PromoTheRobot Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I seem to remember reading that all 3 Bills QB's are at the fieldhouse working out with Gailey. I mention this because I'm wondering if this played into trying to get McNabb. After seeing all three in drills, do Gailey and Nix figure they need help ASAP? I had hopes that Brohm could show something. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronc24 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I think they realized they needed help the moment they were hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolinaBill Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 chan stated a while back that they were going to add at least 1 qb, so I'm guessing they wanted to add an experienced starter, and mcnabb was the best option to date, right now i'd venture to say that campbell is being explored as an option as well as all the QB's in the draft aside from bradford. Personally id like to get campbell and draft a qb, dump trent and fitz, but thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hopes that Brohm could show something. PTR Nix addressed this when he got hired in a not so cryptic way. We don't have the guy to lead us on this roster. All that's happening right now is them seeing who stays as backups. I am sure Nix would have rather had McNabb so the draft would be easier, but that didn't happen.

Kingfish Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I'm sure Gaily has a player from this years draft in mind that he has hand picked as the QB he wants to be brought in for him to groom. I'm expecting the Bills to trade back into the late first round to snag Tebow or Colt McCoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting the Bills to trade back into the late first round to snag Tebow or Colt McCoy. I think it is a big assumption that there is ANYONE in the draft (aside from Bradford) who Gailey wants to "groom". There is a difference between coaching up someone with talent and trying to take a no-talent and make them acceptable with a ton of coaching. Other than Bradford, there are only 2 QBs that seem like they *might* have enough skill/talent to be "groomed" into a starting NFL QB. Clausen with the questions about his arrogance/leadership and Tebow with the questions about his ability to develop a NFL-calibre release and to learn to read complex defenses in a NFL offense. The rest of the QBs are such long-shots to ever amount to anything in the NFL, that I'd just as soon pass on them all. The Bills already have a cast of 3 mediocre QBs, why add more like that?

I had hopes that Brohm could show something. PTR Their interest has nothing to do with whether or not Brohm has any potential. We are talking about McNabb who has played at a very high level desptie having virtually no recieving weapons most of his career and is still in his prime. He makes us an instant contender while we groom Brohm who is still young and inexperienced. There is more talent on this roster than posters like to give credit for, and a big upgrade to a top 10 QB like McNabb makes us dangerous. Brohm has lots of upside, but still is unproven and will need time to develop even if he wins the job this year. IMO, it is Brohms potential that kept the FO from giving away the farm for McNabb which given the Skins deal would have to at least been two 2nd round picks, or our 2nd and a swap of firsts this year. They have a young guy with lots of upside, so they probably saw more value in using those picks to fill other holes and seeing what we have in our guys first rather than trade away so many high value picks.

sllib olaffub Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have to disagree that there are no qb's in this draft with nfl potential other than the top 3. There are enough instances in the league where later round qb's have been good to think it is possible that the right coach could groom or plug the right college qb into the right scheme to make it work. I believe a lot of success in the nfl is matching the right players with the right coaches and the right teams. So, if Gailey has a talent for designing offenses that help qb's succeed, then I'd bet he can make something work. Guys like Jarrett Brown, Colt McCoy, and Dan LeFevour could be asked to do minimal things, in the right system, and be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is total unsubstantiated BS based on nothing but your h*rd-on for Brohm. Way to just make sh*t up. LOL!!! The fact that they were willing to give up picks when they have such a thin roster is a complete indictment of all of their QB's. Add to that, they were willing to give him an extension!? I don't think Buddy and Co. were going to wait for Brohm or the other two scrubs to blossom. Nice try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcnabb didn't want to come to Buffalo regardless, I also think Brian Brohm is an intriguing QB and it won't surprise me a bit to see him starting in the NFL one day. Lack of experience will probably prevent him from beating out TE and Fitz this coming up season, but its a new offense and stranger things have happened. I mean its not like TE's experience from the last couple of seasons has done him allot of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic_soulja Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 They can bring in Campbell, they can bring in Bulger, they can draft McCoy, Tebow, Clausen, Skelton, Armanti, Pike, Lefevour or anyone else they want in this year's draft...Trent will beat ALL of them out for the starting job...you heard it here first...well even if you didn't hear it here first...you heard it here again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with both Vick and McNabb gone, I can only hope that we can dispel these even more ridiculous 'sign Jason Campbell' baffoons sooner rather than later.
