LSHMEAB Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 I always thought this narrative was complete NONSENSE. People seem to conveniently forget that Edwards played one of his "best" games the very next week(maybe there was a bye) after the hit in AZ. He had thrown exactly 3 TD's through 3 games BEFORE the "career altering" hit. He just wasn't any good and the team was eventually exposed as a fraud. People eat this stuff up with a spoon, but it's really just malarkey. 3 3
Mango Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 JESUS... I can grasp a couple of super homer and super negative Allen threads, but post BBMB, the multiple mirror threads have gotten absurd the last few years. Its a message board, we will keep calling eachother names, such is message board life, but this thread in particular really grinds my gears. Mods- can we close or merge please. 1 2
vorpma Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 There is more drama on TBD than a 1950's black and white western with Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne! We have lots of drama queens! 1

He had 2 100+ passer rating days before the injury and 4 after. 2008 was his best year by ANY/A and the injury happened very early on in the season (week 5?). 1

It was week 4. The fact that he bounced back against San Diego immediately after the injury tells me all I need to know. People act like he was some rising star before the hit when in reality, he was a middling guy and that's all he would ever be.
Jauronimo Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Troy Aikman had 37 concussions. Steve Young had a baker's dozen his first year as a pro. Why does one concussion make Allen just like Edwards and not like every other QB to ever to take a traumatic head injury (which is all of them)? There's a tiny chance this is Allen's first concussion. If Allen starts jabbering on about Dakota Fanning and moves in with his sister then we can worry. 1 1

We were 4-0 on the year going into that game and Trent was an early favorite for the Pro Bowl before the hit. Yea, he bounced back the next game (Week 7), btu he was never the same player again.
Steptide Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 U guys remember when Rob Johnson got hurt back in 2001? Hope Allen recovers ok...... ? 1

The BILLS were 4-0. The collective record of the teams they beat to get to 4-0 was an ASTOUNDING 16-48! Dude was averaging 1 TD per game in those victories. That 4-0 start was fool's gold and largely responsible for this false narrative. He just wasn't any good, but everyone is obviously entitled to their opinion. 1 minute ago, Steptide said: U guys remember when Rob Johnson got hurt back in 2001? Hope Allen recovers ok...... ? I membah. Well played.
KD in CA Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Thoughts and prayers. I really hope Josh can someday toss a football with his kids in the backyard. 2
4merper4mer Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Trent Edwards was drafted because Bill Walsh was playing a practical joke on Marv and gave him praise. Edwards sucked before during and after his concussion. 1
Beast Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) So, in the 3 games Edwards won after the concussion, he was OK? He was just effected when he lost? Edited October 2, 2019 by Binghamton Beast 1

Really only became a name because Bill Walsh supposedly recommended him. 1

Koko78 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Just now, TwistofFate said: No, not really. Oh, ok then. We'll just ignore that Allen has a far more aggressive playstyle as QB.
TwistofFate Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Spare me all of your "he played the best game of his career coming off his concussion." He had weeks to prepare coming off a bye, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder takes up to a month, sometimes years to manifest. Post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms may start within one month of a traumatic event, but sometimes symptoms may not appear until years after the event. Edwards was NEVER the same after getting stretched out.
