What's amazing about Trent is he's still standing. Even when he gets the pass off, he gets hit. It's like Stanford all over again.
JP would have had at least four TOs by now, and more sacks.

I only coach Pop Warner football, but there are times I have to tell my QB he's "thinking" too much. Play with the flow of your teamates. He's forcing decisions and passes because he feels he has to. There is no running game to bring us back, so he feels he has to make a play. Not a good thing for a QB in any level of football.

Neither can Trent. He's an antonym for consistency. He starts off 5-0 (not including Arizona cause he got hurt the third play) and now is 0-3. That's as inconsistent as it gets. And he's never been consistent in the games he won. He'd pull it out of his ass in the last quarter. Bottom line is that we need a ****ing quarter back.

Trent has all the tools to be a good, if not, great QB. We need that threat of a running game to keep defenses aloof. Trent is our QB. Lynch is our RB. That O-line is a whole 'nother question.........

TheBrownBear
11-09-2008, 02:40 PM
I have a new appreciation for what JP Losman had to endure as our quarterback. I think Trent has the potential to be a good one, but he's obviously shell-shocked from playing behind this line and getting pummelled and the coaching staff keeps putting him in a position to fail. I think we should lay the whole qb argument to rest until we rid ourselves of this coaching staff.

Nobody's accepting it, it's just that we know what the backup brings, and it's no better. If Trent's playing bad, then there are two bad QBs on the roster.
With that being equal, we just have to stick with the young QB and not mess him up his development further.
And that's just what I said when JP went through bad stretches, until his grace period ran out.

People need to realize that sometimes players are only as good as their coaches and our HC is pretty bad. He is the one constant through all of this and I believe it is time people start to realize he is the problem. I guarantee if they brought in a better HC that Edwards and the entire team would look much different and look much better.

How is the coach at fault when the QB throws a pass high and it's picked off? Or doesn't see the safety and it's picked off? How does a bad coach lead to inaccurate passes?

They have put too much on this kid and he has had to carry the team lately. He is not ready for that. Also, patterns can dictate how successful a QB will be. They run zero slants...ZERO...how is that? They never run short outs...never! This is how bad coaching can make a QB look worse.

You are forgetting about the crappy weather Edwards. He's not good either. I'm sorry, but I'm nowhere near being sold on Trent. I was leaning to it, but maybe we all fell in love with him because he was doing good against the scrub teams and we aren't used to being as good as we were....

im8th2buffalo
11-09-2008, 04:26 PM
Trent is still young. He may turn out to be OK. Our receivers have not been open consistently. Josh Reed who in years past got no respect (in most cases rightfully so), but this year our team misses him being in there. Hardy is inconsistent. Edwards always seems to go short on a team with receivers designed for big plays. The check down is important, but not for every play. Lee Evans has been all but invisible in games where they try to use him as a possession receiver. He is great talent, but the team is not using him well.
The line is not opening holes for the running game. Some of the play calling has been terrible. Throwing on 3rd and 1 consistently is dumb. Peters is not as great as he thinks he is. Shobel and Whitner were definitely missed and Youboty was starting the season well before the injury. If we consistently allow our QB to be pressured and don't pressure the other team's, then we have seen our last win of the season.
I have been a big supporter of Losman, but I feel Edwards needs to stay in there and mature. They made the big mistake of using Losman as a YO-YO. Now that they already did him wrong, keep Edwards in. Young quarterbacks learn in wins, and losses. When you change them too often, it destroys confidence. Don't make the same mistake again.

The difference is Edwards has shown more positive traits and has developed faster. Enough that the poor play lately is unlike him. When JP tanked in Arizona, few were surprised. When Edwards does it, it's more surprising. He's earned that distinction.

I only coach Pop Warner football, but there are times I have to tell my QB he's "thinking" too much. Play with the flow of your teamates. He's forcing decisions and passes because he feels he has to. There is no running game to bring us back, so he feels he has to make a play. Not a good thing for a QB in any level of football.

Trent's shown enough to give him the benefit of the doubt. We KNOW he can do better, because he has. He just needs to get through this.

He has only done better against AWFUL teams. As soon as he faces pressure he crumbles like Star Jones' lawn chair at a church picnic.

He has been consistently awful in the crucial AFC East portion of our schedule, and the rest of the Offense suffers because of his inability to throw the long ball.

His game is bullscheidt little dinks and intermediate patterns and a downfield shot to Evans twice a season.

Opposing coaches are onto him. They know they don't have to defend the long ball, they flood the intermediate zones and give him all the four yard passes he wants, making sure to guard against the run after catch.

His/Jauron's lame-ass Offensive philosophy has been solved, and Edwards doesn't have the physical skills to overcome that.

It's time to start looking again for a QB of the future.

I only coach Pop Warner football, but there are times I have to tell my QB he's "thinking" too much. Play with the flow of your teamates. He's forcing decisions and passes because he feels he has to. There is no running game to bring us back, so he feels he has to make a play. Not a good thing for a QB in any level of football.

Happened to JP his whole career here.

He had 101.3 Quarterback rating in his "bad game". I'll take a 101.3 bad game any day of the week.

Stats dont mater only wins....remember the Trent puff puff girls said so...

I can't wait til next year when this bum is in the CFL so I don't have to see these stupid threads anymore and feel compelled to post in them.

Yes it will be funny to see the contortion boys craft excuses and draw conclusions based on nothing and assert them as facts and football
knowledge.....without blaming jp.

He has only done better against AWFUL teams. As soon as he faces pressure he crumbles like Star Jones' lawn chair at a church picnic.

He has been consistently awful in the crucial AFC East portion of our schedule, and the rest of the Offense suffers because of his inability to throw the long ball.

His game is bullscheidt little dinks and intermediate patterns and a downfield shot to Evans twice a season.

Opposing coaches are onto him. They know they don't have to defend the long ball, they flood the intermediate zones and give him all the four yard passes he wants, making sure to guard against the run after catch.

His/Jauron's lame-ass Offensive philosophy has been solved, and Edwards doesn't have the physical skills to overcome that.

It's time to start looking again for a QB of the future.

Do you watch the games?

Seriously, do you watch the games?

Several times he's proven that people who think he can't throw the long-ball or doesn't have the physical skills are idiots.

And pressure? Like fourth-quarter comebacks on the road against decent defenses? Including a play where he stepped up in the pocket to avoid a sack and threw a 37-yard pass to set up a go-ahead touchdown? Including a 30-yard bullet to set up a game-winning field goal? Or another comeback that included throwing a touchdown pass just as he's hammered by a pass rusher? And all of this with less than a full season under his belt? Are you out of your skull?

Bad jokes may be entertaining only when they come from people who know what they're talking about. Otherwise, they're just bad jokes. Star Jones? Really?

Trent's horrible. He makes awful decisions when he has great protection. He's lucky he only has had two picks today. JP would do much better with this protection so put him in.

Trent had a bad game and I would say this was mainly on him after the early hits on him.

JP is a horrible player and had 4 years to porve it. I'll take my chances with Trent.

Yes it was our resident genius philage3 who once said.."When assessing the qb one must only look at the qb..."

Well if we use that measure Trent looks like a like a lost HS qb among men....forget all else...


la la la I cant hear you....la la la la...

Now you can see how ill-informed you all sounded...

I agree with this poster however...let him stay and build a team around him..... Which I thought we had....

But this is buffalo and it does not happen that way here...

It will be the bus for Rant Edwards soon enough...


Trent is still young. He may turn out to be OK. Our receivers have not been open consistently. Josh Reed who in years past got no respect (in most cases rightfully so), but this year our team misses him being in there. Hardy is inconsistent. Edwards always seems to go short on a team with receivers designed for big plays. The check down is important, but not for every play. Lee Evans has been all but invisible in games where they try to use him as a possession receiver. He is great talent, but the team is not using him well.
The line is not opening holes for the running game. Some of the play calling has been terrible. Throwing on 3rd and 1 consistently is dumb. Peters is not as great as he thinks he is. Shobel and Whitner were definitely missed and Youboty was starting the season well before the injury. If we consistently allow our QB to be pressured and don't pressure the other team's, then we have seen our last win of the season.
I have been a big supporter of Losman, but I feel Edwards needs to stay in there and mature. They made the big mistake of using Losman as a YO-YO. Now that they already did him wrong, keep Edwards in. Young quarterbacks learn in wins, and losses. When you change them too often, it destroys confidence. Don't make the same mistake again.

I'll put all my zonebucks out there, yet again, that barring injury, Trent will be the starter for a long time to come.

You might want to watch all of the other players that aren't contributing as well.

Trent did have a bad game. I think this is the one he deserves the most crap for. But I'm far from worried about his ability to play QB for this team.

I agree...I am not for JP starting...he needs to be heathy for the next team...and if we are not going to win with trent I need some form of entertainment....and reading these posts with dumb guys trying to sound smart is fantastic. I love how they completly forgot what they posted last season and are now hijacking ideas and forgot they even posted them.

JP is done here for sure......but the real question is..

How long before it is the bus for Trent...

And How many of the JP factors will be highjacked for the Trent excuse makers...

Where is the contorted Funtimes analysis
that defenses play better under Trent then Jp?

Where are the "we are the worst at stopping the run and the pass because jp sucks" threads?

Injuries dont mater posts....and qb's dont need weapons posts....and qb's make recievers not the other way around....

We dont need the qb to throw long ball posts?

Steve Fairchild was fine it was JP who sucked posts...

Bunch of hog wash from hog farmers....

NO way! Trent is our future. JP is gone. Not his fault just like it wasn't JP's fault. Difference is, JP had less to work with and Trent is finding out what it's like to be on a team where the coaches don't know their stuff.

I'm not reading through this whole thread because the premise is absurd. With JP, we'd be at best equal and quite possibly worse than where we are right now.

Based on what's happened this season, there is one definite fact that needs to be addressed and one possible fact that needs to be considered.

The definite fact is that the talent around the QB still isn't good enough. This offense needs some serious upgrades to be competitive, regardless of the QB.

The possible fact is that it's entirely possible that none of the QB's on our current roster are the answer, but it's really tough to tell with no help around them.

The difference is Edwards has shown more positive traits and has developed faster. Enough that the poor play lately is unlike him. When JP tanked in Arizona, few were surprised. When Edwards does it, it's more surprising. He's earned that distinction.

Again for the record, I have not once said that JP should be given another chance! Not this thread or in last weeks threads. I don't think we have an NFL QB on this team, we need to go back to the draft or make a trade in the off season.

BTW JP should those same taits. Does anyone remember he finish the 06 season as the 11th ranked QB? Then the injury, the benching the stating and the whole mess. I guess the proof will be if Edwards gets hurt and his home town fans cheer!

Losman won't be a starter for the Bills again unless Edwards is injured, but there were times yesterday when I thought it might be a good idea to put him in for one or two series, to see if he could provide a spark or at least give us his signature long pass play. He couldn't have done much worse than Edwards yesterday, or the week before...

we should run the wildcat with JP as the rb because he can throw better than our rb's but that wouldn't be a wildcat. :ill:

I don't find it acceptable that you Trent supporters just sit here and accept that he's already thrown two interception and it could have been four. Put in JP and see how he does. We need to be able to get a ****ing first down for once and Trent isn't doing ****.

UH Remember the AZ game? JP did his usual INT, Sack, 60+ TD pass and fumble. When JP plays in a game you can always bank on those things to happen.

And face it JP lovers he is not going to be here next year so get used to it. And no i am trent lover i root for the team not the name on the jersey

The difference is that JP CAME OFF THE BENCH and didn'thave time to play with the first team during practice and yet came out with a 101 qb rating. I know those stats are decieving but what's Trents excuse for not at least being able to decieve us these last 3 games ? He's had all the time to practice with the first team.


And face it JP lovers

And no i am trent lover i root for the team not the name on the jersey

UH, we rooted for JP when he was the qb and still wearing the bills jersey yet we get called JP Lovers. Pretty soon, you'll be called a Trent lover for doing the same thing except it's trent.

Do you really think Losman would do any better with out a run game? This is what i find hilarious about the JP fan club. He will do the same thing Edwards is doing squat.

Is it Edwards fault the defense let the pats and the jets have drives in the fourth of 8+ minutes to kill the game?

And don't give me that. "Oh JP has not been practing with the first team" crap. If he is such a savior as many of you want to anoit him as we wouldn't be having this conversation. Losman had his chances to cement himself at starter and he blew it. Now it is time to move on. As long as there is no running game, no blocking, no defense and jaruon is still HC it doesn't matter who is at QB the same result will happen.

Another thing, what happned to "Trent makes the D pay better?"



And don't give me that. "Oh JP has not been practing with the first team" crap..Why not? It's true. It's fact. The coaches admitted that. So what's Trents excuse for playing worse than JP even with better talent?

This isn't about Trent vs. JP. Trent is our qb, JP is gone. Just make sure that there are no double standards. The people that blamed JP solely for the failures of the ENTIRE TEAM should be blaming Trent but they aren't. We were right those guys were wrong.

Oh I am all for giving Trent more chances as a matter of fact, I am more forgiving then the Trent fans. I am consistent in saying, IT ISN'T all the qb's fault. It wasn't when JP was the qb and it isn't with Trent either. :up:

Trent's layed 3 goose eggs in a row, single handedly cost us all 3.
I think its JP time, now more than ever. Teams won't be able to just sit
and cover the underneath pass and stop the run. They'll have JP-to-Evans Deep on there minds.....Jauron doesn't have the stones to yank TE for this week's MNF game...
