Brohm To Lead Falcons Next Year?

brohm.jpgIt doesn’t say much for the Falcons Week 1 performance that rumors are getting around about what we might do with the No. 1 pick, but it is what is is I guess; check this one out about the Falcons potentially getting Brian Brohm from Louisville:

We won’t know for sure until the 2008 NFL Draft gets closer, but does anyone doubt that Louisville QB Brian Brohm is the leader in the clubhouse to be the No. 1 pick by the Atlanta Falcons? They’ll battle the Browns for the top pick overall but Cleveland has its QB of the future in Brady Quinn. Atlanta’s Bobby Petrino coached Brohm until jumping to the Falcons. It makes just too much sense as the start of post-Michael Vick healing.

I gotta say, this does sound fascinating.  I was kinda hoping for a season slightly better than a #1-draft-pick-kind-of-season though.  Maybe he’ll fall even if we’re at say 3 or 4 anyway. 

Personally I’m still a fan of D.J. Shockley for the future.  His injury taking him out of the picture for this season is unfortunate, though it didn’t look like he was anywhere near there yet anyway.  But if we’re going to be terrible all year anyway, I’d rather have the QB of the future getting experience, instead of a mercenary playing in a very mediocre fashion only to be discarded at the end of the season (which is what it feels like is going to happen).  At any rate, I’d like to see D.J. fighting for the job come next year’s training camp.
