Are you saying he sucks based on his lone start last year? Im one of the few who think he did tremendous in that game considering the circumstances. The first pick he threw was Owens fault for not swatting it. The second pick he had stared his reciever down and the cornerback just made one hell of an amazing diving pick. But he played realy well considering the lack of preperation he had. Id love for him to be the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am praying this is nothing but pre draft posturing to get teams to think they dont' want a QB they are really after. Otherwise this team is playing for the 1st overall pick next year. Even with Brohm or Fitzpatrick or Edwards starting they are not playing for the first pick next year. The team is not nearly that bad. Heck we used to start JP Losman for years and we never got into the bottom five in the league. Our team is pretty good even with the QBs we have. With less injuries last year and less incredible stupidness (McKelvin in week one) and horrible coaching, we would easily have been 8-8 or 9-7 last year. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to upgrade QB, and I think they will still try to do that. But I have confidence that Chan will find a way to make this offense work this year.

And you are of course basing your opinion on your expert scouting skills. This guy was a stud in both high school and college and I believe he could be in the pros as well. Thus far, he has started exactly one game, so there clearly is not enough evidence of what kind of pro player he can be. Let's let the coaches do their job. Maybe once we see him a few times there will be evidence of what kind of player he can be. Green Bay clearly thought he could become something as they matched Buffalo's offer for him last year. They tried to hide him on the practice squad and it backfired on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastMode54 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 scouting report: Brohm is a coach's dream. He could've been the #1 pick last season before electing to return to college, so he's definitely pro-ready. What he's gained from being in a family of quarterbacks and by learning more under Bobby Petrino, Brohm has developed into the top quarterback prospect in the 2008 class. Some think he is a product of a pass-happy offense, but check him out on tape and you'll eat those words quickly. Brohm has all of the tools to be a franchise quarterback. He has the size and the big arm to go with it. More importantly, he knows how to use it. Whether it is to throw a bullet over the middle, a fade route to the corner, or the home run ball. He won't scramble for twenty yards, but he can move well enough and can get you a rushing touchdown or two. On top of his physical skills are his football knowledge and his headiness, so he makes few mistakes and he's willing to learn and get better. There is one knock on him. Durability may be a concern, as he had injury problems in 2005 and 2006, though he has rebounded from his injuries well. Overall, despite the potential injury concerns, Brohm's makeup makes him a can't miss prospect, because whoever drafts him won't have him on the pine for long.

ax4782 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Brohm has played one game in the NFL with an offense that he had three weeks to learn and an offensive line that was down three starters. I think that saying he sucks based off that one performance is a bit premature. As for all that talk about how he couldn't cut it with the Packers, if you were suggesting that he was even competing for the starting job in his ROOKIE season there, you're nuts. Aaron Rodgers was the #1 QB on the team and not even a first round pick was going to challenge him that year for the starting job. And, since when did a Rookie QB in a 3 QB system ever become the second string QB in their first season. It is extremely rare, except in cases where the grizzled old vet is getting ready to retire, and if he gets hurt, they want the new guy to get a chance to play and learn the system in game time scenarios. People who post comments about players sucking or being busts without thinking are frequently wrong or unknowledgeable about football in general. Further, to say that Brohm only had a mediocre career at Louisville shows a clear lack of research at the very least into the topic. Here are his stats at Louisville from the three years when he was their starter. Att Cmp % YDS TD INT Rating RAtt RYds Avg RTD 2005- 301 207 68.8 2,883 19 5 166.7 41 -36 -0.9 4 2006- 314 199 63.4 3,049 16 5 158.6 46 45 1.0 0 2007- 473 308 65.1 4,024 30 12 152.4 57 -46 -0.8 3 Here's the link to the stats page at Rivals.com where the stats here came from. http://collegefootball.rivals.com/cviewpla...er=36481#ticker The fact is, Brohm passed for over 11,000 yards in his college career and played in a very good football conference. Not the best, but very good. In Green Bay as a rookie, Brohm was never going to start. The backup, Matt Flynn, has only appeared in four games, and his stats are atrocious. Rookie QBs never play very well when coming off the bench, or in camp because they have to learn a system with which they are almost always unfamiliar. Talentwise, Brohm is probably the best guy on the roster. I don't know if Brohm is the long term answer or not. I do think the Bills like Tebow, and that statements like this could be a smokescreen to keep other teams from drafting him before the Bills pick at 41. If they draft Tebow, I think it will be clear who the Bills will want to be the opening day starter. But Brohm is a good prospect, and given a good coaching staff, he has the tools to develop into a good QB in the NFL. Stating that a player "sucks" when they have appeared in 1 NFL game is completely ridiculous. Let's give the guy a chance with the team and the new staff before we unequivocally, and without any evidence at all is ridiculous. If you go back and watch that Falcons game, you'll actually see that the guy has a good arm and solid instincts. He just needs to be in a system that he has more than three weeks to learn, and have a line that isn't made up of third string starters. Those things will tend to lead to bad QB play.

BillsZubaz Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 You get dumber with every post I swear... +1 Seriously Darth. The guy had a lousy game against the Falcons on a lousy team. He had been in the system for a very short period and our offense was going to be anemic regardless of who was QB. You are wrong on so many accounts. He was a consensus top 5 pick after his junior year. His stock dropped after a mediocre senior year on a significantly worse team in Louisville. As has been stated, it was reported that several teams were making offers to Brohm and he chose Buffalo because he believed it to be his best chance to see the field.

Darth, I can't take it anymore! Occasionally, you make sense here on TSW, but NOW is not one of them. Your trashing of Brian Brohm is just idiotic to me (and apparently to some other posters as well). So F***ing what that he got beat out in Greenbay for the third string qb job (actually it was the second string cuz GB only kept two QB's). He's got all the tools to be a great qb in the NFL and has now had 2 years to develop and not be overwhelmed anymore and in my opinion should be ready to blossom. ANY qb we draft is going to need time to develop. And how can say he was just ok in college? His 4 yr stats, and another poster already put in the link, are 780 of 1186 for 10,775 and thats a 65.8 completion%, 71 tds and only 24 ints, plus 9 rushing tds and 34-10 in the win/loss column. And he played in a good division. Sounds more than ok to me. As for the Atlanta game, the Bills o-line really sucked bad that game (as usual). Atlanta had pressure on him all day and in my opinion he played admirably. He was poised and played just as good if not better than the other two F##ks on the squad with only a couple of weeks in the bills system and not a lot of time to work with the recievers. He should only get better with more time in the new system. In my eyes and from what I saw, he has potential. Give the man a chance! www.Buffalobills.com/team/roster/Brian-Brohm/be3F4ble-4038-abf5b6c991354 and AX, nice read. and alphadog7, I'm with you.

ALL are starters whereas Brohm couldn't even make the regular team in Green bay. Now please tell me what is so damn special about this guy? Nothing other than a name that Bills fans know. He didn't win the Heisman, didnt win a national championship, didn't set a ton of records and didn't play in an overly tough confrence.
