Amusing Sporting News Speculation

[Dr. Lecter]

Elsewhere, the Bills could be inclined to bump Trent Edwards to the bench for a season, if the organization has any soul left to sell after doing a deal with the devil for the aforementioned T.O.

Favre is overrated and washed up. I'm not totally convinced that Trent is the answer, but signing Favre for a year or two at his age isn't the answer either.

on a side note, this wouldn't happen even if it was a good idea- it would require the FO to admit they made a mistake on Trent. They already cut Dockery- one ego blow per off season is the most they can handle.

You're assuming they made a mistake on Edwards. I see no reason to not give him at least another year.

I never said that.

I said signing Favre would mean admitting Edwards is a mistake because they'd be benching him after a season and a half of starting.

It's still too soon to tell if Edwards is a mistake- we should know after this season.

Re: Amusing Sporting News Speculation

i would be pissed. I want to see if Trent is the real deal. Plus Favre didnt play real well last year.

He played good enough to beat us twice.

If you want to get technical, the Jets beats us twice despite Favre's poor play.

Re: Amusing Sporting News Speculation

favre is not the answer for anybody at this point, IMO. i'm bummed he didn't re-sign with the jets. injury or not, he didn't have it at the end of last year. it would be a big mistake for the bills to shelve edwards for a year and go with favre. that's like sweeping your problems under the rug or something; QB would then need to be addressed down the road.

the bills are best off letting edwards sink or swim this year and going from there, rather than putting off that question for another year.

How great was Favre down the stretch last year ?

Re: Amusing Sporting News Speculation

Screw Favre. His washed up self can go to Minnesota like he wants. I'll stick with Trent.

Re: Amusing Sporting News Speculation

I can't believe the Sporting News carries a dope like Florio. Their credibility just took a hit.

Re: Amusing Sporting News Speculation

This is speculation at best and verbal diarrhea at worst by Florio. That said, Florio has actually built a pretty good amount of credibility in the league. At least enough to have NFL films bring him in as one of their interviewees for various segment.s being produced recently.

I couldn't be a Bills fan anymore if that happened.
