Prickly Pete Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 You can be a great QB and not known as a deep ball QB. Montana and any other West Coast O QB relied heavily short and intermediate slants, drags, and zone flood rollouts. Edwards was looking very capable in a wide and conservative system. However, he was gunshy after multiple concussions between the Arizona and San Diego games. Joe Montana...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't making the long or deep intermediate throw even when he was having success. Montana was able to throw the deep ball and he would throw it when teams didn't respect it. Trent has a throwing motion without any hip rotation.......much of the power generated by QB's comes from the core.....which he does not use. He throws essentially all arm. Teams just started squatting on the short throws and challenging him throw over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Front Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Everyone wants the Bills to sign a veteran qb to help EJ...well maybe once he gets cut from Oakland Capt. Checkdown can help Pvt. Checkdown someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 RJ and JP also passed through Oakland before fading out of the league for good. Kind of like Matt Leinart and Billy Joe Hobert here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 He's quicker than a quick draw artist. Al Davis is lovin' it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Maybe Oakland is looking to Trent to provide the same kind of mentorship to Pyror and McGloin and whoever else that he provided to Nick Foles last year in Philadelphia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
