3rd team wasn't a charm -
Imagine if we still had Brad Butler

I get it now -
Abdul Hodge would be a nice addition at MLB
-
I'd like to see the Bills go after someone like Travis Havner.
-
So tell me when getting cut is a good thing.

Rotoworld: Josh Reed, Ko Simpson released
John Cocktosten replied to Arkady Renko's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Reed was lucky to stay with the Bills as long as he did. Another brilliant move by Marv, bidding against himself to keep Reed. -

I'd put her in the "Hoggin" category. -

Nice. Hopefully there is a nice Barolo or Brunello awaiting that sauce. Had a nice Kabinett tonight followed by an old school Toro. Ya see, we have a lot more in common than just our football opinions! -

That's what I said. Newsflash, as long as the Colts have Peyton, they are a playoff team. They were a playoff team without Edge, Glenn, Harrison, Meadows too. Listen bud, Billy Bong Thorton is calling. This is getting old and you're a little ornery tonight. Get that fix and we'll talk soon. -

Injuries never played into the argument and you know that. Did you remember Sanders winning the defensive MVP that year? BTW, Donte lost his job to a WR last year. But don't worry, he'll be a Pro Bowler this year! -

I don't know, I read it. Packers Give Up On Brian Brohm, QB Signs With Buffalo The Green Bay Packers have officially given up on quarterback Brian Brohm, whom general manager Ted Thompson selected with a second round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Brohm was signed off the Packers practice squad by the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, and despite having an open roster slot after releasing receiver Jake Allen earlier in the day, the Packers simply decided to let Brohm go. http://www.totalpack...on-brian-brohm/ Packers let Brohm go without a fight Nov 19, 2009 -- 8:45am GREEN BAY – The Packers did indeed lose quarterback Brian Brohm to the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday night, but they didn’t make an effort to keep him, either.The practice-squad quarterback and 2007 second-round pick received a two-year deal from the Bills to join their 53-man roster, but an NFL source said Thursday morning that the Packers did not make the same offer to Brohm to keep him. The source also said that the release of wide receiver Jake Allen earlier Wednesday was not a move made to create room on the 53-man roster for Brohm. http://www.espnmilwa...20&post_id=1317 -

You're so mean tonight! Aren't you the same guy who said that Donte is more important to the Bills D than Bob Sanders is to the Colts? Yep, that was you! I'll take it as a compliment when a career stoner questions my judgment/logic. -

I didn't mention Brown in any of my posts. Now now Deano. The Purple Haze is supposed to make you mellow and peaceful, however it will cloud your judgment. -

I love when you play the post-police. It's been a while. If he played well I would be the first one to sing his praises. Actually, I thought he would be out Trent. Not only did he not beat out Trent, he never gave himself a shot and he's sitting by his phone tonight hoping he doesn't get a call while Fitzy sleeps like a baby. -

First, I'm going to trust an organization's opinion who has the best track record of developing QB's. They developed Warner, Brunell and Aaron Brooks, Not to mention Favre and Rodgers. So I think they know a thing or two about QB's. Secondly, not one team jumped on him when he was waived. To me, that is yet another indictment of Brohm's skills. Not even the Raiders considered him and they take on more than Ellis Island. Lastly, his play has been exactly what I suspected, underwhelming. So your fantasy scenerio is completely irrelevant. His upside is as limited as the Packers thought it was when they let him walk. Again, he had a huge opportunity and a clean slate. He failed and was beaten out by 2 QB's who wouldn't start for 31 other NFL teams. -

So when a team has depth at a position, the last player in becomes expendable regardless of talent? Even in your bong haziest of hazes you can't believe that. What have you seen of him that I haven't? I watched the Atlanta game and the preseason games that he was allowed to play in this year. I saw a guy with a future as a backup and thats about it. He was beatin out badly by a very mediocre Qb in Trent and another underwhelming career backup in Fitz. Keep the hope alive Deano. Your imagination is on full tonight. -

Okay, then tell me the last time a Qb was let go less than 2 years after be a high pick......seems like a fact to me. -

I would but you're wrong. There is not a QB who was drafted that high who gets cut before the start of his second year. Why? Because teams know that it takes rookie QB's more time than any other position so they must be patient. GB thought so much of Brohm that cut him before his 2nd year in football...what an endorsment of his skills. The other reason teams hold onto QB's for so long is trade value down the line. Much like what the Chargers did CW this year. However, GB knew that he would be nothing and so did most of the NFL when they passed on him when their waiver # came up. Seriously, you're arguing a point that makes no sense and is based on nothing but your opinions. -

Seriously, you gottta give this up. There is simply no presidence for this happening to a QB who was drafted that high. QB's are in a class of there own and THE most valuable players on every NFL team (except Buffalo). -

I gotta agree with you on this. Re: The articles: It does look like these reports conflict a bit but again, if they wanted him and looked at him as a future talent, they would have found a way to keep him and there is simply no way to argue that (not saying that thats your point). Either way, Brohm had an enormous opportunity with a new regime/playbook and he didn't impress. I would say he failed becuase he was beaten out by Trent and even worse, Fitz. -
