Okay....so say Edwards continues to perform well

[BILLSROCK1212]

If JP were to go down for a couple games and Edwards came in and played very well, and JP had just been playing average so far what do you do? Now I am rooting for JP but Edwards seems like he will be a starter in this league sooner or later.

Even if JP didn't go down but Edwards continued to perform well during practice and his stock rises and the coaching staff believes he could become a star and a better QB than JP but we are winning with JP....what happens? Do we take the risk and maybe start Edwards for a game or do we try and trade him and load up on picks or do we trade JP and take the risk by making Edwards our franchise QB.

I know this is all very confusing but by drafting arguable one of the top 3 QBs in the draft we created a QB controversy wether u want to believe it or not. I like this strategy by Marv in the long run because we can pick up a lot of picks for one of our QBs that are worth more than the 3rd round pick it costed us to draft Edwards.

Like I said this can be all very confusing but I am really looking forward to see who ends up being our franchise QB because right now JP is not set in stone is our franchise QB.

WHY THE HELL IS EVERYONE READING SO MUCH INTO THIS? IT'S NOT EVEN AGAINST STARTING D, WITH PADS ON - LET'S WAIT UNTIL JP GOES DOWN BEFORE WE WONDER ABOUT THIS STUFF.

"Continues to perform well"?

Throwing some nice passes in 7 on 7 rookie camp - that's what constitutes performing well?

Sorry, I know there's more to your post, but the premise is a bit flimsy (BTW, I hope the kid is good)

Re: Okay....so say Edwards continues to perform well

I am not reading into anything....this is just my opinion, just so you know, no person in any FO is stupid enough to draft a player in the 3rd round to be a back up especially when you have other big needs....Marv just has a good cover up but he obviously isn't positive JP will be able to become the player those from the Donahoe era thought he could be....there is no risk to this anyway considering the amount of draft picks the Bills could get for Edwards in the future.

I think he needs to 'start' performing well before he 'continues' to.

Re: Okay....so say Edwards continues to perform well

If Edwards hadn't have been there at our pick, we wouldn't have taken a QB and this wouldn't have been manufactured into a bogus issue. JP had absolutely nothing to do with it.
People keep implying that Marv is against JP because he isn't a "Marv guy." But Marv wasn't around when Jim Kelly was drafted or when he started with the Bills. Marv isn't stupid enough to jettison a promising player because he didn't draft him. Will he dump Evans too?
Between that and assuming that Edwards is going to be any good, this is a typical fanboard non-issue.

Nall would be first in this season, if JP went down.

Edwards will have a clipboard surgically removed from his left hand in about a year.

Re: Okay....so say Edwards continues to perform well

We like competition at the quarterback position, particularly for the 2nd. JP is our guy. You know, JP's our guy. We need some competition for Craig. We're really happy with Craig and what he's done and what we think he's going to do. But we couldn't pass this guy up. And at that position, just like any other position in this league, you need quality, you need depth... JP is our guy and we just like the competition behind him for the 2 and 3 spots, and we just need it... We need that depth.

Now you have 2 choices...
1) You can believe Coach Jouron and move on.
2) You can call Coach Jouron a liar and continue to create your own controversy.

JP is our starter. Jauron has stated it, Levy has stated it, JP has earned it, and no one else has the combination of experience and talent that he does on this team.

Jauron didnt suffer through a poor first half of last year, coming in each and every time and saying JP was still there starter, to then start a rookie after he finally started showing hope.

It may be fun to start making mountains out of molehills like an old wash woman, but we should keep in mind its just for fun and not reality.
