Trent Edwards problem is an inexperienced O-line and OC along with a HC who should be coaching the DB's.
Trent Edwards problem is the bone headed FO that decided to get cute and revamp a decent O-line in the offseason.
Trent Edwards problem is the Buffalo Bills don't have a clue on how to do anything right including develop a QB without getting him killed.
hahahaha, flip flopping again...classic dog14787
Dude, make up your mind. One week Trent is better than Jim Kelly and "magical". Then, after you got flamed unmercifully by so many posters for literally inventing a fake second concussion last season to try and make yet another excuse for him, you flip flop in the very same thread 2 posts later to say Trent does suck and isnt an NFL QB...you literally called for Fitz to start.
You also ball washed AVP and called for him to be HC. Now you are once again making excuses for Trent and actually blaming your beloved AVP as an additional excuse?
So, I am asking you right now, which is it? You have said Trent is better than Jim Kelly, and you have also said 2 weeks ago he isnt an NFL QB and Fitz should be starting. Now you are back to making excuses for Trent...
Piece of advice, if you are going to go from one side to the other on so many topics so many times, maybe you shouldnt call everyone a "retard", "idiot", "moron", "dumbass", etc. considering how often you "change" your mind (aka, flip flop)

Well if you discount the Super Bowl win in 2002 then you have to factor in Gruden's his work was the Raiders. The Raiders were a constant threat to win the Super Bowl from 2000-2002 (Conference title game in 2000, lost on the Tuck rule in 2001 in the second run, and Lost the Super Bowl in 2002).
Gruden might not have built that Tampa team in 2002 but he did take them farther then Dungy which is still an accomplishment. So while his post 2002 work with Tampa might have been mediocre his work with the Raiders and the 2002 run was pretty dam good.
So Gruden was pretty key in rebuilding the Raiders (Which as we see now isn't an easy thing to do and might be one of the few situations that is actually worse than the Bills) and if he came here to Buffalo I would be confident he could do a similar job. As for Allen his work with Tampa was fairly below average but he was a part of rebuilding the Raiders in a senior consultant form.
I hear ya, and his time with the Raiders is the reason I would be fine with him taking over for DJ. Still, I think there are better options out there... Which Gruden do you get? How intrumental was he in rebuilding the Raiders? If you think about, the same can be said for him in Oakland. They finally made the SB once Gruden left. And regardless what anyone says, IMO the Tuck rule was the correct call according to the rules. So, as far as I am concerned he lost that game fair and square.
All I know is he was given a tremndous amount of influence in TB, way more than Oakland, and that organization was never the same again and he was eventually fired for losing the trust of his team. His managing of QB's considering we yet to have one, also concerns me unless he brings in a proven vet.
-
You may be right about the trust issue. Im not going to comment because I wouldnt know. But he didnt exactly have the best scenario in Tampa. Not that he would for sure here either. But he most likely wouldnt be handcuffed to no 1st and 2nd round picks for the first few years. He would have a QB that IMO even he could coach and progress with, and if not theres always FA or the draft.
The fact is that he is miles better than Jauron. I would take Gruden and the worst team in the league over Jauron and these Bills almost any day. Chances are about 50/50 on who would win that game.
Yeah I hear ya, like I said, I too would take Gruden over DJ if for nothing else the attitude he brings. I just think there are better options available so he is not my first choice. I think he is over hyped and the fact his team didnt trust him or belive he could win is a lot bigger than many people understand.
One other thing about Gruden is that he prefers veteran QB's not young QB's and has never really had any success yet developing a young QB. In fact, TB managed their QB's worse than how we have handled ours in Buffalo, and thats saying a lot and that was one of the contributors to why his team didtnt trust him. So if we do get a young QB in the draft, I would have some concerns on whether Gruden would have the patience to develop him.
I think Bruce Allen makes our FO worse...look at our draft this year for example, it is looking like a very good draft. There wasnt a single year in TB under Allen that was considered a "good" draft let alone a very good draft and they werent missing thsoe draft picks mentioned by some all 7 years they were there.
So would I be upset if we got Gruden...No. Would I prefer him to DJ...Yes. Do I think he is over hyped...Yes
Would I be upset if got Allen...Yes. Do I think he is any good...Nope
-
Could be, but really all I am saying is he was put in a tough position. I don't think anyone can truly blame AVP at this point, it's not his offensive design.
Tough position yes...but seriously, his literal lack of making any offensive adjustments is inexcusable. We have a young OL that has had its struggles and a QB who bails on the plays the first sign of pressure and checks down failing to get our WR's invovled...so how do you fix that? Slants, quick routes, crossing routes, 3 step drops and fire, etc, etc. (see Wes Welker to see how a team has mastered these routes).
So, if our O Line cant hold the D out long enough for Trent to be comfortable, then you need to adapt. And lets be honest, Trent doesnt seem to understand how to slide in the pocket and create more time for routes to develop either, so that really compounds the problem. Yet another reason AVP has to adjust and find new ways to get our WR's the ball.
We literally have the most predictable offense in the NFL by a mile, and its a joke. We run the same sets and the same plays. No 4 to 5 WR sets, rarely see Nelson on the field, no spreads, no ML and FJ together in the backfield, etc, etc.
-
Whats funny is that you discredit him for winning the Super Bowl because he inherited the "already favorite" to win but you didnt give him any credit for his competition in that game. It works both ways. If your saying Dungy should get credit for putting that Super Bowl team together then you have to give Gruden credit for putting the Raiders Super Bowl team together. At that point one can argue that Gruden won because he was the better coach.
He would be 100 times better than what we have now. How many Playoff games does Jauron have on his record? Now ask yourself how many Gruden has. The facts are that Gruden has taken multiple teams to multiple playoff games. He was also the QB coach in Green Bay during the Holmgren years. I would say he did pretty well there too.
The reason I didnt talk about Oakland was because of someones direct comments on his time in TB, which is why I kept it to TB.
Look, honestly, I would take Gruden any day over DJ at this point, if for nothing else, the attitude. But having played football I know how bad it is to have your players not trust you. You could be Lombardi himself, but if your players dont trust you then you wont win, and its been well documented that he was fired because his players didnt trust him in TB. That is what concerns me the most.
Gruden did have a good run in Oakland, but for me, his time in TB was poor during the 6 years after the SB. He had just one really good season in 7 years, and that was the year more than 90% of the team was the team he inherited and he won the SB. In six years he had back to back winning seasons once and only made playoffs twice (both times as a team that posed no threat to make a good run in playoffs).
And, its hard, and I mean pretty hard, for a coach to lose the trust of his team, especially one with a SB ring and a mystique like Gruden. To me, that says far more than a SB ring he won given how he won it...
-
Gruden took them to the playoffs in three separate seasons, and actually WON a Superbowl with them. I'm pretty sure he was a successful coach there.
Really? He made the playoffs and won the SB in his FIRST year there with a team built by someone else...after that, he missed the playoffs, dismantled the team and managed just TWO playoff appearances in 6 years after, none of which his team was even a threat to go far.
He destroyed a perennial SB contending team after winning the SB in his first year there, the very year TB was already the favorite to win it anyway which led to him having a losing season the very next year after the SB win. A point carefully ignored is that he had a HUGE advantage in that SB win as he knew the offense inside and out and they didnt change it. His players have already acknowledged this saying they exactly what Oakland was doing throughout the whole game.
He had only ONE back to back winning seasons, and that was his last 2 years there where he was 9-7...and then last year he missed the playoffs despite leading the division with 4 weeks left by losing all 4 games in a row, including the last game of the season to the lowly Raiders where a win gets him in the playoffs...
Yeah, he was really great in TB.
Not to mention, he jettisoned his best players, the players didnt trust him (which is why he was fired), he mismanages QB's more than we do, cant develop a QB, and has a horrendous draft record with Mr. Allen...
lmao

The most I can hope for is that below average Fitz can sling the ball down the field and show the potential of what our offense COULD look like if we had a QB that threw past 5 yards on every play.....
We do not have our starting QB on the roster.....
Precisely my point...if Fitz does enough to show what we could do with a real QB, would Ralph then say, lets get a QB before we get a coach? Would he rationalize that DJ was undone because of the inept play at QB and Ralph decide to use that as an excuse to keep him given his contract status and just pursue a QB?
Thats my original question...and thats what I mean when I said could Fitz actually save DJ's job. It was never speculated Fitz would morph into our QB of the future (although its possible, I mean he barely has the experience of a 2nd year QB, so who knows what he can do yet) and get us to the playoffs, thats where others took it as they didnt even read the OP probably and reacted to just the title...

“I don’t think we doubled him once,” the Jets player said. “Buffalo will make you hit a wall [in your career]. People thought Randy Moss hit a wall, too, didn’t they? How motivated is [Owens] to play in Buffalo? How excited is he about the offense? They just canned the no-huddle [stuff] because it wasn’t working. They’re not finding creative ways to get him the football, either.”
Asked if he thought Owens could still be a great player in the league, the Jets player replied, “I don’t know. But definitely not on that offense.”
Whats wrong with this? Its dead on accurate. If TO was on a team with a QB and a real offense, he would be a top 15 WR easily. Same for Lee Evans...heck, I bet if Evans was in Balt, Philly, etc where they need a WR he would be top 10 in production right now.
-
Where to start.
Lee Evans--- 6 games 227 receiving yds 2 TD's. Averaging a whopping 37.8 yards per game. Projected 2009 season stats 604 yds and 5.23 touchdowns.
Owens---6 games 215 receiving yds and 1 TD. Averaging a blistering 35.8 yards per game. Projected 2009 season stats 573 yards 2.65 touchdowns
How many millions are we paying for the production???
Bills QBs---1017 passing yards and 7 TDs. Averaging 169.5 yards per game. Projected 2009 season stats 2712 yards
18.5 TD
Our runningbacks are on pace for ZERO TDs, yes Jackson and Lynch do not have a rushing TD, in fact no Buffalo PLAYER has scored a rushing TD in SIX GAMES. Our entire rushing offense, including everyone on the team, is on pace for a total of 1947 yards and a mind boggling ZERO TDs.
Put the rushing and receiving together and our TEAM is on pace for 18.5 TD's in the 2009 season
It would be sad if it wasnt so funny.
Evans and TO's production is a direct result of an inept QB who wont throw to them and an inept OC who doesnt know how to adjust a game plan as a result of that to get them involved. So, yes we are paying them a lot, they are worth what we those WR's, but it does us no good unless you get a QB who isnt afraid to throw to them or doesnt give up on the play at the first sign of a rush.
-
He wasn't hurt until well into game 3. Went 7-9 the year before with losses to such powerhouses as the Browns, KC, SF49s and, oh yeah, the Bills.
The point is not that CP is not a great QB. The point is simply that the team was not much good.
At least RFs 13 points were good enough to win a game for a change.
Yup, but a little more on Palmer and this so called high power offense the Bengals allegedly had that Fitz worked with...
Palmer played deep into the fourth game, almost the entire game and had almost 40 passes attempts that fourth game.
He had 3 TD's, 4 INT's, and was sacked 11 times in essentially four games...that Bengals team was bad even with a proven guy like Palmer at the helm.
CJ even admitted he dogged it and "checked out" the whole season.
Add in no running game until the final 3 games (Which Fitz won) and you cant possibly be able to evaluate Fitz off that...
-
And it's been all downhill from there.
Do you know anything about Fitz? Seriously...
He has the equivalent on field experience of a QB barely in his second year...Werent you one of the guys saying Trent has struggled because he only had 2 years experience? Now Fitz has had less than that on teams much worse than ours...
-
Allen + Gruden + Tebow = Success.
LMAO
Allen + Gruden didnt equal success in TB and Gruden doesnt like young QB's...
Allen + Gruden ran TB into the ground...only once did they have back to back winning seasons, both of which were 9-7 and only once in those 2 seasons they made the playoffs.
Their draft history there has been poor...
-
I disagree. Despite his struggles this year, Delhomme is much better than any QB we have had since Bledsoe (who was released because of whiny fans). Carolina is better along the offensive and defensive line than we are, and half our defense is hurt. KC is much better than you think- I have seen them a couple times this year and although I thought Cassel was going to suck away from New England, I have to admit, I was wrong- he's the best thing they have on their improving team. I don't think we sweep NY and we will lose to Miami again.
Until we get the franchise in order, it doesn't matter if we have Jauron or bring Hank Bullough back.
Again though, I did not say we will "win" those games or that they are "easy" games. I said they are "winnable", thats a big difference.
So let me get this straight...we should have beat NE and blew it and with a QB that wasnt afraid to throw and could see his WR's we could have beat NO (two of the best teams in football), plus we just beat the Jets...but you dont think we can beat KC, Car, Mia, Tenn, Jax, or the Jets (again)?
Dont you think thats a little unreasonable? Again, no one is saying we "will" win those games, but these games are winnable, especially if Fitz can pump some life into the passing game and utilize TO and Evans...
Atl and NE I think can be penciled in as losses for us. NE seems to have its Rhythm again and ATL is solid...Indy I think plays their backups, so we should win that game. Hou will also be tough too...

When people like Pdaddy and others say Edwards didn't regress you haven't been watching the first 6 games of the year in 2008. He was averaging around 240 yards, a rating over 92, and he made some plays down the field, sometimes at key points (Jax game, Raiders game) when we were behind. He was playing good enough that people in the league looked at him as a potential MVP candidate as crazy as that sounds right now.
If that's not regression and he showed nothing this conversation would be over.
My biggest disappointment has been the destruction of a young QB in Edwards, the regression of ST, and how Dick is still the coach.
You do realize he wasnt that good in our first 6 games last year right? He was most unproductive in almost all the games but two. Key plays in 3 of them by our defense, ST, and Lynch bailed him out. Not saying he didnt make some good plays at the end of some of these games, but his game as a whole was not very good in 3 of them and others bailed us to put us in position to steal a win.
Sea - Good game
Oak, Jax, St. Louis - He was bad in 3 quarters of these games. Sure he made a couple key throws late, but honestly, we were in these games becuase other players got us there. Without the defensive TD late, the ST TD late, Marshawns two miraculous runs to extend the game winning drive on TWO Trent checkdowns one on 3rd and ten and the other on 4th and long, or Kawikas INT, we lose at least 2 of these games and probably all 3. We barely beat these 3 teams who were 3 of the worst in football.
AZ - hurt
SD - Good game
So, of the first 6 games, he played in 5 and he was good in only 2. And all of these teams were literally amongst the worst in defense last year and all were amongst the worst teams in football (AZ doesnt count as he didnt really play) with the exception of SD who turned it on AFTER our game but still had one of the worst pass D's in the league.
-
That doesn't make sense.
Ryan Fitz:
5.3 Yard per Attempt
57.7% Completion percentage
51.4 QB Rating
Trent Edwards:
6.7 Yard per Attempt
61.2% Completion percentage
78.0 QB Rating
I dont understand how you can say that Fitz has a huge arm, the guy is averaging a full yard less per attempt (and that is with starting all last year with Ochocinco and TJ Housh on his team). Trent was airing it out all year at the beginning of last year until they started rolling a guy over the top on Lee, and then we had no second WR.
Rule #1: YPA has NOTHING, and I mean literally NOTHING to do with arm strength...LMAO at that comparison...
Cincy had the worst O line in footbally last year and a first year starter in Fitz with his top WR admittedly "checked out" and "dogging" it all year with NO running game of any kind until the final few games (games Fitz won mind you). Thats why his YPA was low.
Completion % and QB rating....once again, NOTHING to do with arm strength.
Funny thing is, Fitz showcased that arm strenght on the laser he hit on Evans for a TD and the incredible long throw to Evans on the 2 that was over turned (and it wasnt over turned because of the throw)...
-
I doubt most people would agree with this. i'm sure there are plenty of folks in here that might think that but I'm not thinking this is all TE's fault. Has DJ ever had a decent offense while he was a head coach? IMHO, he wants a conservative offense that plays not to lose. Given a different coach and different coaching philosophy I think TE could be a quality starter in this league. Probably not a pro bowler but a decent starter...
Has DJ ever had a decent QB while HC?
-
because fitzpatrick doesn't have anything else going for him - IE accuracy and reading defenses. he's not good. he practiced and played a LOT last year with 2 recievers far far better than Owens and Evans - and he still had a pretty bad season stat wise. trent's weaknesses are mainly mental, which says a lot. he's never been the same since that concussion last year and this one isn't going to help either. I mean, he rarely ran his first 1 1/2 seasons here... now he scrambles like a mad man. its like he is cloning into losman without the cannon and inabilty to get the ball out of his hands...
Hold on a second...he came in mid season last year with NO reps with the starting offense, so how do you say he played a lot with them? It was only his second year on the team as a backup to Palmer, he had literally hardly any time with the first unit. Not to mention, it was his first action ever as a full time starter really. He has the starting experience of a QB in his 2nd year...
More stuff people just pull out their azz as if it were true...serioulsy, the whole thing about Cincy last year is so lame because people act like he started the season as a starter and had all offseason to prepare.
Oh, and Palmer, with the same team and weapons was 0-4 with 2 games under 150yds (1 of which under 100yds) with just 3 TD's and 4 INT's, 2 fumbles and 11 sacks over the 4 games...with Chad Johnson admitedly checked out last year, a terrible O line, no running game, and no TE production, even Palmer struggled...Our offense easily has more talent on it than Cincy had last year...
PS: Cincy avg 3.6 yards per carry and gave up 49 sacks...so even the O line was worse...
-
Here is Fitzpatrick in a nutshell (as pasted from Rotoworld):
With Trent Edwards battling a concussion, Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to be the Bills' starting quarterback in Week 7 against the Panthers.
It hurts the entire offense. Fitzpatrick "led" a Week 6 win over the stumbling Jets, but was mostly ineffective (10-of-24 for 116 yards) and has one of the league's weakest arms. Carolina, usually susceptible to the run, will easily be able to stack the box against Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson. Vertical wideouts Lee Evans and Terrell Owens should also be downgraded
Leagues weakest arm? That throw to Evans that got over turned was not one by a guy with a weak arm based on the trajectory and speed of the ball...
-
It is definitely a scary thought, but it's not gonna happen. Keep in mind, Fitz was actually struggling throughout the Jets game aside from that slant pass to Lee Evans for 6. He also struggled big time in the preseason to make his throws. This offense is not capable of putting up a ton of points and the run defense is absolutely garbage. This weekend against Carolina is gonna be a real eye opener for the few people that don't realize how bad this bills run defense is. D'Angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart are ridiculously good and both are coming off 100yrd performances this past week.
Bottom Line: Another season without a playoff appearance means goodnight (hopefully) to Dick Jauron
Believe me, I have little faith in Fitz...I am not claiming him to be good, he could be as we really dont know yet as he has essentially the playing experience of a 2nd year player, but I dont expect a whole lot from him. But, we have enough weapons on this team that he doesnt have to carry the team, just get them the ball and let them make plays. If he can do that, we can win some games with this soft schedule ahead with really only 3 tough games left in Hou, Atl, and NE. The Indy game I think we face all their backups in week 17 as they seem to be on their way to wrapping up their seeding in the weeks prior to that.
-
Are you freaking joking me?
You tried to claim it was a foregone conclusion that it was Trent that was holding this offense back.
And now you're telling me nobody is saying that?
Bunk.
I didnt say it was the only thing, but the QB position is the biggest thing rather you want to admit that or not...teams all over the league are suffering from O lines just like ours yet are in the top 10 in passing...why, their QB can handle it...
I'd be interested to see you ever find me making claims "to be so knowledgable on football". This is an hysterically funny accusation from a kid who's repeatedly told people he knows more than them because he played the game.
Um, Simon, no offense but you have made that claim more than once, including to me, in the past for the very same reason of having played the game...
And I'm not sure what you mean by a DISTINCT positive influence. Do you mean how the offense was scoring 3 pts in the 1 quarter that Trent played and then EXPLODED for a RIPROARING 13 pts over the next 57+ minutes once we had got rid of the player "that was holding this offense back"?Or did you mean DISTINCT positive influence like throwing a horrid pick at midfield in OT that was by far the worst ball thrown by any Bills QB this year.
Pardon me while I catch my breath
Did I say it was uproariously better? NO, I said a distinct POSTIVE INFLUENCE as in the ability to involve our WR's and score the first offensive TD (passing mind you) in two games. In fact, Fitz, in less than 2 quarters equaled Trents TD production over 12 quarters of play...and we would have had likely 2 offensive TD's if that pass to Evans wasnt over turned as we would have had first and goal on the two I belive...and the reason it was over turned had nothing to do with throw. Not to mention, Fitz did this on a team he is new to with no opportunity to have worked at all really with the first team in the offseason, preseason, or during the season...
LMAO off at your points per game sarcasm...you do realize in 5 games the Bills had 8 TD's but TWO of those came from Schobel on an INT and Moorman on a ST Fake...love how you credit that to production to Trent though...LMAO
Not to mention, the offense has only ONE TD since the TB game before Fitz hit Evans for one on a throw Trent doesnt seem to be capable of making as he never does it...
Yes we looked like a HS offense with Trent "at command" averaging only 15 pts/game prior to the game vs the JEST. Fortunately the QB change got rid of the guy "that was holding the offense back" <giggle> and once we were rid of him we managed to increase our output to just over 13 pts/game<guffaw>. A truly significant, no, DISTINCT improvement! <melts helplessly into laughter>And have you considered the possibility that the OLine may have looked a little better because we were playing the team that was last in the NFL in sacks? But why mention that when you have an agenda to pursue?
Nobody can tell squat about Edwards (or Fitzpatrick (or for that matter Hamdan when this OLine ultimately gets Fitzpatrick hurt)) in this clown college offense. And anybody that claims differently is talking out their ass.
What agenda? That Trent sucks? Then the whole board must be on that agenda as about 90% of the people on this board seem to think he isnt any good now...
-
I can understand Johnson, but Lankster? Yes he looked very good in the preseason, but with Corner, Florence & Youboty ahead of him, that's just too much talent you can't ignore.
I wasnt referring to him in the defensive backfield, but why not ST's? He was a star on ST in college, and I thought he showed enough as a DB in the preseason and camp to at least be on the active roster, even if only as a ST player.
-
As disappointing as this season has been (see the biggest disappointment thread), what are some of the pleasant surprises this season?
I've been pleasantly surprised by the play of Fred Jackson and the emergence of Jairus Byrd
I cant say Byrd as I said all along I thought he was going to be good, so it doesnt surprise me as I really liked that pick.
Same with Fred...I expected him to be very productive, although I didnt expect it in NE, so that was a pleasant surprise.
For me, I think the biggest (pleasant) surpirse is the grit of the D even with all the injuries and having to be on the field for so long with the offense failing to sustaing a lot of drives, especially with all the penalties and ST screw ups. They have managed to keep the Pats and Saints contained most of the game. Our offense and ST's just gave those two teams too many chances to beat us and they did. They were also great against Cle and the Jets...
So despite how much they have to be on the field and how thin we are (especially at LB), their ability to keep us in games has surprised me.
-
It seems pretty unrealistic to think the Bills can seriously go 6-4 or 7-3 the rest of the way regardless of which of the football-limited QBs is on the field. The Patriots, Falcons, and Colts close out the year. That means the Bills would have to go on a tear through Carolina, Houston, Tenn, Jax, Miami, Jets, and KC and there is 4.5 road games in there. The win over the Jets was nice, but it was hardly convincing. It was more of an attempted screw-up that backfired into something positive. Jauron's play-not-to-lose philosophy means we'll lose at least as many games as we win at the end of games and only in those games where we can keep it semi-interesting. (Losing by small margins really shouldn't convince anyone that this team is close to greatness.) Jauron's elevator only goes up to "7" at best; and, his 8.5 year record prove he can't get it done. Still, it could be even worse. Getting rid of Jauron to replace him with a Hank Bullough wouldn't improve anything.
I get what you are saying, but Car, Tenn, Jax, Miami, Jets, and KC are all winnable games for us. Hou is tougher, but also winnable. Atl and Pats should definitley be losses for us, but the others are all very winnable.
The Colts are likely going to be playing their backups 75% of the game, we should realisticly win that game if they do...if for some reason the Colts have reason to play their starters, then yes, we will lose that game. But I am pretty sure Indy will have their spot locked up...

Reporter asking Terrell Owens on the decline in his play/production and if he has been played any different this year than in the past, with double teams and rolling coverage to him...
Reporter: Is that different this year, in the way you're being defensed and maybe the frequency that you're seeing those kinds of coverages than before?
Terrell Owens: No, it's ah, again, I've faced a number of coverages throughout my career. You know obviously, with those coverages, you know the coordinators have been able to kind of move me around in the offense, create plays and do things with formations and shifts and things of that nature. And with this offense, it's not like that. So you know, so I understand that. And you just have to go with the plays that are called. And again, you know I put the amount of plays that come my way and I'm not making I have to put that on my shoulders because you know I have to make those plays.
Amazing how, by design, they can not play to their strengths.
Let me tell you what I like about this:
1. It really is a clear indicator of one of the many things wrong with this offense - its predictability and lack of ability to adapt...
2. TO owning up to the fact he has had dropped the ball so to speak on plays a guy of his caliber has to make. He didnt throw anyone under the bus, he just flat out said he has to put that on his shoulders.
Trent's problem
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Funny little stat about Trent...he was the worst rated QB in the NFL last year during the first halves of games. I dont mean the first half of the season, I mean literally the first 2 quarters of each game, and his rating was very low.
To me that tells me something about his ability to see the field. He gets out there and doesnt know what he is looking at and cant get comfortable. His only success came in second halves of games when the coaches can get to him and show him how to beat the defenses, and even that didnt help much once teams had Trent figured out.
