Albany,n.y.

If Gailey wins 3 or 4 does that make Jauron/Fewell geniuses? Our schedule is much tougher than last season, we have one proven WR and no TEs. Spiller can't do it all by himself.

#1 next year?

The only thing I'm surprised at is the number of people here who couldn't see Fitz was always going to be here & be no worse than #2 QB on the depth chart.

Do you mean Lake Bell, the actress who has been on Boston Legal & most recently How To Make It in America?

The map shows Albany getting the Bills game. For me it doesn't matter because I'll be at the game

How's Graham Harrell doing? Cut more times than Nicole & Ron.

The teams who watched the tape of Thursday's game were surprised the guy was even drafted, and the Bills, after watching the tapes were pissed that they drafted him. Anyone who questions the Bills judgement just has to look at Brown's performance in the Lions game. He Marangi'd any chance he had. When he calms down he should try to get himself to the UFL before there are no jobs left there either. Brohm has been there throughout camp and did enough to make the team. Why bring in Smith? LeFevour was claimed on waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals, so he's not available.

Claimed by the Bengals, from KFFL: Bengals | Dan LeFevour claimed Comment (0) Sun, 05 Sep 2010 11:21:54 -0400 The Cincinnati Bengals have announced they have claimed free-agent QB Dan LeFevour (Bengals) off waivers. Read more: http://www.kffl.com/hotw/NFL?page=1#ixzz0yhNrlsdU

These guys all get a shot with free agency. A good example is Shaun Hill, who is now Detroit's #2. He was on the bench in Minnesota & got his chance after he left for SF. Besana actually got his shot in the USFL after the Bills let him go, he was the starting QB for the Oakland Invaders the 1st 2 years of the league, but in the 3rd & final year, the Invaders merged with the Michigan Panthers and Besana ended up backing up Bobby Hebert.

The open competition was in mini-camp, it was for the coaches & players involved, it was not changed during preseason and it was not for the fans to see their favorite QB play with the starters. People seem to forget that when Chan arrived, Ryan Fitzpatrick was #1 on the depth chart, not Trent Edwards. Edwards showed enough in mini-camp to get the edge on the depth chart, Levi Brown showed the least & was dropped from any further consideration once camp opened. The order didn't change in camp & preseason, mainly because Edwards continued to outplay all the other guys, as confirmed by our camp visitors who posted their observations here. Edwards earned the right to start every preseason game, Brohm did not-it's as simple as that. Also if Trent goes down or sucks, Fitzpatrick will get 1st crack at starting, not Brohm.

I think virtually every QB gets his chance sooner or later. That's because teams are always looking to get maximum value out of their backups. While the hit rate isn't that great on traded QBs, it's no worse than a mid 1st round QB. We have the Robs, but we also get the Schaubs and Brunells who have productive careers after being traded away from the team that they were backups on. Brady would have taken over for Bledsoe sooner or later because he was their best QB in camp in 2001. Between preseason & practice, all QBs get enough of a look that sooner or later their talent is recognized. Likewise, guys like Gary Marangi eventually get the opportunity to show how bad they are & are quickly out of the league as soon as they are exposed.

Parcells is a great head coach, he's not coaching the Dolphins. He'll be in the HOF for his coaching, not his front office abilities. White was one of the stupidest draft picks last year. Who spends a 2nd rounder on a QB whose only ability is to run a wildcat offense? Wildcat offenses work better with a RB who can hit an occasional throw, not a wildcat QB. Ronnie Brown was already their wildcat QB, it was a totally wasted pick.

Bingo! Ever since Brohm got here there has been a group that has been clamoring for him to become the starter. I also think that many, obviously not all, were the same ones telling us "JP got screwed" back in 2007. Some of the rest are guys who liked him in college & think his college game can equate in the same way to the NFL. All this time they've spun things like a top. They've made more excuses why he is so much better than he actually is. The Trent haters are bad enough, but the worst ones are the anti-Fitzpatrick crowd who have been insisting all offseason Fitzpatrick would get cut, which when you look at the way he won with little last season, defied all logic. The majority of the Fitz is getting cut crowd broke into 2 groups-the Ralph is too cheap for the #2 QB to be the highest paid, by far, QB on the roster & the Fitz isn't pretty enough on the field group. Now from my posts, some would consider me anti-Brohm, but in reality it's his fanatics who are driving me crazy, not Brohm himself. All Brohm has done since he got here is work hard & try-I have nothing against that. Here's what I think is a fair assessment of Brohm: He's nowhere nearly as good as his fans think he is. Right now he's 3rd string for a reason, Fitzpatrick & Edwards are better NFL QBs today than Brian Brohm. Can Brohm improve? Maybe, but no QB drafted as highly as Brohm who was cut in his 1st contract has ever amounted to much, so the odds are against him. His biggest strength is his ability to stand in & hit short passes-sort of a poor man's Trent Edwards. His biggest weakness, one I haven't seen discussed by his fans-He is too inconsistant on his sidelines passes, the longer the throw the more inaccurate he gets. It appears that he does not have a good feel for what it takes to keep the ball inbounds. Too many sidelines passes are too far out of bounds for the receiver to get a pass completion that counts.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Record

http://www.profootballweekly.com/2010/09/04/uninspiring-presence-brings-leinart-down-in-desert Sound Familiar? His reluctance to throw the deep ball and tendency to instead settle for check-downs became a bright red flag that was impossible for Whisenhunt to ignore.

It's not the money! The reason none of these veteran players will come here is because they can choose which team to sign with & at this point in their careers, they want to sign with a contender, not a rebuilding team. Another reason from the Bills side and once again it's not about the money: why sign a stopgap veteran during a rebuilding year when you need to develop young players? IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BILLS BEING CHEAP!!!!!!

It's a pretty good deal for the PS players-they make over $80,000 if they last the season. How many 22-25 year olds are making over $80,000 after not getting the job they tried to get? That's for 17 weeks, less than 1/3 of the year.

Fassel must be happy, he gets his QB back in Las Vegas.

PS prediction: Brohm Anderson Hennessey Ramsey Harris (I don't know which one) Sargeant Jones Coleman

Jones didn't show much & will get cut too. David Nelson was the best rookie receiver this preseason & is a lock to make the team.

The bolded statement is oxymoronic, you have to cut Brown to get him on the PS. What if Chan was telling the truth yesterday and believes Brown has a future in the NFL? Why would he cut a player he believes could have a future just because he isn't ready in his rookie year? In 2000 the Patriots had drafted a QB in the 6th round who wasn't ready but they were afraid to expose him to waivers, so they kept 4 QBs that season. According to your post, they should have cut Brady in an attempt to put him on their PS & if he got claimed, they could just get another 6th round QB in 2001. Well in 2001 there were 2 6th round QBs-Josh Booty & Josh Heupel. Do you think the Patriots would have won even 1 Super Bowl with either Josh?

Right on both counts. It does appear that the JP crowd still can't get over his loss and latched on to Brohm. Anyone who compares throwing a baseball from the outfield to quarterbacking in the NFL has really reached deep into the excuse pile. The real answer will come if Brohm gets cut. If GB doesn't claim him on waivers,then they couldn't have had any long term interest in keeping him other than as an insurance policy last November, when it was too late to expect a practice squad player to learn their offense and be #2 if either of the top 2 went down for the rest of the season. If GB claims him off waivers, then their intentions were more along the lines of what the Brohm fans have been saying.

The coaches don't care that the guy dropped the ball & it got intercepted. They're not looking at stats. Brohm's not getting cut because a TE messed up on a well thrown ball. If he gets cut it will be because he lacks the accuracy that a starting NFL QB has at this point in is career. The biggest weakness I've seen in Brohm's game is his lack of ability to judge where to throw it where it stays inbounds on a sideline pass. If the coaches think they can work with him he stays, if they think Levi has better potential, then Brohm goes. The INT on his stat sheet is irrelevant-the decision makers saw the play & will review the film & will completely exonerate Brohm for the INT.

Because they thought he was better than Hamdan, he was brought in to replace Hamdan on the roster, not Edwards. Why wouldn't they want a guy with more upside than a guy who was destined to go to the CFL and retire before the season even began? Brohm makes sense as a developmental 3rd stringer, not a future starter. If Edwards fails the whole team fails & a 1st round QB is the future starter, not Brohm.

Here are the rules: Brohm cleared waivers in September, the Bills did not claim him. Once he cleared waivers he was free to sign with anyone, 53 man roster or practice squad. Obviously nobody was interested in having him on their 53 man roster last September because he cleared waivers & didn't sign with anyone else. Then GB offered him a spot on their practice squad and he accepted. Best case scenario-when they waived him GB told him if he cleared waivers they wanted him to sign and be on their practice squad. As a member of a practice squad, Brohm was basically a free agent who practiced with GB. He was free to sign a contract with any team willing to add him to their 53 man roster. When the Bills offered Brohm a contract he was free to sign with the Bills, he did not have to clear waivers a 2nd time.
