Pennsyl-tucky Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Now this is reported as a possibility mind you, so don't shoot the messenger. Found this on Rotoworld.com: Report: Bills may make quarterback change NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Bills will likely reconsider their quarterback situation during the Week 8 bye. Allowing Losman to finish out the season would make the most sense looking towards the future. If the Bills want to win now, Kelly Holcomb might be the better choice. Craig Nall also is hanging around. Giving up on Losman almost certainly would mean Buffalo will address the situation in the 2007 offseason. Oct. 23 - 12:21 am et

Oct. 23 - 12:21 am et 813940[/snapback] If the Bills go to Holcomb, this is a total step in the wrong direction. If they decide to give up on Losman, at least try and find out what we have in Nall. We know what we have in Holcomb, and it isn't much.
MattyT Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 As this is written, it is the reporters own opinion and doesn't appear to be based on any sort of information from OBD. It is logical to think that a team that is unsuccessful would consider changing their QB...especially when they have someone with experience on the bench. But until I hear it from OBD then it is nothing but speculation. Not shooting the messenger....just working the body a little bit.

He will make the line look better, because he makes quicker decisions, and the fact that he can't throw over defenses. It will bring the TE and screens into play, and make us competative week in and week out. However Holcomb is not the answer. We are going nowhere as long as he is the QB.
JDG Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 As this is written, it is the reporters own opinion and doesn't appear to be based on any sort of information from OBD. 813957[/snapback] Is this the same guy at the NFL Network who was the only man in the country to put Donte Whitner for the Bills in his mock draft? Or was that someone else? JDG

He will never be better than that. 813961[/snapback] For the record, I am absolutely against putting in Holcomb at QB after the bye week. But, I should point out that Kelly Holcomb rung up 33 points on the Pittsburgh Steelers *in Pittsburgh* and *in the playoffs.* Holcomb isn't the future at this point, but I think that people are a little too hard on him for what he was able to do in his prime.....

JDG 813988[/snapback] hahahahaa his prime. Holcomb has had exactly 2 good statistical games in his career, both losses, and people think he's the second coming of rich gannon.

bluv Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Yeah he made this comment last night toward the end of the NFL highlight show on the NFL Network when the questins came up about JP and the Bills and Brunell and the Redskins. I think that as some have suggested these comments have no weight and are just Adam guessing and pondering. There is NO WAY the Bills would go with Holcomb this season. While JP hasn't played good enough to overcome this team flaws and win games he certainly isn't the only one to blame in the losses.
Dan Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 But, I should point out that Kelly Holcomb rung up 33 points on the Pittsburgh Steelers *in Pittsburgh* and *in the playoffs.* 813988[/snapback] Friggin hilarious! I really mean that. I laughed good. Good stuff man. Good stuff.
loadofmularkey Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 This is opinion and speculation and should be treated as such. "If the Bills want to win now??" Uh Adam, my man, they're 2-5. Most of us in WNY aren't dreaming Super Bowl dreams, let alone playoff dreams, Kelly Holcomb or not.
rolly Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 SO dumb if they do that. The season is pretty much over at this point. No way they win 10 or 11 games, unless craig nall is that good where he can win every game. keep losman in there.
BuffOrange Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 While JP hasn't played good enough to overcome this team flaws and win games he certainly isn't the only one to blame in the losses. 814001[/snapback] This statement is true of basically every QB benching in NFL history.
Reed83HOF Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Kelly is a joke....either ride it with JP or Nall...the team will be young for the forseeable future...lets give the young Qbs the shot
Mile High Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Enter Holcomb or Nall then find out how bad the oline really is........

Oct. 23 - 12:21 am et 813940[/snapback] I doubt this is anything but wild speculation on his part. Benching JP now would be a mistake IMO. There are a lot of young players on the team that need experience. Let them play.
TheMadCap Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Right. Cause we all know Adam Shiester is never wrong...
