Do you think Trent Edwards is finished in the NFL?

is not done. He has a future in the league and it could very well be with us. If not, I think he’ll land on his feet. I hope we keep him.

I’d be willing to give him another shot, he does have his good points and with an OL to protect him i feel he has the arm AND accuracy to make the big plays we need to put the mark in the W column.

I’m getting tired of buying quarterback jerseys every year!!!
jk…

I hope he starts against Atlanta.

For two years Trent has showed an inability to get the ball down the field, consistently. Settling for 3-7 yard checks. No offense can succeed in this manner. He didn’t have a running game and the line was in shambles but there was last year as well. His future is the same as it was this year, he needs to improve his game.

Fitz may be worse from a skill level, but he isn’t intimidated by the interception and rather expects his receivers to play the ball when it is in the air. He also needs to improve his game, but IMO there is a better up side here. He dissappointed many last week and if that continues, he too will be history. If he improves dramatically over the last three games, we could have a step forward going into next year. Just a step not an answer.

I think he has a chance of being a decent QB, but it’s not with us. Trent needs a new start somewhere else to clear his head and try to recover from the disaster he has endured the past couple years.

Trent has all the tools and talents. Put him behind the Vikings O-Line this year and he’d be doing great. He just needs a solid O-Line in front of him like most quarterbacks.

I like the guy and I think he showed enough good things for him to be considered a viable option for this staff or the next staff that will be in place. He has the tools and has proven that he can make all the throws. What I liked about his game early in his carreer is that he played with anticipation and he was able to hit the intermediate passes.
Right now he’s not playing that way, something happened, the concussion? playing without confidence? I don’t really know, but I’m not ready to close the door on him.
I think sitting on the bench right now is a good thing for him, he can evaluate his carreer so far where he can evaluate the positives and the negatives he has lived so far. Maybe things start to slow down for him and the next time he steps on the field, is in a good light.
He might not be the answer but he would be a solid back-up, he comes with a cheap salary and he has one year remaining in his contract so I don’t get some of the comments that say that he should be cut.

I think Trent could be the stopgap that everyone is talking about for next year. He at least knows the offense. And he will have two driving forces to make him better next year:
A better offensive line (I mean thats the #1 need right?)
The knowledge that this is his last shot.

But lets not forget he was drafted initially to be a quality backup for JP. Injury forced him in and he is good enough to get the job done. I, at least, liked his decision making and lack of turnovers compared to JP. Now that he is gone Trent’s decision making comes under fire. I don’t think that is very fair.
He has the physical tools to be a good QB and he is very smart. I think confidence and an understanding of “risk” taking needs to be instilled.

But the MAIN problem with bringing him back in to play will be everyone else on the team. Like MRW said, if the team doesn’t follow him, its over. Look at the Raiders, no one trusted JaMR and when Gradkoski comes in a spark lifts their team to victory.

ahhh. good point.
