Tasmo Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Just can't see Edwards starting. First, because he is not credible. Edwards is part of the culture of the past. Futile decision making in terms of risk/reward and timing. A relevant option as a back up perhaps but Fitzpatrick and Brohm are also worth speculating on for those backup spots. A true Starter is warranted NOW. Whether or not he starts immediately is another story. The criticism of Edwards is legit and not misplaced. Unless Nix thinks the first step in correcting problems is accepting the fact that some improvements may come by managing the failures of the past while new talent matures he may be pressed to stand pat or look to free agency. Can anyone say Mike Vick???? The aftermath of this past decade will not evaporate. It will take years to build a dominant "decade team". Pressing with a rookie quarterback and unproven O-line could be devastating to the rookies' development. We have been patient and revenge will come on those teams that have a sense of security in the top tiers of the league. We can't set our wrist watches for this next season being a contender year, but I don't see Thurman and Kelly or any proven head coach putting their pride and reputations on the line by backing Nix as just another stunt of the money making machine.
Flbillsfan#1 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Edwards is the best QB on the roster at the moment if a new coach can coach him up. That said, if he does start, I have $10 that says he doesn't start ALL 16 games.
Fezmid Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I have $10 that says he doesn't start ALL 16 games. That could be said for most NFL quarterbacks.
Flbillsfan#1 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 That could be said for most NFL quarterbacks. MOST? I don't think so.
DELLAPELLE JOHN Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 dude, ryan fitzpatrick beat out TE.... RYAN FITZPATRICK!!!!!!!!! R U KIDDING ME........ the bills will draft a franchise qb in the draft..
Flbillsfan#1 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 dude, ryan fitzpatrick beat out TE.... RYAN FITZPATRICK!!!!!!!!! R U KIDDING ME........ the bills will draft a franchise qb in the draft.. I hope so, but they may not start him on opening day, especially if it is someone like Pike that needs developing.
DELLAPELLE JOHN Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I hope so, but they may not start him on opening day, especially if it is someone like Pike that needs developing. i am not opposed to bringing in a veteran for 2 years and then drafting a qb later. bottom line buffalo will be drafting a top qb next yr in rd 1 or 2
Pozitive51 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I also think Edwards has a good chance of starting. I new GM & Coach will look at adding a few key pieces that will have an immediate impact and think they can develop Although, I agree with other posters that have stated that he hasnt been the same since the Arizona concussion and might be permanently damaged goods. Right or wrong most NFL execs think there were too many problems working against Edwards this past year to hold this debacle against him and give up on a once promising career.
RalphW Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 dude, ryan fitzpatrick beat out TE.... RYAN FITZPATRICK!!!!!!!!! R U KIDDING ME........ the bills will draft a franchise qb in the draft.. We are done with Trent. He was Jauron and Levy's guy. New gm new coaching staff = new qb. Not to mention the fan revolt that would ignite. I like the thought of Jimmy Claussen...cold weather qb. Bring in CW as the OC. Trade back up to 1st rnd and grab a LT DT or LB, whichever they determine is the most pressing need. See Buddy this is easy!!!!!

ko12010 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Claussen may not be on the board when the Bills pick. Not always so easy. If not for Pitt, Big Ben would be a Bill. And if he had been a Bill, his career might be over at this point, knowing our reputation for destroying QB's.
RalphW Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Claussen may not be on the board when the Bills pick. Not always so easy. If not for Pitt, Big Ben would be a Bill. I am hoping the Rams select Bradford and the Skins grind it out with Campbell another season. Pipe dream......I know. I just don't like the idea of Bradford.....didn't play in cold weather in college. Lets not make the same mistake...again.
Fezmid Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 MOST? I don't think so. How many QBs will have started all 16 games this season? Not a ton. Tony Romo, Eli Manning, Jason Campbell, Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Kyle Orton, Phillip Rivers, Joe Flacco, Carson Palmer, Matt Schaub, David Gerrard, and possibly Peyton Manning, unless they bench him this week (which is a very real possibility). So only 14 (maybe 15) out of 32 teams had a QB start all 16 games. Therefore MOST teams do not have a QB that starts every game.
DarthICE Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 belinda No way in hell he starts. Nix has seen the mess we have at QB and said last night we need a really strong armed QB for the weather in Buffalo.
nucci Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 dude, ryan fitzpatrick beat out TE.... RYAN FITZPATRICK!!!!!!!!! R U KIDDING ME........ the bills will draft a franchise qb in the draft.. not sure he beat him out, just Edwards was benched. Except for 1-2 plays, Fitzpatrick has not really played any better than Edwards. They both have played poorly.
nucci Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 No way in hell he starts. Nix has seen the mess we have at QB and said last night we need a really strong armed QB for the weather in Buffalo. How many games have been affected by the weather this year? You need a QB with a strong arm no matter where you play.
