Sportsbook site handicappers can ultimately erase Trent Edwards from their notebooks as the Buffalo bills released him on Monday after Ryan Fitzpatrick sparked the offense on Sunday.



Long Overdue – The release of Edwards was long overdue for several online betting handicappers at the sports book. Edwards had an abysmal quarterback rating of 58.3 in which he completed only 55% of his passes for a poor 4.6 yards per attempt with only 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions and Buffalo’s offense was totally inept in their 1st two losses of the season.

Edwards has had a lengthy slow fall after apexing with an 85.4 QB rating in 2008. He slid a year ago to 73.8 and lost his starting job to Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Edwards won the job after new head coach Chan Gailey threw the contest for the starting job wide open at spring camp. But after the 0-2 start to the 2010 season in which they didn’t score more than 10 points in a game Gailey went back to Fitzpatrick, who jumpstarted the offense with 247 yards passing and 2 touchdowns in a 38-30 loss at New England.

Gailey Satisfied – Gailey was so satisfied with Fitzpatrick’s performance at New England and the way he moved the squad that he felt Edwards was expendable. Brian Brohm shifts up to the number two slot on the Buffalo depth chart. Fitzpatrick’s performance at New England aided to earn Buffalo its 1st offshore sports book payout of the season when making a football wager.

An Offensive Coach – Gailey is well regarded in coaching circles for his offensive ability and capacity. As the former starter was well regarded and liked by his teammates as well as Fitzpatrick, as the two worked closely with each other, his release of Edwards came as a shock to the squad. Sportsbook site handicappers will now see if Gailey will stick with Fitzpatrick through thick and thin as the move does come off as impulsive.

A year ago Fitzpatrick had a 9/10 TD/INT ratio and compiled a 69.7 QB rating. Fitzpatrick has earned a journeyman career that started in St. Louis with a two stops in Cincinnati along the road to Buffalo.

A Hard Assignment – Fitzpatrick will get the start this Sunday as the clear cut leader of the offense in an offshore sports book game versus a New York Jets squad that will come to Buffalo with one of several NFL’s most difficult defenses.
