Training Camp Preview: Quarterbacks

-Coast

Has a team ever assembled a more mediocre trio of quarterbacks to battle for a starting position in the history of the NFL? Wait, let me rephrase, a more horrendous trio of quarterbacks is more accurate, mediocre is a complement for these hacks.

The front runner going into training camp is probably Trent Edwards, and that is embarrassing. Here are a few, among the many reasons why Trent Edwards should not be wearing an NFL uniform. First of all, Trent is like a deer in headlights out there. He is scared of his own shadow. He won't throw the ball more than five yards down field if his life depended on it. Trent is 0-3 vs. the Cleveland Browns in his career as a starting NFL QB. Not only is he 0-3 in his career vs. the Browns, but the 3 games he played vs. Cleveland may have been the 3 worst games a Bills QB has played in team history. An 8-0 loss in the snow (yeah, I know the weather sucked, but he still sucked too), an embarrassing 29-27 loss on Monday Night Football and then the biggest clunker of all, a 6-3 home loss last season in perhaps the worst game ever played. Cleveland is 10-25 since that win over the Bills in the snow, and 3 of those are against Trend Edwards. Finally, Trent Edwards was in love with Dick Jauron he is basically a Dick Jauron clone. If that doesn't make you hate him, then I don't know what will.

Second on the depth chart entering camp is Ryan Fitzpatrick. The IVY Leaguer is the most inaccurate QB playing in the NFL, CFL, UFL, Arena League, you name the league Ryan is probably less accurate than anyone playing in that league. He has 21 TDs and 27 picks in his career and a whopping 67.7 rating. The only positives with this guy are that he actually does take some shots down field. He was in love with T.O. last year and threw to him even when there were eleven defenders in between him and Owens. At least he tried, and with what the Bills are working with, that is good enough for me.

The third stringer is former second round pick of the Green Bay Packers, Brian Brohm. Brohm actually was a promising QB prospect coming out of Lousiville, but things haven't really worked out for him in the league. Aaron Rodgers was already on the Packers roster and turned out to be a stud. Matt Flynn, QB from LSU, who Green Bay drafted in the 7th round of the same draft Brohm was taken in, beat Brohm out of the backup job. The best thing Brohm has going for him is that no one really knows much about him. We know Trent and Ryan suck. All we know about Brohm is that he got beat out by a 7th round pick and sucked in his only start in the National Football League.

The fourth stringer entering camp is rookie 7th round pick Levi Brown out of Troy. Levi is 6 foot 3 229 pounds which is solid size for a QB. Since I don't know anything about him, here is a summary from NFL.com:

Brown is a raw, physical talent who has a relatively strong arm and can get the ball out quickly and accurately but will need a lot of work before he is ready for the next level of football. He has played from a spread offense and will need a lot of work to make the transition to a traditional, pro passing attack. He is not real quick to drop in the pocket, and his accuracy can suffer when he tries to throw on the move. He is not quick or fast enough to buy time when flushed out of the pocket and is not apt to scramble for positive yards very often.

Basically, Levi Brown is a slower, less athletic version of JP Losman.

Trent Edwards is probably going to be the opening day starter. If it were up to me, the depth chart would be:

1. Brian Brohm

2. Ryan Fitzpatrick

3. Levi Brown

I honestly don't want Trent on this team, not only because he sucks, but also because he is a huge tool and plays scared. I hope to God Brohm wins the job, and having the veteran IVY leaguer as a back up wouldn't be a bad thing. Too bad none of these guys have anyone to throw the ball to. Why not go with the wishbone and have all three of our starting running backs out there at the same time?
