Potential? What "potential"? A Bills scout and Jauron saw potential but that's not enough for me. You say potential but I have not seen any in 2 years. Just because our pathetic scouting dept and tricky dick saw potential doesn't mean there is any. He's a back up OLB and special teamer at best. Get rid of him now and develop your own picks.
Good job BILLS and their scouts, another bust. I say cut him now and give his back up job to Coleman, who has man size and NFL strength to geter one. If I see maybe show boat, jump on piles, get knocked on his ass one more time I'll puke.
He was rated a mid first round pick by every scout on every NFL team coming out of Penn State. Jauron's a walking corpse, but blaming the scouts is just wrong.
If he was fully physically developed and say...26 years old it would be one thing, but he just turned 22.

Have you been folowing Flozell in Pitt? He came into camp late as he was a late sign and then missed some practice with a minor injury. He played a few series in preseason and didn't look great, but as good as any Bill so far either. I bet you that once the regular season starts he will be at least average which is more than anything we can hope for with our worthless bunch of tackles. He could have started at right tackle or been quality depth at either position. I guess you'd rather see Kirk Chamber instead of Flozell Adams!
You sound just like Chan Gailey to me.
Your defending this guy because he's a "brand name" player and already making excuses for him.
Adams would have been reaching for straws...

Right before they kicked it over to the game after talking about the redskins for 5 minutes he Eisen asks Faulk if he has anything to say about the Bills. Faulk responds with a verse annoyed "nope".
Eisen then laughs and says "They love you in Western NY"
Faulk says "They'll see what kind of a team they have"
Complete dick. At least pretend to be a journalist.
He thinks the Bills are in shambles.
He thinks the Bills draft out of desperation and develop talent poorly.
He thinks Trent Edwards is a career backup.
He thinks Buffalo is a second rate football organization.
The truth hurts doesn't it?
-
The Bills come out flat, get lambasted 42-17 in their first game and you're telling folks to calm down after an 11 season playoff drought?
Are you still alive Ralph?

Sorry but that INT was just as much on Evans. Come on Lee you've got to make sure he doesn't catch it.
Yeah...a floating piece of **** on the run is NOT the wide receivers fault! Gimme a f%&@ing break...
-
No disrespect to you but your avatar gives me the heebeejeeves. lol it's funny as hellz but it's also disturbing.
I know...it's a bit disturbing.
I'm just trying to prove the theory that marriage takes away a man's killer instinct.
Tom brady no longer exists to me. He's nothing but as softened sap that's been tamed by a smoking chick...hence the Tom Bundchen reference.
-
More wildcat = less Trent.
I'm all in.
Maybe Roscoe can get the ball to Lee Evans?

If you understood the world exists outside of the USA you'd know that most of the rest of the world spells all of your 'highlights' that way. Get out of the house once in a while.
We should all be as cultured as you.
This board is about a team in the greater WNY area...which last i checked was still part of the US.
Maybe when I get sick of living in the greatest country in the world, I'll waste my time posting on a CFL forum so I can say aboooot and or-gan-I-zation.
-
Well, some of those are GREAT quarterbacks and most of the others other are well above average.
Very true...
The previous poster states Trent was/is a good QB.
My point is what NFL starter is Trent actually better than?
I can't think of one now that Jamarcus Russell ate his way out of the league.

Honestly, this place has the most intelligent football fans in the world and it also has a bunch of wannabee bandwagon-bitching fans in the world. Once a few turn on someone the whole cavalry jumps on for the ride. Trent Edwards is/was always a good QB, the people here are clueless sometimes. Anyone playing in that sorry excuse for an offence last year would have fallen flat on their faces. Trent has always had tonnes of potential and actually played very well when we had a decent offence in place. I sometimes wonder if you people actually watch the games or just follow your favourite fanboys here and if 'he' says it it must be true.
By your standard, what is a good QB?
At what point was Trent anything more than a project QB with a decent upside? He was a 3rd round, injury-prone college QB who ran a pro style offense at Stanford. Bill Walsh endorsed him, so god forbid, we all should love him.
Ryan Fitzpatrick clearly out-performed him last year. That's right...a career backup from another "smart" school.
In my book Brees, Manning (both Peyton & Eli), Roethlisberger, Palmer, McNabb, Brady, Flacco, Favre, Ryan, Rivers, Rodgers and Romo are good QB's...Trent is miles behind these guys.
I wonder what the hell you're watching...

You seem to be in a good mood today.
I'm in a glorious mood.
I'm single by choice, no kids and a great job!
Every man should be so lucky...
plus....madden is out!

To be fair, some of the worst evaluators of talent are former players and some of the best evaluators of talent never played a down beyond high school. If coaching was all about being able to do as opposed to knowing and conveying, then there would be more Mike Singletary's and less John Gruden's.
I agree. Very valid point about coaching and talent evaluating.
This post was regarding throwing a football in the rain though, not evaluating talent.
I can visually see the QB throw the ball as well as any human being on earth. My vision's good and I love watching the laces spin through air....wheeeeeeee!
-
Your point?
The f*&%king point is who really cares what some NBC sports clown has to say.
Did Jaworski say it, maybe Marino, Kelly or Fouts?
Any former NFL caliber QB who was decent...who is Evan Silva?
I don't need some non-football playing, college educated beat writer to tell me what I can see in person.
It's not a difficult concept to comprehend.

You do realize practices are open to the public, right?
I can sit in the bleachers or stand along the fence and see the same thing some journalism major saw.

All the constant griping about TE, justified or not, just gets old after awhile. Whether we like it or not, the Bills starting QB is already on the roster. Ain't nobody else coming in to take the job, not Jimmy Clausen, Jim Kelly or Andrew Luck. These are our guys this year. And out of that group, Trent Edwards seems to be the best man for the job in the eyes of Gailey.
So all the woulda, shoulda, coulda hand wringing and condemnation of TE is just "shakin' the monkey." Either he, or Brohm or Fitz or Brown is "the man." Time to cowboy up, drop the fantasizing, and accept that this is who we have. So let's hope that TE really is confident, that Gailey can get his head (and his mechanics) straightened out, and that the scheme in place plays to his strengths and away from his weaknesses. Ya gots ta dance with the one that brung ya.
I'm prepared to "cowboy up" as you put it...
I'll do the proverbial "dance with who brung ya" with this clown of a QB, but at the end of the night I'm looking for the hot chick...
I'll pull for TE in 2010 & pray the Bills defense can stop the run on my way to enjoying a 6-10 season.

At least your avatar is funny.
Last year, the Bills were 1 point away from beating the Pats in the season opener...(I don't think we need to go into details on why we lost). Welker is coming off a serious knee injury. Brady is still rebounding from his knee injury. Plus the Pats are in the decline. Look at their offensive line and their linebackers...not looking too good. Plus, the Pats don't have a running game.
While the Bills got their butts kicked in sunny Florida under Jauron, the Bills came back and kicked the Dolphins butts in Buffalo under Fewell.
The Bills did beat the scary Jets in NJ and were not blown out by them in Toronto. Plus, if Revis doesn't play for the entire season, there goes the best CB on the Jets.
At worst, the Bills are 8-8 this year.
I admire your optimism...
I've predicted the Bills record every year & I generally fall into the "middle of the road" category. Considering the Bills haven't sniffed the playoffs since the 20th century, I feel pretty confident in predicting mediocrity
I hope for 8-8, but predict 6-10.
I have ZERO faith in Trent Edwards.

This story, I'll buy into to. Whitner is an attacking player by nature and playing the Troy Polamalu role in the 3-4 should theoretically increase his production.
The bend don't break Tampa 2 defense was built for teams that can either score a boat load of points or sustain a ground-n-pound attack. The 2008-09 versions of the Bills couldn't do either.
What I'm not buying is any story that claiming Trent is feeling great, positive, refreshed or confident.

I'm still standing by my 11-5 prediction. Here's what I predicted in April, but with added comments:
MIA @ BUF W
BUF @ GB L
BUF @ NE L
NYJ @ BUF W
JAC @ BUF W
BUF @ BAL L
BUF @ KC W
CHI @ BUF W
DET @ BUF W
BUF @ CIN W
PIT @ BUF W (could go either way, but I think the Bills will be fired up after the "They still have team up there" comment by an anonymous Pittsburgh player)
BUF @ MIN L (If Favre doesn't play, I'd say Bills win. Tavaris Jackson sucks and Sage Rosenfels is a decent backup, but nothing more).
CLE @ BUF W
BUF @ MIA W
NE @ BUF W
BUF @ NYJ L
I predict 11-5 for the year and a wild card berth. The Jets will win the AFC East.
So....
The Bills will sweep Miami and split with the Jets/Pats?
Just for fun they beat Pittsburgh and have a mid-season 8 outta 9 game winning streak too.
This is lunacy!
This team is 6-10 at best, including a 1-5 AFC East record to boot.

During Peyton Manning's first 4 years, he as 32-29 as a starter. It usually takes a certain amount of time before QB's get their stuff straight, so saying he'll always look the same is really silly.
Did you just mention Peyton Manning and Trent Edwards in the same capacity?
If so, that's silly
Manning is an alpha male, born and bread to play QB in the NFL.
Trent's a "nice" guy with a buttery soft mental make up...
-
people are still clinging to this notion that Dick J wouldn't let Trentative throw the ball downfield. Like he was just following orders, he could have completed the long ball given the chance.
The long ball was there, Trent just didn't throw it.
ding, ding, ding....winner, winner chicken dinner.
Trent is a marshmallow posing as an NFL quarterback.
-
Trent Edwards looks more comfortable in his role as the starting quarterback, and his teammates are noticing.
This all sounds great in August. This guy's mental make up is peanut butter and fluffernutter.
I have zero faith in Trent Edwards. By October the voices in his head will take over & the regression will continue.
I look forward to Jake Locker in 2011...

We all know that drafting a QB in the top 10 costs a team a ton of money, especially upfront money. We know that are owner isn't the most free-spending owner in the world. We also know that there will be a new CBA come hell or high water, that will adjust rookie salaries.
Could it be that the Bills are waiting for the new rookie cap in order to go get their QB? Just a thought I had, knowing what we know.
BTW 5-11 this year... oh well.
I don't think this is the case at all.
If Jake Locker was available in the '10 draft your theory would go right out the window.
Next years draft is a better Qb draft, hands down.

I thought Bill Cowher was a dirt bag were he refused to take the Buffalo Job this year. I really thought it was the perfect fit for him. Now maybe we know why? In any event my feeling for bill have changed, Maybe it not, Ralph, small market, the city, etc, etc. No matter what the case, my prayers to him and his family.
When you decided to stay at McDonald's drive-thru instead of taking a Burger King grill job did that qualify you a dirt bag as well?
How was Buffalo ever a perfect fit for him?
The Bills have a 90+ year old owner that might have eaten his last breakfast today.
The Bills haven't sniffed the playoffs in the 21st century.
The Bills QB situation is one of the worst in the NFL.
The list could go on for days...
My condolences to the Cowher family. They are first class in every way.

Your opinion on the Bills LBers is your opinion, I don't have an issue with that.
Stating that great LBers make an impact from day one is just incorrect. There's a laundry list of former and current NFL LB's that barely touched the field their first season, let alone become an impact guy.
For every Patrick Willis, there's a Bart Scott. For every Lawrence Taylor, there's a Greg Lloyd.
There's always room for discovery and improvement.
