Trent Edwards


Recommended Posts

I was doing my fantasy football draft on Sunday night and the commish is a raiders fan, so I was watching the Sunday night game. Trent comes into the game, and it was a pathetic excuse for football. I know he didnt have a ton of time, but he always seems to move backwards when hes going to get sacked. Wasnt sure if anyone else watched, but its sad that this guy was supposed to be our starter and lead our no-huddle offense.

After last preseason, this guy was deemed a starter.

He took a few too many hits (both at Stanford and then in Buffalo) and then started treating the ball like it was a hot potato. He just lost the cajones to play football. His runs out of bounds on 4th-and-game established beyond any doubt that he doesn't have the fortitude for the game. Kinda sad, because he had some ability.

You can take the boy out of Los Gatos but you can't take the Los Gatos out of the boy.

Trent is great on the driving range. He craps the bed as soon as he hits the first tee.

 

 

 

I so agree, hence Chan made him the starter last preseason (driving range), realized his mistake early (after the 2nd regular season game), rectified the mistake quickly and moved on. This was a good move by Chan that gets overlooked, he is not afraid to admit he made a mistake.

Jim Everett went out like that, and Drew Bledsoe suffered from the after effects of his brutal hit and was never the same.

Thought he could be a pretty good back-up especially for a warm weather team but too conservative and never was the same after being concussed by the Cardinals.

There should be some kind of penalty just for mentioning his name on this board

 

Blame Jauron. The No Huddle was such a joke. The guy got beat up pretty good. He lost all confidence. He did , for a moment there, look like he had the "Right Stuff". He wont make it thru the season on an NFL roster...it's over. Nice guy, bad situation in BFLO . Interesting Fact: His favorite actor is Dakota Fanning

Trent did look terrible. He and Rob Johnson will both end their carreers going from Bills starter to Raiders 3rd string to out of the NFL.

 

On a separate note, Joquie Bell looked great (spelling may be off on Joquie). Hope he catches on, I liked him here as a hero amongst 3rd string pre-seasoner's.

Add Billy Joe Hobert and Tom Flores to the list of Bills-Raiders flops. :P

And what's your point? Trent looked very good in preseason, and then failed horribly when the real bullets started flying. All managers make mistakes. The good ones correct their mistakes the moment they realize they have a problem, which is exactly what Gailey did.
