I think Marve was just a little banged up so they went with Brohm. I was at Monday's practice and I didn't see Marve take any reps in the team drills.

 

Not sure how involved Marve was on Tuesday and Wednesday as I didn't see any reports from the media.

Funny, I recommended this last season to O'Shea on the coaches show and he shot it down...

 

Isn't that always the case? Yes, Brohm is a much bigger, stronger, man than Marve and is more suited for a 1 yard sneak. Marve is a good option when it's 3rd and 2 or 3rd and 3, over 3 and it's Willy. Don't tell MOS that though

@garrettbillan1: @PentonKirk what happened to Marve on short yardage?

@PentonKirk: @garrettbillan1 O'Shea mumbled something about Marve being injured.

I didn't realize that the short yard plays cost us the game last night... I mean really, Marve this, Marve that... Brohm did a better job than Marve did on the short yardage sneaks.. It's really that simple. Over analyzing something so ridiculously simple is crazy.. Why when we lose, why is always about Marve? This is the second time now in 2 losses where this whole Marve stuff has come up and it's same old same old.

 

Maybe Marve sucks and people don't want to admit that, maybe he lost his short yardage job cuz he wasn't very good at it. 

 

If you're not happy discussing Marve, you might want to avoid all threads with his name in the heading.

My take on Brohm being elevated is that Marve has been labelled as wanting to try the nfl (who the hell else wouldn't try that league from this) and so he has been relegated....More talented than Brohm will ever be BUT that's the coaches call...AND another bad decision made for political reasons ( our current lousy offensive co-oridinator than anything else) I call bull$hit)...

A lot of assumptions, you know what those tend to do.

Marve was injured.....well that was sure heavily reported... NOT... Who invented that crap our illustrious OC....I never heard a word of that during practice week or in Cal. There's something stinking high time between Marve and Brohm and I want to hear the real facts...

Wouldn't surprise me. Another bad decision by our intrepid coach.

Why? We didn't get stuffed did we?

Man alive people here pick the oddest **** to get uppity about..

But that's just the point, Marve hasn't proven anything yet.

And somehow this is enough to be anointed as the next supahstah!

Omfg O'Shea told penton! Hellllllo!!! Mcflyyyy!!!

Bet O'shea probably told these media guys earlier in the week also. But our media guys don't always exactly report what's up with the team. Really follow twitter during a practice. Our media guys are non existent. It's actually pretty brutal. Our media coverage here is definitely not good

I feel like we are trying to hide marve to keep him north of the border and away from other cfl teams in the off season. Get him locked up to a long term deal in the off season that removes most of the chance of him ever going back to the cfl. Maybe im crazy and need a tinfoil hat. But its easier to believe then that every one in the coaching staff and front office cant see what any one else sees who watches him practise and play.

Or they can see better than some of us are willing to admit and realized Marve wasn't very good at the short yardage QB sneaks?? I mean that is another possibility. Seeing as tho Marve at times has been stuffed short or even barely got the yard or 6 inches needed for the first down, maybe they decided Brohm is actually the better option??? There is that possibility.  I get it, people love Marve but really, he hasn't really done much to get all this love yet. He actually hasn't done much of anything and I think he has potential but the guy is not going to be the saviour here or anywhere else. I honestly don't think he knows how to read the D yet, if that ever comes, cuz he does have all the tools, but lots of QBs do seem to have all the tools but are missing the smarts to actually become something more than that 3rd string option QB. I feel Marve needs to learn to read a D first before he becomes anything special, until then he's just another guy with tons of potential but.. perhaps not the smarts. Can disagree all you want but... theres been quite a few QB's like Marve who have come to this league with all this potential but just lacked something, I am starting to feel Marve may be similar. I think he lacks the ability to read the D and until he can do that, if he ever can do that... he's not gonna amount to much at all. 

 

Look at a guy like  Rakeem Cato, you can actually see him going through his reads while scrambling out there, it's not exactly run first for him, for Marve, it has indeed been run first. He seems to lack the ability to read the D, doesn't go through his reads, if the first guy is covered, he's running and that's exciting and all, but.. it's not really sustainable at all, that big 30 yard run Marve has, well maybe if he actually went through his other reads, maybe it's a 50 yard touchdown instead.

Have you ever looked up in a dictionary the word "redundancy"?

But that's just the point, Marve hasn't proven anything yet.

Well he has won 100% more games than Brohm. But other than that...

Has Marve officially won a game? The rules on who gets the win are weird. 

 

All I know is short yardage with Marve was too much of an adventure than it should have been.

Who takes second team reps at practice now?  Isn't it Marve?  A lot of times the 3rd stringer is short yardage...

 

Only down side is that we can't cut Brohm now because he's a 'short yardage specialist'

 

 

Nope. He took second reps one day because Brohm blew out a shoe-lace and had to change it and then get re-taped. I was at that practice and was laughing when I saw the tweet afterwards that suggested Marve was taking 2nd string reps. They conveniently left out that Brohm was unavailable at that time to take them. Went to the practice the next day, and Brohm was taking 2nd string reps. No tweet about that. Have not been to one since, but I have heard no mention from my buddies I attend practices with  that Marve has been taking 2nd string reps.
