Trent Dilfer that is.
He said from his own concussion experience that the first time you come back, no matter how clear you feel or whatever the doctor says, you always mis-read something. And he marveled at how sharp Edwards was the entire game. He ended up saying Edwards will be a force to be reckoned with in NFL for a long, long time.
Now that was my concern for him to come back from the concussion in Arizona. I'm glad he's coming through in flying colors. In helps that the pass protection was good today and the weather was perfect.
On a unrelated subject, Donte Witner said something about Edwards that disturned me:
"Trent is playing as well or better than any quarterback in this league right now," said safety Donte Whitner, "as far as getting the ball out, not turning the ball over and being efficient with what he's doing.
"I'm very confident in Trent. In the past it was tough because you didn't know exactly what you were going to get from the offense. You didn't know if you were going to get points, so you almost had to play perfect on the defense side of the ball. And once you try to play perfect, you make mistakes.
"So with Trent out there I don't have any worries at all. I sit on the bench, drink a little water, a little Gatorade and I glance over at the scoreboard. We need him out there. I felt like if we had him for the entire game against Arizona we might be sitting here talking about a 6-0 football team instead of 5-1. I really believe that.
I'm sorry Donte. As a team leader, you should not openly throw one of your teamates under the bus. That highlighed portion is, to me as clear as a cloudless sky, a jab at JP Losman. The last time I checked, you and the defense laid a big egg in Arizona, not the backup quarterback.<!--IBF.ATTACHMENT_1175681--><!-- THE POST -->
