Bills Need to Do Some Grooming
The Buffalo Bills seemingly have their franchise quarterback in Trent Edwards. However, they still need to groom another young quarterback.
Times have changed as over a decade ago the best teams in the National Football League all had good backup quarterbacks that could come in and let the offense not miss a beat like the Buffalo Bills during their Superbowl years when they had quarterbacks Jim Kelly and Frank Reich,
Right now the Bills have quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick and Gibran Hamdan as the backups to Edwards.
Fitzpatrick started in 12 games last year with the Cincinnati Bengals as starting quarterback Carson Palmer went down with a elbow injury.
Fitzpatrick did am okay job as he completed 59.4 percent of his passes for 1,905 yards passing with eight touchdowns and nine interceptions, but if he is going to survive on the Bills he needs to do a better job than that.
Hamdan is an unknown commodity as he has never started a game in the NFL and so far in organized team activities and minicamp.
They need another young quarterback, because Edwards so far has not proven yet that he can play an entire season as he has missed games to injuries in both of his first two years.
That way in the Bills have a quality option at backup so the offense will not miss a beat as not every good quarterback can stay healthy as Brett Farve has.
In the end Bills head coach Dick Jauron said it best, “You can never have enough quality quarterbacks.”
