Trent 'The Young Gun' Edwards video

[The Answer]

Don't know if this has ever been posted, but if you want to see what a real QB can do just observe this video of The Franchise in action:

http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=1113096530&fr=yfp-t-101

Keep in mind the following when observing:

- Reading the defense: He goes through his first, 2nd, 3rd, etc options and knows how to get rid of the ball, even if it's a quick dump off. Something we already observed in preseason.

- Awareness in the pocket: He knows what's going on around him and isn't a turnover machine unlike our current starting QB.

- Mobility: Kid has wheels and can make plays outside the pocket. Something Losman just don't have the natural ability and intelligence to do.

- Accuracy: When the oline gives him time this kid is a deadly assassin. In fact it's scary how accurate he is.

- 3 step drop: Something this kid has down pat. Losman however 4 years into the NFL just don't seem to understand this concept. Edwards footwork is amazing as well, not much 'happy feet' from him.

As The Answer has stated before, this kid just 'has it' - raw, uncompromised talent that can't be learned or coached.

I'm sold! Start him against NY Jets! He makes it looks so easy! See how he uses the short passes? He's cool under pressure and knows when to get out of pressure. Take notes J.P.

Go Kelly Holcomb, Go!!!!

The Answer wishes we would have kept him - would have been the perfect mentor for the young gun.

Plus Trent could sit back and watch a real QB do his thing.

Can he throw for more than 20 yards? I hope he's nothing like Holcomb who's Hail Mary throw is 10 yards.

Kelly Holcomb sucks.

But who knows. Maybe one day Trent will be good. He'll just have to wait for his time.

Re: Trent 'The Young Gun' Edwards video

I've been sold since preseason.

How about we have "TRENT BACKERS" and "JP SUPPORTERS" like we had for the Holcomb/JP scandel.

Serioulsy why did you groan this thread? Because of The Answer, or because you seriously have a pro Losman infaturation?

This video is nothing short of proof that Edwards is a real deal QB - and every scout out there, including The Answer, knows this.

they're called highlights. All I saw was dink and dunk. I'm hoping he's got more than that or we'll be giving Mike Sheppard a call to come back and run the WCO.

Tom Brady won 3 superbowls dinking and dunking - now with Moss and a deep passing game he'll be even more dangerous.

Peyton Manning finally won a superbowl last year after learning how to take what the defense gives you and quit trying to go for the home run.

The Holcombnator effectively led this offense with the dink and dunk, as did The Little General when he took us to our last playoff birth.

Now conversely - Bledsoe had a pretty good career living and dying by the deep ball, but he never won a championship and later in his career (buffalo/dallas) he was exposed by defenses that got pressure in his face and he wasn't able to dink and dunk as effectively as he could air it out.

Botton line - the vertical game is always nice, but at some point you have to be just as effective utilizing the short to intermediate throws. Losman is a great deep throwing, even The Answer can concede to that. But aside from a 2 yard out pattern - he sucks doing everything else.

The young gun has already shown how effective he is in the short to intermediate range, and he showed flashes of his deep game in preseason as well - plus did you watch the entire video, he has some phenomal deep throws towards the end....

I'm just going to go ahead and assume you didnt watch passed the 3:15 mark on this video.

He was throwing bombs and connecting.

In Trent we Trust.

In case you didn't know, BB is not our coach.

Maybe we should start taping signals, too.
