Deadstroke

That's a good post, in line with what I've been thinking. If I were GM I suppose I'd give him no more than week's end to sh&t or get off the pot. There are other candidates!

The thing is that if we met with him twice, or should I say HE MET WITH US TWICE, why would he do that if he wasn't interested?

Maybe you forget the Bills of '88 through the mid '90's. Yeah, we had Thurmond but we were a predominantly passing team! Maybe we don't have a Kelley on the roster right now but if Brohm or a draft choice QB comes through for us, hey, history often repeats itself, huh?!!

That makes loads of sense, #18; save the man for next year when he knows the players and playbook and can actually come out of the gate running more or less at full tilt. Will we actually draft a QB? Good question and I for one don't really think so. Not sure of course, but don't think so! Somehow I get the feeling that Nix doesn't really have a top QB in mind in this year's draft and maybe we'll groom the living hell out of Brohm, keep Fitz as #3, and pick up a #2 FA somewhere to actually push and compete with Brohm. At the risk of boring you to death, Brohm has a terrific arm, is highly intelligent, has been highly accurate to the tune of 65% in college, has lots of guts to take a beating, etc, and IMO has what it takes to play QB successfully in the NFL. Last 3 pre-season games at GB... 12 - 19 for 83 yds 0-1 against Buffalo 4 - 5 for 45 yds 0-0 against Arizona 20 - 28 for 154 yds 0-0 against Tennesse Yeah sure, you don't see any TD's there but the completion % is 69% and by all accounts he was playing with the bottom of the barrel scrubs. For this he gets cut? I'm not seeing it folks. I'm thinking the pack was saving money by making it look bad for him, cutting him, quickly picking him back up and putting on the scrub team. Notice how they tried to get him back when we claimed him; and that meant that he would have had to be ACTIVE for a good number of consecutive games. To cut this off; I'm thinking he's a whole heck of a lot better than 95% of the fans out there think!!

You know one thing that makes me really scratch my chin is Kelley recommending Tebow so highly. Say what you want about Kelley, criticize the hell out of him and dump on him, but hey, if you think he doesn't know good QB'ing when he sees it you're not thinking straight. HOF QB and all that stuff, huh!!! Anyway, he says the Bills should grab Tebow, he loves the Bills, so that really makes you think!!

California? California?? Did you really say California? Yeah.....RIGHT!!!!! Pfffffft!!!

IMHO you're complicating things. Look... Maybin is too light in the butt to play DE, and besides even if he could he plays the same position, same side, as Schobel who I'm confident will give it a go for a couple more years. Therefore, McKinley, Maybin goes to LB, if and only if, we go to a 3-4. That's how I see it anyway.

Just want to point out, ICE, that Brohm had the 2nd strongest arm in the 2008 Combine. If he doesn't have enough arm for Ralph Wilson Stadium, well hell, I guess we'll never find an adequate QB, huh?

Cowher Grimm Weis

Only our stupid coaches would continue to play a 235 lb guy at DE.....HE'S A LB!!!!!!!!

I seldom agree with a post as detailed as yours but in this case I think the above looks pretty good, Dave. Actually the only kinda serious problem I have with it is Fewell. I don't like his "bend but don't break" style. I know...I know, we don't have the horses and all that stuff, but I'm thinking a little more creative blitzing, etc, would have helped. Also, the past few weeks seeing him as the HC it's become apparent that unfortunately, well.... he is somewhat retarded, huh!!!! Also, when you say Maybin as OLB, I completely agree, BUT I would push for the 3-4. In needs you don't list QB. Good for you! I don't know whether or not we agree but it seems to me that we already have a QB on the squad with a VERY good arm, highly intelligent, pretty darned accurate, and has a whole hell of a lot of potential, and his name is not Edwards nor Fitzpatrick.

IMHO................... HE IS RUINING OUR RECEIVING CORPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has set our receivers back a year just by the fact that the QB I'm sure has some sort of instructions, implied or otherwise, to put the 6.5 millions bucks to use and throw him the D*** ball!

You have no vision, pal. Just going by conventional shortsighted (non)wisdom. THE GUY LOOKED PRETTY GOOD LAST NIGHT considering the horrible OL, the lackadaisical receivers (read Owens), the piss poor coaching, and the total lack of preparation he had the time to receive.

I'm thinking/hoping that you're right, Alphadawg7. I mean really now, what do we want in a QB? A good strong arm. Brohm has that for sure! Quick release. I saw that yesterday! Poise under pressure. I certainly saw some of that yesterday, especially considering that he BARELY KNOWS THE PLAYBOOK! Accuracy. Yup! At least on the short ones. Of course the films show that he throws good long ones so here's hoping. I don't know guys but as for me, sure we've another week to look at him (don't we coach....don't we? Hmmmmm?) but so far I'm thinking hey, do not draft a QB this year!!! Give the man a full training camp, work him to the bone as your first stringer with lots of pre-season work and I have a very strong feeling that he isn't lacking much to be a fine NFL QB.

Look, I'm a little P/O'd by what I've been reading but I'll make this as quick as I can. Just about all I've been reading is how Brohm is a bum because all he did was make a lousy imitation of Fitz and Edwards..... duh! Well, lord almighty fellas, I mean think about it; isn't that really quite an accomplishment when you think about it? After 5 weeks with the team, after 3 little days working with the first team who's names he hardly knows; making his first start ever in the biggies; playing behind undoubtedly the worst OL in the league; saddled with an incredibly stupid game plan devised by possibly.... no, I mean surely the worst coaches in the league, hey..... not Manning, Rivers, Brees, Brady, none of them could have looked good QB'ing the bumbling Bills yesterday. None of them!! I'm not saying that Brohm is the answer but I am saying that MAYBE he is and we just need to take a step back and really evaluate given the circumstances.

That's what I was thinking. Hope that's what happened. Weis is a genius on the "O" side, then hire a a good coordinator on the "D" side and WALLA!!!

They all suck or are unavailable.....and we'll know more about Brohm in a few hours won't we?!

Make the LT a 1st rounder, BBgun. A future pro bowlin' DOMINANT guy!!!!

Your ignorance is overwhelming, Circle man. First of all, a coach, especially a 57 year old guy probably on his last job, wants to go to a soon-to-be-winner, that is a team with a ready QB which Buffalo obviously does not have (although I for one cross my fingers on Brohm). The majority of players, Circle man, will go where they see a good staff in place (hey, we ARE hoping the Bills hire a good staff, right?) and where they receive top dollar. Ralph seems willing to spend the bucks to build the team right now before he has to soon meet and explain to his maker why he has slacked off from building a winner all these years. In short, maybe...just maybe, Scrooge's pocketbook is now open somewhat and you can say what you want but if it is, the players will imitate the Field of Dreams and come in......and you can take that to the bank, Circle man!!

You're talking pretty dumb I'm thinking, theman. If Brohm comes anywhere near those figures with his total lack of preparation we should all get down on hands and knees and pay homage. It's NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE! BUT with a good showing....... well, it would be nice to be able to take a chance on him next year instead of being forced to draft a QB high.

3-4 fellas.... the 3-4 is the place for him as an OLB. In case you think he's just a DE you have to consider that a OLB in the 3-4 he'd be our fastest LB.

I disagree with your final paragraph, esp. the word SEVERELY! IMO given injury recovery I think that we are AT LEAST adequate at 4 of the 5 with LT obviously the kicker. That just might be our #1 draft choice.

Your premises is not very thoughtful, matter2003. We WOULD in fact learn something about Brohm in the same way that the Jets learned about Sanchez, and that is that is has a lot of ability and in time I have no doubt will put it together and be a fine QB. It's called a learning process, matter guy.... you know, like it takes time and experience....knock knock knock!

Then again there may be an optimistic way of looking at it...... ----We MAY be able to go with Brohm; at least for next year. Who knows, huh? ----Butler and Wood have a good chance of a full recovery leaving us 1 LT short of a potentially above average OL. ----WR I say we're not as weak as people think, but look to FA and draft wisely. ----On the "D" strictly my opinion BUT if we go to a 3-4 and Schobel likes what he sees in Mgt, etc and stays I think we at least have a heck of a nucleus of a good "D". Look... the deep 4, 5, and 6 DB's are set, then at LB's Mitchell, Poz, and MAYBIN (yeah, a natural switch for him), and that leaves needing one more either by draft or FA. Then on the DL, start with Schobel, for another year or two anyway, while IMO the other DE currently would have to be a Kelsey and Spencer Johnson split or of course draft or FA; and obviously the NT would be a giant priority. Count it, that's only 2 or 3 players short! Not perfect I grant you, but not too shabby either. A good draft to go along with it, good coaching, avoid injuries for once, and a 10-6 playoff scenario is very possible.

Gotta agree with you there, pal. But isn't that the way that the current Bills do things? Let's put our hands together and hope that a new regime has a different/better mentality.
