Codyny13 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Great read. If you believe nothing else about Ej his work ethic and desire to get better are evident. A full healthy off-season, and a year of studying the play book and talking w Hackett can only mean good things. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Remember when Bill Walsh told us Trent Edwards was good...this is next to useless information Unfortunately, yeah. I remember a similar story regarding Tim Tebow, and we all know how that turned out. Edit: Just so we're straight, I'm NOT comparing EJ to Tebow. In fact, I'm sorta starting to drink the EJ kool-aide. Edited May 15, 2014 by Rocky Landing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So...why did we hire a QB coach then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 There are always these articles about Qb coaches who are going to dramatically improve a bad qb's mechanics. It rarely comes to fruition, and it never happens quickly. It takes so much time and repetition for it to become natural and the guys with bad mechanics typically aren't good enough to buy themselves that time in the league. i haven't been this excited since david lee fixed fitz.

thewildrabbit Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Remember when Bill Walsh told us Trent Edwards was good...this is next to useless information However, this year Bills O line could be one of the best they have had in a long time. That second round OT was graded as a late first rounder by many. That fifth round OT / OG was graded as a second round pick, and in a lot of top 100 rankings. At least EJ shouldn't be able to blame his line. So, we will see come September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 EJ has the talent. Just needs the balance, OL to protect him, and the WR's to throw too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasMac Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 A lot of times it just doesn't matter how hard of a worker you are. You either have the talent or you don't. I love how hard of a worker EJ is. He is determined to be successful. Really rooting for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 These puff articles about new coaches, training techniques, change of scenery, etc are a dime a dozen. How could we forget the one in the Buffalo News about John McCargo's rebirth under Bill Kollar. There is no substitute for experience and hard work but you also need talent to succeed in the NFL, especially at QB. Look no farther than Ryan Fitzpatrick or JP Losman.

Thurman#1 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Remember when Bill Walsh told us Trent Edwards was good...this is next to useless information On the contrary, learning that EJ is working on his throwing motion and other things with a QB coach is a very hopeful sign. Not a guarantee, but far from useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny33 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Trent was good until he got a concussion. Trent was ok. He had, maybe, four good games. Edwards never put back-to-back quality games together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
