    Early returns on Edwards are very good

    I like Edwards. He has poise. He is accurate. He has nice throwing mechanics. He makes all the throws.

    I was pretty sure from watching him that he was going to be a good player. The question I had is: how good? How high is the ceiling?

    It is early, but based on the first couple games this season the ceiling may be quite high. Edwards is running the Bills offense with great efficiency, and you can see the confidence his teammates are developing in him.

    You guys have been waiting a long time to get a QB to build around. All those years of yearning for the next Kelly. It seems you may have finally found the answer.

    Granted, Edwards still has to prove he can keep it up over the long haul. There will undoubtedly be highs and lows along the way.

    However, color me impressed. This kid may be ready to burst onto the scene.

    He has definitely been efficient, and we'll take that right now. If he turns into the next great Bills QB, even better.

      His pocket poise is uncanny. He literally stepped up from a reaching hand and fired a strike to Evans and on the very next play hit Hardy 11 feet in the air. What is not to like?

        He's done what we all were hoping what JP would do...Mature and take his game to the next level. For the first time since Kelly I feel confident in the QB able to take the ball and go downfield to score when needed.

            The Real Deal... his throws make me tear up.
            I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
            "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
            You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
            It was all             true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
            He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can             mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

              I've been cautiously hesitant so far when it comes to being too pleased with him, just because we've been burned multiple times before... but I must say, the kid is growing on me on a weekly basis.

              If he keeps up this consistency throughout the year, I'll be a very, very happy camper.

                  The keys will definitely be whether he can stay on the field and maintain consistency over the course of the season.

                    Vision. I remember two plays, one in the 2nd quarter when Edwards was scanning downfield and a defender broke thru, he immediately dumped the ball to Lynch (or Jackson) on the flank; avoided a sack and gained a couple. The second is that long bomb to Evans in the 4th. Again he had Lynch on the flank but he waited until Evans got open.

                    This is almost Brady/Manning like, folks. He knows where his guys are and knows how much time he has and he chooses the best options.

                    I hate to bring Losman into the discussion but for comparison purpose, Losman would wait for Evans totally unaware of his other options nor how much time he has. Edwards of a year ago would go to the second option, or third option right away but now I feel the game has slowed down for him that he feels comfortable to pick and choose a little.

                      that was under Fairchild. Let it go. Comparisons then mean nothing under a different OC which had a downfield Martz system but was stupid about it.

                        I'm not 100% sold on Edwards so far, but I will say two things:

                        1. He's definitely improving. He's smart, makes good decisions with the ball and feels the pressure.
                        2. He doesn't make me nervous. For the first time in years, I can watch a Bills QB without thinking "Don't worry about the first down- PLEASE just don't turn the ball over or lose 20 yards!"

                          I agree.

                          Him just playing smart has impressed me. And the fact that he doesn't get rattled in a big situation.

                          I said it after the Washington game last year but the fact he could get them down the field for the FG attempt was huge. Some QB's would get rattled and crumble. He doesn't seem to notice and just plays.

                          The 3rd down pass to Evans was not only huge, but gutsy at the same time. It was a thing of beauty.

                            On his throw to Shouman for a 1st down, Reed was open and all alone. Would've been a TD.

                            It was a great conservative decision by Trent but if you want to win sb's , Trent has to go for that pass to Reed and make it on a consistent basis. In time he will gain the confidence to do so. I want Trent to be a qb that goes for the kill.

                            He was awsome on 3rd downs .Usually a sign that he's gonna be clutch.

                              so far so good. 20/25 is better than respectable.
