[Trent Edwards]

The only thing that Buffalo leads in is the amount of mental midgets that live there!!! Anyone who ever became successful at anything left Buffalo.

[Trent Edwards - Where do you stand?]

I personally think that he has been coddled way to much. He is not a rookie anymore. I wish we had a coach who would get in his face on the sideline and tell him to throw the damn ball.

 

I am not going to lie, I was pretty excited about him in the beginning of last year especially during the comeback wins against OAK and JAX (turned out both those teams were not that good), but I leaped off the wagon after the Cleveland game. I still to this day, have never seen a more timid and scared QB in my life. I don't think he is the answer, but I also know Ryan Fitzpatrick probably isnt either so let him ride out the season and lets see if he can prove us wrong.

 

 

I can tell the weather is getting cold in Buffalo; brain cells are frezzing at an unbelievable pace. Why is everything dropped on the QB's back? First, you don't have and O-Line, anD-Line, corners, safties or wide out's that can separate; yet it's the QB's fault. There are a lot of teams in the NFL that would love to have your QB; and, in a year or so will.

[Trent tonight!]

I dont expect a win tonight, not with all the changes to the Offense last minute, but I hope Trent at least shows some signs of improvement tonight. Its pretty likely that he is going to get a lot of chances to throw it tonight because I expect NE to come out throwing and put some points up.

 

What I hope to see out of him:

 

Commitment - Too often in preseason he seemed hesitant and therefore late on his throws. He needs to start to trust his reads and have the confidence to commit and fire that ball out.

 

Spread the ball around - He far too often locks on to his hot route and fails to see his other options open and winds up going to the check down. I am hoping having TO and Evans on the field together will get him over the hump with this. I hope to see Nelson involved too, could be huge for Trent.

 

Confidence - He needs to command the field and more importantly the Huddle. I really think this is where TO can really help Trent and give him some swagger.

 

Pocket Presence - He needs to be more mobile in the pocket and feel the pressure, especially with a young developng O Line...he has never been good at this as he tends to hold the ball too long.

 

Anticipation - I want to see him get rid of the ball as the WR breaks, not after he breaks.

 

I hope he has a great game, win or lose, his confidence really needs it from what it looked like in Pre Season. Some people say I hate him because I am critical of his game, but I dont. I would love nothing more than for Trent to have a great year and be the QB some think he already is. Just because I am more critical about his past play doesnt mean I dont want him to succeed.
