Orton's Arm Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 if he is such a good starter WHY did he end up on the bills . seems to me if he is the football god you think he is , holcomb would have been picked up by some ot her team . i think his only offer was by the bills ? 641041[/snapback] Not sure where you got the impression I think Holcomb's a football god. I've written he's better than about 1/3 of the starters in the league: guys like Boller, Fielder, etc. As for why he didn't garner more interest, maybe he's not suited to some teams' style of offense, while others might be looking for younger players, while the rest are set (or think they are) at the QB position. Besides all this, his QB rating here in Buffalo is higher than the one he produced in Cleveland, showing that his play has probably improved. I'm open to the possibility Craig Nall will prove himself a better QB than Holcomb. The Bills have a choice: do they go with the savvy vet in Holcomb, or the young guy with upside in Nall? Edit: I left out their third option, which is to find a QB in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Kelly Holcomb = A Commitment To Mediocrity Then we can bring aboard appropriate sponsers of Medicocrity like Ford, RCA, The Dollar Store, Dennys, Geico, Genny Light and the New York Lottery. Yup. We're happy with settling. On 3rd and 9, we'll take the 3 yard out on the sidelines every time and clap our hands with Kelly as our punter runs onto the field.

tennesseeboy Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 If Marv didn't think Losman would be the starter at the contract he is commanding, I think Marv would have let him go or tried to trade for a late (very late) draft choice. Marv kept Losman...Marv's paying a starter's salary to Losman...Losman is starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dog14787 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I can't say who is going to start, but if I wake up opening week and find out Holcomb is the starter for my team, I am going to kill someone. The dude isn't starter material unless he's playing against some stupid-ass team with no defense. He's a career backup and that is it. Plain and simple. Define waste of time: letting Holcomb compete for the starting QB position for any team. 639332[/snapback] My opinion also, Holcomb is a good backup at best. don't get me wrong , I like him , but I'm hoping J.P. Losman wins the Job. Thats an awful cute pic LABillzFan!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dog14787 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 poles ??? 641048[/snapback] It doesn't surprise me that Losman is The heavy favorite, its nice to see. The kid has potential! His accuracy on the run resembles Vicks. Also the way he handled himself last year says alot. Hes had a tough time of it and has handled it like a man. I wonder if he knows theres alot of fans out there that believes in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1TN Bills Fan Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 If Losman does not win the starting job, then Nall will. Think about it, do we really think that KH has a strong enough arm to get us to the playoffs? I think he's a fine backup, but just isn't starting material in this stage of his career. Plus, we need to go with the future. We do not have a playoff caliber team this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBilliever Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Do I have vision problems or am I seeing that none of you have Holcomb as being good. Let's see... JP... 1-7... Kelly Holcomb... 4-4... Interesting. If you count the game where JP came in for KH (Was that the KC game?) that gives him a little more... but I beg to differ. With near identical amounts of time to prove something, HOLCOMB PRODUCED. I'm not saying he's good, I'm not saying he's great, but he gets the job done. I'll get ripped for this, but the guy's got something. If anything, he'll be a great mentor for Nall. I look as JP being the lesson, Holcomb being the mentor, and Jauron giving the evil eye to get Nall the starting spot. He's big, he's got a good arm, and I think he'll do good things.

He's the only QB of the three selected with input from the new coaching staff. Fairchild's offense requires a certain type of QB, and maybe Nall is a better fit for this than either Holcomb or Losman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a world-beater, but he IMO played the best he could. Yes, he made mistakes - what qb doesn't? I'm of the mind that a good number of teams would be happy to have him at the #2 spot.
