Kelly Holcomb

[vski]

I just heard a clip off ESPN, it seems that Kelly Holcomb wants to compete for the starting job.

We might have a QB controversy afterall.

I'm not surprised.

I'm not surprised.

He does say that it is JP's team "Going into camp", so he knows hes going in as #2, but still.


Hey...I got some zone bucks!

[The Spaz]

If that's what he said then he totally contradicts what he said and the Bills organization have said.

[Slim]

EVERY QB regardless of what they are on the depth chart is going to attempt and compete for the starting job

Congrats, here's a measly rep point

That can only help JP. Don't forget what he said " I would have prefered to win the job outright" well now he can. You need to have competition at every position, it sharpens your skills and helps you to cut down on your mistakes. I'm all for Kelly H feeling that way.

^^ Well said.

Exactly! IT will not create a problem. IT will be a healthy battle. It is well known that JP has more potential with his athletic abilities, but it will be good for him to stay on his toes. Nothing to worry about guys!

I'd respect Holcomb less if he didn't want to start. What QB doesn't? It means he'll play his ass off in preseason and practice, and that's what you want your backups to do.

It also means that if JP steps under center on opening day, it'll be because he earned it.

i just listened to the interview.. KH specifically said, when questioned about if he thinks he could start "man.. i dont even want to talk about that.. i got alot of things to do, like learn the play book, ect.."

it wont ever be a problem.. he will push jp and hopefully make jp better.

[unpaid_bills]

would you rather have a guy that is happy being a backup. Nothing wrong with a little comp at QB - afterall JP has just potential he has proven nothing.

Clean competition, that's all it is.
