Great find, interesting read. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, you get it Thoner...because you agree with him. Yeah, I'm sure Ralph's willing to let the franchise crumble rather than let a third rounder go down in flames. Your logic is flawless.

+1

Troy Smith was a fifth round pick, not a third rounder. And why on earth would you give up a third rounder for a guy who is about to be cut?? And where is this "quality NFL experience"?? He has two career starts. People might take you more seriously if you knew what you were talking about. They also might take you more seriously if you didn't spell your name with rOtAtInG CaPs.

Not at all. Read his other posts and you will understand. I'm not a Trent Edwards fan. I'm a Buffalo Bills fan, true and true. If he gives us the best chance to win then I want him in the game. He's shown glimpses, albeit few and far between lately. My guess is that he starts the season, and we'll know pretty quickly what we've got. I still see us taking a quarterback early in next year's draft barring an entirely unexpected breakout from one of our QB's.

...are both busts. Next.

You give it up. You offer nothing to this board of any value, and we're all dumber for reading your responses. You offer nothing resembling a coherent argument, just blind hatred of a player on the team you're supposedly a fan of. If you're anything in real life like you are here, if you dropped dead tomorrow I'm not sure anyone would attend your funeral. It's an honest comparison to make, and the OP wasn't making the leap to say Edwards would follow the path Brees took, just making the same comment so many have made that some QB's don't flourish until year four. FWIW, Eli didn't hit 60% completion until year five, and prior to winning the super bowl at the end of his fourth season there was talk of him being a bust in the middle of the season. Generally I'm against anyone being banned. It's a forum for people to speak their minds, and barring severely egregious repeated comments I don't think anyone should be prohibited from participating. But you need to go. You are King Douchebag.

You've obviously done your homework on this prospect...

Ingle Martin, Craig Nall, Kyle Wachholtz, Jay Barker, Ty Detmer, Anthony Dilweg, and Jeff Graham all say hi. Green Bay may have hit with a fair number of QB's over the years, but they've missed just as many as they've hit with. FWIW, Matt Flynn doesn't look all that good right now either. Plus, since Holmgren left in 1998 they really haven't hit on any except for Rodgers. Please, they knew what they were doing by placing a highly-touted QB on the practice squad. It was a matter of time before he got plucked on reputation alone. I'm all for rooting for whomever gets the nod, but this Brohm 'fever' is bordering on pathetic.

WTF are you talking about? The average ticket price for the Yankees is $72.97 versus a national average of $26.74. That's not the kind of owner I want.

What a ridiculous comment. Have you seen his other posts??

This is all a little too pro-Brohm for me, especially considering his failures in the league to date. It's not like he's been injured an unable to play thus far; he's been unable to get on the field because of performance issues. He says he has confidence now...so we take him at his word that all of a sudden his confidence is fully renewed? Slow down. He's been an absolute mess in the pre-season games and the single regular season game he's played in (and don't give me that crap about pre-season being meaningless - it's more meaningful than college since at least in pre-season he's playing against NFL talent and not in some gimmicky spread offense against the lowly Big East). Brohm has not shown that he has a stronger arm. He has not shown he is more willing to stretch the field. He does not necessarily give us a better chance to win. You are correct that it is your opinion and of course you are entitled to it, but if that's the case you shouldn't be stating it as absolute truth. I think it's all irrelevant as I'm starting to strongly believe that our QB of the future is not currently on our roster.

I don't know who the hell Michael Matthews is, but I can guarantee that, barring injury, he will not be our starting tight end this season.

Really, what would you expect him to say? "You know, I'm doing alright, but let Trent or Ryan start the season, when I'm feeling a little better I'll let you know..." Such as?

You literally add no value to this board whatsoever.

So let me get this straight: you were bored enough to put together a completely arbitrary and uninteresting roster for us all to read, but you ran out of time to format it so it wasn't like reading a Magic Eye? And you're keeping four quarterbacks, and seven WR's? Seriously? And why are Moats and Calloway listed twice?

Except that's exactly what you were doing. And I'm perfectly calm, although I appreciate your concern.

Whatever you say 'dude.' I guess Chan just threw in the "we'll have to see how he progresses once we get pads on and all that" just to throw the rest of us off. You managed to turn "he's made a jump" to "he's has shown a lot of growth." You can say whatever you want, it's a free country, but intentionally or not, you're implying he's come a lot farther than CG's comment implied, and you're obviously basing your "he's has shown a lot of growth" comment on nothing else but CG's comments.

Did I deny that Chan said it? Please point out where I did so I can remove that. Thanks. And you can say whatever you want, but there is a clear distinction between the two. Jamarcus "made a jump" a few weeks ago when he came into camp ready to fight for his job against Campbell and impressed...then that stopped, he sucked again, and is now in jail. No one went as far as to say he was "showing growth." "Showing growth" implies continuous improvement and expected further development. "He's made a jump" - and more importantly, "We'll have to see how he progresses once we get pads on and all that" - implies no such expectation of further improvement, but more of a cautious optimism of such. If you can't see the difference then I can't help you.

I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree then. If you've got proof he's "shown growth" or you've actually seen something either live or on tape then fine. If his HC says he's "made a jump" and you turn it into him "showing growth" after tooting his horn all off-season then you're probably from the Wishful Thinking tribe.

He's "made a jump" and "has shown growth" are decidedly different things, not to mention nothing concrete is given. I believe it's a little premature to say that Brohm is "growing." I'm hoping he does, but I'm not going to fall into the "wishful thinking" category of so many posters and claim that it's already in the works.

Maybe this is Alphadawg's source claiming Brohm's immense "growth." +1 IIRC, Brohm's top ten projection was well before the Combine and potentially before the end of the college season, which means absolutely nothing. Do I need to give you a list of players projected to go first round that got drafted on the second day, the third day (since there's been one), or not drafted at all? Besides, what a cop-out, bull **** excuse that is, as are the rest of your "explanations" for his failure. His failure is his and his alone. If he turns it around, great. But the onus is on him to do so. What are you smoking and where can I get some??

Maybe they'll take Whitner, Lynch, Parrish, and a fourth for him...

Why, because he says he has? Please.
