What do we do next training camp? Hand him the job? Find someone to compete with him? Next Year is put up or shut up year for Dick and Marv. They can't use next year as a "develop Trent " year. Playoffs or GTFO.
What if the next OC thinks Fairchild is a MORON and thinks he mishandled both JP and Trent. What then?
We were beaten by a superior team, plain and simple. This is not the QB's fault.
he is the guy for the job
is we go into every offseason looking for a battle at the qb position we will never win...... o ya still a rookie
I agree. I'm not blaming the loss on Trent not at all. Question is, is he our franchise qb? Should we just annoint him ? JP had to compete for the job, I say we bring in someone to compete. JP is gone anyways.Originally Posted by shelby

I am, and the new OC will understand it as well. JP's ship has sailed for the final time.
They will need to bring in a vet as a back-up, though, to replace JP's spot on the roster.

So you're convinced he's the franchise qb we're looking for?
JP was annointed his second season after far less playing time.
Karma's a *****.
Maybe he can call Bledsoe and cry on his shoulder how unfair it is...I'm sure Drew will understand.
Hope fully Trent doesn't bust . You guys are pining all your hopes on a win now league.
That's why the talking of staying inhouse and making QB coach Turk Schonert makes more and more sense, although he has no history as an OC which is a little worrisome.
hopefully we won't make the same mistake by annointing Trent? Is that what you're saying?
i don't believe that TE is our franchise QB. i'd like to see us pick up a veteran through FA in the offseason. Drafting a QB, however, is not necessary.
Ah, aren't you tired of first time coaches? GW, Moolarkey, Fairchild ? I mean , I'm happy with first time DC, Fewell but our O has been an insult to Kelly and the K-Gun ever since he left.
make the vet compete for the starting job?
Depends on who the vet is. In most instances, give the vet the starting job.
TE has a lot of positives, but he is not yet ready to be our starting WB. In my opinion.
Are we gonna use next year as a year to develop Trent?
That's not my decision.
Are you comfortable with TE as our starting QB in '08?
Mularkey was our HC. There's a difference between being a head man and an OC. Fairchild was supposedly the OC in St Louis before coming here. While I would welcome a Brian Billick (see what I just said about Mularkey?) a safer approach could be going inhouse. Not that I think is the best option but all things considered it seems to a way things could go. Of course who knows maybe Schonert just needs to chance to show he's more then just a QB coach in this league.
as long as he wins the job , yes! I was just as tough JP like I am on Edwards until JP beat out Holcomb for the job and I respected that decision. I think Edwards should not just be handed the job. No player is above the entire team. No season should be given up for the sake of developing 1 player even if it's the qb. If he isn't ready, he sits until he is. Thats the way it was with Derek Anderson
So what if Moolarkey was the HC. It was his offense. Dick doesn't know how to call the shots offensively so our O today and last year was Fairchilds O, not Dicks.
