IMzeke Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Trent Edwards is suffering from the same affliction as Losman did. The game is too fast for him. He has no anticipation and absolutely zero ability to react at the pace of this game. When you watch either of the Manning Brothers the differnce is their ability to read what will be, not what is. The great QB's like Kelly were often accused of thinking they could throw the ball right through defenders. The truth is they were reading that by the time the ball got there the defender would not be in the way. More often then not they were right, but more importantly they had the guts to go with their instincts. Trent has NO instincts a guy "like" Garcia does. Trent needed more time developing just like Losman did. Now he is flat out gun shy. It's a shame.
Ray Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 You're right....and one thing the Bills could do is bring in Garcai provided he could make amends with Owens. Losman was and is too slow to react and read defenses and was easily confused. Trent needs everything to be perfect in order for him to feel comfortable throwing the ball into coverage. This is the NFL and guys will not be 5-6 steps open. He has to anticipate and trust others on his team....too bad but he looks like a lost cause now. I am done listening and watching him play. Both Losman and Edwards are very nice guys....they just can't play QB well at all in the NFL
