The NFL is a win now type league, waiting 4- 5 years for these kids to grow at a position is no longer a feasible idea. In this era of free agency, you get the initial 4-5 to train these kids on the cheap and the contract they got set up on lets them force you to either pay a ton or take their training elsewhere.
It makes no sense to wait these lengths of time for them to get "it". Look at these examples Brady, Big Ben, Palmer, Rivers, The Redskins Jason Campbell, we watch these guys perform nearly out of the gate. Brady stepped on the field and literally won NE a championship, do you think this was by accident? People walk around everyday possessing talents they never knew they had and it gets passed over. These guys are singled out because of their talents and are watched. They get trained by some of the best staff known and get taught how to learn, football.
These types used to come around once in a while but something is happening to the kids. They are getting smarter, faster. The college programs are getting so much better forced by a increasing pressure to perform and the TV revenue the schools earn are driving it even further home. It's a big business and they pay their kids with scholarships, a free education and a chance to be drafted. The schools know what's riding on the big bowl game, a fortune every year. They even pay NFL coach money type money now, it's an investment for enrollment and to make all the kids lifelong fans of the school and to be proud of where they came from. Then 50 years later, a few of those kids get old and drop a few more million in the schools bank. 10,000 students every year pass through, that = Millions in future donations, it will help keep the doors open for a long time. Ask the catholic church about training the young and making more kids.
I feel that Edwards has stepped out of the gate nearly in JP's shoes talent wise and with a much sharper mind. Do you really think the Bills incredible training staff made this kid a last split second releasing reading defenses schemes making quick adjustment genius? TE steps up a few feet to avoid pressure, not 20 yards. In the NFL there is no time to run 20 yards, 1 yard is just about enough time.
It's there mind that sets these types of people apart. The are scouted as pro's that are lacking the final touches on the talent. Bodies are molded with the mind into a final product and drafted. Talent is only as trainable as the mind that holds it, without the mind the body cannot follow. Plan on Trent never seeing the bench again, we have our future QB.
