"ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- Kelly Holcomb earned a consolation prize Thursday, beating out Craig Nall as the Buffalo Bills No. 2 quarterback for their season opener at New England this weekend.

Coach Dick Jauron made the announcement following practice, saying Holcomb earned the job behind starter J.P. Losman with his improved play in the final two preseason games."

I'm no nall fan but he was hurt most of camp. Hamstring, I think.

Why hate on him? He was a pretty good guy. I hope he succeeds at some point.

[Packers4Glory]

he missed most of camp thats why. he didn't even get to compete for the starting job because he missed too much time.

[ahaha]

I used to think Nall could be a decent quarterback, until I went to a game at Lambeau last year. It was the Bears, and I went down to field level to watch the players warm up. Watching Favre, Rodgers, and Nall go through their throws right next to each other, it was obvious that Nall was no where even close to the league of Favre, Rodgers, Grossmon, or even Orton in arm strength. He looked quite weak and very out of place. He might have some nice intangibles, but any team starting him would be severely limited in what their passing offense could do.

......He might have some nice intangibles, but.........

Oh no...... here we go again!

For those that aren't privy to the year plus long debate concerning Nall, all the excuses made above have been made over and over and over again regarding Nall and why he hasnt' ahieved more in his short career.

The point people should learn is that the guy is a #3 QB in the NFL. Some talked about him like he was sure starter material. Many people overrated Nall. It's time to admit that. If he was half as talented as many have said then he wouldn't be starting the season as the #3 QB in Buffalo. Nall has as much potential as any other #3 QB in the NFL but to portray it as anything more than that is irresponsible and frankly untrue. It's now proven in two cities that Nall couldn't move beyond #3 QB spot(unless injury crept into the picture). It's time for that bandwagon to officially be disbanded.

Why on earth does anybody here wanna discuss Craig Nall?

Let's discuss the NEW future of the GBP! L&G, I give you..........IngleMartin!!!!!!!!!!!

The back-up quarterback with a strong leg. How sweet would it be if the packers had control of the game and Martin came in and did a drop kick field goal, ala Doug Flutie. Vengeance for theWilliam Perry touchdowns!

I see what this is about! I guess I missed the original discussion -

HERE IT IS - Guerski was right, the rest of you were wrong.... So....


NA NA NA NA NA, HEY HEY GOODBYE!


Everyone bow to Guerski on three - READY, ONE, TWO,.................


THREEEEEEEE, (packerdom bows down to Guerski Thompson)......


I wish Craig Nall well. He stayed in the NFL longer that I did, and longer than Guerski did TOO!

Wasn't Nall drafted 'cause he had a cannon?

Not exactly - here's the draft day blurb from packers.com....

http://www.packers.com/news/stories/2002/04/21/2/

If you don't know much about Craig Nall, the Packers' second selection of the fifth round, that's okay with them. If you don't know anything about him, they might be downright giddy.

Nall, a quarterback out of Northwestern State in Louisiana, slipped underneath the radar to get to the Packers. And they wanted it that way.

"I like this guy," Sherman said, "I didn't think we had a chance at him. I know that not a lot of people knew about this guy. We kind of had it hidden, we kept it real quiet."

A highly touted recruit out of high school, Nall turned down Steve Spurrier and Florida to start his collegiate career at LSU. But after limited action in Baton Rouge, he transferred to Northwestern State where he set a single-season NSU record with 2,022 yards passing.

Even more impressive, Nall threw only three interceptions during his senior season, all of them on tipped balls. And Packers fans will like this stat: in his final collegiate game at Montana, he passed for 339 yards in a minus-20 degree wind chill.

"We thought he had a big upside as far as what we wanted to get done," Hatley said. "He's a project that we felt like could develop into a quarterback that could be successful in our offense."

Obviously, with Brett Favre's career still going strong, there's little rush for the inexperienced Nall's development. But the Packers are enthusiastic about Nall's quick release that they feel fits perfectly into the NFL and the 'West Coast' offense, not to mention his contagious personality.

"He hunts, he fishes, he's kind of like an offensive lineman, kind of like Brett in many ways," Sherman said. "He doesn't have the characteristics of Brett Favre in regard to arm strength, but he has an awareness, plays fast. It's important to him and he competes."
