Albany,n.y.

So every QB who has never been a starter has the potential to start & if we think he's a failure even after he sailed through waivers it's just plain stupid, WOW! Levi Brown is your next great hope. It's not stupid, uneducated BS when I can cite the fact that no player drafted as high or higher than Brohm has ever turned into a viable starter in the modern (post merger) history of the NFL who got waived on his rookie contract. You may still think it's BS, but it certainly isn't uneducated BS. I have the league history to back up my assumption, you have a pipedream that Brohm will be the 1st to do something. If anything is uneducated BS, it's assuming something that you HOPE will happen will happen even though it would be the 1st time EVER.

In a year or 2 they'll be dangling Wang looking for trade offers.

In my day I got an 1132 and 1140 and I scored 672 and 660 on math, so I know that it couldn't be out of 1000. I thought your Trent Edwards joke was pretty funny, but I'm originally from NYC, so maybe that's why I got it.

23 points gets us to 70. Do you think our D can hold the Jets under 23 points?

When the Bills are up by 20 on the Jets, the smart move would be to take Andrew Luck out & put in Fitzpatrick for the rest of the 4th quarter. If Fitzpatrick has a chance at a TD pass up by 20, let him take it because it might be the only chance that season.

66% of the fans here had Brohm starting opening day this offseason. When you pick up another team's trash QB, the new fans want him to start because they haven't seen the reason he was cut. They look at the guy they know and think anyone can play better until they see him in real games and the fantasy goes away. Around here, rooting for the unknown guy to start is a disease known as Marangi Syndrome.

Even though he was a backup, Frank Reich qualifies.

I've said it before, but if we get the top pick & a QB who the team thinks is worth it is there (Luck looks like the surest thing right now but might stay)you take him. That's because 6 of the 18 QBs taken #1 have won the Super Bowl as the starter at least once. 4 of them are multiple Super Bowl winners. Drew Bledsoe was on the bench when NE won in 2002, so technically 7 of 18 have Super Bowl rings. If you game me a 33% or better chance of winning a Super Bowl just by drafting the right player, compared with the 0% we currently have, I'm going to take that gamble. Now considering there are 5 more #1s who can still win a Super Bowl, although I have my doubts about Alex Smith, that 33% may end up being a low figure.

The whole premise is ridiculous, starting with the 1st paragraph conjectures. All you had to do was listen to Chan yesterday to know Brohm will get his chance this year. They're not going into the draft, never playing Brohm and not drafting a QB. It goes against everything getting rid of Edwards was all about. Do you really think 5 teams will have worse records than the Bills? Name them-but before you do, take a look at their schedules the rest of the year. Our's is very tough.

Rob Johnson's problem was always hanging onto the ball too long, which sooner or later results in injuries. The longer you hold onto the ball, the more you get hit. The week we acquired him I was originally against it because I noticed in his scouting reports & in his stats that he took way too many sacks, in fact, that week I started a post and titled it "Rob Johnson, the sacked man" Unfortunately I bought what Butler said & supported him. It turned out my original assessment was accurate. JP Losman's problems were he never had a feel for the game, couldn't read defenses and made too many stupid mistakes. Even when he played in the UFL against inferior competition, the same mental mistakes occurred. In the UFL he could hide them better because the game wasn't quite NFL speed. The fact he has now been jettisoned by 2 more NFL teams, confirms that he never had the ability to be a long term starter in the NFL. Trent Edwards just didn't have the courage to play QB in the NFL. I don't know whether it was from too many hits in college and the pros, which like Rob resulted in far too many injuries, or whether it was the concussion(s) that made him too fearful to be an NFL QB. It was obvious by the end of last season that, at best, Edwards was only a major reclamation project. I gave up on him last year when he replaced Fitzpatrick in his 2009 final appearance & immediately got injured again. Then once again with the preseason I gained hope, but I really knew he was just one of 3 backup QBs and it soon became apparent that Fitzpatrick is better than him. I think the major problem was scouting, not coaching. Good QBs don't get ruined by mediocre coaches. The Bills scouts liked QBs with major flaws in their games. It doesn't help a guy playing for different coordinators & QB coaches, but at the same time, it doesn't hurt them nearly as much as people think. If that was the case, then when JP was working with Fassel, Fassel would have saved him. In the end it was the same old JP, not damaged by Mularkey & Jauron, but just not good enough to begin with. Rob Johnson had some good coaching in Jacksonville before he came here and he still wasn't any good. You could tell Edwards anything you wanted on the sidelines & practice, but no coach could coach out the fear years of getting hit instilled in him.

McCargo-inactive every week, totally useless.

I'm thinking of taking my Edwards jersey & changing the name from Edwards to NEXT. I got it for free, wore it 2 times. 1st time I wore it Trent got benched before the next home game & I threw it in the back of the closet. 2nd time was opening day, benched & cut before the next home game. I better not wear it again.

Another Ralph is cheap post. The Bills have to pay Edwards for the whole season if he isn't claimed.

Sure looks like he won't be the unknown factor for much longer. Sink or swim time within a few weeks-my guess-the week after the bye if we don't beat Jacksonville.

The only team that I ever recall bringing 3 franchise QBs into camp was the Packers who had Favre, Brunell & Warner in the same camp along with Detmer who was far ahead of Warner on the depth chart. Every team would like a 2nd stringer who can win games when the starter goes down. Fitzpatrick proved last year & in prior years he can do that. You don't cut your backup just because he isn't franchise material. Come back next year when Fitzpatrick is the only QB still with the team.

A lot of them were from the Ralph is cheap crowd who figured that the team wouldn't pay a guy the going rate for a backup QB. They thought his play on the field wasn't pretty enough to suit their tastes. They ignored the fact that he was the only one who was around for all but one of last season's victories because they just couldn't shake the Ralph is cheap stuff from their heads. Most of us knew Fitzpatrick, the only one of the top 3 QBs signed past this season, wasn't going anywhere.

Other teams are finding good TEs in the mid rounds & we draft busts like the suspended Nelson,Fine,Schouman,Everett,Euhus, & O'Leary during the decade + of futility. NE drafts 2 rookie TEs in the 2nd & 4th & both are better already than anyone who has been here in many years. Last week we played GB who has a star TE (Finley) drafted in the 3rd round at pick 91 after we take Hardy at pick 41 & Ellis at pick 72. It wasn't like we weren't looking for a TE, we drafted Fine in the 4th that year.

In fairness to Chan, he looked up all those kids this morning and had them bash Edwards in Chan's office before Chan came in wearing a Donald Trump wig and said "You're fired!" The kids loved it.

Never heard that one, but I believe it's a 15 yard penalty for back to back TO's... Someone on the Patriots postgame said that, I don't know if they were right or not.

Only if they have someone in mind to become #3, and I seriously doubt it's Levi Brown. If they like a guy on someone's practice squad, they might do it. I don't see any reason why they'd consider a veteran unless they're waiting on Pittsburgh to dump Leftwich (this time for real) or Batch.

The only time you get a 5 yard penalty is when you do it in an attempt to ice a kicker.

It looks more like Carrington is being groomed to become the next Victor Allotey, although I think Allotey's inactive string is as untouchable as Joe Dimaggio's hitting streak.

Good teams don't lose 90% of the close games like bad teams do. When New Orleans loses enough close games to be contending for the top pick, get back to me on that one.

The point is that if we keep it close, don't think we're on the verge of even rising to mediocrity. There are a lot more people than you realize thinking we can be competitive and win more than 4 games just because Edwards is on the bench. Just look at all the people who thought we couldn't possibly win fewer games this year than last year due to the coaching change. Just trying to keep it real.

It surprised the Patriots radio team so much they were convinced it was a mistake & that Lindell either just missed the ball or the wind knocked it off as he was kicking. I forgot about this play when I posted how inept this duo of septugenarians is.
