You think alot of teams are sorry they missed Edwards on draft day??

[Mitchy moo]

Everybody had a few shots at him and passed. He is currently the only Rookie QB that's a full time starter as well.

The Answer has heard from various sources around the league that several teams front offices are kicking themselves in the head for passing on the next Tom Brady.

Finally something goes our way and thank you Marv Levy for drafting the young stud that will save this sagging franchise from extinction!

If TE does come through like I think he will, it may have a great affect on keeping the team in Buffalo. It normally becomes more difficult to move a world champion team.

[OpIv37]

seriously, you people are going overboard and being the ultimate homers here.

I like Trent and he definitely has potential, but he has a 2-2 record over 4 games where he played well for a rookie (which is not the same as playing well).

Please, try to put this in persepective. Is there reason for hope? Yes. Is Edwards the next Brady? It's WAY too early to tell, and he'll never be the next Brady unless we get him some receivers.

[Mr. Miyagi]

So where are those posters who said Edwards was a terrible pick for us and how he was a luxury we couldn't afford?

I think I remember some of who they were...:scratch:

For the 100th time - Edwards is 2 - 1 as a starter not 2 - 2

Also Brady never had receivers either until this year. If Evans stays a bill and produces all we need is to find a legit #2 and a true TE threat this offseason and we'll be good. Lynch is primed for beast mode as well and it's only a matter of time before he starts catching some screen passes and taking them to the house!

Dude, he is only a rookie. Let's not proclaim him as the next Tom Brady. Have none of you learned from the Losman situation?

[The Answer]

The Answer isn't going to pull out the NFL rule book - but the QB that starts the game is credit for the W/L - whether he plays for 1 series or 10 series.

Edwards had no preparation yet managed to drive the team right down the field for a TD unlike Loseman who fumbled the ball away on his last play as a starting QB for the Buffalo Bills - pretty fitting he will be remembered for his usual inept, turnover prone play.

Plus he doesn't really have good stats right now either. Personally, I don't think he could carry Brady's jock right now and I don't ever see him approaching Brady level.

he's 2-2 in the games where he's played. Losman only had one series in the Pats game. You're splitting hairs.

I think I remember some of who they were...:scratch:

I'll admit to being one of those people, but before you gloat, remember that Edwards' numbers aren't much better than Losman's and there are several positions on the field where we're hurting. So you really can't say definitively that drafting Edwards was better for the team than picking someone for another position (at least not yet).

This isn't baseball. No quarterback gets credited for a win/loss regardless of what happens.

That being said, if Buffalo had managed to hold onto the lead against New England you would say Losman got the win for that despite only playing three plays? Bull****.

Folks, TE had basically no reps during the week and did not start. He filled in for the injured starting QB, that is why he cannot take credit for the loss. History will show TE's first game a win.

[Mr. Pink]

Put me in the same boat as DB on this one. As of right now it may appear that I was wrong too, but the situation will play itself out over time.

[PromoTheRobot]

Right but his overall record is 2-2. That is fact.
Edwards record is 0-4. Because the 2 games the Bills won, JP could've done better. And the 4 games we lost Edwards was somewhere inside the stadium, so it's his fault. Those are the facts. Deal with it. :bad:

PTR

[trapezeus]

i think this is a fair post. it's different from the rest of the JP vs TE posts.

personally, i think no one is evaluating the 2007 draft from a personnel standpoint in the NFL. TE's knocks were that he was a losing QB with injury problems. none of the has been settled definitively by playing on the Bills.

let's see how this season turns out for him...then i think you'll see teams like minny, jacksonville, etc who knew they wanted a different QB, take a hit for passing on him.....based on TE continuing his growth.

[jamze132]

I remember asking why we took another QB so early, then I remembered that Levy didn't draft JP so he wanted to make sure he got his guy.

Regardless, all I care about is getting wins. If Jeff George can get us some wins, bring em' in!

Pot, kettle, black. Do you really want to go there? You are the one who continued to beat up Losman, even when he was injured and all summer long. You are one that wouldn't leave the horse alone. :rolleyes:

1-I would guess there are a few teams at this point that have at least thought out loud that they wished they would have drafted him. Let's see how he does the rest of the year.

2-Frank Reich got a ton of press when he replaced Kelly after injury, especially after he won a few games in a row and a couple of play-off games, including The Comeback. His first couple of games weren't exactly impressive from a statistical standpoint, either, but he got better as time went on.

3-I didn't like the pick of Edwards at the time...Thought they should've gone CB. Then again, I didn't think a starting QB would be a 'need' at that time, either. I'm glad they snagged him now, though.

[PECKERWOOD]

I bet ya the Jets, Miami, Chicago and Detroit have all thought about it!

[Wally The Barber]

If I was Miami or Minnasota, I would be REAL sorry

[YardRat]

Nobody has seen Beck play for Miami, yet. They may not regret it at all by the end of the year.

I'd rather have drafted a capable QB in the 3rd rather then the 2nd. They could have done so many other things with their first two choices.. Just a thought.

[Typ0]

How much of the NE game did JP play?

you watch only the games and that's all you see. You greatly underestimate the importance of preparation. It's the same reason people were still calling JP a rookie last year despite having three years of preparation in an NFL system.

~The Answer

For the 101st time, TE played all but three plays. The Pats game was HIS to win or lose. By the way, your third person act is long past "old".

To cling to the "he didn't start so the loss isn't TE's" is pure denial and logic manipulation at best.

Record: 2-2 where it counts.

Hopefully, after tomorrow, it will be 3-2.

[YardRat]

If Beck pans out, there are no woulda's, shoulda's, coulda's...the pick would then be justified.

[PECKERWOOD]

It would be even more justified if he was taken in the 3rd and he pans out. That's what's commonly known as a steal and it would mean that they would have gotten better value in the 3rd round than some did in the 1st and 2nd rounds.

You're assuming that Beck would be available in the third, and that their second round pick would have an impact. For argument's sake, their theoretical second-rounder could've been a bust. Beck could still be a bust...he hasn't even seen the field yet.

Once the draft is over, where a player was taken is moot. From that point on it only matters when, if, and how much he contributes.

[mybills]

The question asked if (a lot) of teams are sorry. There are probably (some) teams that are, but it's doubtful that there are (a lot). Many teams thought they had that position covered, and needed help in other areas, while (some) teams did need a QB, and picked them early. While some other teams that could've used one may have had no early enough picks.


DAM! YOU ARE OBNOXIOUS!
That's not the word I was thinking of. :D
