I saw the biggest difference between Edwards and Losman on Sunday. And I don't say it to berate Losman either.
But the passes to Jackson and Reed is what sets the two apart.
In my OPINION. Losman hits both those passes too. The difference is they probably hit them in the numbers or they wait a split second longer for the ball and those guys go down after making the catch immediately.
With the Jackson pass, Edwards had that ball TIMED perfectly.. He hit Jackson in perfect stride, which allowed him to outrun Fletcher and turn it into a huge 55-yard play.
With the Reed pass, Edwards hit Reed IN STRIDE, which allowed him to make a play for the other 8 yards necessary to get into original FG range.
IN all seriousness; if that's Losman back there, if he even sees Reed (not locked on Evans the whole time) it probably takes him at least a full second to get rid of that ball. If Reed doesn't catch that in stride and has to wait a split second for that ball, he gets tackled on the spot. The Bills are out of FG range, have to spike the ball and the game comes down to a hail mary in the end zone.
not just compared to Losman (he's the basis for comparison since he's our 'other' QB), but in general; Edwards sees things so much quicker than JP it's mind boggling.
Again, in MY OPINION. On that kind of road game, I'd bet JP gets sacked at least 3-4 times and has 2+ turnovers.
Trent has A LOT of work to do. He's the first to admit he threw a handful of poor balls Sunday. But man, how can a real Bills fan not appreciate the upside on this kid.
I did, and I especially now think he's really going to be the best rookie QB in this class, bar none.
