Think about this franchise for a second...we haven't had real stability and success at the QB spot since Kelly. Yeah, Flutie had a decent year, and Bledsoe had a great half season. That's it! It's not a coincidence that as the QBs have sucked, so has the team's record.
Losman is nowhere near a sure thing. Okay, he played fairly well the end of the year. He also had some miserable games. But let's be honest- QB is still a question mark! And as long as that's the case, we're never going to be competing for Super Bowls. We need a franchise QB more than anything- maybe its Losman, but the jury is still out.
Which is why getting another QB is a great move. We're talking about a third round pick here. Okay, we could have gotten a CB or WR, which may have helped this year. But would one of those guys really have had a major impact on the franchise? Think about if JP doesn't pan out. Next year, we'd have to take a QB in the first round. Instead, a QB with at least second-round talent falls. Now we have a backup plan, a guy who can legitimately become a franchise QB. He's got the arm, the accuracy, and the head. He has just surrounded by terrible players. Next year, whether Losman pans out or not, we won't be drafting a QB and can use first and second rounders on quality additions.
Finding a stable, productive QB has been the biggest need for this franchise for way too long! Edwards will do nothing but help.
