I agree, the Packers viewed a 7th round pick (Mayy Flynn) in that same 2008 draft as a more viable option for the 2nd team QB spot which damages Brohm's credibility (he admittedly struggled mightily in his first training camp). However, Green Bay only carried 2 QBs on their roster for awhile due to injuries at other positions, and Brohm was actually on the practice squad. They offered to add him to the active roster as the 3rd QB when the Bills came calling last year. This has all been said before, and all it means is that to this point his career has been disappointing since he was highly regarded at Lousiville from 2007-08. He's got one final shot this year to prove it, I think.

I can't believe this simple fact has been so elusive for so many. Is it not obvious they cannot show their hand? What value is there for NFL teams in revealing details in any roster moves before the fact anyhow?

Yeah, his stock shot way down after he struggled his senior year. The Lousiville D was awful and he forced a lot of throws which scared off the "experts". It's strange how he and Jake Locker were criticized for not coming out early (subsequently watching their draft positions drop dramatically) while Jevon Snead's pro career is essentially caput because he came out early. There's no way to really know other than getting these guys on the field in live NFL action. I don't think anyone can say what Brohm is one way or another, yet, but his potential was viewed as high as anyone over the past several years. Hopefully we'll find out.

Wow.

I think what he's referring to is that Brian Brohm, at one point, was projected as the first overall pick for the 2007 draft, although he did not come out. Right now, Luck is not the consensus 1st overall pick (although he very well may be when he declares). What he's saying is not exactly correct but the idea that Brohm was a hyped prospect while in college is true enough and adds some credence that it's a worthwhile notion to see what he can do on the field.

I'm definitely interested in seeing Brohm get a few consecutive starts under his belt--- it's not crazy to think he might actually be, you know, good and all. But, what's funny is that although he was projected to be the best QB coming out in 2007 (had he done so), in retrospect it's not saying a whole lot when looking at the rest of the '07 class: Jamarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, Kevin Kolb, John Beck, Trent Edwards... what a weird year for QBs. Still, bring on Brohm, already.

It's always darkest when your head is so firmly up your ass.

Then why does Talley care? He wasn't drafted by Bill Polian

I thought it was announced last year that Thurman was brought into the organization as an entry level scout. He appeared during press conferences at OBD in some kind of official capacity around the time Nix and Gailey were hired.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... don't you know who he's friends with???? You should "get a clue" and stop living in "fantasy land".

I noticed Ayodele get lit up once or twice. That's too bad about Torbor--- I no longer have any idea who is even merely adequate on our defense. Hopefully, Wood's struggles this year are due strictly to his injury recovery.

What is he even doing--- double covering the tight end in the flat with Byrd on a running play? I'm sorry you actually went to NFL.com to subject yourself to these "highlights".

Anybody remember when Thurman said the Bills "kicked Miami's a**" in 1990? And that video clip found it's way to ESPN, not just some scrub's twitter, not to mention the Dolphins were pretty good. But it's par for the course when a good team beats a piece of crap.

No--- it took me two minutes to read it and type it.

Yes.

So, you're saying the Eagles got the better end of the Peters trade?

Marshawn may elect to stay in Buffalo with what's coming back.

Interesting--- I hope the Bills scouting department aren't relying on YouTube---- although the last few 1st rounders sort of indicate that they might be!

It would give the announcing crews something to talk about when the games get out of hand in the 4th quarter... or the 2nd... or pregame... or whatever.

I agree, for the most part--- I figure a lot of posters follow college football, though, so I consider it an off-topic topic rather than a 100% draft issue.

On offense? Mike Bell had 3 carries but I didn't see Joique get in.

Matt Ryan is exactly who he reminded me of---- I gotta say, I'm more inclined at this point to take Carimi in the 1st round and go for Stanzi later on... of course, come draft time, his stock may shoot up.

This is classic. He's putting in a much stronger effort at entertaining Bills' fans than the Bills did yesterday.

I think his comments actually take the class and integrity of Jets' fans up a notch or two.

FWIW, Thurman Thomas speculated it could have related to criticisms he levied on Braylon Edwards via Twitter--- although, even Thurman said this would be really weak on their part. Several NFL players follow him, so maybe it's possible. There was definitely no smack coming out of OBD.
