So the blame game I’ve been playing about what’s wrong with the offense has moved to Trent Edwards. Look, I don’t mind if you have to do some check downs during a course of a game if warranted, as in you’re running for your life. But when Jason Fine and Derek Schoman are becoming your goto targets, you have issues.
Lee Evans has become a glorified possession receiver and T.O. is starting fights with Rodney Harrison on Twitter.
Someone needs to explain to me how Kurt Warner, Big Ben, and Tom Brady can always get the ball to their top wides. Hell, Randy Moss without Wes Welker was able to catch 12 balls yesterday.
Great QB’s know how to get the ball to their best players. I can handle if some games that doesn’t happen, but how many times do we have to talk about Evans or Owens not being involved enough.
It’s time for Edwards to figure out what kind of QB he wants to be. Does he want to be the QB who throws screen passes on 3rd and 13 or does he want to be a gunslinger? If it’s the latter, then Edwards needs to shed the check down crap and start taking chances down the field. I’m sick of blaming AVP and Turk Schonert for the futility Edwards has shown.
Who the hell would Charlie Weiss and Josh McDaniels be without Tom Brady? Look at how pissed off Brady was yesterday on the sideline about the Pats offense in the first half. Edwards needs that! He’s starting to resemble Dick Jauron in his mannerisms and comments. Oh, we just have to look at the film and execute.
F$%k the film and executing. Great QB’s in this league demand the best out of themselves and teammates. I’m starting to think Edwards tentative play style is almost a mirror image of how he reacts to the offense not playing well.
Edwards more then likely won’t have these sort of weapons at his disposal ever again, considering T.O. is leaving after the year. It’s time for Edwards to lay it out and earn that next contract. If he doesn’t, he may be joining JP Losman in the UFL.
