So when are we going to play Brohm?
I 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.

Originally posted by X-EraI can't bring myself to say we should play Brohm. Fitz has earned the right to start and probably has earned the right to try and show us he can be the answer. If Fitz can show me he can beat the Pats and/or Jets he probably will have the Bills thinking we are all set at QB.

Re: So when are we going to play Brohm?
I sensed the sarcasm....and it stops here for me.
Fitz will never be a Payton Manning or a Tom Brady like player, but he has big brass balls and a hell of a lot of heart. Never gives up and plays like each game is his last. Who gives a **** if he throws the occasional INT? He takes the chances that this Bills team haven't seen taken in quite some time. I welcome this change on offense and think that it's slowly bleeding over into the defense.

Re: So when are we going to play Brohm?
I've been wrestling with this week to week. The guy is 28 years old and proves to us each week that he can be a damn good starter in this league. My biggest question is, will he be the guy to take down a team like the Steelers or Patritos? I don't know the answer to that yet. But, you can't disregard what this guy has come in an done...it's actually quite remarkable considering he wasn't even the starter when the season began.
Think about this for a second...here are the top QB #'s in the league thus far:
Drew Brees 22TD 14INT
Eli Manning 21TD 16INT
Peyton Manning 20TD 7INT
Tom Brady 19TD 4INT
Fitzpatrick 18TD 9INT
And this is with only playing in 10 games, instead of 12 like the other guys. Those teams are also much more talented than us, so you have to take that into account as well. Right now, I say the Bills should draft Andrew Luck if he is there at their pick (wherever it will be) and if not, take the best available player. Draft a QB in Round 2 and let him develop and compete with Fitz and Brohm next season.

I looked at the stats too and he really didn;t stand out. Even in stats where the games played would be normalized like yds/g or compl%, he's not top 10. He is top 10 in att/g which may tell us he tries to throw it a lot but isn't getting top 10 completions or yards out of it. It didn't extrapolate out what his numbers would be for a whole year... any idea what it might look like?
I think the Bills will be thinking about QB in the next draft, it may not be Luck, but they may be looking at others.
