    What if....

    Edwards absolutely sucks against Dallas?

    If Edwards plays well again, I think it would be really tough to argue that JP should get the start coming off the bye. But if Edwards sucks, then we really only have one game to go on, and one game is not enough to decide if a player is good or bad.

    I have a feeling they'll be splitting time in practice over the two weeks after the bye and the coaches will be making a last minute decision.....

    Hopefully Edwards will play well against Dallas and it won't be as big an issue. Don't get me wrong- I like JP and I'd like to see him do well, but I'd much rather see the Bills win and that may mean Edwards rather than Losman.

    Enjoy it, people- Flutie/Johnson, Losman/Bledsoe and now the next great QB controversy is here!

    I totally agree with the bold part. I really wish people wouldn't turn this into a QB controversy. There's nothing wrong with having both of them on the team, and if JP was supposed to start for the Dallas game but isn't healthy enough, they should put in TE. Whether he blows it or not, shouldn't decide it, because rookies are prone to mistakes, etc. I wish TE the best against Dallas (I hate that team)
    I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

      If Edwards does well, and even if it's in a losing effort, it's going to be reeeeeeal hard for Jauron to put JP back in there, and if we win? Holy crap, that would be somethin but very doubtful, but if Edwards does stink it up against the Cowgirls, we might see JP back in again, and it'll be his job to lose...again...and the very first moment JP starts to struggle, you're going to hear clamorings for Edwards. So yes...I think this is a QB contraversy in the making. But fortunately for us, it's with Edwards and not Holcomb and Nall.

        I don't really think they'll be a controversy at least in the coaches' minds. It's been obvious to me since they drafted him that they're high on Edwards.

          I think some people are overreacting to Edwards having one good game, but at the same time, it's his 4th game in the league and only the 2nd one where he played, and he looked far better than JP has after 26 starts (officially 27 but I won't count the NE game since he only got two plays).

          If Edwards can continue to play like that, he's only going to get better, whereas JP has taken forever to improve and the doubts about whether or not he'll ever "get it" are well warranted. The problem is that we still don't know if the Jets game was a fluke for Edwards or not.

          So, we take one more look at Edwards against Dallas and then we trust the coaches to make the right decision....

            Re: What if....

            All I know is, Im excited about this game coming up...and if JP was starting...I wouldn't be. It's very psychological now just because you almost KNOW what youre getting with JP by now...he's shown you what he can do, and it' snot much. I was talking to one kid at the bar and we were discussing how whenever Edwards threw the ball...and before the camera panned over to show who he was throwing to...you pretty much KNEW when he went back to pass, it was going to be a good completion...you didnt have that with JP...he went back to pass and youd see an overthrow, and underthrow, a defender almost intercept it...

            but I tell you what, almost everytime he ddropped back to pass, you were like this is awesome, it's going to be a nice gain, and it usually was. now yeah, it was the jets, but like i said im excited because we're playing a 4-0 team next week and it will be a real nice test for Edwards to see how real he is thus far, and see if we can put this QB thing to rest.

              If Edwards does well against Dallas keep him in. He will have faced a good team with a solid Defense. If he struggles JP goes back in. That is my Opinion of how they should handle it.

                  and that's prolly how they WILL handle it. But we'll still hear fans *****ing that JP's still on the roster. He did good in the second half of last year when he was given more freedom like TE was given yesterday. Neither of them were given freedom in the 1st 3 games. I like having both of them on the team.

                    Not to realists.

                    JP has had his time. Game over.

                      Why would that be a reason to put Losman back in? JP has started and struggled against many defenses. Trent only gets to start once and struggle?

                        I want TE to have the next 3-4 games atleast to see what he can do, regardless if JP is healthy or not. It looks like Faichild's system is well suited for a QB like TE.

                          Edwards will have to play horrible not to be the starter.

                            Exactly.

                            Also, we need to see what Edwards can do in preparation for next year's draft.

                              Edwards did well in the pre-season but... that was against guys that will be bagging groceries.

                              Edwards beat the Jets, but... they are a bad team!

                              Maybe just maybe he is a good QB, I like his poise, pocket presence and ability to make sound decisions with the ball!

                              I say lets roll with him!

                              P.S. Marv please find a #2 receiver for him Goodbye Price!
