Would Trent Edwards Fit As Panthers QB?

Brian Brohm In, Trent Edwards On The Way Out Of Buffalo

It was reported today that when QB Brian Brohm was signed off the Packers Practice Squad, he signed a 2 year contract. This looks like "Brian Brohm is in, Trent Edwards on the way out of Buffalo".

The Bills have benched QB Trent Edwards, in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick (I don't think he's even a short term answer at QB), and Edwards isn't taking it well. He's refusing to talk to reporters about his demotion, and may be on the fast track out of town.

If Edwards is on his way out of Buffalo, he might be the type of QB John Fox likes.

I like Trent Edwards and I wanted us to draft him when he came out. I don't think he is the problem in Buffalo, but I don't care what John Fox likes, I want him gone.

I would welcome Trent Edwards as the Panthers QB because he's smart and is a good decision maker.He's also accurate,completing 65.5 percent of his passes last season.

My only concern would be his durability,but at 6'4" 231 lbs he should be ok with the decent OL of the Panthers.

Trent Edwards was a 3rd round pick by Buffalo in 2007,so he has some experienmce and would probably excel if he could get out of the circus they call a football team in Buffalo

Is Edwards that bad that the Bills really think Fitzpatrick is a better option?

Who?!?

He played for the BILLS for God's sakes, wouldn't hurt to bring him in for a look at least. With our running game alls he would have to do is be a game manager, think he could do it better than Jake TBH.

If he's so good, why would the Bills even consider letting him get away? The Bills were touted as playoff contenders by some before this season started. They looked good against NE until the final 2 minutes in their season opener. Maybe a new address will be good for him, but is that address in Charlotte? Given how Jake hasn't really progressed a whole lot in his mechanics since he's been here, it's fair to ask if we have anyone at present who can properly develop a young QB? I'd look at him before I'd look at, say, Brady Quinn, but as I said, if he is considered to have such great potential, why would they let him go?

If I was to take a chance on a young QB already on a roster, I might take a look at those who back up Brady and Peyton Manning. Those teams have special QBs, and it's no acccident, they obviously know how to get the most out of them, and developed them properly. Maybe someone who has been there and around those 2 guys and their coaching staffs will have enough in the way of established fundamentals that they are worth a look. It's no less a gamble than drafting a QB, or signing a FA, if our team feels that we need a new QB!

Edwards is horrible. He had pretty good receivers and a really good run game, but still crap. I wouldnt give him a look at all.

SERIOUSLY???

trent edwards doesnt even belong in the nfl..hes a backup QB at best..hes about the same as jake at the moment..captain checkdown is not what the panthers need..

[scpanther22]

At least I agree with you on this one. I prefer someone who is proven.

[Jangler]

Sure. Why not? He sucks. He would fit right in.

I love all these threads where people offer up QB ideas and they're all garbage: Edwards, Campbell, Thigepen, Pat White, Quinn, etc. Why don't we set our goals a tad bit higher? And no, don't ask me how we could get a QB like that. It just depresses me to think McCown, Trent Edwards, or freakin' Brady Quinn is the future of this team.

I think Edwards would fit perfectly in Carolina. After all, his play is remarkably similar to Jake's.

[rayzor]

all i ask is for people to have a little higher standards.

a big fat NO!!!!!! on edwards.

i don't care if he is or isn't better than jake. if he is, it's like people saying don't be upset about the direction the panthers are going because at least they aren't the bills or the browns or the raiders.....
