Trent Edwards is a game manager

[ghz in pittsburgh]

is what I heard on Sirius interview yesterday after the game, by a guy (I missed his name) from Scouts In., talking about young QBs in NFL. I remember he mentioned specifically that Edwards is not in a class with Cutler.

Well, Edwards is a year behind Cutler. We'll see by next year this time, he'll change people's mind.

Re: Trent Edwards is a game manager

Yeah, because those two 4th quarter game winning drives the past two weeks would have happened with any old spud under center.

Edwards can win you games, he proved it the past two weeks.

Re: Trent Edwards is a game manager

I don't like the term "game manager". Game managers do not win you football games when its on the line.

Re: Trent Edwards is a game manager

Not someone you can win with, yet, single-handedly brought the team from behind to win two consecutive games.

hmmm

Re: Trent Edwards is a game manager

he hasn't even started a full 16 games of football yet, of course he's not going to be anything more than a game manager...but im sorry...he didnt manage the game, he WON the past two games for us with clutch throws. not to mention our WR's and Oline stepping up big along with some key big runs by Lynch.

you dont "manage" a game by throwing almost 300 yards.

Re: Trent Edwards is a game manager

He's in his second year and he looks way ahead of the curve...
As has been said, he's already had two come from behind victories.
Some people just need to get a grip.

Re: Trent Edwards is a game manager

Here's how Scouts Inc works. They look at stats and give opinions. They don't watch any games. So if they see Cutler throwing 400 yards 4 TDs and Trent 225 yards 1 TD, they label each player accordingly regardless of how those stats are achieved.

Yesterday McNabb threw for 196 yards 1 TD and 1 INT. He's just a game manager like Trent Dilfer.

The term game manager has been around a while.
The definition of a game manager is a QB that won't lose the games for you, but can't win them on his arm alone either. Does this discribe Trent?

not even close. Trent has carried this team on his back in the 4th quarter the last 2 games.

Re: Trent Edwards is a game manager

He was probably a big fan of Losman at one point and is a little bit bitter over being made out to look like an idiot to his internet peers.

Re: Trent Edwards is a game manager

I dont care if hes a game manager a game winner or a doorstop. Bills are winning! Before this year, I cant remember the last time I told my wife the Bills were good... It happened this year.

There will always be haters and lovers. Somewhere along the line, they have to finally say, If we win with Trent, stick with him. Sometimes it can be just about the ability to win you games. I'd rather take the ability to win games than a godly armed Cannon qb with no brains...*cough* jp *cough*

Re: Trent Edwards is a game manager

It is wrong to put Trent under the "game manager" category.

Trent Dilfer was a game manager during the Ravens superbowl run.

You let your defense do all the work and all you do is put enough points to win.

Trent Edwards is a field general.

He fires up his guys and finds a way to win.

Jay Cutler is what JP Losman could have become in this league...a flashy player with a rocket arm.

I'd much rather have a guy who acts and plays like a winner than a guy who's going to make my fantasy football dream every sunday.

I'd take Edwards over Cutler at this time last year.
