Brohm Radio Interview

[LouPhinFan]

Just wanted to share. Brohm just finished a radio interview on 93.9 "The Ticket" (ESPN radio) here in Louisville.
---------------------------

A few tidbits:

He had told the Senior Bowl reps that he wasn't going to be able to play a long time before the general public found out, but they asked him to keep it under wraps for fear of other big name players dropping out too. He really wanted to play because he thought Martz's timing offense that the South used would have shown off his strengths.

He's currently at Velocity in CA working out and getting his ankle back to 100%. His goal it to be 100% by the combine in Indy and to fully participate. However if the ankle isn't 100%, everyone will have to wait for his pro day at U of L.

He said he hasn't heard much, but most all teams are saying he is either the #1 or #2 QB in the draft.

He said 90% of the test is already finished, meaning the football season and his body of work on the field. This last 10% of the test, combines and such, are just to top everything off and that he really wants to showcase his abilities for this last "10%".

---------------------------

Nothing all that new, but I thought I would at least share the info. Brohm is very intelligent and it came across in his interview. He is very well spoken and you can tell he has his thoughts in order because he answered the questions quickly and throughly. I like that in a QB.

Take it for what its worth.

I see brohm dropping to the 2nd

I see brohm dropping to the 2nd

I doubt that but if he does, I'd take him with the #32.

Me and U togetta

 

[2413fanphins]

definately not the #1 or #2 QB.

was he drugged up during this interview? perhaps the pain meds for the ankle are a bit too potent.

If I give this guy a dollar will he go buy a clue?

Have to wait and see how his pro day goes I guess, I don't see him making it for the combine. This dude is hurt every time I turn around.

Who is your #2?

Brohm will be at least the 2nd QB taken in the draft, hes the safest pick.

 

[2413fanphins]

that depends on whether or not a team thinks he will stay healthy.

I am almost certain he has missed some time, each of the past two seasons. Am I wrong. Your not exactly an assett if you get hurt EVERY year.

why is he the safest pick?? You know he won't have any family coaching him in the nfl right.

right now, I wouldn't hesitate at all to put henne above brohm. depending on how the combine goes... if brohm even participates... not likely, I may slide flacco ahead of him.

brohm, JDB, woodson, a bunch of qb's who are vastly overrated in my opinion.

I could be wrong though. it's happened before, if I am i will be the first to admit it.

Brohm isnt superman, sorry he isnt made of steal, all QB's get hurt. Why isnt anyone talking about Chad Henne he got hurt this year and missed most of the season. Brohm played the whole season.

his Junior year he hurt his thumb and was out for 2 or 3 games, big deal. Not uncommon. He came back and dominated WV and then led Louisville to a Orange Bowl win.

Brohm is the Safer pick because you know that he wont turn the ball over, he throws the ball down feild, and he can read coverages better than you can read a book.

How is Brohm over rated but yet Matt Ryan who never won a bowl game, threw 19 INTS complted less then 60% of passes this season isnt over rated?

If Matt Ryan struggled that bad in college why does everyone think he will be better in the NFL?

Seriously dude, that horse you're beating is dead now. You can stop. We get it you don't like Brian Brohm.

You don't have to get snide about it. "If I give this guy a dollar will he go buy a clue"? What kind of comment is that? The kid gave a good interview and was just repeating what all the teams are telling his agent. So I guess you're right and all the other NFL GMs are wrong.

I tell you what, when you have something constructive to add to this thread, by all means, go ahead and post away. But until that day comes why don't you enjoy the other threads here in the draft forum. OK?:up:

ok bro... I realize your a homer and your gonna stick up for your guy, but c'mon. So are you sitting here telling me that brian brohm is the #1 or #2 qb on MOST EVERY TEAM, like the original poster said. I haven't heard anybody from within our franchise so much as mention his name. You don't have to turn it into a I think I'm right and all the NFL GM's are wrong scenario. Who ever said that.

I don't have dislike for brian brohm, I don't know the guy at all. I'm being realistic. Obviously your not. If you like the guy SO much that you can't listen to a little criticism of the guy, maybe you should take the blinders off.

His stats throughout his career are solid, I'll give you that. His sack numbers have gone up EVERY YEAR. He has a good completion percentage.
His td passes fluctuated from year to year, INT's went up every year.
Some of this most definately has to do with more attempts, but I haven't heard of one mel kiper or one mayock, or anybody, say this guy is the #1 QB.

A long time ago, he may have been #2, but I haven't heard that out of as many mouths either.

THIS is the fact of the matter, somebody said he missed time last year with a thumb injury. He is injured now with an ankle injury. Serious injuries or not, two years in a row he has injuries causing him to miss time. And than he says in an interview he is #1 or #2 QB by most all teams.

correct me if I am wrong, but I don't ever remember saying the guy sucked.
I don't remember saying I didn't like him.

I said he seems to be hurt a lot.

He says most teams put him at one or two, this is simply just hard to believe.

And just from a gentlemans perspective... if I disagree with what you thought about some iowa hawkeye, I wouldn't suggest you stay away from my threads. I don't know if this guy is your favorite player or what, but I don't think anything I said was that unfair. besides that, it was my opinion, and while some may disagree at the end of the day it's just another guys' opinion.

correct me if I am wrong, didn't BC and therfore matt ryan just win a bowl game not too long ago.
How do you KNOW brian brohm won't turn the ball over? I'm curious really.

the reason nobody is talking about chad henne, is because it is a thread about BRIAN BROHM.

I'm saying that if you don't have something constructive to post then move on to another thread. I sincerely hope its not your "opinion" that Brohm was on drugged up during his interview. I pretty sure you were just trying to make a joke, all be it not a very funny one.

Asking if he was on drugs during his interview or stating if "you gave him a dollar he could buy a clue" isn't being constructive. Its being snide and basically not very nice. You can question his stats and injuries and all that. Its par for the course, but do it in a constructive manner.

Oh, and I'm not going to apologize for being a "homer". I've seen every game the kid has played for the past 4 years and know how good a QB he is. I like what he's going to bring to whatever team that drafts him. There's a lot of misinformation out there about him because he went to Louisville instead of one of the "big boys". I'm just trying to keep people informed.

Obvisouly you have no idea who Bian Brohm is and you have never seen him play. Brohm rarely makes mistakes unlike Matt Ryan, Chad Henne, ect who are a lot more inconsistant. Thats why Brohm is the safer pick b/c you know he will be smart with the football. I can not look into a crystal ball to be sure but Im going by history, and Matt Ryan and Chad Henne turn the ball over A LOT more than Brohm.

You mentioned you liked Chad Henne as the #2 QB and then you talk about how brohm cant make it through a whole season without getting hurt. Im pretty sure Brohm played every game this passed season and henne was the one who was hurt so I guess since Chad Henne got hurt hes now injury prone right?

 

[2413fanphins]

if you followed him that much you can certainly tell me than...

is he durable.

Did he miss time every year he was the starter due to injury??

I don't think it's that out of the ordinary for a football player to be drugged up during an interview. I remember a lot of interviews favre was on painkillers.

DO the facts lean towards brohm being injury prone or not?

nobody asked you to apologize for being a homer... again reading into posts too much.

what misinformation are you referring too.

again... when was this guy ever the #1 QB on any experts mock draft?

You are an idiot Brohm was on the top of every boards before the season started
