Yes, because players who haven't played extensively, never turn their careers around. You're right, the book is already out on him, he can never improve. Lesser QBs have been given more of an opportunity to prove themselves. You think every QB comes into the NFL ready to throw 300 yd, 3 TD games?! You could take your stance if he had never proved to be a capable player in the past, but since he has, he could absolutely improve with experience and confidence <--- the most important aspect to any player's game. Those who think otherwise, haven't played a sport on any level..

This is also largely a misnomer.. Trent only had one good preseason game - it was the game against the Bungles. He was terrible against the Redskins, was terrible against the Colts until he hit a wide open Lee, and was pedestrian against the Lions. Make no mistake about it, it was the CJ Spiller show. Since the offense had so much success moving the ball and scoring TDs, we'd like to think that Edwards had something to do with it. He didn't.

I think it definitely matters sullim.. Brohm isn't a 30 something, journeyman QB, with multiple starts under his belt. He is a young, unproven QB, who has enjoyed success in the past - albeit at the collegiate level. Find out what you have in him, the NFL always has stories about guys who finally find their way.

There is absolutely no entertainment value in watching the Bills "play" football. They are currently led by a Dick Jauron clone and I'd like to have a reason to turn on Bills games moving forward. The year they went 3-13 (I believe it was 2003..?) I watched every game, because I was interested in seeing who would be a player in the future. I'd never imagine that 7 years later, I'd still be waiting for a competitive team. Here is why I am FOR starting Brian Brohm: He may not currently be better than Edwards, though this is debatable, but he has something that Edwards lacks - the ability to improve. Edwards has over 30 career starts, while Brian Brohm has a single career start. One. If I am going to watch a team fail and fail miserably, I don't want to see the team being led by a 4th year, emotionless player, who looks worse than most rookies. Brian Brohm was a highly successful collegiate player, who has yet to transfer those skills to the NFL level. With extended playing time, he would sink or swim as a starter and we'd know for sure what we have in him. For those already chalking him up as a failure, allow him multiple starts to prove, or disprove himself, before being absolutely sure in your assertion. He seemed to make quick decisions in the preseason and also threw a nice football. I realize that our OL is a siege, but a quicker decision maker could do a lot to mask OL deficiencies. Edwards may be the slowest decision maker in the entire NFL. He is also the most reluctant QB to throw down the field and "throw open" his WRs. Give Brohm his shot, thereby giving me a reason to watch this team, this season.

Randy Cross is an idiot.

We won't win a game until the slowest decision maker in the NFL is replaced. That is a fact.

Yeah, this is my first time seeing him perform. He looks goofy, sort of like, "Peyton Manning meets Sam Bradford", but he definitely knows how to play the position. His mobility, smarts, and accuracy, give him the edge as the top QB. That said, he probably won't come out this year. Who knows when we'll get our QB.

I remember Brohm converting 3rd and long situations in the preseason. One of them, a beautiful pass to a Chad Jackson who is no longer with this team. I remembered thinking, "so that's what 3rd and long conversions look like." Chan, you KNOW what kind of players TrINT and Fitz are when the lights come on, find out what Brohm has!!

I stopped reading after your thread title. Of course he is a better option, that's why he rightfully took TrINT Backwards' job last year. I'd like to see Brohm on the field though, sooner rather than later.

Should've kept Scott and Incognito. I remember when Raiders fans were laughing that we signed Green, while many on this board were saying, "he's a veteran stop gap. He'll be ok, much better than what we had last season." Sadly, the Raider fans were correct in their assessment. This OL: LT-Bell/LG-Levitre/C-Wood/RG-Incognito/RT-Scott, looks better than: LT-Bell/LG-Levitre/C-Hangartner/RG-Wood/RT-Green.

Can't really see TrINT talking trash on the field. He isn't that type of player and doesn't carry that sort of arrogant confidence. Now, I could see him asking an opposing DL to sit down and have a cup of tea with him; that's the TrINT Backwards that I know and despise. Maybe he talks about flowers, rainbows, and gumdrops, during the games, and opposing teams hate him for trying to bring their players to his level of "Charmin soft"..

I know you have undying faith in your boy Trent, Dog, but I have to agree with the masses: this is one of the worst Trent defense arguments ever constructed on this board. According to you, Gailey could have told Trent, "Trent, I know we need a TD to win this game, but if you don't see anything open downfield, don't throw it. I would rather you run around in the pocket than risk an interception. People will use that interception against you weeks from now. On this last play, throw another check down to end this game. Let's go home."

Given your choice - and your only choice is between these two - would you rather have a QB who only throws bombs (i.e. 40 yard passes minimum, time after time), or would you rather have a QB who checks down all the time (i.e. 0 - 5 yd passes maximum). Me..? Bombs away!!

F*** NYC!! They'd rather show MIN and MIA, than another team in the same state?! Only time NYC shows the Bills, is when they play the Jets.

I think he had a good work ethic and also the "want to" to become a great receiver, but he failed for the same reason many other athletes fail: instincts and confidence. Some are born with "it", but most don't have "it". Those who do not have "it" have to rely on their confidence. If a player cannot play the game, any game, with an arrogant kind of confidence, then he will NEVER succeed. I myself have wasted away hours upon hours in a basketball gym, practicing, trying to become a great player, but God just did not bless me with the mind to make the game easy. I have all the skills needed to play in the NBA (no joke), but not the mind that it takes to make it. If hard work and determination were the only caveats to play a professional sport, then many who previously failed would succeed. Simple summation: some are blessed, the rest aren't.

Bingo. Gailey even said as much in his press conference. "You have to be able to throw the ball to get them out of that." You can't fault Gailey for not running the ball if every defender is within 5 yards of the LOS. The disrespect for TrINT was so apparent, that the Miami DB didn't even bother following Roscoe down the seam on the TD throw. Why defend players that run down the field if the QB has thrown nothing but 2-5 yd passes ALL game? Nix sees what we see, Gailey sees what we see, and we see what we've seen the previous 3 years: TrINT just doesn't have it. Rest assured, Gailey WILL NOT continue to blame himself for the lack of offensive execution. At some point, if TrINT's ineptitude continues, you will see QB2 step onto the field.

I don't desire to be a beat reporter and as a fan of the Buffalo Bills, couldn't sit in the room during these press conferences. I wouldn't call those questions unprofessional, but rather forced accountability.

They wouldn't want me as a reporter in those press conferences. Someone should've called TrINT Backwards out on that quote. "You said that you 'think' you want to score? What makes you less than certain in your assertion?" "Going back to last year, you seem reluctant to throw the ball up in Hail Mary types of situations. Are you worried about increasing the INT count on your resume?" "Do you have the freedom to audible out of running plays when there are 9 men on the line of scrimmage? If so, why don't you audible to a pass?" These are just some of the questions that I would like to ask if I had the chance..

Are you sure we're capable of scoring 6 in Lambeau? Or do those points come in garbage time?

Let's revisit this post after the season..

If you go back and read that post, I didn't call anyone asinine, nor pathetic, for believing Levi Brown would be in demand. I merely stated what the rest of rational Bills fans observed: Levi Brown wasn't that good and if cut, would be available for the practice squad. If that somehow hurt your feelings, then you need thicker skin. If this is not possible, then buy a pair of "rational" glasses at your local Rx store.

Did you have your milk and cookies today grandma? You seem a bit irritable.

Asinine?! The only thing that was asinine, were your thoughts regarding our 7th round pick. Your assessment of the QB talent around the league led you to believe that Brown was a hot commodity? Better not try to become an NFL scout. The truth hurts.. your feelings.

Sooo many posters here, were under the delusion that the entire league was waiting on hand and foot if/when Levi Brown got cut. "No they won't cut him!" "He is our QB of the future and if he's cut, he'll immediately be signed by someone else!" "They won't risk putting Brown on waivers, he's too valuable." "Bills can't stash him on the practice squad.. The entire league is watching the waiver wire for his name." And so forth, and so on.. I told the Brown fanatics, it was very likely no other team had a hard-on for Levi. Turns out, he hasn't even been named to a PS yet..

No.. God hates the Bills.
