Even if Edwards is completely horrible, doesn't put up any points whatsoever, can't throw the ball very far and has no concept of what the word "blitz" means he will still probably be better than he was last year.
This will mean he has made progress and progress is what we should be looking for. His horrific play last year was actually awesome when you consider he was a third round rookie. This year he will be a third round second year player so th fact that he completely sucks will hurt a little more than it did in 07, but still not really bad. When he trots out with gloves on October 1st, I think you will see a few of the non-fashion aware fans go a little crazy.
