billsfreak Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 If Trent is completely healthy next sunday, the bills will lie and say that he is not.I expect Fitz to start next week no matter what. Trent is winless in the division in atleast 8 starts. Fitz is 1-0 Edwards is 1-8 in divisional starts. A good portion of people on this board are so predictable. So if Lindell misses the kick and the Jets won everyone would say you have to play Edwards. Because Lindell made the kick, alot of the people around here have a memory that can't go more than 24 hours in the past so they will want Fitz. Fitz is a decent backup, far from great at that, but he will never be a full time starter of any success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I sincerely hope Fitz starts. I want to see what he can do with a full week of practice in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Edwards will not be playing for the next two weeks....needs to be symtom free for a week and with this being his second one it will take longer for him to come back and will be a lot more cautious. Looks like the Harvard guy for at least a couple more weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiew Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Also if not treated well enough (rested well enough), concussions can cause some nasty permanent or long term damage. Â I think we've already seen that result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainwampus Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Edwards might be good on a team with a good OL, but not the Bills. Fitzy is frantic yet decisive and handles pressure well. Was he even sacked? Edwards hasn't escaped pressure once all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Trent had a concussion so he won't start and odds are he won't start the week after. They are going to play it safe with Trent odds are he is out for 2-4 games. Last year when he had the concussion he had the bye week to rest so they are going to give him at least next week off.

GripnRip Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I voted for Hamdan...just because I like that you put him as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 While we've been bashing Edwards for checking down all the time (captain checkdown) I just think we are going to see the opposite problem with Fitzpatrick. He's going to force the ball down the field leading to picks and we are going to be saying "Fitzpatrick needs to stop forcing the ball down the field and start looking for the checkdowns".

He's going to force the ball down the field leading to picks and we are going to be saying "Fitzpatrick needs to stop forcing the ball down the field and start looking for the checkdowns". Â Well if we only score 3 or 6 points for the game I would say it's a more entertaining form of losing than the myriad of check-downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 just wanted to know what you guys think. If trent is heathly, I want him to go, but I wish he would use the WR like Fitzs did today. Either way, we have to win next week. Tampa beat carolina today and C.Williams was able to run all over them. So hopefully we can too  Are you asking who WILL start or who SHOULD start if all 3 Qb's are 100% healthy? Big difference...if Trent is healthy I am sure he will start as DJ is too much of a wuss to bench him...so if its who WILL start, then Trent...if its who SHOULD start then its Fitz as he did enough today to earn a shot at seeing what he can do with a full weeks practice under his belt with the first team...

im4bflo Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Give FITZ a week of practice with the first team starters, and then judge him, how many times do you think he's been able to throw to Lee or TO? I bet not much, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Would the entire Jets franchise immediately go to jail if that were Tom Brady instead of Trent Edwards? I believe they would - and the Cheatriettes* would also receive an automatic forfeit from all the remaining teams on their* schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddgurley Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Actually Carolina won today   ya, i just saw that. My bad, but they still stink and we should beat them, if they dont run for 300 yards on us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The bottom line is we won with Fitz in there, so let's just stick with him and see how he does next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flbillsfan#1 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I am amazed that more than 20% of the people in the poll still have faith in Trent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USABuffaloFan Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Trent's stats are deceiving, 5-5 43 yds. What play did he make that you remember? Captain Checkdown no longer sees the field. Fitz came in with little 1st team practice if any and finds the WR's at a better rate. I don't care what Fitz's stats were, I know my eye's on that day seen a much more capable QB at this stage anyway. Trent's long ball lately has been well over thrown, he is not seeing the field like he should. Bills want a chance next week they will start Ryan!
