Curious that the Bills official website has Evans quote of nice words on Edwards. I suggest you go to wrg55 website and listen to the Evans show. Evans clearly stated that in his personal opinion, that Losman should be playing QB, injury not withstanding.
By no means I think Evans will stab Edwards in the back that kind of thing. To me he always comes across as a professional so I know he'll adjust and play hard for Edwards just as he did for Losman.
But he did talk more candidly than he said of any other QBs that he's played with for what I remember, probably due to his staue in the Bills now. He flatly called the 54 yard bomb on Sunday a "not very good throw", and noted it is hard to catch a ball "not in tight spiral." He said Edwards did not put the ball where he (Edwards) wanted to be.
Interestingly, he faced several hostile callers in a row, one after one reminding him Edwards "has produced", and the whole Bledsoe/Brady situation. One caller wanted him or his guest McGee to answer the question where would Brady be now had New England sticked with the policy of not losing jobs due to injury. One caller even suggesting that he should cut in front of Rolle in that INT throw. In the end, Lee said it is his personal opinion Losman should get back to the starting QB job.
Frankly I like it. It is refreshing to see a different opinion instead of the company line. It just showed me how much rope Edwards has to learn in his position despite what he has done. Evan has a pretty good explanation on the INT. I'm now convinced that Edwards did not adjust his read like Evans did after the ball was snapped when Baltimore showed the real hand of coverage on that play. It is a good lesson for Edwards, I suppose. If he does not make that kind of mistake again, I assume he'll earn the respect of his teamates, like Evans.
