All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Evans Says There's No Rift With Edwards
Paul Hamilton - Wednesday, December 5, 2007 - 5:00 PM
Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550)-It’s well documented that Bills WR Lee Evans wanted J.P. Losman to remain the club’s starting quarterback. That had led some fans to think that Evans doesn’t like Trent Edwards or can’t play with him. I asked Evans just that Wednesday and he responded with, “I think that’s crazy.............................
That's my sentiment as well: Trent really does not know the offense that well yet. Losman has been in the offense for two years now, in the league for 4. So it's not a surprise that a player like Lee, particularly coming to the time where a big pay day is pending on his stats, would prefer Losman despite all his shortcomings.
On the other side of the coin, you wonder that despite his limited knowledge of NFL and experience, he's playing at a level on par/arguably better than Losman, what is his upside? Those who prefer Losman, waiting for Losman to finally "get it", have to ask themselves what about waiting for Edwards to get it. After all, isn't Edwards younger, and more importantly, having a bigger upside by projecting their career path so far?
I think a lot of people can't get over Losman's big arm. It's so true even for many GMs, coaches, and scouts. Personally I can't get over Edwards mental capabilities as a QB.
