Anticipation? That is the buzz word for this Monday's game. Not because it's our first Monday night game in 13 years but because of what could happen to the direction of our team.
A 23 year old kid, a 3rd round pick from 3,000 miles away who has the gleaming endorsement from one of the brightest and most liked men in the land of football. Walsh left Stanford in 1979 for the 49ers as Elway was just entering Stanford. He scouted Elway. Walsh coached Montana in San Fran. Walsh kept close tabs with Stanford teaching in their graduate school of business while eaves dropping in on the football program. He knew Elway, he knew Montana and he knew Edwards.
I think that there are a lot of us fans that don't dislike JP, but have strong hidden feelings that he just doesn't seem like a fit with us. Lack of consistancy, sometimes jittery feet, lack of accuracy and not the strongest interview. On the same hand we are starving for solid QB play.
I don't know what it is but there is just something about Edwards that gets the mind churning. This is premature with so little that we have seen of him but listen to his 7 minute and 31 second PC on BB.com and tell me he doesn't sound like a friggin 4 year vet. Every answer is right on point. He never studders or grasps for words. He knows exactly what he wants to say and he says it. He uses terminology not of a rookie. His answers are detailed and he even has a sense of humor. Honest, believable, non-arrogant characteristics.
I have hardly ever seen poise in a rookie like he showed on the field against the Jets. There wasn't one bit of nervousness that you could see in him and after he threw that TD pass his giddy dance afterward on his way to Gaines in the endzone showed his passion and excitement for the moment. Not to mention the confidence that the coaches have in him for the type of play calling in the game.
We are all kidding ourselves if we don't believe that this kid is the Bill's future. I wish we had stability at the QB position. I thought we were on our way to stability with JP, but I have serious doubts and I think that the coaches do as well.
Do you remember thinking how poised JP looked in his first NFL start? I don't because I didn't. Hold onto your seats!
