Enh. Rogers may look better than Edwards, but the guy looks like the second coming of Rob Johnson to me. A California with good stats, not that many victories, way too many sacks, and some brittleness.
Really Dave? I am a lil surprised by your post...especially since GB's record last season was not becuase of poor play by Rodgers, but more on the defense and lack of running game. Way too many sacks thing is because they had a 3rd string Tackle going against the best pass rusher in football. How you can compare Rodgers to Rob is shocking, I mean Rob isnt even a quality backup with poor field vision, not QB IQ, and fumbles because the wind blows. Rodgers is one of the brightest young QB's in the game and a class act to boot. I bet if GB traded him they could easily get at min 2 first round picks right now...
Craziest part is he is doing all this behind a terrible O Line

Honestly, if we had a real QB I think this season would be going much better, so DJ is in a lose lose situation. Trent is killing DJ's career, not the other way around IMO. That being said, I think the start has also caused him to lose his team and a change needs to be made now. A lot of players just seem like they dont care at times. Trent needs to be benched to send a message to this team, but DJ just doesnt seem to have the balls to do it unless he does it today.
So, we definitely need a change, someone willing to come in and rock the ship like pulling Trent from the starting lineup.

Stanford QB Trent Edwards "Highlights" #3
Seems to me, this is the EXACT same player that played for Stanford. Checkdowns instead of hitting WRs, no pocket awareness/movement, isn't used to winning/wanting the ball in his hands with the game on the line. In high school he had unreal numbers. Stanford may have ruined his development. He is what he is now and it's time to move on...
I see you took my info on Trent at Stanford I told you about during the game and ran with it...nice..
Here is the funniest part, I have posted these very stats several times, but I always got flamed by the Trent apologists and most ignored them. I have been saying since last year, Trent was not a play maker in college and then people would come back with how much Bill Walsh thought of him. Well Bill Walsh also was so high JJ Stokes (calling him the next Jerry Rice) that he traded up to draft him...he was a bust. Point is, just becuase he liked him doesnt mean he was right. Great as Walsh was, he was still wrong plenty of times.
But when I showed those stats people said I hated Trent. The reason I showed those stats was to show that Trent was still living on his HIGH SCHOOL hype coming into the draft. The quality of the Stanford team was used as an excuse to validate his marginal play while there and it was assumed he still had all this potential based on what he displyaed PRE Stanford.
I will say it again, he never lived up to his potential at Stanford nor the NFL. One last point you left out too...in his last year at Stanford they LOST every single game EXCEPT for the ONE game Trent did NOT play in...hmmmmm
-
bull **** - watch Big Ben. Edwards can't go through a progression. He can't sense pass rush. He can't throw down the middle of the field. He's a 2nd rate QB, period.
-
You know, Edwards is looking bad right now, and he may in fact be bad. But in the midst of your crusade against him this past year, you mentioned numerous times that you "wanted him to succeed" and "hoped to be wrong." Now it's pretty clear that you're glad that you were right, and have basically degenerated into unseemly gloating. It's almost to to the point where I'd guess that if Edwards in fact died, you'd hold a dance party on his grave. Seriously, you're embarassing yourself right now with the "I told you so" stuff and the complete lack of self-awareness that you're playing to type. Yes, he doesn't appear to be good, but give it a rest. Move on; I'm sure the Bills will themselves move on and get another QB in the near future.
Funny, I am wearing Trents jersey at this very moment and wore all day at the bar while getting bagged on by lame ass drunk Dolphin and Jets fans...
This isnt about gloating about Trent, this is about this dude dog14787 making all these lame claims to Trents greatness, flip flopping, calling me stupid for being honest about Trents short comings and areas of improvements, etc etc...
If you honestly think I want Trent to fail so I can be right on a message board, even though I desperately want the Bills to win, then you are too dumb to even converse with...
-
Whats the deal with the flip flop with you, are you really that dense. Perceptions can change from week to week or is that beyond your comprehension.
Wasting everyone's time pointing out I'm finally getting fed up with our QB's play is Stupid on your part don't you think.
Are you just that stupid?
literally just a few replies above that statement you were defending trent and making up phantom concussions to create new excuses for him...then when everyone jumped on your crap you jumped ship a few replies later...
Not to mention, you do this on all kinds of topics where you say one thing in one thread and something completely different in another literally the same day...
-
At least TE has an excuse for being brain dead, whats yours.
Wait, his excuse is a made up second concussion by you last season?
And two, I love how you say I am brain dead and know nothing about football yet I was 100% spot on with my evaluation of Trent and it kills you now that everyone else see the same things in him I have been talking about since last year.
Your response was to turn on him and call for a bench of Captain Checkdown (as you called him) 2 posts below where you were arguing he struggled becuase of a second concussion....
Dude, you are priceless...
-
Captain Checkdown needs to be sat down and bring on Fitz.
????????? You just went through all this effort to create a phantom concussion to make yet another excuse for your beloved Trent, and then just below it you write this?
Man, this is too much...lmao...you really are the king of flip flop
-
Trent is SUPPOSED to be SMARTER than Kelly & MOST other QB's in the league. It would be EXTREMELY STUPID to hide a concussion. That could affect a person for the rest of his life.
Hahaha, nice call...read my sig and you will see one his many quotes on how much smarter Trent is then Kelly...
-
I believe Trent Edwards suffered a second concussion last season , but that's pure speculation on my part because TE shook it off and continued playing.
TE shows zero signs of it so far this season and for someone afraid to get hit, TE sure seems to be getting clocked enough.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wow, I knew the excuses were going to get thick up in here, but that is priceless!
-
Lets not forget the most important injury, the concussion Trent Edwards suffered that clearly effected his play in the second half of the season. I think its fair to say injuries played a big role in another 7-9 season in my opinion.
Of course its easier to just blame Captain Checkdown for poor play.
Hmmm...his first game back against SD was one of his good games last season, so funny how that concucssion thing comes and goes huh? LMAO at the concussion theory...
If you have never had a concussion then you probably shouldnt talk about it. I got one my junior year in college lighting up a TE over the middle and I missed one game and there were no lingering effects. Trent also said he had no lingering effects, but I realize its the only excuse left you can hang your hat on so I see why you last few still use it...
Make no mistake, the concussion itself had nothing to do with his play, maybe his fear of another did, but as far as his head goes, he was fine.
-
what game did you watch? we ran for like 46 yards and the dolphins were in the backfield all day. fire brandon and dick, trent has no O-line. when he did (NE and TB) he was fine
He was fine? He did exactly the same thing in the NE and TB games...which is he DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO THROW DOWNFIELD AND INVOLVE THE WR"S CONSISTENTLY...how is this still confusing to anyone?
-
The only thing Trent has pwned is the blooper real...
-
Henne just threw a pass to a WR.
-
It bothers me that Henne and Edwards look about the same
yup, thats sad
-
The offense is getting too predictable.
Getting?
-
That's what happens when you can't trust your QB to beat a blitz on 3rd down.
DING DING DING
-
I'm trying to give him a chance and I officially can't anymore.
Plenty of time and he can't lead his receiver. Throw to a spot, not the guy.
Your paid millions to play. Take the hit if you have to to get it out. Stand in the
pocket, and relax. Every short pass just gives the D the excuse to play close to the
line of scrimmage and makes it worse on you.
Been saying this since last year and I got flamed by many each time...
-
And so it begins...
-
geezus trent...how off can you be today
-
I've become pretty critical of Edwards myself, but I do think that people should more clearly acknowledge the fact that the Bills offensive line at the tackle positions is pretty freaking bad. It'll affect any QB's play. Deciding that they could make do without Peters was not wise. The guys playing tackle tomorrow wouldn't make half the rosters in the NFL.
No one is saying the O Line has been stellar, but its not as bad as some would make you believe. The biggest issue is the penalties with them. The problem is this...last year and this year, when Trent has had plenty of time to throw he still cant do anything with the ball. If it were a case where he was picking people off left and right when he actually had time to throw, and then stunk when he didnt, then the O Line would be a much more valid explanation. However, thats just not the case as he can have an enternity back there and he still dumps the pass off and fails to see anyone open downfield.
So, not disputing that the O Line is not important, but its not the main reason for Trents lack of attempts to our WR's. And you dont need a ton of time to throw to a WR unless you are going deep. In fact, it takes less time to throw to a WR then a TE or RB on most plays, especially in our offense.
TE and RB's a lot of times stay in to block or fake the block before breaking out into their routes, especially RB's. WR's immediately break into their routes on the snap of a ball. This means that the WR will be in a spot for Trent to fire a pass before the RB and TE in most cases. The difference is the TE and RB will frequently be within 5 to 7 yards of the LOS making for an easy dumpoff it Trent still has the ball (which he often does as he holds onto the ball too long)
Given all this, Trent still only passes to TE's and RB's...so the lack of "time" is a convenient excuse, but it just doesnt translates as a valid excuse for not throwing to Lee and T.O.
-
Or they have, and Edwards still ain't throwing them. Either way, it's still annoying. Having Evans and TO is like owning a Porsche and Ferrari,except with the Bills offense, it's like never driving above the speed limit. A complete waste of resources.
More like never taking them out of the garage unless you are going no further than 1 block to the neighborhood store

What do you think we could get for Lynch now?
A first rounder next year?
Would you trade him for a first next year, then combine those picks if needed to get the best QB in the draft.
Or keep him and wait for strike three and another trip to the Comissioners office.
RB is the easiest positoin to fill in the NFL...
So if we could get a first rounder, then we would be the dumbest organization in football if we said no.
But, for the very reason I stated above, NO ONE will give us a first round pick for Lynch, guaranteed, especially one with a troubled history like his who has a well known tendency to dance too much behind the line.
Realistic value: Third round or traded for players or some kind of combo.
Case in point, Indy and Sea both put Edge and Alexander on the market at the same time, neither could even get a second round pick for them and they amongst the 5 best RB's in football at the time still in their primes.
-
So Chad Henne will be starting for the Dolphins Sunday. Any guesses how limp Dick will play this game? Run the prevent? Try not to lose by more than 17 points? Will he take the Bills for ice cream sundaes after?
PTR
Our D is not the problem...our offense is.
If our D has to spend all day on the field, then maybe. So Trent better find his balls and fast and keep the chains moving for once, and AVP better learn how to adjust the offense...or it could be another long day for the D
Aaron Rodgers vs Trent Edwards
