    Who Trent Edwards reminds me of

    I was talking with a family friend yesterday, so I cant say I came up with the comparison myself. But after digesting it for a bit, I came to the conclusion that I agree.

    I don't know why, it's actually kinda stupid, but we always like to compare our guys to other guys. With Lynch you hear Stephen Jackson a lot, or maybe Lee EVans to Reggie Wayne.

    With Trent Edwards, a good comparison IMO is to a younger Phil Simms. Simms had a good arm but not among the league's best. HE sure as hell wasn't all that mobile. In fact, he had rock feet. I see some of that in Edwards already.

    But Simms has some tremendous assets and I think I see at least glimpses of it in Edwards. Simms had a really quick release. He was ridiculously accurate (anyone remember their Super bowl win). He was poised as hell and most importantly, he was a tremendous THINKER behind center. I think that these are all traits Edwards has shown glimpses of and with some devlopment and a couple of better weapons around him we'll see a lot more of.

    He'll never be confused with a great HOF QB, but I'll take a Phil Simms for the next decade any day of the week. AT least with a QB like that, though boring at times, he's going to force you 9 times out of 10 to beat you, and won't beat himself.

    Edwards has potential. i'm not prepared to compare him to anyone yet, because i haven't seen enough of him. It will be interesting watching him develop.

      Pat, you may not be too far off. The potential is there and if the surrounding cast is strong enough, we'll have a winning team. Right now we are having trouble scoring which means that we have to find a better formula that works each and every week for us to score. The Defense has gotten noticably better and the offense which was supposed to be our strength has been lacking at best. Our special teams though mediocre yesterday is great, we expect more from them week in and week out.

          Simms will be nice comparison if Trent does improve.

          Right now Trent reminds me of a slightly better version of Todd Collins.

            JP reminds me a lot of Kyle Boller.

                Edwards reminds me of Pennington, gets it but doesn't have the physical tools.

                    I got ripped for trynig to compare TE with another QB...good luck Pat and don't forget to put your hard hat on.

                      everyone was comparing JP with a young Farve for a while and look how that turned out
                      In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.

                        The national media types have been lining up for either Losman or Edwards. Ironically, Phil Simms is one of the minority who is dissing Edwards and touting Losman as the better choice for the Bills.
                        I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                        I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                          I've never seen Pennington throw 50 yards in the air.

                            edwards has never thrown a good pass that far either.
