Trent Edwards will surprise alot of people here.

[HHURRICANE]

I think Trent will surprise alot of people here. The guy looked great in pre-season, he played with poise in the regular season games he played, and I think he is one of those guys that will get better with playing time.

He'll make some mistakes but I think he's ready for the challenge.

My prediction is that he'll look good finishing out our season and should get people pumped about next year.

[DraftBoy]

I agree he'll surprise but just the same as JP surprised alot too, unfortunately

[SquishDaFish]

Ill be suprised when he throws something over 40 yards LMAO

[shelby]

My biggest fear is that Jauron will let Losman start again next week.
If that happens, expect the Zone to implode from the outpouring of sheer outrage by the fans.
:scared:

[Philagape]

What's encouraging about Trent is his intelligence. He learns quickly and has a good command of the field for a rookie. That gives reason to believe the numbers will improve with more experience and more weapons.
Now some will point to his picks, but they're confusing intelligence with experience. If he's still doing it at that rate in his third year (ahem), then we'll know he hasn't got it.

Like against the Ravens?

This is what I was talking about the other day as far as loyalty to one QB tainting their view of the other and coming up with ridiculous statements like this one.

[HHURRICANE]

I think Trent would have seen the linebacker covering Reed today. That's intelligence and not physical tools. Gannon ripped JP for that pick.

I think 95% of the starting NFL QB's would of seen the LB there.

[kinigirly]

i think he'll end up to be a mediocre qb just like jp, and just like 90% of the other qbs in the league. there just aren't high caliber qbs in the league anymore except for the obvious few. its sad.

[Philagape]

Right now JP isn't even mediocre.

[LtFinFan66]

How can he surprise people now since he has already played:idunno:

[Ebenezer]

If the kid can go out and complete 60% of his passes and help this team get to just 9-7 next year I will be happy.

Rather than guessing wouldn't you like to find out? would have liked at least the last 6 games. Now we are down to five. If Tent isn't the answer I'd like to at least see us draft the answer.

Instead,we are going to let JP stink up the joint and we can spend all next year guessing if Trent is the guy or not. Just ridculous.

Are you ready to cut Beck? Trent has a few more starts. I would assume that Trent gets the same number of games to prove his worthiness as you are willing to give Beck?

Beck's had 9 weeks for his first start and completed 39% of his passes. Trent had 3 weeks for his first start and completed 79% of his.

I think that Edwards will surprise people by finishing out strong as a rookie!

[kinigirly]

honestly, be my guest. i'd like to see what trent's progression is. i'm to the point i'm really disillusioned in the overall perspective of this team. no matter how good or bad a qb is for us, the team as a whole always regresses back to ******ed tendencies every single season. i expect us to not have "the one" for a long time in terms of qb. trent can probably do better at winning us games than jp now, but it doesn't mean we're going to win. i dunno, my passion has definitely dwindled for this season. same old bs at the 0:00 as usual for the team and i'm just kind of lost

[YardRat]

I like what I've seen from TE so far, especially considering he's a pure rookie.

If he turns into an adequate, every week starter that can command an efficient albiet not necessarily electric offense without making too many errors I won't be surprised.

If he turns into a perennial All-Pro worthy of HOF consideration I would.

Thought I would bring this one back:



"The 6-4, 231-pounder played behind a porous line, getting sacked 84 times in 31 career starts. He suffered a broken right foot seven games into his senior season. But as a junior he threw for 17 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. Edwards is quick in his drops, has good field vision and the ability to anticipate and zip passes into tight windows, a prerequisite of the precision Martz passing system.

"He got hit just about every time he threw the ball," Mayock says. "He had below-average receivers. I look at that as a positive.


"He's a big, strong kid with a good arm and a better athlete than people think."

Mayock knows a little about football...

[SquishDaFish]

I just want to see Ws I dont care whos playing where.

:scared:

About JP, or our coaching staff?

[im4bflo]

I think he'll be a good 2nd stringer.
And when he does get in again, we'll be watching! :popcorn:
We still need a real starting NFL QB.

[jmb1099]

There is no way to know how Edwards will do yet. For the sake of the team I hope he does well. Anyone wishing either QB to tank needs their head examined.

[Bmax]

This is getting old.. Anyone who knows football knows that the bills will go with Edwards next season ....Losman will be traded or cut.. The only questions are when will he start again ? And who will our backup be next year ?

My choice would be a Vet who will help him and just come in when he has to....

Jamie Matin, Tim Rattay.. Josh Mcnown Doug Johnson Ryan Fitzpatrick.. That's all we can get

Unless someone gets cut.....

Slim pickins..

All of the diehard JP supporters are convinced that Trent isn't the answer after 4 games (3-1) but still weren't sure if JP wasn't the answer after 4 years.

It's comical and pathetic at the same time.

That is so true. This is my first day on this board, Im usually on BB.com, but there are the same JP lovers over there as well.
