The Buffalo Bills should rebuild the QB position for the 2010 season

I think the Bills should ditch all three of their QBs for the 2010 season as none of them look like a legit starting QB to me.  26-year old Trent Edwards was handed the starting job and he dropped it.  He played in 8 games for the Bills this season and he completed 110 of 183 passes (60.1%) for 1,169 yards with 6 TD passes and 7 INTs (73.8 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 14 times for 106 yards (7.6 ypc) this season for the Bills.  He has now played in 32 games in his NFL career and Edwards has completed 506 of 826 passes (61.3%) for 5,498 yards with 24 TD passes and 25 INTs (77.9 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 64 times for 272 yards (4.3 ypc) with 3 TD runs in his career.  I don’t like Edwards as a starting QB but the Bills might bring him back as the back-up if they don’t trade him.

27-year old Ryan Fitzpatrick played in 10 games for the Bills this season and he completed 127 of 227 passes (55.9%) for 1,422 yards with 9 TD passes and 10 INTs (69.7 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 31 times for 141 yards (4.5 ypc) with a TD run this year.  Fitzpatrick has now played in 28 games in his NFL career and he has completed 424 of 734 passes (57.8%) for 4,104 yards with 21 TD passes and 27 INTs (67.7 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 108 times for 509 yards (4.7 ypc) with 5 TD runs in his NFL career.  Buffalo is a town only big enough for either Fitzpatrick or Edwards…….or neither of them so we shall see if he earned a 2nd year with the Bills.

24-year old Brian Brohm was plucked off the Packers’ practice squad and he actually started a game for the Bills this season.  He played in 2 games (1 start) for the Bills this season and he completed 17 of 29 passes (58.6%) for 146 yards with 0 TD passes and 2 INTs (43.2 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 3 times for -3 yards (-1.0 ypc) this year.  The Bills could probably do better than Brohm for a 3rd string QB in 2010.
