even our QB controversy is pathetic.

Trent should start and they should be looking for QBs for next year. If Trent can regain his “mojo” he can play well, certainly better than the options.

As a side question, why did we enter the season with Hamdan and not a UDFA or flier from the draft? I don’t see any upside to Hamdan.

He’s a smart guy. Hopefully watching Fitz has been a lesson in decisiveness and trusting his receivers.

Now lets see if he can save his career, but not play so good to save the coach’s job

yeah, thank God we don’t have to talk about which QB is less crappier anymore. They both are the crappiest. It seems unfathomable that we moved the ball on the Patriots and had sustaining 80 yd drives for (gasp) TD’s?! If we don’t get the ball at the opposing 30 yd line, there is zero chance of scoring

for the first time in recent memory, maybe ever, I sort of cant get worked up about the big picture outlook of this season. Maybe its because I’m accepting this administration is done or that neither QB is going to be starting in the future or maybe its because Jairus Byrd makes me all happy about having a superstar safety on the team for the next decade and so I care less about right now or maybe its because great teams are built around o-lines that have been built from the ground up together- like this one is – and so right now doesnt matter so much as having a strong young line in the near future.

Either way, I don’t really care who starts. I like Trent so let him do it but I just want to watch the team play on Sundays and hope for a win. Oh wait, I figured out why I’m not getting worked up about this season. We’ve headed for 7-9 three times in a row, I think I know what it feels like now, and wouldnt you know it – it feels like we are headed for 7-9 again. I will be psyched if we go on a tear, I will be depressed if we go on a never ending losing streak but right now I’ll take each game as they come because it feels like we’ll be 5-5 in two weeks 5-7 in four 6-7 in five 6-8 in six, 7-8 and then 7-9. Starter doesn’t matter that much.

Since I only get to see the stats and drives and not the actual game; even the stats are mediocrely better with Edwards. And honestly 3 games and the Bills have forced how many turn overs?
I saw the drive chart for the Houstons/Bills first two drives
 Houston: INT
  Bills: Didn’t move the ball
   Houston: 3 and out
    Bills: Still can’t move the ball

The Bills’ offense couldn’t outplay a Texans team without Owen Daniels, a bruised-lung Andre Johnson, a backup RB, and a QB throwing off his back foot most of the day.

Do we even really know just how bad things are with this offense? Have we seen the worst?!

The joke is we have no QB controversy because we have no QB’s worthy enough to have a controversy. The reality of it all is… we certainly do have a controversy and we will have 8 remaining games to figure it all out…

Our controversy will be whether or not Edwards will be our starting QB next year or not. Forget Fitzpatrick, he will be a career back-up. Edwards will be playing for his last chance at showing he is the leader and QB of the future for this team.

IMO, the Bills will certainly be doing something more about the QB position in the offseason. What they do is the controversy. Will they invest in a FA to prove that he can take over the reigns in Buffalo? Spend the money for a back-up ready to step into a starting role (who will you get, Matt Schaub or Rob Johnson?). OR spend the money for a Veteran who is not quite done and can still lead a team (Who will you get, Daunte Culpepper or Kurt Warner?).

Say the Bills don’t want to address the QB in FA (because they are cheap and will lean toward the Fitzpatrick route), they decide to take a young player in the draft. The controversy here is where will they decide to take one… Do a NY Jets and move up and get the guy you really want for the future and have to pay him the big buck along with it. Or wait until the cream of all the talent is gone and take some one later in the rounds that will need plenty of grooming.

Either way, I hope we have a QB controversy because either Edwards needs something to light a fire under his a$$ like competition or he needs to be let go at the end of his contract with another QB failure in Buffalo like JP Losman.

Doesn’t it?? Eventually, the offense has to find some sort of sync, right? They can’t possibly go all season, with these play makers, and average 200 yards of offense per game. I could understand if we didn’t have a true No. 1 receiver and journeymen running the ball, but we have pro bowlers handling the ball!! I know the line is young, but even they have to find some sort of cohesiveness after spending the last 2 months together. Why can’t they figure it out??

When it comes to the off season, if Buffalo is high enough on the board (top 8), I say go for a franchise QB and plan for the future. Should they ruin that possibility and pick 10-20, find a FA and try to piece something together.

LOL

Everyone seems to think that a different QB (even a 2010 rookie) is going to turn it all around. It takes so much time and if anything, this organization can be faulted for pulling the plug on QBs too early.

I think it was Nick Mendola this AM who stated this, saying that when Bledsoe failed, Losman was the guy they needed to win it now. Then he sucked and Edwards became the guy to win it now. They don’t seem to be taking the time to instill talent around these guys’ strengths to help them mature and succeed in the league.

Selecting QBs is the one position/instance I hope organizations don’t listen to the fanbase.

- Doesn’t matter who the Q.B. is when you have a pitiful offensive line, a team that cannot even put a drive together. These offensive lineman cannot even establish any semblance of a running game.
- Until the Bills have a “solid offensive line”, they will never be even an average team.
- Quarterback controversy! The only controversy is when this organization will wake up and start building a good offensive and defensive line.
- Don’t give me the Bills have won two in a row, when Sanchez and Delhomme were the real reasons the Bills won.
- Bills should have one win right now and I don’t see them winning anymore than 1-2 games the rest of the year!

Does anyone see a trend here… We have a rookie QB that comes in and plays well with all kinds of potential, then after Bills coaching gets a hold of him for a while, they go into a shell and can’t fire the ball all over the field.

We hated Losman because he would never get rid of the ball. He had a gun for an arm but became stiffeled by our offensive play calling and reads downfield.

We are hating Edwards, because he looks downfield and checks down quickly to the short passes… he is hesitant and takes sacks like Losman.

Either the trend is that the offensive coaching and play calling is so predictable and conservative that our QB’s can’t do anything else in Buffalo OR that our OL continues to be so bad year after year that it doesn’t matter the play call, we can’t block or give either QB enough time to find players downfield?

Either way, I think it all leads back to Jauron and his conservative approach to coaching and trying to win games.

Just from the few games I’ve watched, I’m not seeing TOO much of a difference between them. Fitz is at least winning games, so I’d suggest him

All but official now. LINK

Expect to see QB Trent Edwards back on the field for the Bills. Soon.

Edwards, who has missed the last two games after suffering a concussion, is expected back when the Bills return from their bye week, a team source tells NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora. Edwards has been progressing well and performing better in cognitive testing and should resume full practice soon.

Ryan Fitzpatrick had been starting in Edwards’ absence.

But not a whole lot older. Both are 26, although Fitz will have a birthday this month. That said, Edwards needs to be starting immediately.
