The Helmet of Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Just going to say it... I hope for the best for this guy. He seemed creepy, spazlike, and a little bit of a dork but he was hard to dislike. i thought he was easy to dislike, especially when he was on the field -- i absolutely hated him then. also, i never thought he owned up to his poor play during post-game interviews. always with the "we," never with the "I." he sounded exactly like his coach in interviews, totally unable to figure out why they didn't execute -- gee golly it's hard to win and we have to do a better job executing -- get back and watch the film. post concussion, he was a scared kitten in the pocket -- afraid to throw downfield unless it was a simple first-option post, afraid to throw over the middle, afraid to stand in the pocket. we didn't call him Trentative for nothing... he made fitz look like a savior in comparison -- don't forget that. when fitz started throwing over the middle, he tricked all of us into thinking we had a good offense. that should give us some perspective on just how bad the QB before him was...

Dragonborn10 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Well unless he finds another job there will be one less NFL player able to come out of the closet while still being in the NFL....
Nitro Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Trent was never right after he took that shot to the head (was it against KC?) Too bad, he looked like a mid-round steal there for a little while. Arizona Cardinals game...blitz by their safety...I think it was Wilson. I agree that he was never the same afterwards.
Drewgetz Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 All I know is that there are redfaces in Chenango Forks! Good memory. or your a stalker and I should put up my cape and retire to private life where nobody remembers me. I wonder if Trent needs a roommate...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 16, 2013 Author Posted April 16, 2013 Good memory. or your a stalker and I should put up my cape and retire to private life where nobody remembers me. I wonder if Trent needs a roommate... :lol: :lol: The name of your town stuck in my head because it sounds kinda like the title of a Richard Russo book.
Prickly Pete Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Arizona Cardinals game...blitz by their safety...I think it was Wilson. I agree that he was never the same afterwards. Maybe, but he was never any good before it either.
Sisyphean Bills Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 The guy can really move a team between the 20s.
ganesh Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 but the late bill walsh gave him a glowing recommendation!!! BTW, it was not just Bill Walsh, Even Steve Mariucci was gushing as to how Edwards never lost a game as a HS player and how he played in Stanford. Edwards had some good intangibles, but with the kitty offense run by our coaching staff, there was no chance for him to succeed. Arizona Cardinals game...blitz by their safety...I think it was Wilson. I agree that he was never the same afterwards. Actually he had one of his best games 2 weeks later against the San Diego Chargers!!
DrDawkinstein Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 He lost me when he said he wasn't a Bills fan. Done-zo.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 16, 2013 Author Posted April 16, 2013 Actually he had one of his best games 2 weeks later against the San Diego Chargers!! Thus, Obligatory Chargers game mention.
Tcali Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 i dont think ive ever seen a QB become so damaged mentally .-playing so scared--like a little old lady out there--and not a tough one. he should have quit a long time ago. thankfully he was 3rd string and never got hit again. he could become like a syd barrett if he is not careful. QUIT trent..no shame in it.
Dragonborn10 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 99 % of the posters on here would be crippled for life if they took that shot from Wilson. Maybe Trent was gun shy afterwards. Maybe he wasn't. But people act like he was a coward. He came back and played two weeks later. Most of us would have been hooked up to a feeding tube for life.
Bills Fan since '64 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Let's hope the Dolphins pick him up Sounds more like a Jets move. They could reunite him with Aaron Maybin.
benderbender Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Just going to say it... I hope for the best for this guy. He seemed creepy, spazlike, and a little bit of a dork but he was hard to dislike. Called it.
KGun12TD Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Get er done!! Sign him... or we're Doomed!! !! Trade Mario!! It's on like a mofo!! Super bowl!! Ralph is cheap!! Did I get most of 'em? I figured I would be the first and just get them all out of the way... Ha ha ha...thanks for this!
RealityCheck Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Trent Edwards always sucked. That hit had nothing to do with it. The guy was always afraid to through it down field if it wasn't man coverage. When he would face teams dropping 8 into coverage he would hold on to the ball and take the sack.
