Albany,n.y.

He was TRADED for a 1st ROUND PICK. Why couldn't GB trade Brohm for even a 7th before they waived him? Big difference between being traded for a 1st round pick & getting waived, you think?

Excuses, excuses, excuses. NOBODY HIDES A PLAYER ONE YEAR REMOVED FROM THE 2ND ROUND OF THE NFL DRAFT ON A PRACTICE SQUAD BY WAIVING HIM 1st!!!!!! If Brohm had ANY potential someone would have picked the guy off of waivers, a few extra $ would not have stopped them if he had anything. By the end of preseason when CHAN GAILEY writes him off you'll realize how moronic your manlove for Brohm is. I sure hope the Bills don't pick up Timmy Chang off some sandlot. His college stats will have the Brohm guys drooling.

Nope, Herman Edwards, a proven failure as a head coach said that. The real quote should be: YOU PLAY TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL As I stated above, hitting rock bottom in the right year is the clearest path to winning the Super Bowl. Why do you think Lebron James is in Miami? He won enough games in Cleveland, but he wasn't on a team that could win it all. So he decided that You play to win championships, not individual meaningless games. Over the past decade the Bills have won too many meaningless games.

Did Washington play in the Super Bowl? Did Miami play in the Super Bowl? Did the Jets play in the Super Bowl? Not recently for any of them. Now here's a fact you can't dispute: 12 of the 44 Super Bowl winners were quarterbacked by a #1 pick in the entire draft. Now this is skewed by multiple wins by Elway, Aikman & Bradshaw, but having 27% of all Super Bowl winners QB'd by a 1st overall pick, considering how many other players and QBs are taken shows the value that you can get if you're really bad IN THE RIGHT YEAR. All indications are this could be the right year to want to be really bad. There are 3 or 4 prospects, at least one of whom could clearly emerge as a can't miss NFL franchise QB. Here's where the math shows how unbelievably valuable getting that 1st pick is in the right year. I didn't do any counts, but in the 44 years of the Super Bowl, there have to have been over 10,000 players drafted. Probably close to 500 QBs taken. In 44 years 18 QBs have been taken #1. In a bad year, like 2007, you get a reach like Russell, but in a good year you get P.Manning, Elway, Aikman or Bradshaw. Clearly, getting the 1st pick in the right year is the best way to win a Super Bowl.

No QB ever drafted as high as Brohm (2nd rd) has ever rebounded from getting waived by his drafting team except maybe an older veteran cut for salary cap clearance well beyond his rookie contract. This means in order for Brohm to make it he has to become the 1st one. High profile QBs cut in their initial contracts never make it. The guys who do make it are always late round to free agent types who are flying far under the radar when they get cut. Kurt Warner got cut his 1st camp with GB (contrary to another poster's revisionist history earlier in this thread). Two reasons were he was so unprepared for his 1st camp & needed years in Arenaball & NFLE before being ready and he was among the greatest group of QBs ever assembled in one camp-Favre, Brunell, T.Detmer & Warner-a raw undrafted rookie.

Typical head in the sand Brohm fan! He WAS CUT by GB last September & then AFTER HE CLEARED WAIVERS BY ALL 31 OTHER TEAMS placed on their practice squad. Did it ever occur to you that GB's attempt to match was simply to keep an insurance policy in November with a guy who knew their friggin offense or are you just too dense? Don't go telling other people they don't know what they're talking about when YOU'RE the one talking out of his @ss!

He needs to go to the UFL if he wants playing time & experience. I'm pretty sure he'll have that opportunity.

Anyone who claims the Bills won't have to draft a QB in 2011, that's who. There have been a bunch of posts like that.

I have nothing against Brohm-he just sucks as a QB. It's his irrational fans, the ones who think Guy & Brandon outsmarted 31 other teams & found a franchise QB in the scrap heap, that I've got the problem with. The good news for me is that I won't have to be viewing their irrational posts once they go through an exhibition season with the guy. Unless they bury their heads in the sand & don't watch, they'll be reaching the same conclusion that I already have. If he plays to my expectations, the only in posts left will be from the most irrational who will claim that Brohm "will haunt us" after we cut him.

I'm chomping at the bit too. Because after Brohm ***** the bed in Toronto, all the Brohm fans will finally have to admit that he doesn't belong in the NFL.

It should be obvious to all but the Brohmbinos that Flynn is better than Brohm, and probably better than TE, RF and LB too

At some point of every decade, except the 1990s, the Bills were the laughingstock of the NFL (or AFL). Late 1960s Early 1970s, then Mid-Late 1970s Mid 1980s Early & late 2000s Early 2010s

Wrong-Ferguson & Dufek were 1984

No doubt about it, the QB who starts the most games will lead the team in sacks.

Just to put things in perspective, Trent Edwards looked great in preseason when he was a rookie.

I really hope Shania Twain knocks on my door and wants to come in because she's lonely after her divorce. Your hopes for Brohm are about as likely as my hopes.

In 1985 Ferragamo was washed up. Trent can't be much worse than 1985 Ferragamo. Ferragamo was so bad the Bills cut him during the season.

There will be games next year, maybe not until October, but there will be a 2011 season. The NFL is not the NHL, they can't cancel the season because they have too much of a commitment to the Super Bowl and the city it is scheduled for.

Didn't have the $20 to get a picture with Marshawn?

I'm convinced more than ever that Trent Edwards is not the answer at QB. I can see him starting the season as the starter by default, but there's no way he's around by the end of the season. He'll either be traded, cut or end up on IR like Rob Johnson's last days here. In 1985 we picked up Bruce Mathison off of waivers and he ended up the starter after Ferragamo lost the starter's job & got waived. I could see a similar scenario this year, with a guy who is not even on the roster ending up our starter by mid-season. A more likely scenario is Fitzpatrick ending up the starter, just like last year. In 1985 the Bills also had a rookie QB who was given a "redshirt" year when you could stash players on IR to start the season. Even though he never was #1 on the depth chart, he had a pretty good career. One year later, in 1986, our franchise QB arrived. It looks like we'll be getting our Franchise QB next year too, and if Levi Brown can be the next Frank Reich, many of us will be satisfied with that 7th round pick.

Brohm's college game does not translate to the NFL. I'm not giving him a chance because he's already proven that he's a bust. If he was any good, at least one team would have claimed him when GB waived him last year. Instead, they all passed. Do you really think the reason that nobody wanted him was because all the other teams were set at all 3 QB spots? I have a lot more respect for those who are calling for Brown than for Brohm. At least Brown hasn't flamed out of the NFL already like Brohm did. Nothing against Brohm personally, but I can't wait until the Bills cut him so all the people still pointing to his college days & making every possible excuse for the guy will STFU.

In a couple of weeks the only supporters Brohm will have left are his relatives. The guy brings nothing to the table that is any better than what we have. You'll see. If you really want to jump on someone's bandwagon, it might as well be Levi Brown's, because he's got a lot more "upside" than Brohm. It's not just the Atlanta game, it's the reports out of camp that Brohm has shown realtively poor arm strength and is weak on accuracy and the fact that he is floating between 2nd & 4th on the depth chart, with #3 already locked up by Brown. All the Brohm fantasies will come to a screeching halt after he plays in 1 or 2 exhibition games & you see why GB cut him last summer. He doesn't belong in the NFL & in 2 weeks it will be quite evident. What I don't understand is why the Brohm fans think the Bills can do something no other NFL team has done in the modern era-get something out of a high round QB who gets cut for reasons other than the salary cap. Look it up, the guys who other teams steal are late round under the radar players. You don't steal 2nd round QB busts and get production out of them. Remember you're taking about a John Guy acquisition. It's as if you bought a lottery ticket & think you'll be a millionaire tomorrow-It isn't happening!

How? Who is out there to acquire? I've seen some posts today that we can trade Lynch for a tackle-Ha! They can't trade 2 strike Lynch for anything other than a conditional pick. Even worse Lynch is injured now & nobody will give up much for an injured RB who is one more "mistake" from a long suspension.

Worse if you can imagine that. Trent looked like a guy who does not belong on an NFL playing field. Mitch Williams & Charlie Sheen may need to hand over the nickname "Wild Thing" to Fitzpatrick if he plays like tonight in the future. Levi Brown is green as a gourd. Brohm will have an opportunity to get himself into the hunt on Thursday. By design, tonight he was the Invisible Man. The only way things can get worse is if all the guys going for 1 & 2 get injured & Levi Brown ends up starting, with Jeff George brough in as his backup.

As someone brought up a few months ago, you also have to look at a player's floor. Brohm has a much bigger floor, or downside potential than Edwards or Fitzpatrick. I can honestly say from what I saw in Brohm's floor game last year (3 points) that he has a lot more "DOWNSIDE" than any other QB on the roster. GB didn't need to see any more of Brohm when they cut him last September & dared the league to claim him before he joined their PS. If we're screwed with the other two guys, we could be screwed, tattooed, and just plain booed with Brohm out there if he lives down to his potential. With Brohm there's at least a 50-50 chance that he could be A LOT worse than Edwards or Fitzpatrick-just look at his TD-INT ratio when he's played vs NFL competition, just look at that Atlanta game without falling back on the excuse that "He was too new to the system to be effective" In contrast, Fitzpatrick came into a game cold for the 1st time in his rookie year & lit it up. Now he may have been in the Rams' sytem longer than Brohm was with the Bills, but he was a friggin' rookie & he lit it up! Edwards has had games where he lit it up as well. Brohm has not done a thing in the NFL but get his @ss cut. QBs get cut every year with less of an opportunity than the Bills have given Brohm and nobody ever accuses the team of not giving the guy a fair chance. Virtually every one of these types are never heard from again. I've used the Gary Marangi analogy to Brohm a lot-once we knew what we had in Marangi, he was out of the league. Brohm is a lot closer to Marangi than he is to Kurt Warner. Actually I agree with one thing-Brohm has a chance of getting better, because it's hard to imagine him being able to get any worse than that 3 point Atlanta game, which no matter what excuse you try to come up, with was a disaster. Brohm will be a lot better off after the Bills cut him & he has time to line up a high school coaching job for 2011. That's where his true potential & future is-some high school in Kentucky.
