jwolf02 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 He was signed November 2009. He's Jauron's boy. He was signed during Fewell's regime. Post Jauron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Absolutely True, you're the only that got it righ Same week. Jauron fired on 17th and Brohm officially signed on 19th. There was actually at least one day where he tried to negoiciate to stay with GB but GB only offered league minimum for 1 year and no bonus. Buffalo gave a 2 year contract with a bonus and GB said go screw yourself. edit: he signed on the 18th, so these two things were occuring together.

Alphadawg7 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Everyone here is pulling for brohm a lot recently it seems after last night. You would of thought he threw 4tds and 300 yards last night by this board. In actuallity, he did a little more than nothing. 14/21 for what, 125 yards against second string? Fitz played better the first game. In fact, do we realize he didnt play AT ALL in the first preseason game? Because why? Because Trent/Fitz outplayed him to that point. Hes third on the depth chart. What last night makes him second or first on the depth chart? Fitz and trent have thrown tds, he hasn't. In fact he hasn't thrown one his whole career. He even got into camp before trent at fitz during rookie camp, and theyre still ahead of him. Wake up and smell the coffee, his only chance is the #2. At best. Trent is a better quarterback. But all in all, Go Bills LMAO...if you are going to rant, at least understand what you are ranting about. Chan said he is going with 2 QB's a game to get them extended time and the chance to get with the flow of the game. Game 1 was Trent then Fitz, Game 2 was Trent then Brohm.

Alphadawg7 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I think it was Steve Tasker last night that said the current QB competition is for #2 between Fitz & Brohm..and that the loser of that competition would more than likely get cut That is just his interpretation of it, Chan insists its an open competition for the #1 as well...People have to stop reading so much into outsiders observations and start listenting to the teams stance... Trent has not been named the #1 QB yet...Fitz or Brohm still could be chosen, and until Chan says otherwise we wont know who is starting week 1.

cåblelady Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 He's been in the league one less year than Edwards and until the Bills signed him under Jauron he never made it off the practice squad getting beat out by an injured 7th round pick both seasons. *crickets chirping* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 So Brohm only had a 66.7% completion rate and 125 yards in 25 minutes of action? What a bum! Anyone catch Matt Flynn's stat line from last weekend's GB-Cleveland game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 What about Brohm's downside? With Fitzpatrick, there's a limit, with Brohm it's infinite. OK, lay out a cogent argument here. I'll listen. Tell me about what you have seen on the field, from Brohm, that leads you to believe he has a very large downside. I am not interested in circumstantial arguments about when he was picked, but what about his game (throwing motion, ability to read defenses, accuracy, pocket presence, etc) leads you to believe his downside is markedly worse than Fitz's and that his upside isn't worth the risk. I'm not convinced BB is the second coming, but judging on the limited play that I've seen, he looks to be a QB with some potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll lay a little one out there, In 10 games(9 preseason and 1 regular) he has yet to throw for TD. He had a chance last night and still couldn't. Idk about you, but that seems to me like a pretty big downside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a chance last night and still couldn't. Idk about you, but that seems to me like a pretty big downside. Are you worried he chokes up when in the red zone? You don't think a bit of that (or more) inability to get a TD is related in any way to his teammates, circumstance of the game when he gets to play, etc? I can think of quite a few games when Trent failed to score a TD, yet many believe he still has an upside. I'm not discounting your argument, at least you brought something to the table. And if that really is an issue (he is unable to lead the team to TDs) then I'd agree that's a big downside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same goes for Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent has not been named the #1 QB yet...Fitz or Brohm still could be chosen, and until Chan says otherwise we wont know who is starting week 1. True, but that's my interpretation as well. I have posted here several times....during OTA's before the pecking order was announced that Trent would be named the starter, with Brohm #2...& Fitz being cut...& by game 4 Brohm would overtake Edwards as the #1 guy, either due to injury or poor play on Edwards part. But that's just my gut feeling...I don't know more than anybody else. I hope I'm wrong in fact. I would like to see Trent prove his critics wrong...but I'm gonna stick with my prediction. Brohm seems to be more of a gamer, & Fitz just doesn't have the accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I never said he would shine. I still don't think we have "our guy". To be honest, I think we have three bad poker hands. I just think he'll end up being # 1 in the pecking order by game 4...by default. Kinda like winning the ugly dog competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced BB is the second coming, but judging on the limited play that I've seen, he looks to be a QB with some potential. I'm not an NFL scout or GM. The NFL scouts & GMs determined he wasn't worth a waiver claim last September. I'll let the professionals tell you about his throwing motion, ability to read defenses, accuracy, pocket presence etc. Go ask any one of the 32 GMs who didn't want Brian Brohm on their 53 man roster last September & you'll have your answer. The reason he has a very large downside is he has yet to reach the endzone in any game he's played. Fitzpatrick has shown an ability to win (5 of the Bills 6 wins in 2009 were when he was the QB who took the majority of snaps), something Brohm has no experience at. Fitzpatrick came in cold as a rookie, threw for a ton of yards & led a come from behind victory in his 1st NFL game ever, Brohm s**t the bed in his 1st game, when he wasn't even a rookie, leading the Bills to 3 points, and his fans have made 1,001 excuses for it. Brohm put up 3 points again last night. If you want to score one field goal a game, Brohm's your man. Fitzpatrick's downside compared with Brohm's is infinitely smaller. He's shown he can light it up on occasion, win games and has the perfect makeup to be #2 and enter a game cold. Brohm has a lot to prove and I'd hate to see us keep him & let a proven backup like Fitzpatrick go based on a pipe dream of potential-something none of the professional evaluators saw when he hit waivers last September.

But he's improving. He didn't throw 1 int last night. Still doesn't know what a TD pass looks like while he's on the field, but no ints is an improvement.
