If Edwards is starting (*) then so is Marshawn.

[Captain Caveman]

Both lost their jobs to better people. In the QB case maybe not that much better, but Edwards rightfully lost his job.

 

so that means if Edwards is the automatic starter then so is marshawn.

 

 

(*) BTW I haven't heard nor read anything saying OBD Gives edwards this mysterious vote of confidence I have seen being slung around here. I have read where they are open to BROHM winning the job and I have heard and read where they plan on developing Brown.

 

Edwards lovers need to understand, your boy is done. Nix has seen how badly he sucks, he flat out said we need a guy with a strong arm which kitty doesn't have. Also, do you really expect Ralph, Russ and Nix to parade out a loser and try to sell tickets? No. Edwards time came and passed. He has had enough time for anyone with a brain to see he isn't the answer.

 

Wait, did we draft a QB #9?

DarthLice, You are starting to get very weird on us. How did you ever come to your peculiar conclusion about how the Edwards evaluation affects ML?

 

For the 1000th time the new coaching staff has made it abundantly clear (to everyone but you) that there is going to be an open competition for the qb starting position. Why would this new regime have any preference for any of the candidates for the position? Certainly, their desire is to have the prospective qbs earn the starting position. Why would it be any other way?

 

At this stage of Ralph's life he is lucky if he has an on time bowel movement. Who the starting qb is unimportant to him as long as his profit margin is at his acceptable level. Ralph's cognizant level is such that he believes that Jack Kemp is his franchise qb.

I think BOTH Trent and Marshawn deserve a fair chance at winning the job and keeping it. There is certainly enough carries for Jackson and Spiller, as well as receptions. Lynch was a 1st round pick, he lost his job due to injury. He had a lot going on. He is a very good running back and he proved that to us before. However, he has to get his stuff together and get into Buffalo to start training. He has the potential to be a Top-10 back in this league. He has to earn it and prove to his coaches, his teammates, us fans and everybody else that he can do it.

 

Same goes for Trent. He has suffered through a lot, was a 3rd round pick and deserves a shot at the job. He has to earn it and prove it, just like Lynch. He also has the potential and showed that to us before too.

 

With some new weapons, a stronger o-line, a stout defense...and an entirely new coaching staff...both these players should do well and this team should improve. Are they the long-term answers? Who knows...but what I do know, is they deserve the chance to prove to us that they are the solutions...and not the problems.

 

The ball is in their court.

 

 

(Hardy, Johnson, Parrish, Nelson, Schouman, Whitner, Youboty, Maybin....ALL OF THEM, have to step it up and earn the trust of this coaching staff. They are being given the opportunities...can they seize them or will they flop? Only time will tell and I trust the front office more than I have in a very long time. All the horrible teams are getting better...Cardinals, Lions, 49ers, Seahawks, Saints...they have all improved in recent years. I hope our new regime can help us do the same!)
