Re: Edwards...."be careful what you wish for"

This raises a valid point for those who wanted to bench JP in favor of Trent Edwards:

There were many Bills fans chirping last week that Trent Edwards should move ahead of J.P. Losman on the depth chart. Well, they got their wish Sunday when Losman suffered a knee injury on the first play of Buffalo's 38-7 spanking in New England.

All I can say is "Be careful what you wish for."

Losman has clearly struggled, but it wasn't time to pull the plug on him, and Edwards proved that. The rookie came in and was terrific on his first drive, leading the Bills 80 yards in 12 plays to their only score. Then the Patriots, who did not prepare to play him, regrouped and stifled Edwards and the Bills for the rest of the day. Edwards may indeed have a future, and he's going to start at least the next two games, but he's going to have to play a whole lot better if he hopes to supplant Losman.

Re: Edwards...."be careful what you wish for"

Let's get some wins first, then we can worry about who is starting. I know some players feelings are going to get hurt but F-em. We need to support Trent and his effort to get us in the W column now.

If trent wins us some games and he is doing well JP can scrub toilets in the back for the rest of the year. It's no longer time to make friends, it's time to make wins.

P.S. Plan on the hall of fame career of JP to be permanetly shelved.

He didn't get first team reps, so he has this week to get ready for his first game.

Enough already with these threads...please!

Re: Edwards...."be careful what you wish for"

omg it was his first game

And he was playing against the best coaching team, and one of the best defenses....Yet the haters still want to condemn him, but JP gets chance after chance?....Just makes no sense at all......




GO BILLS!!!!!!!

Re: Edwards...."be careful what you wish for"

i'm not bashing Edwards. i was posting an article which points out he is not a savior. If anything, Edwards' performance pointed out that play calling is suspect. i want the kid to do well. i'd like for us to win some games this season.

This team is decimated by injuries, and unfortunately, it's going to take a lot more than a rookie QB to turn the season around for us.

Re: Edwards...."be careful what you wish for"

There is even a thread here to bench Edwards and play Nall. No matter that Edwards outplayed Nall to win the backup job and Nall has not been with the team in several weeks.

Re: Edwards...."be careful what you wish for"

How many times has JP led the team to a first drive TD last year and then stunk it up as the game went on? Then Edwards does the same.

I remember when Kelly said in his second year when things weren't working, he said "screw it, I'm doing things my way" and the rest was history.

Re: Edwards...."be careful what you wish for"

The JP bashers who want Edwards to keep playing whether he's good or bad for the next two weeks are being pretty selfish. He needs the opportunity to watch as many games/QB's from the side lines as he can, before being a permanent fixture on the field. Let him learn from them, before you end up calling for his head next. JP will be back, and he'll do what he can to win. I won't believe for one minute that he wants to lose.
