Celtic_soulja Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 It will be Brown vs Brohm for the final roster spot. Neither will start. At least someone here has some sense... Ewards will start, Fitzy will back him up, and Levi Brown or Brohm will be the project third stringer...IMO it will be Levi Brown...I am high on this guy...after this season it will be decision time...third years are always make or break years for QB's...if Edwards impresses and we win this season...I think they resign him...if it's more deer in headlights...he's gone and they see what they got with Levi...that's just basically how it goes...well on regular teams...anything can happen...we are in fact the Bills
Geno Smith's Arm Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 None of them should start honestly cuz they all suck. I hope we have MARSHAWN/FRED/CJ backfield sh*t they can all throw who need a crappy qb. Chan "fu*king" Gailey can make up a new offense with no QB... That's why they wanted Tebow.
Green Lightning Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 He isn't going to. Edwards has already been benched by TWO head coaches. Gailey isn't stupid, Edwards is not going to start. Sorry Ice. My gut tells me they are going to give TE the benefit of the doubt on the chance that Jauron and bad OC's ruined the guy. You may be right (some other thread I think) you'll see a lot of checkdowns to Spiller, but that could be productive. I am getting more adept at reading Chan and Buddy and I think they believe TE is not done yet. Unless we see Brohm blossom right quick, I'm predicting TE behind center against Miami.
RalphW Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Edwards is a kitty and isn't what Nix and Gailey said they wanted in a QB. He will end up being the one cut. They know what they have in Fitz, solid #2/#3. They drafted Brown to develop him, watch the post draft presser. You can tell by how they talk about him they expect good things. That leaves Brohm. I still have a really tough time putting any faith in someone that can't even make a roster and who wasn't brought onto a team from Green Bay's practice squad except Russ Friggin Brandon. That said...as much as I don't like Brohm, I am more than willing to see what happens in the competition between him and Brown and will back whomever of the two Gailey picks. but someone please give me something besides friggin college stats to make me feel better about Brohm. No chance Edwards is cut. He will be starting qb week 1.
jack_spikes Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Edwards is the QB, and Gailey's the coach, and if you don't like it, you can get out of town!
Mr. WEO Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 At least someone here has some sense...

I can fix that---watch the YOUTUBE video someone posted on the original Levi Brown thread. He has a great "uncle Rico" release and relies on acrobatic WRs to pull his errant balls from the sky. The rest is a lot of Chinese fire drill-broken play-run for your life JPL scrambling. I challenge you to watch the whole awful clip.

uncle flap Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 No one here knows what the coaching staff is looking for in a QB, we all have to wait and see. Right on. Since Gailey is known for tailoring an offense to his players' strengths, who knows who will be the best fit. Outside of Fitz, you can argue any of the other guys has the most natural talent (and I know we will), so it's going to come down to whose particular skill set fits in with our other players. Is mobility going to be a higher priority than release? Is arm strength going to be more important than reading the defense? We don't know so I know I'm interested to see what Chan and Co. come up with and I think when all is said and done one of our guys will come out head and shoulders above the rest, at least in terms of how they fit into our particular scheme. And in regards to Gailey tailoring an offense to his player's strengths, the QB that becomes the starter is going to be the one that compliments our intended uses of Spiller et al. The QB position won't be a strong point no matter who is under center, so I don't see the new system demanding a lot out of the position.
Mr. WEO Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 +1 for an Uncle Rico reference It's true. I've never been one to judge "throwing mechanics", but this guy looks bizarre! Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if Brohm is the next long term (doesn't mean much for the Ralphs) QB.

I could not disagree more. Brown is a project and no way does he push for a starting role. IMO he is likely to end up on the practice squad. Brohm then plays into a three man race with TE and Fitz. Perhaps a new coaching staff gives TE a lift. If not my guess is that Fitz starts. Brohm is a dark horse, he will have to have a huge camp and preseason to take the starting job. I just think Fitz and TE have too much game experience. We'll see - at least there will be competition.
HurlyBurly51 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Trent Edwards is your starting Bills QB. The coaching staff clearly expressed confidence in him by not drafting his replacement.
Leonidas Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 WEO - link? Edwards will be the starter, no question. I'm not sure what he's lacking at this point, to be honest. He seems okay at the beginning of seasons, then loses it. He looked good in '08 until Arizona and even looked good vs. SD. Then he looked good last year vs. NE and TB...then, nothing. Seems like he loses his confidence too easily and we haven't really had the line or the coaching to help him out. Not saying he's the answer, but he's a lot closer to it than anyone else on this roster. A lot of you people are going to be sad when Brohm gets cut. It's unlikely we carry 4 QB's into the regular season, so unless he shows something significant (this being his third season now as a highly-touted second round draft choice), my money says he's gone.
Thoner7 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I see Fitz being the one gone. Brohm and Brown are young, Trent has been very good in some games and never had a coach, Fitz has nothing to offer over the other guys except more experience. If they are really rebuilding they wont put much thought into fitz's experience
Doc Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 You're high on Levi? I can fix that---watch the YOUTUBE video someone posted on the original Levi Brown thread. You should thank the OP of that thread for pointing out the existence of Brown before the Bills drafted him.
Gotta Dream Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I see Fitz being the one gone. Brohm and Brown are young, Trent has been very good in some games and never had a coach, Fitz has nothing to offer over the other guys except more experience. If they are really rebuilding they wont put much thought into fitz's experience I agree here. Fitz can sometimes get it downfield, but he was not spectacular in any part either.
DarthICE Posted April 25, 2010 Author Posted April 25, 2010 Edwards is beyond done he also isn't the QB that Nix and company said they want. He isn't a leader and he sure as hell doesn't have the Arm they said they wanted in a QB. Edwards has been benched by TWO coaching staffs already and if they thought he was the answer he would have been named the starter already. He lost his job last year and sucked most of the year before. Gailey and company aren't going to waste their time trying to polish a turd. It will be Brohm if anyone starting against Miami out of the 3 that were here before the draft.
DarthICE Posted April 25, 2010 Author Posted April 25, 2010 And one more thing, doesnt' ralph need to sell some tickets? No way in hell can he sell **** with Edwards at QB. Ralph remembers the boos when Edwards went in then the cheers when he got hurt. Edwards never should have been a starter in the NFL. as for this bull **** about he did well before the concussion, no the TEAM did pretty well going 4-0 then went to **** after that. Edwards is what he is and that is a checkdown, scared kitty that Dick Jauron loved. That right there is enough to punt kick him off this roster. If anyone, it will be Brohm.
Doc Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I agree that Brohm and Brown should be given every opp to win the starting job. We've seemingly seen the best of Edwards and Fitzpatrick. But I'm not going to advocate cutting them before pre-season ends, lest by some miracle Gailey IS able to make something of either or both of them.
DarthICE Posted April 26, 2010 Author Posted April 26, 2010 Let me add a few things... First, It was reported to Mort (bastard) that this staff is going to give Brohm a real shot at becoming the man. Second, Nix was here to see how bad Edwards sucked. He watched two coaches bench his ass. He has seen him in practice, he has all the film on him, he knows he isn't what we need. I would really like to know what rating Nix had on Brohm coming out. I can't help but feel this staff wants Brohm to win this job and is going to be given every opportunity to win it. That said I really think from watching gailey and nix talk about Brown, he is their long term guy. Either way, Edwards is done.
