Remember the end of 2004? After a crappy start, we made an improbable run at a playoff spot and came up just short.
Because we were winning, JP stayed on the bench and Bledsoe played out the season. When '05 started, JP clearly would have benefitted from the experience.
Well, we're right back in the same situation. We still have a shot at the playoffs, so Edwards isn't playing. But like Bledsoe, it's becoming painfully obvious that JP isn't the right QB for this team.
I'm not convinced Edwards is the answer either, but going forward in the off-season, it would be nice to have some indication of whether or not he's servicable so we have the option of going in a different direction with QB.
This is an interesting predicament because this team is 5-5 and still has an outside shot at the playoffs (even though I think it's a lot less realistic than the mathematics make it sound). If we play Edwards, it will piss off the vets (Jauron already made that mistake) and send a signal that this year is training camp for next year. If we don't play Edwards, we're making the off-season even more difficult and potentially screwing up the future.
So, what do we do?
