bills_red Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/brian-...le-tab-analysis Compares To: DREW BREES-New Orleans...Brohm is three inches taller and 15 pounds heavier than Brees, but both show tremendous poise standing in with the pocket tightening. Brohm has the drive back from center and to his pass-set point and the vision scan quickly to locate secondary targets. He is a high-percentage passer and good decision maker who will not force the ball into a crowd. While his arm strength isn't cannon-like, he is capable of making all the throws, showing good patience when attacking the middle of the zone. Even though the team struggled in 2007, he remained healthy as a senior, securing his spot as a probable first-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I hope he can come in and start to live up to the hype.

Alphadawg7 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I really like this signing, wanted us to draft him that year, wanted us to sign him all year...and finally we have him. Not saying he will be the next great QB, but I think he has a lot of upside with low risk as we dont have a huge investment in him. In fact, I love this signing. I proposed this during the preseason (and many flamed the idea) and I wish we signed him then, but hopefully he can get up to speed enough to see some game action this season.

DarthICE Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I really liked him coming out. Maybe a coach like Shanahan can do something with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladiebla Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 First of all I hope he works out however I've seen him play twice this preseason and omg omg omg... Mort's boy >>>>> Brohm from what he's shown thus far in the pro's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always liked Brohm and wanted him the moment he was placed on the PS. - I think we see him start this season. This is a great move and I cannot believe they went out and got him, I had only been posting about getting him for months. I posted about Brohm the same time they placed him and Meredith on the PS, and I suggested we get both of them....they went out and got Meredith, then Brohm...WOW. Come to think about it, I also posted many times about Nic Harris pre-draft, and how he was a beast and how he would be a perfect fit for the Bills cover 2.. Maybe the Bills are reading my posts.... PS: Hire Shannahan, or look at Harbaugh from Stanford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 College performance means nothing. A local SF radio sports station has Steve Young on every week. It's usually a pretty good and candid interview. Steve said that the difference between college and the NFL is that in college everyone is open, in the NFL no one is open.

Orton's Arm Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/brian-...le-tab-analysis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I hope he can come in and start to live up to the hype. Wow! That third link in particular really sounded encouraging! With this guy on board, it's very tempting to go OL in the 2010 draft. And when I say "go OL" I mean go OL!!! As in the following: 1. LT. Bell is not the answer. 2. Interior OL. Hangartner is, I think, the 32nd rated center in the league. We can either put the interior OL at center and bench Hangartner, or we can move Wood to center and start the interior OL at guard. 3. Front 7 defensive player. 4. RT. Butler gets hurt too often, so it's important to have quality depth at the RT position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a pretty good and candid interview. Steve said that the difference between college and the NFL is that in college everyone is open, in the NFL no one is open. Yep, that's exactly why my biggest criticism of Edwards (and JP, for that matter) has been that he can't anticipate breaks. He's gotta see the guy in open space or already breaking to open space before he'll make the throw....that's a big reason why the fugger checks down constantly. If you listen to the first clip posted above, at about the 2:30 mark Merrill Hodge says that one of the best things about the kid is that he's able to anticipate his WRs better than most other QBs and how that's a huge advantage coming into the NFL. I'd love to see this kid hit the playbook for a few weeks and then let him play a bit before the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zazie Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 So who's idea was it to sign Brohm? Fewell? Brandon? Wilson? Van Pelt? Let's credit Fewell since he is the only variable that has changed and the season is 9 weeks old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasBB Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 What I don't get is since when is 6'2" good size for an NFL quarterback? With the size of today's linemen, I really think you need a QB who is at least 6'4". Yes, I'm well aware that there are many successful NFL quarterbacks who are not 6'4", but a couple of extra inches really helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsaikotic Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 wish I had a couple of extra inch's as well.....ok that's just bad, I'm short (5' 6 1/2"), that's all I meant..lol..anyways...does this signing mean they most likely won't be drafting a QB this year?...I'm not really liking any of this years QB's...yes, I know I have Pike in my mock, but my mock was written b4 the events of the past week..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 ...does this signing mean they most likely won't be drafting a QB this year?...I'm not really liking any of this years QB's...yes, I know I have Pike in my mock, but my mock was written b4 the events of the past week..lol That's possible. The team may have looked ahead to next year's draft, figured that they were drafting too late to get a genuine blue chipper and thought Brohm was as good or better than anyone they could pick up in the middle rounds. Still, I doubt they are viewing him as "the answer". My guess is that they feel that Fitzpatrick serves the role of veteran backup. Brohm is a developmental backup. And Edwards is the odd man out. I have a feeling that they look toward free agency (or possibly a trade -- McNabb?) for a genuine starting caliber NFL QB in the off-season.

Wood to Center. 3.Agreed, best one available. 4.Agreed. Maybe Butler becomes the reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Butler should go back to guard wood to center, Bell and Meredith compete for RT spot in offseason, we shop for a LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 If Bradford slides to us I would pick him up without giving it a second thought..... I would take a OT with the 2nd pick of our draft......and bring in some free agent offensive linemen. BUT....wouldn't be something if Brohm at QB and Wood at center ended up being a solution for us? Wouldn't that be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
