Motel_Sandwich Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I don't think coach Chan had a thing to do with this decision. Don't fool yourself, the crypt-keeper is still calling a lot of the shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasBB Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Give me a break. How bout holding the coach accountable for being out coached and out planned in the Miami game. How bout talking about his offensive game plan, game time adjustments, leadership qualities, and his demeanor on the sidelines. He has been nothing short of terrible in his two starts and your commending him for yanking TE. UNBELIEVABLE...... Yeah, that's right, I'm commending him for doing something that needed to be done. Sorry you can't see any benefit in the move. If anything I think this is not a positive sign for our coaching staff....they had 7 months to evaluate the QBs. They handed Trent the starting job in camp, and gave him all the 1st team work. Fitz and Brohm fought over the scraps and only played in a handful of preseason games each against 2nd & 3rd stringers....now two weeks into the regular season they make the switch??? Agree and disagree all at once. Agree in that how could they evaluate the QB's and come to this decision? Disagree in that he had the balls to reverse direction and admit he made a mistake. Half the battle to success, sometimes, is being able to rectify mistakes and move forward instead of staying with the first choice to the bitter end. We don't know how this will pan out, but I'm giving him credit for the change-up for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 If anything I think this is not a positive sign for our coaching staff....they had 7 months to evaluate the QBs.

There is a HUGE difference between training camp and preseason, and actual, live football. I wasn't at training camp. But I did watch the preseason games. I don't remember Edwards getting anything given to him, and I didn't see Fitz struggling to get snaps and make plays. Fitz has thus far been a career backup. He's accustomed to coming in cold. only now he'll have time to prepare. I don't see how this is any way a knock on the abilities of the coaching staff. If you want to take your frustration out on someone, please use your common sense and not take it out on the new guy. He's doing the best with what he has been handed. If you want to take shots on somebody who IS responsible for the current plight of the Bills, perhaps Tom Modrak might need to be reminded to retire as he has clearly sucked for the past decade. And man, is our roster loaded with young talent set to take the reins.... Yeah, that's right, I'm commending him for doing something that needed to be done.

We don't know how this will pan out, but I'm giving him credit for the change-up for now. I agree. Any one of Gailey's predecessors would have hung on to Trent for atleast another 4 weeks. Switching quickly is an intelligent decision. But then there's the reality...I don't know that Fitz will fare any better. Modrak must be fired!

Chandler#81 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) On MNF Countdown, in response to QB changes in Oakland, Tennessee, Jax, Carolina, Philly and us, Berman just noted "I can't belive there's this much QB changing and the calendar still says summer!" Grim times indeed! For the record, I say Start Brohm. He'll likely be the only QB returning next year so give him the season and let's see what he's got.

Big Turk Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Around the league this weekend , I saw Oakland (win) and Tennessee (rally) bench their starters and I thought, our starter is worse. Why isn't he being benched? And now he is. Thank you Chan for having a pair. Now get the ball to Lee Evans! I think Fitz will give the offense a lift. They can't be much worse. At least Fitz is going to throw the ball and throw it deep...might not be on target or get picked off, but I am pretty sure we won't see anymore 4th and 11 plays where the QB runs out of bounds after gaining 2 yards...
