  1. If you like no touchdowns EVER, then I guess that Brohm is decent looking enough for you. He didn't look very good to me. I saw a guy who was a poor man's Trent Edwards, but worse. Lots of short passes, no better than 50-50 to have a sidelines pass land in bounds. Inaccurate on his deep throws, which were rare (maybe that's why he has no TDs). I think you watched Brohm hoping for something. I admit, I watched Brohm expecting nothing. All he showed me was he is better than Levi Brown. Fitzpatrick can win games that Brohm can't compete in. Why do you think Perry Fewell, when fighting for his job, was scared to death at the thought of Brohm starting & Gailey appears to be going in the same direction. Just remember, the guys making the decision not to play Brohm have seen a lot more of him behind closed doors than you, I, or anyone else on this board unless George Cortez is here under an assumed name.
  2. Schopp is nothing more than a stat boy who is showing he doesn't understand the difference between a stat sheet & what actually goes on when they're on the field. If Lee Evans & the rest of the players didn't have to be so politically correct, they could call in & tell him that when you have a QB who has basically make the WR position useless & the other guy has shown he can use the WRs, you have to go with the guy who doesn't make a $9 million receiver useless. This is a prime example why I always say how worthless QB stats are and that's why the players & coaches look at the film instead of the coaches handing out a stat sheet at team meetings and say "discuss among yourselves"
  3. Hint: He's not in college anymore. Hasn't thrown a TD since college. Why don't you Brohm Boys just latch on to Timmy Chang and demand the Bills sign him if you like college stats so much.
  4. Play all the busts! Guys are on the bench because they're not good enough.
  5. He's on San Diego, it would be tampering. http://www.nfl.com/players/adamterry/profile?id=TER471860
  6. Something nobody has ever seen with Brohm on the field.
  7. If you've read my posts you would know I'm in Fitzpatrick's camp, not Edwards'.
  8. You do realize they acquired a lot of free agents between seasons including a legitimate NFL QB, Chad Pennington, who had a rare season where he was not injured. There is no QB in a healthy Pennington's league on this roster. As the parody song says "With no quarterbackin', get those bags a packin'"
  9. Were you under a rock last season?
  10. A borderline starter at the QB spot is the best we have. Fitzpatrick is the best QB on this team because the other 2 guys aren't even borderline starters-neither Trent Edwards nor Brian Brohm belongs in the NFL. At least Fitzpatrick is a good 2nd stringer-a guy who on a normal team can win games if the starter goes down. The other 2 belong in the UFL or Arenaball.
  11. The bolded quote is true of all the Brohm boys. Three NFL head coaches haven't wanted Brohm anywhere near the field in a real NFL game & you still don't understand that he sucks? I guess the only way for any of you to get it is to put him in for 10 more 3 point games like last year in Atlanta and then you'll finally understand what McCarthy, Fewell & now Gailey have seen of this guy that the fans haven't to make them realize what a colossal bust he is. It used to be the most popular guy in town was the backup QB, here it seems the backup's backup is the most popular guy. Just take off the rose colored glasses & look at Brohm realistically & then maybe you will understand. The guy has never thrown a TD pass in 3 preseasons & a regular season game, but he has plenty of ints. He lacks accuracy unless he's throwing to a wide open receiver near the middle of the field. He doesn't complete long passes, about half his sideline passes are thrown out of bounds. His supporters can make all the excuses they want, but the only consistent thing he's done in 3 seasons, with 3 coaches has been to be inactive on gameday. The lone exception was when he was literally the last QB standing & Fewell was forced to start him in Atlanta. Perry Fewell, sfter seeing the debacle in Atlanta, did just about everything but kiss Fitzpatrick's ankle to get Fitzpatrick back for the Indy game rather than risk his career by starting Brohm again. The only thing Brohm has done is play better than the dreadful Levi Brown in preseason.
  12. This is as dumb as saying you have to audition every clown who ever played a game in college to see if he can start in the NFL. Three different coaches have been too scared to let Brohm anywhere near the starting job, Chan saw Levi Brown & determined he will never be an NFL QB, but you still need to see him "tested". They know TODAY that they have no long term starter, they just have to wait until the season ends. Consider this: Trent got benched for horrible play & he's still ahead of Brohm on the depth chart. I trust Chan knows more than you do & will continue to believe that until you are named head coach of the Bills, name a new starter & he succeeds.
  13. I hope Brohm gets his shot too because once you & the rest of the Brohm boys see what Gailey already knows about Brohm you'll not only be calling for a draft choice but you'll be screaming for the Bills to cut Brohm and sign the next reject of your choice because you "saw him look good in college". Plus if Brohm goes in it GUARANTEES us the #1 pick.
  14. No need for changes this week, it's a road game. No intitial changes at QB for the Jets. I think they know the 1st winnable game is home vs Jacksonville. So, what will happen is Edwards will start vs the Jets and with the Jets D, our OL & Trent's injury history, Gailey will let nature take it's course. As a result, Fitzpatrick will start the Jacksonville game.
  15. I agree. That's why on January 2nd, if a loss at the Jets clinches the #1 pick, I'll be rooting for the Jets. While I understand the players want to win & will be trying, I don't understand the fans who want to feel good with victory 2 or 3 of the season when in the long run it could cost the team the impact player they so desperately need to start turning things around. There was a thread where someone listed the #1 pick QBs since 1970, I did the math & 6 of 18 (33%) ended up winning the Super Bowl at least once. 4 of the 18 (22%) won the Super Bowl more than once.
  16. Jauron had a pretty good group of assistants. Cantavolos, Cross, & Sanders were retained by Gailey and using the preseason positions for Fewell (NYG) & Van Pelt (TB), those 2 plus April(Phil), Kugler (Pit), Studesville (Den) Brown(SF) & Tolbert (Car) all got comparable jobs with other teams. Matt Sheldon got a lesser job with Minnesota & Jauron is DB coach in Philadelphia. That's 12 guys still in the NFL. That staff was not as bad as the people who think Gailey & his staff was an instant upgrade guaranteed to produce more victories believed. Fewell, who was coaching for his life did everything he thought possible to win. In the process, he decided that Fitzpatrick was his best QB to try to win games with. 1st he benched Edwards, then after Brohm played in Atlanta & some wanted Fewell to see more by starting Brohm against Indy, Fewell was more concerned with winning & went back to Fitz. Maybe Perry knew something that Gailey is just finding out-Fitzpatrick is the best QB of the group.
  17. 33% of those QBs have won at least 1 Super Bowl, 22% have won multiple Super Bowls. Another (Bledsoe) played in one & was on the bench for another after contributing to the team getting there in the AFC Championship game. If the right QB is available at #1 you take him. Unfortunately the next great one may be Luck. If Luck stays & we draft the wrong guy this year, we won't be able to take Luck a year later, unless we really have the stones to say Luck is so much better that we jettison the guy we take this year.
  18. The guy has never thrown a TD pass since college & he's had three exhibition seasons & 1 NFL start. Everything you say about him is from your dreams. If he was half the player you think he is wouldn't the 3 coaching staffs that have rejected him as anything but a 3rd stringer & the GMs who all let him sail through waivers last September have noticed all the things you dream of at night? You make him sound like Bill Brasky, when he's closer to Billy Jo Hobert.
  19. Anyone who picked us to have a winning record: What were you thinking?
  20. Schobel took it with him into retirement.
  21. "Chan Gailey & his staff are such an upgrade over Jauron & his we can't possibly win fewer than 6 games"
  22. No 1st rounder in 2005. IF we hadn't traded up for JP & waited another year for the QB of the future, Rodgers would have fallen to us.
  23. If GB offers a 3rd for Lynch, take it. No way we get a 1st.
  24. Let's put Brohm in and guarantee 0-16. At least with Fitz we can win once in a while. If they try to play Brohm the rest of the year, Gailey will get fired. I can see trying Brohm for 2-3 weeks until he Marangis his way out of the NFL. Just say NO to Brohm!
