Quarterback Controversy Brewing in Buffalo
The Buffalo Bills are on their bye week but could have a quarterback controversy brewing.
J.P. Losman participated in Wednesday's practice and seems close to being ready to play after missing two games because of a sprained knee. But Coach Dick Jauron hasn't said whether Losman will regain his starting job.
Rookie Trent Edwards looked poised and relatively polished while making his first two NFL starts in Losman's absence, directing a victory over the New York Jets and a near-miss loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. In the two games, Edwards completed 45 of 59 passes for 410 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions. For the season, Edwards has a passer rating of 75.2, to 69.0 for Losman.
Wide receiver Lee Evans said publicly this week that he thinks Losman should get another chance as the starter. But the opinion that matters--Jauron's--hasn't been voiced yet. The Bills face the Baltimore Ravens in 10 days.

Edwards is nothing special. During the entire game, they continusiouly talk about how well Edwards was perfoming. He did nothing to win the game, NOTHING! I did throw the interception to lose the game though. WOW! Losman could have done that. I'm not a Bills fan, but Edwards in not their answer.

The comments to this entry are closed.
I say start Trent Edwards especially after his outstanding performance against Dallas. Sure, the defense scored 12 points, the special teams added six, and the kicker tacked on six.
Edwards and the offense scored zero points despite three interceptions thrown by Tony "Rag Arm" Romo and a Romo fumble. The defense returned two picks for touchdowns.
Sure, J.P. Losman could have been just as inept as Trent Edwards.
On second thought, perhaps even Tom Brady would look like Edwards or Losman when operating in Dick Jauran's high powered offense.
