Brian Brohm and ???I know he was crap but what else do they have behind Fitz? They suck!
Godsbrother
Footballguy
Is JP Losman still avaible?
TommyGilmore

So..............again I ask............if they knew he sucked.......WHY NOT DO THIS IN TRAINING CAMP?!?
Not only did they waste an opportunity to try out another QB in camp, but they guaranteed Edwards' salary for the entire 2010 season.
So, to recap:
1. wasted the season
2. wasted Edwards' salary
3. too late to get another QB
Ladies and gentlemen.......your 2010 Buffalo Bills!

Am I the only one that doesn't think Edwards is totally done, right situation etc and he could do ok, Arizona jumps out.

Pick me! Pick me! I've always wanted to play pro football!
Yeah you are on your own on that one.

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The "experiment" is over

No, I agree. Dude has a strong arm and some mobility. He does make some bad decisions with the ball, but most of his problems have to do with him being surrounded by a craptastic team.

How Did Fitzpatrick look? Any Chance for a passing game ie Lee Evans, Roscoe Parrish?

I would have thought that this means they bring Levi Brown back in as #3 QB, but not even signing him to the practice squad probably means that he was beyond awful.

jags need this guy.

I'm so sick of this cliche. Since when is drafting a guy and then trying to develop him considered an experiment?It's this and "he threw it where only his receiver could catch it" (often said after an incomplete pass) that are battling for my most-hated pro football cliche.

I'm sad to see him go, actually.

You obviously have never watched him playI have seen every snap he has taken and he is nowhere near a NFL QB.He does not have a strong arm; where are you getting that from?? He actually has one of the worst arms Ive seen out of a QB. Any pass over 10 yards (if he even throws one) looks like a wounded duck. He gets no velocity. "Some Mobility"
That dude is about as mobile as a turtleBipolar Bengals

With the first pick of the 2011 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select...

We could poll 1,000,000 Americans with healthy representation from the housewifes, toddlers and Snooki fan demographics and you'd be on your own.

it was only 2 years ago that the fantasy football experts that be were hyping him up.

I would think he would at least get a look from Jax.

The Bills desperately need a rookie cap in place to be able to sign whoever they pick.

... a running back.

Nope... Edwards (and Losman) had great potential, with the right coaching could be decent NFL QBs. It wouldn't surprise me to see Edwards on another team within the week.

This move says VOLUMES about the incompetent Bills management.
I haven't seen anything to excite me about Edwards but I will at least give him a mulligan and benefit of the doubt until he goes somewhere else. I imagine it is hard to stand out and look good in Buffalo. That's kind of like wondering out loud "How effective would Lee Evan be in, say, San Diego or minnesota, instead of Bufflao"? "Would Marshawny Lynch be a better player somewhere else"?

Absolutely they had great potential; sometimes QB's just get wrecked. And few ever come back from it. The "change of scenery" argument is more applicable with RB/WR/TE. QB and supporting cast can make all the difference in the world.

Sometimes players practice well, but play poor, or vice versa. Edwards was apparently the poster boy for the former.

First team I thought of too.Did just see that the Jags are bringing in Keith Null for a visit, presumably to sign.
Grigs Allmoon
Footballguy
I'll give you "some mobility" but that's about it. The guy has always had a poor team around him, yet he has regressed a ton. There's no excuse for that.
Sammy Traveller
Footballguy
yeah. i wonder if they brought Null in before they heard the news about Edwards. this could impact the negotiations for Null.

So last year the Bills got rid of the offensive coordinator right before the season starts. This year they outright release their Week 1 starting QB after Week 3. What a disaster of an organization. And the only real consistency over the last 15 years has been Ralph Wilson. So there's only one person to blame and until he departs this earth, things aren't turning around. An owner with any common sense tells his GM and Head Coach that if they made the decision that Edwards was good enough to be the starter, than he needed to stay on the roster all year.
Enough with the incompetence. There's no hope to improve the team going forward if the organization misjudged talent that badly.

He took a huge hit from Adrian Wilson in late '08 IIRC; was never really the same since then.My gut says AZ wouldn't think that he would much of an upgrade (if any) over Max Hall.

At least they lasted longer than Cleveland did with Charlie Frye a few years back.

The Bills organization is finding new ways to humiliate their fan base.

Per Adam Schefter, The Bills will sign Levi Brown to the active roster. Interesting after the Bills cut him, he couldn't even land on the practice squad of another team. I guess Buffalo really is last chance alley of the NFL.

Wow, that's how far we have fallen. A Raiders fan bashing the Bills organization. lolIt was a good move that should have been done in the off season. Gailey is still building for the future, and the last thing the Bills needed was another Johnson/ Flutie debacle.

Sad to say Grove, you're correct. I think Ralphie meddles a lot more into decisions than people think.So last year the Bills got rid of the offensive coordinator right before the season starts. This year they outright release their Week 1 starting QB after Week 3. What a disaster of an organization. And the only real consistency over the last 15 years has been Ralph Wilson.

Definition of the word experiment:1.
a test, trial, or tentative procedure; an act or operation for the purpose of discovering something unknown or of testing a principle, supposition, etc.: a chemical experiment; a teaching experiment; an experiment in living.
2.
the conducting of such operations; experimentation: a product that is the result of long experiment.
Either way, the experience of Trent Edwards in Buffalo fits the definition. Before you spout off about what you hate, ensure you don't make yourself look like a fool in the process.
