Trent Edwards

quarterback.  I will say this as simply as I can, even though it may anger Dallas fans.  Trent Edwards is smarter than Tony Romo.  This is undeniable.  Romo went to Eastern Illinois.  Edwards is a Stanford man.  If collegiate pedigree is not enough proof, just listen to the way Edwards handles the media.  Then, just for a point of comparison, listen to Romo.  Edwards is a very intelligent guy.  I am not calling Romo completely brainless; I am merely saying Edwards is smarter.  Edwards will avoid the drama tactfully, even if the media attempts to create it.

mprovement on a young Buffalo Bills team.  In the first half of the game against the Seahawks, Trent Edwards looked like he was still playing not to lose instead of playing to win.  He looked a little shaky and played fairly inconsistently.  Also, his arm is not necessarily built to throw the deep ball and that seemed evident on a couple plays against the Hawks.  However, by the end of the game Edwards went 19-30 for over 200 yards and a touchdown.  This is a very respectable showing, especially from a guy who just assumed a starting spot.  If this is the Edwards Bills fans can look forward to every week, some of the anxiety should subside.  Admittedly, it would be nice to see more than one touchdown toss.  Allow it also to be noted that if the Jets can beat the Dolphins by a small margin and a lucky fourth down conversion and be suddenly talked about as the new potential AFC East upstart, then why would there be no talk of the Bills assuming the top spot after easily handling the four-time repeat NFC West champ Seattle Seahawks? Ok, the NFC West has been a fairly poor division in football the past few years, but I still think it is at least worth noting that this was not a 7 or 3 point victory for the Bills - it was a 24 point victory.  I have a feeling the mainstream sports media (with the exception of the ever Buffalo faithful Chris Berman) writes off Buffalo because they have started strong in the past.  We all remember that week one shut-out of the Pats that ended in the tables being turned.
