wardigital Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 It's because Brohm hasn't played yet this season -- nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 That only makes sense when you're in win now mode and you think a rookie can come in and fill a hole. When you're doing a 2-3 year rebuild, picking need over BPA is the definition of reaching, which lands you overpaid mediocrity across the board. Is that unlike what we have now ? e.g.: Whitner, Poz, Lynch, McKelvin, McCargo, Evans, etc. Actually, mediocre would be a step up from where were are now.

polish lover Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Whenever Trent plays I feel like the team has no hope. He is so bland and ineffective its ridiculous. Fitz is slightly more exciting but still feels like a talentless backup. I think people like Brohm because just maybe he might bring some excitement to the Bills' offense. We already know how hard it is to watch the Trent and Fitz led Bills. It's pretty awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koufax Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I see the Bills winning anywhere from 0-4 games. Anything more than that would be a huge surprise. While I appreciate the position by position breakdown (which didn't take into account an unusual quantity of injuries unlikely to be repeated, plus the fact that three of our offensive line starters had zero experience and now they do, plus the no-huddle fire your OC stuff)... ...if you really think that ZERO wins (happened once in the history of the NFL) is more likely than FIVE wins (which the Bills have done each of the last eight years), as indicated by your "0-4", then I think you are leading with your pessimism and not rationality, and that is a conclusion that should not be attached to a fairly reasonable attempt to break down this team. I know we have a lot of sad and scared football fans out there who are still not right after Scotty Norwood broke their hearts or the Titans lateraled, but right now I think the prevailing winds have us the opposite of Cubs fans. They are fans of a mediocre team who they regularly think will be good. We are fans of a mediocre team who we instead think will be doomed. I'm going to try to enjoy our 7-9 record if that happens, and hope for a victory each week out and that we get rolling and do better than reasonable expectations.

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 And I believe Marv used to say, "When you start listening to the fans, you'll be sitting with them." and when you start drafting the Donte Whitners and John McCargos of the world, and bring in a crypt-keeper head coach like Jauron... well, you'll be sitting right alongside them. :worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksilver Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 When the fans are selecting a QB they have never seen play a full game, it is an indictment of the managemant of the team. And also an indictment of the other 2 QB'S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjatcreek07 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Get Real man! I love the Bills. I want a super bowl win. I believe we're headed in the right direction. But this season stinks of the 2001 Bills. Remember when Greggo took over? I believe they went 3-13 that season. The reason is we didn't have the players on the team to compete. If the Bills continue to Build through the draft and if there is something such as free agency in the future, we'll be a great team, as long as they draft for need and not BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE! and Get REAL FREE AGENTS, you know impact players? I understand this is nothing more than a rebuilding year, but to say we will be lucky to win a game is one of the crazier things i've read on this site. Don't be surprised when we go 6-10 or 7-9 with the foundation to set up and create a post season bound team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Who do you want to win the starting QB job?Brian Brohm 60% Trent Edwards 33% Ryan Fitzpatrick 6% 508 votes http://blogs.buffalonews.com/billboard/201...ard+(BillBoard) (via PFT) Easy to pick a unknown I guess.

Drafting for need in the first few rounds when there is a huge disparity between the talent level of your need and the talent level of the BPA results in a team devoid of playmakers. Have you enjoyed watching that team for the last ten years? The tone of your post would suggest you haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoretalk Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Brohm seems to WANT the job more than the other two, which says a lot to me... We will see tonight how badly he wants it and how well he can play under the pressure of 'this is your opportunity!' I think all of us are wanting a quarterback who can manage the game and throw passes downfield more than 5-10 yards. It might be Trent but last week was truly disappointing ... I did love what I saw in Levi's game as he mopped things up (take note Howard Simon ... things to happen late in preseason games). It would be really interesting to see what he could do over a quarter or more of play. The bottom line ... for Bills fans ... somebody please be the answer at QB!! And, no more injuries this year!

EastRochBillsfan Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 And remember hope and change got us our current president and his promise to be out of gitmo in 90 days, out of iraw in a year, unemployment will stay below 8%.

thewildrabbit Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I honestly hope Brohm wins the starting job and plays well and the Bills start winning! Because Trenty doesn't look so good atm. The reality will be is that Edwards will start, Brohm will replace him at some point for a few games and you all will realize what I already know... NO QB is going to play well behind the worst O line in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus the disconnect. I would argue that they have drafted for need in early rounds more often than not, with this year being the most notable exception. I would also argue that based on the post you were responding to, Rob's House was insinuating that the Bills have a history of drafting for need over talent as well.

The Dean Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 And yet in Green Bay for 2 years brohm couldn't get off the practice squad. So I find it doubtful that Green Bay with their success at QB's would hav him so low unless there were issues. Except for handful of snaps at the end of his 3rd season, Tony Romo didn't see the field until his 4th season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
