Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I say yes. Holcomb has no chance. But I would have felt much better if Nall was the starter.
Phlegm Alley Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I'd say it really can't help him considering he needed as many snaps as possible during camp. If he misses the next two weeks because of this, I don't think Nall would be able to contribute until midseason.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Yeah, it won't help. Any missed time will set him back.
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted July 29, 2006 Author Posted July 29, 2006 Yeah, it won't help. Any missed time will set him back. 731395[/snapback] Not unless the coaches like him a lot and he shows more enthusiasm towards the job than Losman and Holcomb. (boy I hope the sentence was grammatically correct. )
Mike32282 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I don't think it will make a difference unless Holcomb steps it up. He has looked awful imo and his passes look very flat. I personally feel that this injury upsets Jauron a lot because the QB competition is mainly between Losman and Nall.
Albany,n.y. Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I know it's only day 2 of camp, but all reports are he's been the worst of the 3. He's done nothing so far to think he has a chance to be anything but 3rd string. If the injury is anything significant, he's not only out of the starter's job, but has no chance at #2. That said, he'll be 3rd stringer this year, when healthy, & if he can't get to 2nd string by 2007 it's sayonara. He's not looking like a good signing right now.

He's not looking like a good signing right now. 731405[/snapback] IMO, that's not true at all. Holcomb has been the worst by far. Today he made horrible throws that showed his arm strength has gotten worse. Nall had some good throws, but just like Holcomb and Losman, he sucked today too. All three quarterbacks were awful this afternoon. Hopefully Losman kicks it up a notch.
cantankerous Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I think Holcomb has a sissy arm and is accurate and smart with decisions, while Losman has a cannon and makes awful decisions. We're pretty much screwed I think... Nall may have just tweaked his hammy but it'll definitely hurt his starting chances. Hopefully it isn't too bad and he can get back in there quickly. I don't have much confidence in Losman or Holcomb.

Wow, i'm glad your not my boss. two days and nall is already a bust.

What WGR said was JP looked the best until he threw the INT to Greer, and then went into a funk-I guess it carried over to this afternoon. They had nothing good to say about Nall. Their next broadcast is tommorrow morning at 10, so I'll check out their take on Nall's afternoon-unless 1)they're unavailable on line again, or 2)they decide to talk only about the Sabres

I don't have much confidence in Losman or Holcomb. 731409[/snapback] Holcomb's noodle arm isn't helping his decisions either. He had at least 3 INTs or close to INTs if the DBs could hang on.

Marv & Dick have already cut some guys based on minicamp, & Minnesota cut A.J.'s son Kyle Smith, before camp even began. So I don't think I'm being that harsh.

I don't know why, but he has never said much positive about him.
eSJayDee Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 It depends on the severity of the injury. There's a 'tweek', where you should take it easy for a couple of days. Being a QB although it might hamper him some, it wouldn't even prevent him from fully partaking in practice. At the other end of the spectrum is the 'having trouble limping for weeks', which would effectively remove him from starting QB contention. Not having seen the incident, I would assume that it's more likely toward the minor side, in which case, there's ample opportunity to continue to observe him equally w/ the the other candidates.
Orton's Arm Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 I think Holcomb has a sissy arm Who're you calling a sissy? I really hope Nall recovers quickly, so that he can be given a fair chance to compete for the starting spot.
Mike32282 Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Not really, its JPs job to lose 731434[/snapback] I agree. But he better step it up. Right now he's still letting his mistakes bother him too much and thats not good, because he did that last season.
cantankerous Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Not really, its JPs job to lose 731434[/snapback] If he keeps trying to do too much he will lose it.
Mike32282 Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 If he keeps trying to do too much he will lose it. 731446[/snapback] to Nall.
cantankerous Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 It seems like Losman has a bad habit of trying to make the huge play instead of being a bit more conservative and just making sound decisions. The big plays will come, he just needs to be more patient in my opinion. Turnovers will kill this year...we need to keep them down to a minimum.
