Source: Bills' Edwards "staying put"

[Coach Sal]

I wrote this before all the Scheffler/SIRIUS rumors, which by the way I have still yet to hear or see a factual link regarding. That's why I mention Scheffler as a "possible" trade target.

If someone has a link from SIRIUS/NFL, etc. stating something definitive please post it.

Thanks Sal. So far, no link anywhere on Scheffler.

I knew Cutler wasn't going to happen... but the whole idea that the Bills would swap QB's was pretty funny.

I still don't understand Bills fans... A QB in Buffalo pretty much has 8 games to prove he is the next coming of Montana, Brady and Manning combined before many Bills fans demand new blood

Edwards has had 22 games so far. Im not calling him a bust. Im not saying he can't be a solid QB in this league, but Cutler is proven.

Re: Source: Bills' Edwards "staying put"

Honestly, I don't care either way.

Edwards hasn't proven anything yet and may be another bust. Cutler would be an upgrade, but he'd also be expensive (in terms of both compensation to Denver and salary), and he has an attitude problem, so I wouldn't be 100% sold on him anyway.

Long story short, I wouldn't mind the upgrade but I'm not upset that it didn't happen.

That's comical...

Cutler:
17-20 career record, 62.5% career completion percentage, 87.1 career rating

Edwards:
12-11 career record, 61.6% career completion percentage, 79.1 career rating

I'm not sure how Cutler is really any more "proven" than Trent, except that he's played an extra season's worth of games.

Not funny at all really

Its not about giving a guy too much or not enough time to prove himself, it is about acquiring a proving probowler for a guy with potential. Why wouldn't you do this? Don't get me wrong I am for Edwards and believe he could succeed.

One went to the probowl the other hasn't. Doesn't mean Trent won't be better down the road but so far based on what we have Culter is more proven.

Re: Source: Bills' Edwards "staying put"

Cutler's proven he can win games or lose them. The quantity is proven, but not the quality.

To say that Cutler is not a more proven QB is ludicrous.

Pro Bowl means nothing to me personally... My point is that neither of them have been overly impressive thus far. We know Cutler has a cannon for an arm and has put up big numbers on occassion, but he's also prone to turnovers and a bad attitude, along with telling everybody just how great he thinks he is, we don't have much real evidence that he's going to be a successful franchise QB.

That's a real easy statement to make, how about putting some substance into it and tell me WHY you think he's so proven?

Re: Source: Bills' Edwards "staying put"

Edwards is loved by the coaches he wasnt going anywhere, now i hope this is true abotu Scheffler he is the addition Trent really needs to get this offense moving in the right direction

Although there are other circumstances that lead to such FACTS/stats , it's better than what you got other than you're a abills fan.
