truth on hold Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thus far looks like Brohm is out. But is Brohm any less a prospect than Brown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldstorage5 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Could be Brohm or Fitz, This will be decided Thursday,..... I think brohm will be cut,.... Keep Fitz as a vet and teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'm not so sure they're as fraidy-skaired of putting Levi on the PS as some would believe. He'd be zero help coming off the bench this year as the #3. Brohm would be a much better choice as the #3 this year. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely a concern to leave Levi exposed on the PS if they believe he has future potential. I also think it's probably pretty certain, historically speaking, that if your team has to get to the #3 QB for any extended period of time during a regular season you're screwed, regardless.

Guest dog14787 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 From what you guys have seen, has Brown showed any reason other folks would have any interest in him? Does anyone in the league even care what the Buffalo Bills do besides us? We will keep TE, Fitz and Brohm on the roster in my opinion and Brown is going on the practice squad.

I also think it's probably pretty certain, historically speaking, that if your team has to get to the #3 QB for any extended period of time during a regular season you're screwed, regardless. So the thing to do would be release a QB that is already showing potential in Brian Brohm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 They've played Brown so sparingly that I think they'll take their chances with putting him on the PS. I thought they'd have given him more chances in pre-season, but it's probably just as well that they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Do you think someone will take a risk to put Brown on their active roster as a No.3? One injury and he's a No.2 with very little experience. Tough call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 i am officially betting my left nut that they keep all three and put brown on the ps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Northern Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Chris Brown already announced this on his Fan Friday blog. <snip> You didn't complete the quote. He announced that Brown will be the 3rd QB. Either they'll only keep 2 QBs on the active roster and Brown will be 3rd on the ps, or they'll keep 3 QBs on the active roster and Brown will be the third. Either way, Brohm or Fitzy are getting cut. Brown will be the third QB, but I’m pretty sure he’ll be on the 53-man squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Brown's shown absolutely nothing so far and there are going to be a ton of young QBs waived. It will be fine to pass him over to the PS. I'm quite sure this is the plan. The three will be Edwards, Fitz and Brohm. And even if I am wrong and Brown gets picked up, who cares? As the other poster said, Brohm has more potential anyway. He's still a young guy, so either choice is going with youth. It's not like we're deciding between Brown and Chris Redman or someone like that.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Chris Brown already announced this on his Fan Friday blog. You didn't complete the quote. He announced that Brown will be the 3rd QB. Either they'll only keep 2 QBs on the active roster and Brown will be 3rd on the ps, or they'll keep 3 QBs on the active roster and Brown will be the third. Either way, Brohm or Fitzy are getting cut. Linky? The quote I saw was "Bills GM Buddy Nix in a recent interview on the Shredd and Ragan show (103.3 The Edge) up here in Buffalo confirmed that they’re only keeping three. My feeling is that Brian Brohm and Ryan Fitzpatrick are likely the two QBs fighting for the one remaining spot. Brown will be the third QB, but I’m pretty sure he’ll be on the 53-man squad." This quote seems rather less definitive, Nix says they are keeping three, it is Chris Browns opinion that Fitz and Brohm are the two duking it out and that Brown will be on the 53 man squad. Not that his opinion isn't worth listening to, but he ain't Chan or Nix. Personally I think they'll keep Brohm and Fitz and put Brown on the practice squad. I think there are going to be NFL-experienced QB and higher-round draft picks tossed onto practice squads all over the country. We may be starting to respect Nix and Gailey, but to the rest of the country they're still a joke so I think a 7th-rounder they pick is relatively safe.

DanInSouthBuffalo Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I know they want to "keep" three but with the issues the defense has at LB, lackluster special teams play this pre-season, and the battles at WR, I think they release Fitz and Brown and try to get Brown on the PS. That will give them three but not on the active roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are he's gone over Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Read my post. "A little different" than what you represented. Sorry, disagree..."he announced that Brown will be the 3rd QB" is much different from "he believes that Brown will be the 3rd QB" (IMO), but no matter either way, I suppose I'm splitting hairs or picking nits or something like that. Your post did a good job adding to the thread so I should just STFU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
