Keeping Your Enemies Closer: Buffalo Bills

One of the things we like to do here each week is talk with an opposing blogger and learn about the opposition. And that's why Brian Galliford of Buffalo Rumblings will join us twice this week in preparation for Sunday's Dolphins/Bills game.
Today, Brian answers 3 questions about his 5-1 Bills team. I have also answered 3 questions about the Dolphins - which you can check out over at his site.
Matty I: Alright - be honest. Did you really think the Bills could be this good this quick to start the season? And who/what have been some of the key reasons as to why the Bills have been as good as they have been?
Brian G: Honestly? I thought they were going to be good. I didn't think they'd be 5-1. I might have guessed (and subsequently prayed for) 4-2, but clearly, they've exceeded everyone's expectations up here. We haven't had many pleasant surprises in this area for quite some time; we've had a whole bunch of them this year.
DE Aaron Schobel said it best: when asked to name the biggest factor in the Bills' surge up the standings this season, he succinctly replied, "We have a quarterback now." Trent Edwards is the difference; a better defense certainly doesn't hurt. But I sense you're about to ask me questions about both of those topics...
Matty I: Let's talk quarterback. Trent Edwards looked promising last season. But he's been playing out of this world this season, to be honest. So tell us about your QB. What are his strengths/weakness and so on?
Brian G: I could write novel(s) about this guy. There's so much I'm hearing about what Edwards is on and off the field, what he means to his teammates, how he carries himself - it's all good news (for us, anyways). He's doing everything right. We're so excited about this kid, however, that we tend to get a little carried away - he's got more work to do. We still haven't made the playoffs in 8 years.
Strengths: poise, accuracy, the ability to read coverages, leadership. He's got a good arm. He knows where he's going with the football. He's just one of the more balanced quarterbacks in the league, and if our line can keep him healthy, he's going to get better and better. I'm not sure there's a weakness to his game other than general inexperience and a lack of production in the TD department. He's thrown 5 touchdowns in 5 full games; to be elite, you need to be more potent in that area. I think it's coming. But what he brings to this team from a leadership standpoint is invaluable for now. I think he's on his way to great things. Perhaps Edwards/Henne is the next generation Kelly/Marino...
Matty I: I'm amazed at the turnaround of Buffalo's defense. Last year, they were 31st in the league, surrendering 363 yards per game. But in 2008, they are just outside of the top 10 and are only giving up 293 yards. What do you attribute this to?
Brian G: Health is the biggest factor, in my opinion. The team lost so many starters last year it was unreal, and I think the biggest loss was MLB Paul Posluszny. He was on his way to a great rookie year, and when he went down, we lost not only production, but the development of a key young player. Poz has been outstanding this season - he's done better than expected in coverage, blows up plenty of run plays, blitzes well, and is the team's leading tackler.
Clearly, the importing of Marcus Stroud and Kawika Mitchell has helped, as has the development of guys like DT Kyle Williams and nickel CB Ashton Youboty. Williams has been playing out of his mind; he doesn't look anything like a former fifth-round pick. The talent level is better, they're staying relatively healthy, and defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is a bit more creative in his scheming. Opponents can still chew up yardage and put up points on this defense, but it's much more difficult than it has been in recent seasons.
All I can say is that we can only hope that Trent Edwards/Chad Henne becomes a 21st century version of Jim Kelly/Dan Marino. Because if that was to happen, it means Henne is indeed the QB that we all are hoping he is. So from Brian's lips to God's ears!
A big thanks to Brian for helping us out. And remember to head over to Buffalo Rumblings to see what he asked me about our Dolphins.
And we'll have more from Brian tomorrow as we prepare for the 1st meeting of the year between these two rivals.
Thoughts below...

Rising to the Occasion
We seem to play better against better competition. It’s time to shoot some Buffalo.
Stopping the run will be key with our starting NT banged up and probably not playing. Hopefully Soliai can step up in his 2nd year and plug the middle rotating with Starks.
If I could write the perfect script, it would be a TD from Ginn on special teams, J Peezy causing a fumble and returning it for a TD. The wildcat breaks out a TD and the defense makes the young Edwards look like Edward Scissorhands while plugging up Lynch.
We haven’t won the Bills since ’05? F**k me.

the good news is
the bills center …. is maybe the worst center in the NFL… so Soliai has a fighting chance of holding his own.

OH MY GOD!! TRENT EDWARDS IS JIM KELLY..........
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!
STAT GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRENT EDWARDS: 106-152 1,209 YARDS, 5 TD 2 INT
PENNINGTON: 118-172 1,396 6 TD 3 INT
am i missing something here?
Buffallo has not beat a team with a winning record
I dont think its a good idea to go saying your ex quarterback sucked when he is sitting right next to you in the locker room….and plays allot when Edwards gets hurt every other game.
Edwards 3rd rd pick……Beck 2nd rd pick……edge to Edwards there…ughhhhhhhhhhhh

Not sure I said Edwards was Kelly; in fact, I don’t believe that at all.
Also not sure what you’re attempting to prove with the Edwards/Pennington stat comparison. I think Chad’s having a good season.
I didn’t mention J.P. Losman once in answering that question.

“we have a qb now”…means….“we had a crappy qb before”….and he is still there….dumb linemen making statements. as soon as edwards goes out AGAIN he will be saying Losman is awesome….
Im trying to say im not drinking the Edwards koolaid….he is average….allot like Penny…wont lose u a game but wont win many either.
I would say Penny having better stats with the wrs we have and our record shows edwards has just been a good manager,,,,not flame thrower

Sure. Minus the four career fourth-quarter comeback wins in 16 games and all.
“We have a QB now” doesn’t mean “Losman sucks”; you just perceived it that way. It means that the Bills have a guy that they can lean on in tight spots. Losman is a good player, but he makes too many mistakes. His teammates never really believed in him. We have that guy now in Edwards.

7 tds 8 ints…….wow really winning those games for you. 12 tds 10 ints in his career….probally a good reason ur always behind to comeback huh? how many playoff comeback wins does he have?
Everyone knows Losman sucks soooooooo bad. Your lineman even knew. He just shouldnt say " thank god he got someone who doesnt suck!"…while he is still there..bad idea.
I hated Losman ever since he compared himself to Favre before the draft….but i loved seeing him play for you guys hahaha
you guys havent beaten anyone….i hate to break it to you…..ur average.

wow really winning those games for you.
Well, he is 10-5 career as a starter. Whether you like his stats or not, I’ll take a .667 career winning percentage.
You can keep bringing Losman up if you like, but he’s not our quarterback anymore. He’ll spend a year as our backup, then he’ll sign somewhere else. He’s a good teammate. Feel free to bash him all you want, because the probability is high that he won’t see a sniff of the field this Sunday. That’s bad news for your team.
So I’m assuming that when you say the Bills haven’t beaten anyone, you’re including the Chargers in that group, too? You know, one of Miami’s two big wins this season? Dolphins fans seemed pretty proud of that win, considering the Chargers were AFC runners-up last season. Smells pretty hypocritical to me. Your win against the Patriots was outstanding; I certainly hope the Bills can replicate it here in a couple weeks.

Chargers
are a joke. They are the Cowboys of the AFC. They are soooooooooooooo finesse and if you smack them in the mouth they fold.
ill agree to disagree i guess…..because i dont believe in Edwards at all. Hopefully for you he kills us and u can put it back in my face huh?

Trent IS the difference
It’s good to see Pennington do well given the heave-ho he was given by the Jets. With that said, I think that the career trajectory for Edwards (after 16 starts) is far more promising than Chad. Living in the NYC area, I’ve seen plenty of Chad and you will see his arm strength drop as fast as the stock market as the season wears on. You can take that to the bank (second thought, better stuff it under the mattress).
Without a consistent rushing attack, Trent HAS had to carry the team on his back. He has repeatedly made the clutch throws that have propelled the Bills to their 5-1 record. We haven’t seen a QB do that in Buffalo since the second incarnation of Doug Flutie nearly a decade ago. For Trent to be at this point in his career gives Bills fans a reason to begin the Kelly comparison. But make no mistake…he’s not there yet .

Rzayo ...dude...QB's have been known to get better after their rookie season!
Actually a positive TD-INT ratio for QB’s early in their 2nd year is good. I’m glad that you’re not providing career guidance to NFL QB’s; after 2 full seasons John Elway (25TD-29INT), Dan Marino (23TD, 23INT), Bret Favre (37TD-37INT) would have hung up their cleats. Obviously, I would take into account some improvement based upon the skills and intangibles that this 24 year old possesses. Using your logic I could take his 10-4 record as a starter (not counting the AZ game he started but was knocked out on the third play) and project that out to a very successful NFL career. I can’t however, when you factor in the Bills relatively soft schedule to date, just like you have to factor in his experience level in the former argument. This kid has a bright future that you will have an opportunity to see in Miami on Sunday.
BTW: I’ve been to Dolphins/Joe Robbie stadium many times, including the playoffs, and I must say that the spectators there are classy and are generally very considerate to fans who support the opposing team. After all, we’re all football fans. If we didn’t have the Dolphins, Sundays wouldn’t be as fun.

Both sides need remedial zoology instruction...
American Buffaloes (Bison’s) don’t go moo and Dolphins aren’t fish. And while it is true that the Bills have never won an NFL championship (they won 2 AFL titles), it’s been 35 years since the Dolphin’s won their last Super Bowl. Given last year’s 1-15 record, it’s hardly time to break out the champagne. It’s good to see that the animosity between both teams is mutual. Good luck on Sunday.

Just know that I will be rooting against them, not because I want them to move, but because booing the Bills is an instinct, no matter the situation lol

I hate to say this, but i don’t think there is a player on the dolphins aside from J Lo who I wouldn’t trade straight up for edwards… the kid is for real… he works his progression fast and he unloads in a hurry… it’s a shame to say this but the QB gap between Edwards and Brady is a heck of a lot smaller then the gap between Edwards and penne…. Edwards could lead a team to the superbowl.

E-bay your dolphin jerseys (if you have any) and jump on the Bills bandwagon. We don’t need your type of fans. I’m sure one of the Bills fans would glady let you borrow an Edwards jersey until you find a new team to jump on!
Ronnie? Satele? Ginn? Porter? You would trade these guys for Edwards when we have Penne having one of his best seasons and a very promising Henne in the wings??

You have a big case of homerism if you would take Edwards over Ronnie Brown, Satele, Porter and all of them when you have a good vet and a very solid rookie in the wings.
Edwards will never reach Brady

the funniest “homer” line was from his last post saying he wouldn’t trade Ginn for Edwards. That is comical.
Saying Edwards will never reach Brady or be a HOFer isn’t really a knock on him. If that is the best insult you can throw Edwards’ way, than I am more sure than ever we have a really good QB for both the present and the future. The Dolphins don’t have anybody who is the best player at their position in the league either. I don’t see any hall of famers on Miami too. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love for some of the better Dolphins to be on my team.

I wouldn't trade Ginn for Edwards
We have Pennington and Henne (whom our whole coaching staff things will be great) so why would I want to get rid of our best WR (kinda sad I know) when we have the now and the future??
I’m not knocking Edwards on that, I’m just saying that it would be a pointless trade for the Dolphins because we think that we have a good one in Henne and we have someone to holdover until he takes the reigns.
I was calling the homerism on Brains part where he said that WNY is correct in thinking that Edwards is closer to Brady than Edwards is to Penne.
It is argueable that Edwards isn’t even as good as Penne at this moment
“You can honestly say that and call Brian a homer? Please dude you need to wake up.”
How is that not even argueable?? He has led a team that had 1 win last year to 2 wins in 6 games. We have not had an easy shecdule this far. He is having a very good year in terms of how he is playing the QB position. He is giving the team a chance to win, which is the best thing he could have done for the team.
Trent Edwards isn’t having the best statistical season but he is leading the team to the most important thing, which is wins.
They BOTH play big when their teams need them to, Penne has been amazing when we really needed a score, sadly the Secondary has come up short more than once…..
Do I think Penne is better now?? By a slight margin
Do I think Penne will always be the better of the 2 players? Deffinately not, I think Edwards will utilmately have the better career (well not comp%wise lol)
But to say right now at this point in time you can’t even argue Penne is better than Edwards is downright crazy
I like Trent Edwards and I actually do enjoy watching him play (loved the Oakland game) but we do not need him so no I would not trade away our best players at positions we are already thin at to create a logjam at a position that is one of our strong points.
So if that makes me a homer, than so be it, that is the life of a Dolphins Fan!!

when we have the now and the future??
The assumption that Chad Henne really is the QB of the future is a HUGE one. Believing in young QBs is always a huge leap of faith and they fail far more often than they succeed. I can guarantee you right now that Parcells and co. or any other organization who is in a similiar situation (solid 32 year old vet starting with inexperienced, fairly highly drafted rookie on the bench) would trade a hell of a lot more than Ted Ginn in order to get a young QB with the experience and success that Trent Edwards has had.
We have not had an easy shecdule this far
Let’s not go ahead and pat a QB on the shoulder for leading a team to a 2-4 record. And all I have been reading on this site all week long is how easy the Bills schedule has been and how they haven’t proven anything. For starters, opponents win% is skewed by the games that your team is involved in. In other words, if a team goes 16-0 their strength of schedule is going to be much weaker than a team that goes 0-16. So, other than the games against our Bills, the teams we have played have a combined record of 14-16. If you subtract all the easy wins your opponents have piled up against you, your team’s opponents have a win loss record of 15-16. So please spare me the whole “the Bills havn’t played anyone, but we’ve had a tough schedule” nonsense.

Well, I am patting Pennington on the shoulder
He has done a great job this year and is one of the main reasons we are in many of our games.
I don’t buy into your logic of your forumla for strength of shchedule, it is idiotic
“If you subtract all the easy wins your opponents have piled up against you”
That is bullshit, the ONLY easy win against us was by a team that BEAT YOU WORSE than they beat us, fucking idiot.
Now lets get to looking at our games thus far
The dolphins opponents have a win of 514%, meaning that their opponents have an above average Win/Loss ratio.
The Bills opponents have win of 416% meaning that your opponents have a below average Win/Loss ratio
Now lets look at the 2 teams that we both have played Arizona and San Diego. If we look solely at these 2 games
The Dolphins Beat the Chargers by 7 point and lost to the Cardinals by 21
The Bills beat the Charers by 10 points and lost to the Cardinals by 24.
Very similar to each other yeah??
I do honestly believe that we have had a pretty rough start to the year.
The Chargers, Patriots, Ravens, Jets, Texans, and Cardinals are all pretty decent teams in my opinion.
We played 2 Division road games, the top 2 AFC teams from last year, and 4 road games total. I’d say that that is a pretty rough start to the year.
As to Henne, why in the Hell would they trade for another young QB when they believe they already have the right one??
Chargers did the same thing with Rivers.
Bills did the same thing with EDWARDS
Packers did it with Rodgers.
Denver did it with Cutler.
these all seemed to pan out, would you suggest that they should have traded for a QB before seeing what they had in any of these QBs??

I don’t buy into your logic of your forumla for strength of shchedule, it is idiotic
It is unfair to use our wins and your losses to make our opponents strength of schedule look so much worse than yours. The day I view the Ravens and Texans as two quality opponents is the day when i no longer view the NFL as a quality league. If those two teams are good, then I’m not sure there are more than 5 bad teams in the entire league.
Let me explain it like this. If Miami was 6-0 and Buffalo was 0-6 that would change our opponents records to make it look as if Buffalo’s was tougher. We all know that Buffalo has played the weaker schedule though. It’s really simple logic.
As to Henne, why in the Hell would they trade for another young QB when they believe they already have the right one??
Because they don’t know they have the right one. The NFL is a quarterback league and the position is exponentially more important than any other spot. Sure you can list off some young QBs that have panned out (all of which were more highly regarded coming out of college than Henne), but I can list off even more QBs that have failed, especially second and third round guys (Henne was taken 57th overall)
2nd and 3rd round QBs since 2000 and the pick they were chosen with:
Giovani Carmazzi – 65
Chris Redmon – 75
Drew Brees – 32
Quincy Carter – 53
Marques Tuiasosopo – 59
Josh McCown – 81
Dave Ragone – 88
Chris Simms – 97
Matt Schaub – 90
Charlie Frye – 67
Andrew Walter – 69
David Greene – 85
Kellen Clemens – 49
Tarvaris Jackson – 64
Charlie Whithurst – 81
Brodie Croyle – 85
Kevin Kolb – 36
John Beck – 40
Drew Stanton – 43
Trent Edwards – 92
Brian Brohm – 56
Chad Henne – 57
Kevin O’Connell – 94
You have a lot of faith in a guy who is much more likely to fail than than he is likely to even be an average starter. I’ll say it again, there isn’t a GM in the league who wouldn’t trade Ted Ginn or Samson Satele or 31 year old Joey Porter for Trent Edwards if they were in the same position as Parcells. To think otherwise is insanity.

So you think that simply because Chad Henne was drafted
in the 2nd round we must trade for another young QB??
Newsflash, most players drafted in the second round are given CHANCES to develope before the team starts trading for younger players at the same position.
There are GM’s in the leauge that wouldn’t trade key parts to their team for Trent Edwards. You think the Falcons would trade for Trent Edwards? No, they DO NOT HAVE A NEED AT QB.
Our coaching staff DOES NOT fill like the the QB position is a need for this team.
Its a crazy concept that teams take in account positions of need not just skills of players is it??
You can say Henne is going to be a bust all you want because he was drafted in the 2nd round of football, but you don’t know that he will be and we do not know if he will be good or not either. BUT we can go by our coaching staff and make our own assumptions on what they think.
And they believe that he is just as good of a QB as Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan who are both being successful in this leauge in their first year of football.
WE WILL GIVE HENNE A CHANCE before we start trading away young promising players to step in ahead of him.
You are not taking into account what Ted Ginn, Samson Satele, and Joey Porter mean to this team. Samson Satele is A VERY GOOD young center. Joey Porter is the leader of the defense and only player that other teams have to worry about getting to the QB on a consistant basis, which is very important in the 3-4. We spent the 9th overall pick on Ted Ginn and simply are not ready to give up on him.
Trent Edwards is looking like he is going to be great, but the way you Buffalo Fans talk about him you would think that you are ready to throw him into the HoF. He has done great with the time given, but even Joey Harrington had a great stretch for us too, but that doesn’t make him a great QB. Let Edwards play a full season of FB before you start trying to push how great he is on every other team.
Also, your strength of schedule crap is what it is, crap. Neither team is going 16-0 or 0-16, you simply want to take the wins Buffalo had against those teams so you can argue that your schedule was alot tougher than anyone is giving you credit.
As to the Baltimore Ravens not being a quality opponent that is a bunch of BS, they have one of if not the best Defensives in the leauge and that alone makes them a ’Quality Opponent"
You are wrong man, you can try and twist and turn things so they look to be in your favor, but us Dolphin fans aren’t as Ignorant as you seem to think we are.

Wow, I don’t know why I keep expecting a civil and respectful conversation from you. All you have done is try to attack me and put words in my mouth. Here is what I really think:
you wrote:
There are GM’s in the leauge that wouldn’t trade key parts to their team for Trent Edwards. You think the Falcons would trade for Trent Edwards? No, they DO NOT HAVE A NEED AT QB.
But I said:
there isn’t a GM in the league who wouldn’t trade Ted Ginn or Samson Satele or 31 year old Joey Porter for Trent Edwards if they were in the same position as Parcells.
Note how that ends with “if they were in the same position as Parcells.” It’s called reading comprehension and I’m going to bet that standardized tests weren’t your thing.
And here are a bunch of things you claimed I said, that I would never say:
So you think that simply because Chad Henne was drafted in the 2nd round we must trade for another young QB??
You can say Henne is going to be a bust all you want because he was drafted in the 2nd round of football
I never said you should trade for a QB and I never said that Henne is or will be a bust. All I said is that if Parcells or any GM in his shoes were to get a trade offer of Ginn for Edwards, they would accept the trade without hesitation. I know you guys truly believe in Henne, but it is a simple fact that he is more likely to fail than he is to become an above average starter. You can’t debate that QBs with his draft status and college statistics are nowhere near a sure thing.
Trent Edwards is looking like he is going to be great, but the way you Buffalo Fans talk about him you would think that you are ready to throw him into the HoF.
I havn’t really said one positive thing about Trent Edwards here. I don’t see how it is relevant what you are hearing from other Bills fans.
And I will try that strength of schedule thing one more time. Our opponents (other than SD) have all played six games. That means that our games against them are 17% of their record. How you think that doesn’t skew the numbers is beyond me. What if we were to apply your logic to a couple of weeks ago when everyone had played 4 games. Our teams own records would be 25% of their strength of schedule. Again, I think its really simple logic that it is too early to look at strength of schedule if our own records are included in how strong our opponents are.
Here’s a parting blow just for fun:
Newsflash, most players drafted in the second round are given CHANCES to develope before the team starts trading for younger players at the same position.
Just like John Beck right?
by kaisertown on Oct 26, 2008 11:15 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ok, One last time
John Beck was given many chances to prove that he could lead this team. With a poor showing last year (I know we were 1-15) and combined with this years training camp, it seems that the coaching staff has lost hope in him. He could not even beat out McCown this year when the position was almost being handed over to him. Henning ( I’m pretty sure that is our QB coaches name) spent alot of time with Beck this off season trying to improve his game also. I would say that he had CHANCES.
What exactly do you think Parcells position is? Atlanta just like the Dolphins believe that they have found the QB that will lead their team for many years. If they have that confience in Henne, it would not make sense to trade away our defensive leader or any of young promising players for someone in that position.
I UNDERSTAND your formula for strength of schedule, but I do not see it as you do. Good thing people have opinions and I have mine and you have yours. Regardless of how well you think I did on standardized tests, I still will believe that the games played by the team should be included and you obivously do not. When I do statistics I like to have as much sample data as I can to get more accurate results. As you see it, keeping the games our two teams have played “skews” 17% of the results, I see it as 83% of the data is skewed by not taking all of the sample data we can, especially when there is not alot of data to begin with. Those are different opinions and therefore I should not have called your way of doing it wrong, I just belive there are better ways of doing it. In the end, strength of schedule does not mean shit on the gridiron and does not dictate the outcome of a game in anyway. I don’t know why we are argueing about it so much anyways…..lol.
When you said “you have alot of faith in a guy who is more likely to fail than he is to be an average starter” I got the implication that you think he is going to be a bust, that might not have been what you were trying to get across, but that is what I have gotten out of it.
I don’t know if it bugs you to know that we think Henne/Satele, Henne/Ginn, Henne/Porter is greater than Edwards minus one of those players.
This is a fantasy trade that belongs in fantasy land and everyone else and I have fallen victim to devoting alot of time to something that will never even be a rumor. It actually kind of cracks me up.
I’m a 20 year old college student who is going/working/getting into a Medical school, I really hope your view on my test taking ablilities are not right, or I am greatly doomed.

When “Penne” comes up, are we talking about Henne, Pennington or some twisted marriage of the two? I’m assuming the latter, since the vet/rookie QB combo with potential is somehow still perceived as something to envy, but I don’t like assuming things.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 24, 2008 4:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
that's a great question
…because I’m not even sure if “Penne” is just shirt for Pennington or is a weird marriage of the two Chads. If it is not a “twisted marriage” – as you humorously said – then I think we need to consider the idea of using the term “Penne” to describe the two.
As far as assuming things. I guess Dolphin fans are just saying that we trust Parcells/Ireland enough and if they believe Henne will be a good QB, then we accept that. Is it assuming? Yes. But I think Henne’s ceiling is higher than Edwards simply because of Henne’s arm strength.
Oh, and Brian. It’s funny that we are debating this. Do you remember the last QB debate we had? It was last offseason and I was saying how J.P. Losman isn’t a good QB and you argued that he was. Funny how things turn out. Now you got Edwards and all we have is, essentially, “hope.”

You have a big case of homerism if you would take Edwards over Ronnie Brown, Satele, Porter and all of them when you have a good vet and a very solid rookie in the wings.
No, I just have a belief that anything is possible when you have long-term stability at the quarterback position. If trends continue as they are currently, and Edwards can stay healthy for a reasonable amount of time, then the Bills have stability at the position for the next decade. Last time I checked, the Dolphins are still trying to solve that problem long-term.
So no, I wouldn’t trade Edwards for Satele or Porter (though Ronnie Brown is tempting). Those guys don’t play quarterback – and if you have a quarterback, anything is possible.
by Brian Galliford on Oct 24, 2008 4:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well,
You wouldn’t trade Edwards for Porter or Satele but we wouldn’t either. Like I said, it would be creating a log jam at one of the few positions that is solid for us while thining out an area that is of need.
Is Edwards worth more to some teams than Satele, Porter, and Ronnie Brown? Yes, but he is not to the Dolphins.
Would you have wanted to trade for another young QB last year before you had gotten to see Edwards play? I highly doubt that and it doesn’t make much sense to.
I’m not saying that I think Edwards is a bad QB which he is not but when the coaching staff openly endorses our Rookie QB, it just does not make sense to trade for someone that has what? 12 games more experience than him?
I honestly believe that Parcells/Sparano do believe that they have found their long term solution at QB.
Would you honestly say that Edwards is closer to Brady than he is to Pennington is terms of skill level like WNY claims he is?

I know things have been pretty bad the last couple years but penne is the definition of mediocrity, always has been and always will. he is just unable to make the throws needed to be an elite QB, and wasting time playing him is just an extension of the wasted QB time that has been spent starting the last 12 QBs. he’s a caretaker at best or worst.
