Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 They NEEDED to question something they are die-hard Losman fans.They even tried to invent that BS about him not being able to play in bad weather. I'll give them that. The one criticism I have of TE is that he seems to throw a weak ball into a 40 mph wind with three feet of snow on the ground.
Fingon Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Competent? Are you kidding me? Competent is 20-30 for 200... 25-30 260 is awesome.
zow2 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Ya know Miami could have had Edwards but they took John Beck (who I bet never starts another game in his career). SOmetimes the NFL scouts are just complete buffoons.
bbills17 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 When the pick was made most of these experts were saying that we wasted the pick because we already had JP and a 3rd rounder was too high a pick to waste on a backup Qb.I told them he wasn't drafted as a backup and they called me every name in the book. Talk about eating crow. Yeah hahaha Live and learn. Yes, you're right. The so-called 'experts' around here don't eat crow, they'll disappear, or just flame you for pointing this out. Quite a few of these experts swore Willis was a top-5 back and defended him until the end (where are you now Peter), swore Trent was a wasted pick since we had JP, swore Rob Johnson was better than Doug Flutie, etc.
bbills17 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Exactly he sustains drives. True. And we STILL have people here that swear the Arizona game would have been exactly the same with Trent at QB which is absolute BS. The little things that keep our D on the field, change momentum, cause turnovers, etc are what turns a game around completely. JP is the worst at this.
bizell Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 yeah, our defense was so well rested we allowed san diego to convert 7 of 11 3rd downs.
Da Big Man Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Just curious. Where are all the JP backers who felt like he didn't get a fair shake in 4 seasons? I know they are still here.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 yes, that's correct. trent edwards was actually the one that picked off the rivers pass in the EZ and forced the fumbles on Rivers. Trent lead all our scoring dives and not a single turnover, and only 5 incomplete passes for the entire game. What else do you want? PTR

PTR his cult to quit parroting the mantra 'the defense plays better with trent in there' when it's been proven a fallacy?

Yes they are they still here they just deleted my last 3 posts. lol The worms are lurking just under the surface. They don't want the I told you so that they deserve.

Big Turk Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 My only concern about trent is that Chad Pennington started out his career the same way. Very accurrate , smart, but average arm. one arm injury and we are lookin at 25 yard "bombs" to coles al la jets 2005-07 Trent has a much stronger arm than Chad ever could have dreamed of having...I would put Edwards arm in the middle of the pack as far as NFL QB's...the guy has plenty of arm strength to make any kind of throw he needs to make...

To be fair to Pennington, he had more arm strength before tearing his rotator cuff not once but twice (if memory serves). It's about the worst injury a QB can get.
marauderswr80 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 The team can finally sustain a drive.........
Simon Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Yeah, I remember when Simon was kicking people off for such truth. For shame. Freedom of Speech much! That's weird cuz all I remember was Simon booting people for being obnoxious crusading asses, regardless of which QB was "their guy". What's past is prologue....
JimmyPage Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Yeah, I remember when Simon was kicking people off for such truth. For shame. Freedom of Speech much! Beerball The Senator the Dean They are all very quiet these days. They were like a pack of dogs for their boy losman spewing very insult and filthy name under the sun on JP's behalf. If you thought Edwards was drafted to replace their boy you were as good as gone. Now they are in denial. I wonder why. They won't let this post either they'll beg the mod to get rid of it and me.
Tcali Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 To be fair to Pennington, he had more arm strength before tearing his rotator cuff not once but twice (if memory serves). It's about the worst injury a QB can get. Yes he did(very slightly but what little he had has come mostly back) but he still had a fairly weak arm.. Chad is a good QB. Even before the injury his arm was considered poofy. Looking at him throw now---he is just about back to his original arm strength--which was never much.
Da Big Man Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 That's weird cuz all I remember was Simon booting people for being obnoxious crusading asses, regardless of which QB was "their guy".What's past is prologue.... Thats subjective! Any opinion varying from JP backing was killed. I still have them in my history.
ax4782 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 his cult to quit parroting the mantra 'the defense plays better with trent in there' when it's been proven a fallacy? When the time of possession is 35:29 to 24:31, for the Bills because we have a solid QB running the offense and not making mistakes, that does in fact make a difference for the defense. A well rested defense is a defense that plays better. Perhaps that is why the defense does in fact play better when Trent is in there. You make statements that the d playing better when Edwards plays is a fallacy, but you don't back it up with any proof or evidence to show why. That's because anyone who can competently look at a team in the NFL knows that Defenses play better when their offense can control the clock and keep them off the field. Perhaps that fact slipped your mind. The only game where we didn't win the TOP battle this season, was the one we lost. That's not a coincidence. Keep in mind that our TOP last year was one of the worst in the league.

Even before the injury his arm was considered poofy. Looking at him throw now---he is just about back to his original arm strength--which was never much. I've always liked Chad -- a smart player and a good leader. The league needs more players like him. Of course, I want him to lose every game.
