BRH Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 It's on WGR right now. Chan said of the QB competition: "it was close going in" to the regular season. Ok then if it was close, why did Trent start all four preseason games and get the bulk of the time with the 1's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderweb Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Basically, Chan said they released Edwards. No insights, no comment on whether we'll sign another QB. Only thing he added was that they've decided to work with Brohm and not carry Edwards only to run the scout team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) You didn't miss much in the presser. Chan basically said the competition was close throughout training camp and now want to go into a new direction without Edwards. Another thing to note is Chan specifically said when asked they are interested in re-signing Levi Brown and have communicated with him but still want to take their time with the decision.

1B4IDie Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 You didn't miss much in the presser. Chan basically said the competition was close throughout training camp and now want to go into a new direction without Edwards. Another thing to note is Chan specifically said when asked they are interested in re-signing Levi Brown and have communicated with him but still want to take their time with the decision. Meaning if Levi Brown, says "Are You Kidding me? I'd rather bag groceries than be a part of your messed up organization." They don't want to look bad. It's on WGR right now. Chan said of the QB competition: "it was close going in" to the regular season. Ok then if it was close, why did Trent start all four preseason games and get the bulk of the time with the 1's? My take is this: Trent Edwards looked like he had the highest ceiling in the competition. All 4 performed similarly but the staff saw the most immediate potential in Edwards. Edwards proved through Week 1 & 2 that he will never reach that ceiling or live up to his potential. Fitzpatrick is a perfect "Care Taker" QB (although on Sunday he did more than be a care taker.) When it was clear Edwards can play up to potential he hit the bench. I speculate he had a conversation about working with Brohm or running the scout team and Nix and Chan didn't like his attitude. They don't want a QB "controversy." You have 3 QBs that all play similarly get rid of the possible problem in the club house. Also Fitzpatrick looks like a good QB that a young skilled QB that is drafted early in 2011 can learn from. Not Edwards. Fitz is obviously smart, not as skilled as other QBs but Fitz may be more of a team player can help mold a young QB in 2011. Brohm only gets on the field if Fitz gets injured though. The above is a narrative that helps somewhat digest what happened in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take is RW made the call on Trent Edwards, sent him packing, and Brian Brohm will see the playing field on game day soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConradDobler Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 My take is RW made the call on Trent Edwards, sent him packing, and Brian Brohm will see the playing field on game day soon... Can't you just man up and admit that Trent played himself out of a job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Long Beach Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Can't you just man up and admit that Trent played himself out of a job? Seriously. I think it's obvious to all who've watched Trent this season that he can not be a quality QB in the NFL. He's proven it to us fans through last year, and he definitively (and finally) proved it to this coaching staff. So they got rid of him. Good move by the coaching staff. Why does Ralphy need to get dragged into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 My take is RW made the call on Trent Edwards, sent him packing, and Brian Brohm will see the playing field on game day soon... Then it's one of the few smart moves he's made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
