or not!..........

Yesterday I posted that Brohm's drop in the NFL draft may be more driven by NFL team positional need rather than anything that Brohm has or has not done, or whether the NFL scouts are somehow "blackballing" him.

Wellllll.....maybe I was wrong.

Yesterday evening we learned that the Atlanta Falcons released Joey Herrington thereby creating a spot for them at QB and with the Falcons picking 3rd, the rumor is that they are badly wanting a franchise QB with that pick.

The rumor further states that the Falcons are hoping that Matt Ryan is still available when their pick is made.

There is only one small problem with that. The real problem that the Falcons had last year was an OL that was more porous and ineffective than a Rafael Palmero testimony.

The problem for Brohm, is that he is a pocket passer, and would get pummeled in that Atlanta offense.

So if Miami takes Matt Ryan, and if the Falcons are dead set on a taking a QB in their spot, Brohm will likely NOT be Atlanta's pick. Because to be effective, the Falcons need QB that really can throw on the run, and be a run threat themselves.

Maybe there was something to that statement that Brohm is being schemed against afterall.
