Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 http://www.billsdaily.com/news/index.shtml#090706 Holcomb No. 2: Dick Jauron announced today that Kelly Holcomb will be the number two quarterback this week when the Bills take on the Patriots. It is not immediately known if Jauron will make his decisions week by week or if Holcomb has won the number two job for the foreseeable future. I'm surprised. I thought Nall would be #2.

BuckeyeBill Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Nall has a lot to learn. Next year Nall will be our number 2.
keepthefaith Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Nall has a lot to learn. Next year Nall will be our number 2. 764081[/snapback] Yes, and at this early stage, nobody should be the slightest bit surprised.
H2o Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Hopefully JP plays well and is injury free so neither of them see the field.
RochBillsFan Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 do you think that, by making him #2, that it increases his trade value to Indy?
generaLee83 Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 do you think that, by making him #2, that it increases his trade value to Indy? 764097[/snapback] That would be about the only reason to have him at #2 IMO. Nall has the hunger right now and limiting his snaps/participation in practice isn't going to help anyone. Holcomb just doesn't seem to have it anymore and he's also nearing retirement age (nothing against the man but it's near the same situation as Troy Vincent, it's just getting to be time to move on) Nall was given a very decent amount of money to be #3? Was Jauron quoted as saying that Holcomb played well in the last 2 preseason games? If I'm not mistaken Holcomb didn't take 1 snap in the 3rd game.
I 90 Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 That would be about the only reason to have him at #2 IMO. . 764248[/snapback] Another would be that he is more ready and able to do the immediate backup job. It would be interesting to see who they would turn to should J. P. be injured for a long stretch. HORRIFYING but interesting. .
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted September 7, 2006 Author Posted September 7, 2006 do you think that, by making him #2, that it increases his trade value to Indy? 764097[/snapback] No. From what Espn and from what the Bills are saying, they won't trade Holcomb.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Between Losman, Holcomb and Nall combined, the Bills are very likely in the bottom third of salaries for the quarterback position. At least 3rd and maybe 4th in the division.

I didn't think Nall looked that awful during the PS however.
