Gugny Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Trent thinks he was good last year ... ummm, no. "It's just a matter of taking everything in that you can," he said. "Seeing what Ryan is doing well and trying to learn from him and talking to O-linemen on the side and seeing what calls they like to make. You don't normally get to do that when you're the starter. You see a lot more things when you're sitting on the sidelines. So there are some things I picked up that will hopefully allow me to get back to where I was last season."

From a guy that usually spews the company line, that actually says a lot. He can't talk to the O-linemen when he's the starter? No wonder they aren't on the same page, he should be talking to everyone. The RB's, WR's, OL and even the defense for suggestions. Yet game after game, you see him on the sideline by himself when not on the field. He's just not a leader, very sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Edwards talking about now? What does he mean when he says, "You don't normally get to do that when you're the starter." I think the Bills should cut or trade the guy now. Let Fitzy and "The Chroise" finish out this 10th consecutive season of crap, and draft the best rated QB at their number one pick next April, with the contributions of the new head coach and maybe even new front office staff. Let Trent Edwards go to another team with real coaches who can program into his robot brain real plays, since he obviously has zero ability to make decisions on his own in the NFL. He has to be the most insecure starting QB I have ever watched and listened to as a Bills fan. Sure, some have been out right worse athletes, but this guy won't take the blame for anything he does on the field, and blames everything on everybody else, but quietly and with careful comments. I hate Edwards right about now, and look forward to him being gone in 8 weeks. Of course, maybe he can come out with guns firing and rise up to the bottom half - ranked QB he finished up as last season, huh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"where I was last season" was playing well (not great, but well) and leading the team to wins. I think that's all he meant. Also, you have to be able to see things differently while on the sidelines.

weehawk Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 He sux. Get rid of him. He's barely backup material. The team will not make the playoffs this year anyway. Give the team to Hamden and see if he's got anything. So far we're 0-2 with TE and RF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love to see it, but I don't think that is very likely at this point. I know what you are saying, but when I read comments about "the first 5 games of last year" I keep thinking of the Raiders game. The Raiders. The team was in total chaos with the coach and owner stabbing each other in the back. And, they owned the Bills most of the game. Sure, the offense came off snooze-control in the last 4 minutes of the game to mount a furious comeback and all against a dysfunctional team that would fire their HC soon thereafter. But, that game smelled real bad. Not as bad as some clunkers since. But, if Edwards plays like he did then, stick a fork in him and wish him luck in the UFL.

Guest dog14787 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Everyone knows fully well our O-line is one of the worse in the league. It wouldn't matter who you bring in to play QB because they will all look like crap, most of you folks do realize as much I would hope. The only thing that comes to light that you can rely on for sure is that our O-line sucks, everything else is contingent on the O-line so judging the skilled positions playing behind the O-line seems pointless in my opinion. For Trent to get back to the way he was playing last season the O-line has to perform better and there's no way around it. Last seasons play is nothing to brag about, but TE has regressed and the O-line is partly to blame. I'm sure the 2nd inexperienced OC promoted up from an already failing offense also contributes to the Bills problems on Offense. We need a qualified GM...

This sounds like the last stand made by the small contingent of JP fans last year. The best thing that can happen to Trent now is actually less playing time. The less he plays the better the chance someone accidentally makes him their backup. Unfortunately for JP this plan wasn't in the cards and he played himself out of the league. The second best chance he has (it's a longshot) is that dog14787 becomes the coach and GM of a trainwreck NFL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's more referencing Rodgers 2000+ yards passing and 16 TD's on the season despite being sacked 37 times this year. So basically he's been sacked more times than Edwards and Fitzpatrick combined...yet he's still managd to throw for more TD's and Yards than both of them combined.

Yardage doesn't mean anything when you turn the ball over and get sacked numerous times and lose the ball game. One might say Trent Edwards looked good playing behind a poor O-line against the Pats with the proper game plan.

Are you sure about this? I've seen two QBs picked in the first round last year this season. We all know what "Sanchize" did against us. And on Sunday I saw Stafford (1st pick in last year's draft) throw 5 interceptions against the 2-5 Seahawks. I want no part of a first round QB. Too risky. Get a vet and let's get better now. I'm tired of baby sitting snot nose rookie QBs while they "develop" or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
