Between anyone on this board and Bill Walsh, I'll lean towards Walsh's opinion of Edwards, which was favorable.
Having Edwards on the roster without a replacement only sets us back if they name him the starter tomorrow. If he's the best guy, he plays. If not, cut him. But cutting him now ignores his '09 situation and ignored the fact that, *****y as he may be, he may be the Bills best option for this season.
To say he just sucks because he sucks and he's *****y is really enlightening. Gailey is an offensive coach who made ****tier QB's than Edwards look okay. If he's there in late August, I am sure it's because he will deserve to be there.

The only decent QB that could have survived behind that line was Fran Tarkington. Edwards may be David Carr. But could he be Jim Plunkett? Recall that Plunkett got the snot beat out of him in NE before heading on to greener pastures.
It costs us relatively NOTHING to take a look at Edwards next year and he showed some things when the line was together to warrant the look. I seem to remember him looking good in Game 1. So we got THAT going for us...which is nice...
And if Adrian Wilson's helmet was poised to be planted under my chin every week, you bet I'd be checking down too.

Georgia's Techs 6'-4", 270 lbs. DE Derrick Morgan finished the 2009 campaign with 55 tackles, 18.5 tackles-for-loss and 12.5 sacks.
The Kids a gamer ...
Morgan got manhandled by Bulaga when they played IOWA. Dunno if that means everything, but it does mean something.

We have a very talented Lee Evans and one of the all time great WRs WENT TO WASTE this year because of bad O-Line and QB play. Why waste even a 5th rounder on Jordan Shipley (who will be a 2nd rounder) when we can't get him the ball.
FIX THE LINES!!! I'd like to see 2 OTs, 1 DT, 1 DE, 2 LBs and maybe a QB.

Not to mention Rice operated in an offense with John Taylor, Roger Craig, Tom Rathman, a decent TE (Brent Johnson?). Most other great WRs had much more space than TO.
I like him and hope TO comes back....or that James Hardy steps up. As a side note, don't you find it interesting that we passed on great FOOTBALL players like Haloti Ngata and Desean Jackson because they weren't the right KIND of football player. It's frustrating that we focused on the type and not the ability.
I just hope we get a couple great football players in the draft. Like TO.

One thing that's been clear throughout the Senior Bowl practices is that Mike Iupati has solidified himself as the #1 interior offensive lineman in this years draft. How would you guys feel if the Bills nabbed him with the #9 pick?
Mayock today stated he thinks Iupati has solidifed his spot in the top 20 in the 2010 draft so #9 would seem a bit of a reach, but not a huge one.
I for one would love to solidify the offensive line, and this guys seems thick, strong and solid. Some GM's, as well as Mayock think he's capable of playing RT or LT because he has long arms and has the athleticism to make the switch. Personally I like drafting guys to play the postions they played in college to lessen the learning curve at the pro level, but his versatility can only add to his value.
Perhaps Levitre could move to LT, or Wood could move to center opening up a G spot for Iupati. An interior line of Iupati, Wood, and Levitre (from right to left) would be young and nasty.
The ideal situation, if we were to pick Iupati would be a trade down into the teens, but the question is how would you guys feel if we stood pat and picked him at #9?
A little write up from Nolan Nawrocki of ProFootballWeekly.com on Iupati for those who aren't as familiar with him:

THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN. Nix has said they will draft a guy with a history of success and I don't think projecting guys around fits that model.
That being said, sign Incognito, play 5 Guards and just run all over people.
I think that if the Bills don't take a bona fide LT at 9, or maybe a franchise QB, they'll trade outMaybe to someone who has a late 1st and 3 2nd rounders.

For all of his questionable or outright dirty tactics when he has played the Bills, I would love to have him on our team in the interior of our defensive line.
The guy IMO is one of the top 3 defensive tackles in the game today.
Wilfork??? Now??? How long does Bill Belicheck have to school the league on unloading reputations for high draft picks? NO...you don't trade for Wilfork. How has Stroud worked out??
BUILD THE TEAM. If you want a Wilfork-type player, you draft a shiny new T. Cody this year, not trade for what Vince freakin Wilfork used to be. He may have some miles left and I might sign him as a free agent, but giving up the future of your team for him is a LOSER MOVE.
Ask yourself the following: Do great teams trade themselves great or build themselves great?

I have a friend who was on the Bills coaching staff up until his dismissal at the end of the season. He said that the general opinion of the coaches was that Maybin shouldn't even be in the league, let alone a first round pick. He said he "ran like Forest Gump" and never impressed on or off the field. I hope he's wrong but he was pretty clear in his opinion.
I'm not buying it.
-
Does anyone care.Its what have you done for me lately and Mr Maybin held out, and did absolutely nothing on the field.He has collosal bust written all over him.
We don't even know what Maybin is yet. He hasn't seen training camp and he was playing for TWO coaches who were fighting for their jobs. If you were Jauron and Fewell, who would you play? The 5 year vet or the raw rookie? And it wasn't like Maybin was a reach. Half of the prognosticators had the Bills taking him.
Now, I'd have rather seen Oher at 11 as the Langston Walker thing sounded thin from the get-go with no Plan B. And I'd also love to have seen Orakpo/Cushing production from #58. But labeling him a bust at this point is just wacky.
The pick this year will be the best OLT available.
Just one more example of the NFL owners being greedy buttholes

Even more confusing is that the Bengals say "Who Dey"??. Who owns that? The Bengals started in 1937 or so?
Forget all the McDonald's talk. They have more lawyers than burgers. If someone is selling an NFL Saints Fluer de lis with ANY phrase on it, it patent/trademark infringement. I'd rather work for the NFL on that suit.
