO...

Hey this might come as a shocker to you but the coaching staff is trying to win games. If Brown has to get called upon, like Brohm had to last year, we might as well not even show up. That's how bad his pre-season was.

The guy didn't get a PS invite for a reason. He's not good.

As for Fitz, he's better than Brohm. So based on the same premise that the coaching staff wants to win games, and not develop players that zoners like, Fitz is number 2 so we can win games in case Edwards goes down.

One more revelation. If Edwards stinks this year, Brohm is not the answer next year.

[BuffaloBlitz83]

Why are we talking about Levi Freaking Brown

[psubills62]

How did the Bills go 5-4 with him starting last year? The defense led by Perry Fewell?

The facts disagree with you.

The facts disagree with you. Fitzpatrick started 8 games.

http://www.nfl.com/players/ryanfitzpatrick/profile?id=FIT792915

And actually, if you had read my responses any of the 25 times I've responded to this, there's a DIRECT correlation between our turnover margin and the games we won. The only game we won where we didn't have at least a +2 turnover margin was when Edwards was the starter.

[better days]

Why are we talking about Levi Freaking Brown

Well, we still have five days until the 1st game is played.

The part that you guys are missing is that Fitz is not going to produce or be the reason for winning...never has, never will be.

[YardRat]

He's a competitor...he should be pissed. I haven't seen any 'details' posted anywhere, but maybe he's pissed at himself for blowing a shot at an NFL roster. If he wants it bad enough, he'll work hard to get back.

IMO, outside of Brown basically sucking balls in the little action he saw, the justification for keeping both Fitz and Brohm may be more of an indication toward what the direction they are willing to head next year. Face it...if Edwards regresses, he's not getting a contract extension. By keeping both guys, not only have you kept the three best players at the position for this season, but you've avoided a situation next year where you'd be looking at Fitz or Brohm / a raw Brown / and another rookie pick on your roster.

[Dr. Lecter]

The part that you guys are missing is that Fitz is not going to produce or be the reason for winning...never has, never will be.
So what was the reason for the team having a winning record with him at QB last year?

[Ebenezer]

The part that you guys are missing is that Fitz is not going to produce or be the reason for winning...never has, never will be.
So keep Brown over Fitz because Fitz isn't the future?? Knowing RW he has laid down an ultimatum..."win X amount of games", "don't embarrass me, the franchise or the city", "show that TE has what it takes or at least keep the games close"...any one of those would make a coach keep Fitz over Brown.

Random yes....but the fact that Brown hasn't even gotten a call about practice squads speaks volumes. The guys who know and judge talent for a living aren't giving this guy a sniff yet the random Bills fan on BZ who has never played a down past the junior high level thinks Brown should have been kept and Fitz waived.

Wow I'm no mod but IMO this qualifies as a personal attack. As an aside, why all the anger Wagon? You enjoy having strong takes on things, which is fine, others can have a take too. I haven't noticed despite your confidence that your posts are filled with great wisdom. Brohm is still a Bill for example. Have a great day!

[justasportsfan]

As much as I thought Brown had an arm and could be developed, it could mean that the coaches thought Brohm is our developmental qb and I don't have a problem with that. He already looks just as good as Fitz and Brown didnt.
