BobbyC81 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Kurt warner comes to mind immediately - Brohm needs playing time and experience and the Bills have nothing to lose by giving it to him (no playoffs this year) Johnny Unitas was cut by the Steelers!!

Chandler#81 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Johnny Unitas was cut by the Steelers!! So was Dawson & Kemp. Cleveland also cut Lenny the Cool while the G-men had Jackie as punter... The point being -though as yet falling on 'deaf fingers'- is that jury is still out on Brian Brohm, early pick QB's HAVE changed teams and been sucessfu,l and I'm excited to see what the kid can do. As for the doom sayers, off! go somewhere else to B word ficticiously about what -in your opinion only- may happen that you'll be vindicated by your negative perspective. rant off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no nice way to say it-You're a bunch of morons! Even then none of these guys were high picks. You people are morons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson from Gamehendge Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Are there people who don't get that this was just a preordained pecking order by Gailey? The rotation for the first two games of the preseason (Edwards then Fitz in game 1 and Edwards then Brohm in game 2) was decided on BEFORE game one's performances. It is not performance based! If it was, it would be Edwards sitting. Clearly, after game 1, Fitzpatrick is the lead horse in the QB race, even though he is not playing in game 2. He outplayed Edwards, as sane fans would have expected. We have not seen Brohm yet. If Brohm plays well Thursday, he could jump ahead of Fitz. Edwards would have to play really well to jump back ahead of Fitz after that first game's performance. I expect game 3 will show more of an order of who is winning the competition. Whomever starts will probably be the front-running by then. I expect all three to play in that game, with probably Levi sitting out that game. Then Levi will get a big chunk of time at the end of game 4, probably the entire 2nd half. I understand the "pecking order"...but going based on ability alone, Fitzpatrick should be at the bottom. And as far as I remember, Edwards led his team down the field on a darn good drive to start the game. He looked alright to me, given the amount of injuries he was dealing with around him...not to mention, a completely new offense. I am not really a fan of any of these QB's...but I think Trent gives us the best chance to win. And since we are building for the future...why even keep Fitzpatrick on this roster? Go with the 3 young guys...see if there is a capable starter out of Edwards, Brohm and Brown...if there is NOT, then find yourself the next "Frank Reich" that can backup your starter that you bring in next year via the draft.

MDyl7993 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 we know we have nothing in edwards and fitzpatrick - why not see what brohm can do when handed the reins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 They didn't want Brohm to go anywhere. They wanted to keep him. He decided to take the opportunity to compete in Buffalo, because (in his own words) he felt it gave him a much better situation where he could get on the field and play. (Not every QB is Billy Volek.) Of course, you know all that, Deano... That's why it's called a rhetorical question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm sure that no matter who plays QB this season we will draft a QB next year. Beware of being sure about anything this team will do in the offseason. If Bills fans knew last December that the team would pick a RB in round 1 most fans would have collectively sh*t their pants with shock and outrage. Funny how a few months removed from the season they are always able to sell their new RB or DB as a wise 1st round choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady Renko Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Doesn't seem like there's much point in arguing. Brohm will have a chance tomorrow where he will either sink or swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton's Arm Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Warner wasnt a castoff. He was in NFL europe before coming to NFL, and only becmae a starter after Green wwent down. My point remains, i can think of no current starter in the NFL, let alone a franchise QB, who was a bust or failed with one team only to turn it around with another. Brohm was a good QB for a mid major college. He sucked in GB and was on the practice squad before we got him. Hopefully, he can outperform what we've seen from any of our QBs so far. But the odds are he wont. It was difficult for Warner to break into the NFL. He attempted to do so with the Green Bay Packers, but was unable to make the final roster. (Part of the problem was that they had Favre as their starter, and good depth at QB.) After the Packers turned him away, other NFL teams weren't interested in him either. For a while he worked at a grocery store, but he also bounced around other football leagues, including time in NFL Europe. It was something of a coup for him when he finally made it onto the Rams' roster as their third string QB--a sort of victory after years of NFL rejection. Which then proceeded to turn into a much bigger victory . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreakPop Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 You people are morons! The real morons around here are you people who continue to support a QB who has failed time and time again. Trent will NEVER be a good QB, here me NEVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" We should draft the most talented offensive player available in the draft "? Being that we had little explosiveness on offense and trouble getting in the end zone would that be a wise choice?
