bizell Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 IMO, he played his best game as a Buffalo Bill. Too bad TO dropped that gorgeous spiral that hit him perfectly in the hands in stride. Hey, he's capable of throwing the ball further than 10 yards down the field! From the parts of the game I was able to see (about 3/4ths of the game), I couldn't really notice him do anything bad. grade for the game: A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizell Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 well, i'm sure we can all agree about this: he handily outplayed the other team's qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And pleeease learn to go down or throw the ball away a bit better---or we are gonna have an 08 situation again on our hands Agreed. The int in the second half was also a poorly-thrown ball and he could have gotten rid of the ball quicker a couple of times. Plus, he MUST learn to slide on occasion. I love the Jim Kelly-type toughness, but with his concussion & injury history, he's going to have to wimp out every now & then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And pleeease learn to go down or throw the ball away a bit better---or we are gonna have an 08 situation again on our hands Agreed re. throwing the ball away. Man, we don't need the zero to two-yard gain on the run to the sideline--just throw it away! Also, on the sack, you've got to get rid of the ball after 4 seconds--hopefully he'll feel that in the future and unload the ball. I will say this though--there were other times when I was really impressed with his pocket presence, esp. out of the 5-WR set. He was feeling the rush and getting the ball away every time (oftentimes just in the nick of time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan da Man Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Trent took a sack or two that he had plenty of time to throw the ball away and could clearly see the sack coming....lost a couple points there. He should not be trying to deliver a blow to a DB when he does take off out of the pocket...run out of bounds or slide dummy! He's gonna get himself seriously hurt. I've seen him take hits in both of the first two games that a smarter QB would have avoided. Lastly, he clearly put too much air under the ball on passes to LE. BUT, if TO catches that beautifully placed pass on the sidelines, Trent has 300 yards and 2-3 TD's. Can't complain too much about his performance these last two weeks. Kids got heart and wants to win!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad1 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 He made some mistakes and took some bad hits, but like Stan mentioned above he played with toughness and heart. The big carry-over from this game is that he hit both Evans and Owens deep. That will keep 8 men out of the box, freeing up the running game and making the OL's pass blocking assignments easier the next game. I'd still like to see him take a shot in the end zone inside the 20, but there's always next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Ike Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Schouman getting hurt did him a favor...he was staring him down and ignoring open guys to stay underneath throughout the 2nd half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conch Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 the dude played much better but still needs to get it to the wr's a lot more. defenses will adjust to his dink game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Paulson Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 B- terrible INT, checked down way too much he did loosen up a bit and threw some deep passes- 2 for TDs one that should have been and was dropped definitely progressed from last week which is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I liked him today overall. Showed promise. Seems in control and not afraid to take a shot to get the ball to the guy he wants. I also know that he is a much better qb than Leftwich is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens to everyone. The more important stat: He's thrown it 56 times, and has only 1 pick (plus one near-pick in the NE game on his rollout throw to Parrish). He hasn't fumbled either. He takes care of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the parts of the game I was able to see (about 3/4ths of the game), I couldn't really notice him do anything bad. grade for the game: A The balls to Evans and TO for TD's were pretty throws for sure, and so was the TO drop. On the other hand, his INT was pretty terrible and the rest of his deep balls werent that accurate. The offense went stale big time in the 3rd qtr and he couldnt seem to move the ball. So, given the good and the bad today, I would rate it a B. We really should have had more points today, we left a lot of opportunities out on the field, so cant give him an A, but it was definitely worth a B and an encouraging outing to build on. We still as an offense need to get the WR's more involved (they still didnt get many balls or targets today) if we will have any chance of hanging with that potent offense the Saints have. In fact, if you take away the two TD's to Evans and Owens, they were barely heard from today. So, AVP has to get them even more involved next week.

BuffaloBill Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Perhaps his most complete game as a Bill. The INT was really poorly thrown ball. Have to give him credit though as he finished the game well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely need to get the WRs involved alot more. He really needs to look TOs way more often. And even if Trent went 32 for 33 with 4 TDs and no INTs, people here would be all over him for that one incompletion. There is not one QB in the league that doesn't look bad on a few plays per game. Anyone see Brady today? He was not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone see Brady today? He was not good. Yes, QB's do have some bad plays (excpet for Kurt Warner today...did you see his record completion % of over 92%, geezus, lol) and Trent responded well to his terrible INT today with his strike to TO. But, none the less, you cant ignore bad plays when handing out grades, which is why I graded him a B. It was a good outing, but we missed some opportunities, he under threw some balls, had an INT, and couldnt move the ball in the 3rd. Now the positives outweigh the negatives for sure, so he gets a B. Its a great game to build on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heels20X6 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I was impressed that after the INT, he actually shook it off and still was throwing the ball downfield. I was thinking: "Crap...he's going to go ultra-conservative now that he threw that pick..." but then came the deep ball of beauty to TO. I'd give him a B+ Question to AVP: WHERE'S THE SLANTS AT?!?!
