Bills Training Camp Battles: Starting Quarterback

This video accurately describes my feelings on this topic.

I like Edwards, especially given that he has proven he CAN play in this league and, at times, very well. I also like Brohm, but more because of his college play. I think Chan gives Edwards every opportunity to win the job, and if not, he essentially starts a seasoned rookie in Brohm.

Unfortunately, the quarterback of the future is not on this roster. With that being said, I think Brohm has the most potential. Ever since Edwards’ concussion, he has not been the quarterback we expected him to be. Spiller can be a great help for him with dump offs, but Edwards need to do one thing to help his own cause. He fears the rush, but if he threw down field a bit more often and accurately, he would stretch the field and defenders out. Checking down only brings more defenders up, and allows for an easy pass and run stop rush. Brohm on the other hand, looks mobile and more confident in himself. Either way, we need someone to manage the game, not necessarily be the one winning it.

Ugh… its going to be Edwards, I know it.

Im behind you Edwards if youre going to man up this year… please god… dont make me “trust” you and then you come out and lay an egg… If Chans going to give you the reins you gotta be man enough to take them. Go out there and play football, you got to have to passion and drive.

But Im still pulling for Brohm.

I’m actually pulling for Edwards, but I voted that Brohm will be the starter.

Not that it’s the perfect scenario but if he can use his smarts and effectively manage the game….he will be alright. I would really like to see Brohm develop this year and compete next year.

When does the 2010 season start. Tomarrow or September 12. Either way, Edwards starts tomarrow, Fitzpatrick September 12 and Brohm mid season, not because of poor play but because of lack of exceptional play.

and I’ll say it again. I think Edwards will be the starter but this is his last chance in my mind. Here’s hoping for a breakout year.

Voted Edwards, but I’d personally rather watch Fitzpatrick do his fancy footwork/random accuracy thing than watch Trent go 3-and-out over and over and over.

Edwards obviously starts out #1 in the ‘pecking order’. It’s also a pretty safe bet he wins the job when it’s all said and done. It’s possible Chan could see either Edwards or Brohm as a possible ‘future QB’ I suppose, in which case Edwards is the frontrunner and Brohm would have to show a LOT to win that job. If Chan’s looking at this purely as who can do best this season with a mind towards finding someone else for the long-term, then you have to think Edwards is almost a sure thing.

When was the last time a QB had 3 mediocre seasons and in his 4th became reliable/great? Drew Brees is the only one I can think of… I’d like to see Edwards become that guy. I just don’t have enough optimism in me… still, I voted for him objectively, since he’s shown more ability than Brohm at this point and since I don’t think Fitzpatrick will be nor should be our Day 1 starter.

I picked Edwards to start the season because that’s what my gut says, but personally, I feel like I’m staring into a black pit trying to envision how this season is going to play out. None of these guys inspires any confidence.

the O-line will be improved) he will be the starter backed up by Brohm. If the Bills go into a slump, Brohm will be the starter.

because I would hate to think I would like a East Coast Ivy Leaguer more than my former man-crush……….

Im holding out hope that Trent returns to that I guy I thought he was after that Raiders comeback.

Edwards will probably get the #1 slot in the pecking order…ok, nausea passed….but I firmly believe that Brohm will man up more then TE will. BB will steadily take over as the player under center that the rest of the offense trusts the most to help them succeed.
