ALLEN1QB Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 We have a way of doing that to a player. Edwards and Losman would have been HOF QB's lol
sarmanuscg07 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 ESPN's Adam Schefter just reported Trent Edwards is likely to be cut, what was Bill Walsh thinking? He never looked to be prototypical, he never had that gun slingers mentality all of the great ones have. Other surprise cuts he predicted included Steve Slayton and Golden Tate.
Heels20X6 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Somewhere...Dog14787 lets out a scream in anguish....
Peter Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I wonder how his career would have gone if he had never had that concussion against the Cardinals.
reddogblitz Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I was thinking Trent might be able to hang around on the Oakland roster until week 5 when Pryor becomes active.
Phlegm Alley Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Golden Tate. Interesting. He was a stud when he left ND. I thought he would do well in the NFL. Trent on the other hand, might have a tough time making an NFL roster. He might end up like Brohm and Losman playing in the UFL.
bigdogtim Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Golden Tate hasn't been a stud since he got busted for B&E in that bagel/donut shop in his apartment building. Silly receiver, donuts are for cops.
berndogg Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I wonder how his career would have gone if he had never had that concussion against the Cardinals. [/quote I can't believe I'm getting into this again, but Trent sucked way before that game. Check his stats, he wasn't exactly lighting it up for 300+ yds/3 td games before then. The Bills wins in their 5-1 start that year were all against teams that ended up 8-8 or worse. And they won those games despite Edwards' play, not because of it (once again, check the stats). Obviously it's impossible to know, but I think Edwards' career would've been exactly the same without the concussion.
bills1960 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Bring him back! I heard he's a big Bills fan.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I think that hit ruined him. Compare Edwards before and after that AZ game hit. Night and day. Sad. PTR
The Big Cat Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Is this really a career ending hit? I know when it comes to matters of the brain (pun intended) that you...just...never...know. BUT...have we seen quarterbacks bounce back from worse? Uh...yeah.
bills1960 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 My god that guy had promise up until that hit. Frustrating to be honest.
BoBills20 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Is this really a career ending hit? I know when it comes to matters of the brain (pun intended) that you...just...never...know. BUT...have we seen quarterbacks bounce back from worse? Uh...yeah. youtube.com/watch?v=yjpANEVexhY That would be 15 yards in todays game.. It wasn't how hard he was hit, it was his heads contact on his pile-driven route to the ground that did it.
RealityCheck Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Trent Edwards always s***ed. That concussion changed nothing. I remember all the JP vs Trent garbage and low and behold, neither qb is worth anything after all. It's just like politics.
shoretalk Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 That would be 15 yards in todays game.. It wasn't how hard he was hit, it was his heads contact on his pile-driven route to the ground that did it. His potential was there before the hit ... statistics don't rule the day it's really about wins and losses so the argument that he wasn't lighting up the skies should be secondary to the victories he led the team too. The guy was young but leading the team and then he crashed to earth. Sadly after that game he became fearful apparently of being on the field ... Once again, we tend to personalize players who fail. There's no doubt that he wanted to succeed but he no longer has what it takes. Wish him well ... it's time to move forward! GO BILLS!
reddogblitz Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 BUT...have we seen quarterbacks bounce back from worse? Uh...yeah. As a matter of fact, we saw Trent do it. 2 weeks after "the hit", Trent's line vs San Diego: 25/30, 261 YDS, 1 TD I don't buy the Trent was ruined by "the hit" theory. I know it's popular around here but I'm just not buying it.

It wasn't how hard he was hit, it was his heads contact on his pile-driven route to the ground that did it. I think it was a 15 yarder...anyone?

I know it's popular around here but I'm just not buying it. This was my point exactly. I'm also not a believer. Especially after seeing the hit again and knowing that Big Ben suffers about two or three of those a season because he hangs waiting for the long one.
Peter Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 On a related note: Savard unlikely to play again Is this really a career ending hit?
