zer0vette Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Brohm is Edwards three years ago. I don't want to go through it again. I'll take it! For one year. I don't think anyone is saying Brohm should be the franchise QB
wardigital Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 I'll take it! For one year. I don't think anyone is saying Brohm should be the franchise QB In my opinion, Fitzpatrick gives us the best chance to win games for one year, if that's all you're looking for is one year.
Thunderstealer Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Can Brohm throw on the move? Pocket passers will fail on this team.
JPS Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) From INACTIVE to starter. Only on this board does this make sense to someone. You know what, I'm not doing anything on Sunday. I'm 6'3 205 and I can throw the ball a mile. Maybe I can start too. If QB is the problem and we have a better option, he will play. Edited September 20, 2010 by JPS
Alphadawg7 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Not even going to read this thread because there is literally not one logical reason to not start Brohm, or even Fitz, at this point. I mean, its pretty clear we are rebuilding, so keeping Trent out there, who is clearly NOT a starter in the NFL does absoulutely NOTHING to advance the development of this rebuilding process. Trent has played his way out of his job, so lets give the one guy on our roster with any hope of upside/future a shot with our starters and see if he can spark the offense. There is no way he could actually be worse as Trent barely has 200 yards over 2 games, 1 TD, and 2 official INT's even though he threw 2 more against Mia that hit their DB's right in the hands and just flat out dropped saving Trents azz. Makes way more sense to try and develop our player with upside then trot our this joke of a QB named Trent...
earthtobrint Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Ryan Fitzpatrick was just announced as the starter fifteen minutes ago. Time to start the "Bench Fitz for Brohm" campaign.
Rob's House Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Simply put: Brohm can go deep. When you're a running team it's important that you keep the D honest and 5 yard check downs don't do that. Plus, when your specialty is 3 and out, you ought to go deep more often. The worst that can happen is you get picked and getting picked 40-50 yds deep is about the same as a punt, which you were going to do anyway.
Ozymandius Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Even if you think Brohm has potential, you don't want to see him start until about midseason because you want the offensive line to gel a little bit first (in the case of our o-line, "gelling" probably means going from awful to just bad). Otherwise, Brohm will get hurt or has no chance of success. Personally I don't have high hopes for Brohm so I don't care either way. Edited September 20, 2010 by Ozymandius
DrFishfinder Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 There is absolutely no entertainment value in watching the Bills "play" football. They are currently led by a Dick Jauron clone and I'd like to have a reason to turn on Bills games moving forward. The year they went 3-13 (I believe it was 2003..?) I watched every game, because I was interested in seeing who would be a player in the future. I'd never imagine that 7 years later, I'd still be waiting for a competitive team. Here is why I am FOR starting Brian Brohm: He may not currently be better than Edwards, though this is debatable, but he has something that Edwards lacks - the ability to improve. Edwards has over 30 career starts, while Brian Brohm has a single career start. One. If I am going to watch a team fail and fail miserably, I don't want to see the team being led by a 4th year, emotionless player, who looks worse than most rookies. Brian Brohm was a highly successful collegiate player, who has yet to transfer those skills to the NFL level. With extended playing time, he would sink or swim as a starter and we'd know for sure what we have in him. For those already chalking him up as a failure, allow him multiple starts to prove, or disprove himself, before being absolutely sure in your assertion. He seemed to make quick decisions in the preseason and also threw a nice football. I realize that our OL is a siege, but a quicker decision maker could do a lot to mask OL deficiencies. Edwards may be the slowest decision maker in the entire NFL. He is also the most reluctant QB to throw down the field and "throw open" his WRs. Give Brohm his shot, thereby giving me a reason to watch this team, this season. Doubtful unless Fitz goes down and Chan has thrown Edwards completely under the bus.
Kevin Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Against, the future QB for the Bills is NOT on the roster. Suck it up this year, and get the first pick in the draft. Then get your future QB.

BuffaloBill Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 I would like to see Brohm play simply because it needs to be determined if he is NFL caliber. Fitz is what he is and offers no upside. Brohm only has upside - question is how much?
bladiebla Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 I'm for, for the simply reason that if we allready know Ftiz isnt the answer either. Rather invest in Brohms upside then in Fitz his medicrity tbh.
