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

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!

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 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.....

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
