I find zero joy in his struggles, but part of never starting is not being good enough to right? GB used a second round pick on him and wasn't bothered at all when he moved on.

 

 

Zero starts because he was behind Rogers. They were not overly concerned because Rogers turned out to be as good as they hoped. Plus I am guessing that being a second round pick it helped their salary cap when he moved on?

 

 

It is really hard for fans to judge a qb because we do not have access to coaching film or what plays were called and if the right routes were ran and so on.

You forgot 6th or 7th round draft pick Matt Flynn as well. He was behind Flynn too.

No, I didn't forget.

Nobody on here wants to see Brian fail. I don't understand what anyone would have to gain by him failing. The T fans just aren't used to seeing him struggle he is a high school and college legend in Lou, but on the big stage he is struggling. As I have said before I hope he gets anothe year or two to figure the professional game out.

Here's an interesting "conversation" regarding the Bills and Brian Brohm's performance against the Falcons:

 

Buffalo Bills Replay

 

Some interesting nuggets:

 

Leo: Well, it's sort of like assessing how a car missing its wheels drives. The kid had no blocking, no running game, lazy receivers and was handed a conservative game plan from the coaches. Engine runs, but the car isn't going anywhere.

 

Sal: Edwards' failures come from him having no ability to make plays downfield, so he checks off constantly and bores us to tears. Brohm's only been in this offense six weeks, he's hardly worked with the first-string, and he's never played in an NFL game. Yet I saw no difference in his play from Edwards' or even Ryan Fitzpatrick's, so that alone gives me reason to be encouraged. I suspect he will get better from here, at least I hope he does.

 

Leo: By the way, I can't let this pass. You must have loved Terrell Owens' lack of effort on that deep ball interception?

Sal: Yeah, great job on that. Way to battle, T.O. He tried to explain to us after the game how tough it is to stop on a dime on a play like that and come back to knock the ball away. Funny, but we see receivers do that every week, don't we? After all, they are coached to become defensive backs on passes when the defender has a chance for an interception.

I didn't watch the game, didn't need to. I knew how he'd do without watching. The guy is in his 3rd year, has never been above a 3rd string QB, and wasn't good enough to cut it in GB.

 

Newsflash: 3rd String-QBs, as a rule, can't cut it in the NFL. Has zero to do with it being Brohm.

 

Actually he's in his 2nd year. And he was a backup in Green Bay for a short time, and he obviously has been above 3rd string... he started Sunday.

 

I don't know if Brohm will cut it, but the fact is no Qb has cut it in Buffalo since Jim Kelly.

 

Like I said previously, the majority of big name college qb's don't pan out. He's at least made it two years, that's more than a lot can say.

If he left after his junior year he may have been the first QB taken. It has been a long fall from that point on.

No doubt, very puzzling.

Brian Brohm has a nice College career, but is not, and will not be a good NFL quarterback. It's not a knock on him, it's just reality. There are only 32 starting NFL QB's, it's not an easy gig. He is the backup to Ryan Fitzpatrick....what does that tell you?

That's a good way of looking at it. I remember telling myself every Sunday afternoon last year that Fitz is the worse QB I've ever seen.

Based on what? If going by just the statistical average of how most qb do not last in the league, I guess that is a safe bet. Heck most qb's drafted in the top ten do not make it, for long.

 

 

But are you going on something else.

Seriously...where did I say he was "the worst QB ever"? Oh yeah, I didn't. Please don't argue that Fitz should be anything but a backup. Don't let your Louisville blinders take over completely.

Calm down dude. I said that he was worse, I never quoted you. I was agreeing with you that if you can't beat out Fitz then you aren't very good. I was referring to my own thought that Fitz was the worse starter in the NFL last year.

 

Good grief, try actually reading something before calling someone out.:confused:

 

I'm a UofL fan, but not a UofL homer. I have no problem being critical of Cardinals.
