Answer this question honestly....

Also, I'm basically a troll and it's pathetic as fug that somehow I'M one of the most upbeat/positive posters over the last week and trying to tell people to not over-react.

What the crap is going on around here?

Lets just put him at safety. It took me ahwile to find this and it was a complete waste of time. Go to 2:00

We gave a 2nd for Jarrett who hasn't done anything in 3 years and a 3rd for LaFell who showed just as little as Edwards last night.

Cut them all?

Not fair to compare rookies to a 4th year player... Jarrett has no execuses at this point, but he looked decent last night.

The way things look now, If AE was a UFA< would he make even the practice squad?

Probably not. He would be one of the many players cut from the team outright. Has shown nothing on special teams and can't seem to hold onto balls against 3rd string DB's.

He would be given another chance next season.

That said, his cost in the draft probably assures him a roster spot, which is a shame. Does he have potential? Maybe. Can we afford another roster spot for a pure project considering we have to use up 2 roster spots because our field goal kicker can't do kickoffs? Nope.

100% totally agree.

Decent after 3 years, collecting most of his pay and spending a 2nd rounder. I also think he looked better than usual because the weather was slowing everything down.. eliminates one of his big weaknesses.

Point being, Edwards didn't flash much last night, but neither did half of the team and zero of the WR. If you were to apply the same filter (UDFA, judged based on one rainy performance) we'd have 14 people on roster.

Give the guy a break, guys. Receiver isn't exactly the easiest position to play.

AE showed nothing last night... maybe that will change but I doubt it

Yup, I've heard it said many times that WR is the 2nd hardest transition to make from college to the NFL and this kid didn't even play WR in college.

It's waaaaaay to early to draw any conclusions about Edwards. I think we can all agree he's a project, so the only real question is whether or not this team could afford to spend a 2nd and 3rd round pick on a project at a position where they have such a great need.

I've got nothing against AE. I think he could be a great NFL player. He just needs to be a throwing, not catching.

My angst is towards our dumb-ass Front Office for spending an expensive draft pick on a player to play a position he didn't play in college, with the expectation he could transition to WR, then give him a nice 4-year contract before he ever took a pro snap (should have been a 3-year tops).

Maybe he'll turn it around by the end of Pre-season. Doesn't look likely though. And if he can't, our Front Office is not only wasting a roster position, but fuging up AE's career too.

If it makes you feel better, we spent a 2nd rounder. We tend to suck with those. Be mad when we burn 1st and 3rds.

[Proudiddy]

I've never seen Zod this distraught over a pre-season showing lol. But, I agree the WR position is a concern.

But, for hope - Look at Julian Edelman. The guy looked incredible last night and made the same transition last year that AE is making now. I remember people saying he looked lost last year and that they were trying to MAKE him into Wes Welker but he just didn't have the ability... Look at him now.

[Wither]

Lets be honest. That was the first preseason game

I have to agree with Woody here. Why would he be on the PS after the first pre-season game?

[Wither]

Or are you just stirring the Edwards pot??? If so, carry on.....

Read him like a book...

[Pimpdaddy]

Hope this is not going to be another freakin project gone bad... Godda give him a chance in a regular season game... I mean look how bad Gross played.... its preseason.
