Brian Brohm

[CaptainD]

I was super excited when we drafted brohm, but he has failed to show any improvement. If anything, he gets worse.
He's got happy feet, but the most concerning part of his games have been his lack of accuracy. That was his strongest point, but he is struggling with it now.
I don't think we are in the position to waste a roster spot on dead weight. I expect great things from this team, as expect many others do as well. Better backup QB's are available, and I for one hope we pursue them.

[Tarlam!]

There's been reports that he has no huddle presence and after just now watching his post game interview, he didn't come across as a future leader.

I seem to recall that being a knock after the first few practices last season; lacks confidence etc. etc.

I have no idea whether or not he has it in him. Successful QBs seem to have something in their eyes. Or what I've read called swagger.

Maybe the big show is too big? I don't know, but if he is asked to come in on game day, I hope our RB core is fresh.

......no QB has been that good picked outside of the top 2 rounds that I can recall.

Kurt Warner.

One of the most overrated qb's ever. Has had the benefit of being at the right place at the right time. Hell, even I could have thrown for 4000+ yards behind that STL offensive line, with those receivers and Faulk running the ball.

Throw in steve young and you've got the most overrated duo ever.

Sounds like BB stunk it up in practice again today......does this guy make the team? Can he punt?

Where did you read that?

This is what I read about today:

tompelissero: Brohm was a combined 10 for 17 on the drives inc. 3 spikes. Good throws on both TDs. He's at his best in 2 minute. Less thought, just play.

tompelissero: I don't want to oversell a couple of 7 on 7 drills, which favor the offense. But Brohm seems cocksure these past 2 days. Best he's been here

tompelissero: Did throw an INT in scout work, but tough to knock a guy for that. Wasn't a bad throw either.

Yesterday's report:

Thumbs up

For all the flak Brian Brohm has taken this preseason — and in his 1½-year tenure with the Packers for that matter — it’s only fair to recognize what he did on Monday.

In a full-pads practice that at 2 hours, 31 minutes was one of the longest of the preseason, Brohm handled all the backup reps and all the scout-team snaps because Matt Flynn’s shoulder injury kept him out again. In that session, the final full-pads practice of training camp, Brohm was as sharp as he’s ever been. He threw the ball with a previously unseen zip and accuracy.

Bedard on twitter...from what I saw earlier it was not going well.....at least two picks and Barnett planted him.

Time warp tweets maybe?

Two TD's in 2:00 drills with two ints while running the scout team is a major improvement for Brohm. Scout team drills give the advantage to the defense, so interceptions aren't as embarrassing there. At least he's moving the ball now.

He's not a starter yet by any means, but improvement should be lauded.

I'm a glass half full kind of person so I'll go with the positive vibes you guys are throwing out there.

All hail Brohm!

So is a 7 on 7 a scout team drill? Does it favor the O or the D?

[boiga]

My point was more that when running the scout team, they hold big cards up for the defense to tell them what the play will be. Rodgers was complaining about it in this funny rather interview:

http://www.packers.com/multimedia/videos/2009_training_camp/video_20090831__33aa9804dc8a__cd1e0c7beb1d/

He says that the secondary were cheating by camping the upcoming route and that's why they picked him 6 times while he was working the scout team on monday.

The two minute drills are a fairer test for how well the O moves down the field. Brohm was inept at these all summer, but has finally been getting it done this week. We'll see if he holds up against the Titans.

For 2 years Kurt Warner was one of the best QBs ever. Yes, he had a couple of great WRs in Holt and Bruce and an HOF running back, but he was delivering the ball 45 yards down the field to a barely open WR at full speed with pinpoint accuracy. I don't know if I have ever seen another QB do that as consistently as Warner was doing it. It was very difficult to defend.

If it wasn't for the thumb injury and he continued on, he would have had some amazing career numbers - considering he got a late start.

Funny you should say that, since the Packers cut Warner. I think Brohm just needs to relax, he has no confidence, give him more time, he was good in college.
