Changing QBs after two weeks is act of desperation - Jerry Sullivan - The Buffalo News
"But this move, pulling the rug out two weeks into the regular season, smacks of desperation. It makes Gailey look weak and wishy-washy, and leads me to wonder if he's even remotely as sharp an offensive mind as we've been led to believe."

Bills QB situation
Gailey makes the switch: Fitz to start at QB Sunday - BuffaloBills.com
"With his history with Trent Edwards brief, there was some thought that Bills head coach Chan Gailey might hang in a little longer with his starting quarterback to see if things would change for the better. After a pair of substandard performances however, Gailey pulled the plug tabbing backup Ryan Fitzpatrick as his starter at quarterback."

Inside The Bills | Fitz to provide input "
"When it comes to Buffalo’s game plan each week Chan Gailey is obviously at the controls, but he does seek input from his starting quarterback and with a new signal caller under center this week, Ryan Fitzpatrick confirmed that there will be conversations before the game plan is formulated by the offensive staff Tuesday."

"We're going to make a change at quarterback," Gailey said. "We're looking for a spark. We're looking for something that gives us a new look, a new thought process, some new play on the field. We're looking for the right combination. We haven't found that yet."

"This marks the second time Edwards has been benched after being replaced by Fitzpatrick midway through last year. And it's a significant setback for the fourth-year player who reclaimed the starting job by winning a three-way competition against Fitzpatrick and third-stringer Brian Brohm this offseason."

"I’m excited for the opportunity and obviously we have a lot of work to do. We’ve got to correct a lot of things from the last few weeks and we’ve got a tough opponent this week in New England. But I’m really excited for the challenge and excited to get out there. I think Chan was just looking for something. We haven’t really had a spark the last few weeks and sometimes the best thing to do is just move the pieces around a little bit..."

"The mistake to start Edwards was compounded by Gailey's decision to give him all of the quality reps. Fitzpatrick played in only two preseason games. He worked mostly with backup players in relief of Edwards."

"So here we go with Fitzpatrick again. It's more than worth pointing out that for all intents and purposes, he went 5-4 taking over for Edwards last season. He's a smart player that's does a lot to overcome his limitations as a quarterback. At the very least he shows a willingness to chuck the ball downfield. Terrell Owens will tell you that."

Take A Seat: Edwards Heading to Bench, Fitzpatrick Becomes Starter " Bills Gab
"The curse of Jim Kelly is alive and well. We can now safely add Trent Edwards’ name to that woeful list, if you haven’t added his name already. Edwards joins the ranks of Todd Collins, Rob Johnson, Drew Bledsoe, Alex Van Pelt, and J.P. Losman as failed successors to Kelly."
Fitzpatrick named starter; has Edwards started his last game as a Bill? | BuffaloSportsNow.com
"Clearly, Gailey and the Bills organization has lost patience with Edwards in my opinion. I'd be shocked if he started another game with this team barring a Fitzpatrick injury. Could I take it a step further and say he'll never be a starter in this league again? Perhaps. But Edwards has been a major disappointment after a solid rookie season, and Bills fans won't miss him at all."
The Fitz switch — Trent to bench - NickMendola.com
"I believe Gailey is auditioning Fitzpatrick — an able-bodied, intelligent quarterback who will never rock the boat — to be the No. 2 quarterback of the Chan Gailey era in Buffalo, and that the coach also knows he wants the era to be longer than two years."
Andrew Luck could improve Buffalo Bills | Democrat and Chronicle
"After watching Andrew Luck perform in Stanford's 68-24 romp over Wake Forest Saturday night (the kickoff was 11:25 p.m., so you might have missed it), I not only believe he has the talent to start for the Bills next season and become the franchise's long-awaited "franchise quarterback," I believe he could start for the Bills and be an improvement this Sunday."
