Note to NFL Owners - Draft Brian Brohm First!

With the NFL Draft fast approaching, many experts seem to think Matt Ryan is going to be the first QB taken. I disagree and urge owners to look closely at Brian Brohm before making your decision for several reasons.

First, Brian Brohm has been raised to be a pro QB. His father pointed him in the right direction. Don't forget that his brother, Jeff Brohm, was also a pro QB. Second, he is a winner. If you like Tom Brady, you have to love Brian Brohm. He led his High School to state championships and led the Louisville Cardinals to the school's first Orange Bowl victory, where he was named MVP. Third, he has character. If you like Peyton Manning, you will love Brian Brohm. He does things the right way and leads by example. He came back for his senior year at UL even though he had a new coach and new system and still excelled. Finally, he is simply better than Ryan. Check the stats. He averaged more yards per game than Ryan (335/321); he had a better TD/INT ratio (30/12 compared to 31/19); has a higher completion percentage (65/59); better yards per attempt (8.5/6.9) and a better QB rating (152/127).

So, if you are an NFL Owner and think you may want to take Ryan over Brohm, do so at your own peril. You may take him and end up with the next Ryan Leaf while some other wise owner waits and drafts the next Payton Manning or Tom Brady, Brian Brohm.
