inkman Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Everywhere I turn I keep hearing how Holcomb should start if JP falters early on. Some people even want him to start outright over JP. Does anyone here feel that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick in* england Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 no no and no again Holcomb is a career backup with only a handful of good games to his name. he's not even a Trent Dilfer FFS! no way we win a superbowl with KH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Holcomb personally, but PLEASE don't pin your Super Bowl hopes on him. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 I think he has a career mark of 4-9 although I'm too lazy to actually look it up. Losman can look shakey but Holcomb is just not as talented. Hopefully JP can put all the naysayers to rest and this discussion will be moot.

Fezmid Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Holcomb .... only a handful of good games to his name. Which is a handful more than JPL has Just stirring the pot. Why the hell would anyone want KH to start?! Maybe if we're 0-8 I'd consider it, but even then it'd be doubtful. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I don't Kelly Holcomb is any worse than say...oh...Trent Dilfer (he might even be better...) But, I digress... I think JP is our man. KH should only be used in case of necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If *ANYONE* sucks up the field, they need to be benched for a few plays or a quarter or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Cleveland he was 5-7 and we know what a joke they have been for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 Did I say that? 433066[/snapback] No but you DID say that Holcomb lack of success could be attributed to his playing on horrible teams. Therefore he can play, right? So if you were saying he may be good then logic dictates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people even want him to start outright over JP. Does anyone here feel that way? 433004[/snapback] Do you honestly think Holcomb came here for less money and gave up a starting job in Cleveland to hold a clipboard? Don't kid yourself. If JP falters, Holcomb will start. The Bills are not going to flush another season like they did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
