If we're down 40 points at the half...

[RedEyE]

...what would it possibly hurt to throw Edwards in the ring? Depening on how the outcome transpired, I can't say that I would feel any remorse towards Losman being benched in lieu of the situation.

And besides, giving Trent reps with the 1st squad might give the Bills staff a better idea of where things are breaking down on offense.

Personally, I hope Losman comes out and tears it up tomorrow.

Realistically, I don't see that happening.

If we are down big at the half, it will be due to Brady, Maroney and Moss having a playground day against the defense.

Then they can just tee off at QB and Edwards can't move like Losman. They probably would just run and throw short, no matter what.

If we go to Trent late in the game, I think you have to stay with him for the rest of the season. Think about it...it would be the second time this kid has been benched, well, I guess third time, I forget how many times JP got pulled during Mularkey. But he will officially be shot, confidence-wise.

If they make a move, theyre going to have to follow through with it.

Losman is our QB, period.
At least until the bye week.

What good does it do? Edwards playing against more 2nd team scrubs isnt going to change anything, will be the same thing as in preseason. Kid shouldnt see the field as a starter till around week 10 imo

I was thinking between week 9-12. Good post!

We all know that this is not a playoff team, I'm not ready to shake things up and officially throw another 1st round draft pick out the window before I give him a chance to show his stuff without being handcuffed by the playcalling. I also find it hard to believe that he just got this lousy after one offseason. He was starting to turn it around and look good last year.

Thats not what I said at all, I dont think Losman has it, I dont think he has the mental capability to do the job. He shocked me last season but reverted back to his old form this year. I only say Losman should be the starter because the point is to win games and as sad as it is he is still the best option to do that.

okay, i guess we didn't agree. Either way, I don't want the rookie QB to see the field until at least week 9, preferably week 12.

Or not at all.

You can't give up on JP after 2 games. That's ridiculous.

Re: If we're down 40 points at the half...

Edwards should NOT see the field this week unless JP gets hurt. NE is too good and will tee off on him and destroy his confidence.

This has nothing to do with whether or not JP deserves to be in there- it has to do with protecting Edwards and developing him properly. We can't throw him to the wolves against NE in their house.

well, actually, it's not two games. I believe this week will be his 27th start (8 in 05 before he was pulled, all 16 last year and Sunday will be his 3rd game this year). So it's much closer to two whole seasons than it is to two games.

I don't know why people seem to think that nothing that happened before this season started actually counts.

It's J.P's job to lose.
