Levi Brown

[The Cincinnati Kid]

I really like the guy. He is oozing with confidence, not only in his words, but also in the fact that he transfered from I-AA Richmond where he was not starting to I-A Troy and won the starting job. The guy knows he can play and at a high level. He won't start this year, but he will make the team (not the practice squad). Unless Trent really shows he is the Man this year, Levi will be starting next season after "winning" the starting job for 2011 in camp. Fitz is a career back-up who will look ok when called upon and will execute game plans to keep his team close (all you can ask from a back-up QB). Brohm has zero faith in his abilities. Its really sad, but the guy just doesn't believe in himself or his talents. It showed up in GB and, in my opinion, in the way he talks to the Buffalo Media. I think he is the odd man out this year. (Is he still eligable for the PS? If so he may end up there.)

He was eaten alive by Ohio State last year. He looked scared. He also looked like he had an understanding of when players would be open and could deliver the ball quickly. In the one practice that I saw at the stadium, when he was rushed his accuracy was awesomely bad. He panicked and missed his target by whole yards several times. He is a little bit awkward and is not really a physical specimen.

 

Coming into camp can be intimidating, especially socially. I dont think I have enough information to say how he might do. I am not really optimistic based on the little bit that I do know.

 

 

EDIT: Sept 20, 2008. It seems I was wrong and it was Jamie Hampton I remember being abused. Regardless of my apparent memory lapse I watched other games of his and some film on Brown this spring and was not blown away, but I didnt doubt he was one of the better qbs coming out this year. He at least looked good in his bowl game against southern miss, which I am sure I saw:)

Troy didn't play Ohio State last year.

Jamie Hampton was the Troy quarterback in the 2008 game that saw Troy routed by Ohio State. Levi did not make an appearance in that game. So, once again if you are going to be a basher ... get your players right and know what you are talking about.

 

Remember always check Madden first ... because Madden knows all!

Was it two years ago? Good call.

Um...it was, like...never.

He has nice hair.

Sept 20, 2008.

Jamie Hampton was QB. Check the stats. Brown didn't play that game. But maybe Levi did look nervous and tentative on the sideline.

[grelit]

So saying Levi Brown struggled against Ohio State and being mistaken that it was Jamie Hampton de-credits your post. The jury is still out on Levi Brown, lets judge him once the pads are on in August and go from there, not in shorts in June...

[Glass To The Arson]

Strong arm. Nice hair.

 

I'm down with Levi Brown

[sammythehead]

Rob Johnson had a nice arm and nice hair...

haha nice.

Yeah, but Levi's not from Cali.

 

We won't know much about Levi until next year, barring injury.

Levi Brown?

 

The baddest dude in the whole damn town.

 

Man I hate the offseason.

[Heitz]

He's a bust - show me one thing he's done in this league!

 

Wait, the only thing he's done is sign a contract. Way to suck up cheap old man Wilson's money, dude. Relying on your 0% completion rate in the NFL, getting by on your nice hair...

 

Trade him and Marshawn to Baltimore for Gaither, it makes sense for both teams!!

You got to check his MADDEN ... no way he's a bust ... MADDEN has him rated over BIG BEN ... this kid is going to pass for 4000 + and have a rating of 130 ... I just know it ...

 

Remember it's not how you play ... it's how MADDEN ranks you!

I really like the guy. He is oozing with confidence, not only in his words, but also in the fact that he transfered from I-AA Richmond where he was not starting to I-A Troy and won the starting job. The guy knows he can play and at a high level. He won't start this year, but he will make the team (not the practice squad). Unless Trent really shows he is the Man this year, Levi will be starting next season after "winning" the starting job for 2011 in camp. Fitz is a career back-up who will look ok when called upon and will execute game plans to keep his team close (all you can ask from a back-up QB). Brohm has zero faith in his abilities. Its really sad, but the guy just doesn't believe in himself or his talents. It showed up in GB and, in my opinion, in the way he talks to the Buffalo Media. I think he is the odd man out this year. (Is he still eligable for the PS? If so he may end up there.)

I'm fine with what you stated, and would be happy with Levi Brown starting in '11 if there isn't a lockout...I was just thinking that Fitz would be the odd man out this year. My reasoning is that Fitz is a career backup QB..(I actually like him better than T. Edwards)..But, I think the organization doesn't want to give up on T.E. just yet, and I figured that they would want to lean in the direction of youth and potential with both Brown and Brohm...as we already know (more so than any other QB on our roster), what Fitzpatrick can and can't do. Brohm being young and green still has some unknown factors even though he has lacked the ability so far to fully digest a NFL playbook. I really think they should've reached outside of the organization to bring in at least one other QB to enhance competition than going with the deadwood that we've dealt with the past couple of years! I have a feeling that Trent Edwards will be the starter this year even though I am dreading

that likelihood. I guess it is what it is and will be what it will be despite my views and what I want to happen... 5-11 2010 prediction! Hope I'm wrong..

[Mark Long Beach]

Levi Brown? A project. It'd be stellar if moves up to be a competent backup, and a home-run if he's even a mediocre starter (ala Trent Edwards). One of only a half-dozen or so if he proves to be a good starter.
