granitestatebillsbackers Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Is it me, or is Edwards being summarily dismissed by the national media and "experts?" Lots of talk about the D, virtually no love for Trent. That victory tomorrow is going to be even sweeter when Edwards continues to progress and has a better game than last week. How does 2 TDs, 1 int and about 275 sound to you all? GO BILLS! Eskimo

Eskimo Tell you what, I like that 95.8 QB rating. Very efficient. And only one sack. No fumbles. It's funny, but I just don't feel as nervous with T.E. going back to pass.

robkmil Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 He may never be a star, but he's great for this offense so far.

San-O Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 The O-line & play calling couldn't have anything to do with that. I'll bite: Regarding the QB rating and efficiency, of course. Regarding not being nervous with T.E. back there, more so him.

How does 2 TDs, 1 int and about 275 sound to you all? GO BILLS! Eskimo The media isn't going to go for him until he puts up prolific numbers-- e.g., 300+ yards, 4 TD's games. As soon as Derek Anderson started having those kinds of stats, he became a media darling. Our offense isn't designed to be like that, nor is our defense going to be so bad as to require Trent to throw that much. I'm happy with run/pass balance, which is what we had last game.
The Dean Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 So far, I haven't seen Edwards disrespected. Not once. The Bills have won ONE game, so far this year. In that game, ST scored most of the points. Edwards threw for 1 TD, and that was on a 1-play drive, from Seattle's 30, due to a great ST play. Based on this one game, I would expect to hear/read a lot of praise for the ST, some praise for the D (holding Seattle to 10 points, 4 sacks and many QB knock downs, etc) and some general positive mentions of the offense (Edwards included). In fact that is EXACTLY what I have been reading/hearing. If you can find lack of respect in the Bills' coverage, this week, you are looking too hard, for it.

Dwight Drane Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 One guy that is in love with Edwards is Jim Rome. He was on his show 3 times the past 2 weeks. Edwards will have true football fans take notice as long as he stays healthy. He may not put up 4,000 yds and 30 TDs, but he is such a bright kid and has the tools to get the job done. I said last year that he is somewhere between Fergie and Jim Kelly on the list of Bills QBs. That should get us some pretty nice results over the next decade.
lets_go_bills Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Sterling Sharpe said on AFC Playbook that Trent is one of the most accurate QBs in the NFL. That made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

What happened to you anyways? Jail time?
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 He may never be a star, but he's great for this offense so far. I don't care if Trent Edwards never becomes the next Tom Brady or Payton Manning. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that the team winning is the most important thing, not one individual player's stats.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I think I speak for everyone here when I say that the team winning is the most important thing, not one individual player's stats. There's a handful of posters here that disagree, to them it's more important to be right. Welcome to TSW.

There's a handful of posters here that disagree, to them it's more important to be right. Welcome to TSW. Of course, you are both right. But, there are times when teams win DESPITE the play of the QB, and then I understand fans wanting a QB change. Chicago certainly wasn't comfortable with Rex at QB. Baltimore has had success, yet they have changed their QB on a number of occasions. And, I recall a time when the Bills were winning while their QB wasn't performing very well. Fortunately, this is not the case with the Bills (at least not so far, this year).

DIE HARD 1967 Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Whos need their respect anyway...just win and forget the media
WellDressed Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 The O-line & play calling couldn't have anything to do with that. I bet your biased because he came from a privileged family. I have always wanted to say this, so I finally did.

Granted, I WANT Trent Edwards to have a good season but if he's only average and we make it to the playoffs on the strength of the rest of the team I'd be far happier than if Edward's puts up great numbers but we go 7-9 again.
