Drop Mark Sanchez for Trent Edwards?

[Grinditout]

Someone just dropped Trent Edwards, I'm thinking of maybe dropping Mark Sanchez for Edwards. Good move or no?

[hermes]

what's the rest of your qb situation look like?

[Cliff Levingston]

Sanchez will be a sketchy backup even until he proves otherwise. They're going to be a running/defensive team and it's never a good idea to rely on rookie QBs (sans Matt Ryan). Edwards is decent and has great weapons to throw to (and a good running back in Lynch when he comes back), so Cliff Levingston would leans toward Edwards.

However, you might want to hold off and wait until Brady Quinn is named the starter in Cleveland. Cliff Levingston has Edwards as his backup in one league and is seriously considering dropping him for Quinn.

i think of the two edwards has to be the choice, because sanchez is a rookie

and i am not sold on whoever is going to win the cleveland job

Hell to the no.
Keep Sanchez.
Not sold on him cause he's a rookie, but as a backup for the bye week and in case of injury I prefer him to Edwards.
Edwards is burning hot trash douced in ronson lighter fluid, then tossed in an open pit rotisserie.
Is there anyone else on waivers or is this a really deep league.
I like Cliff's idea about Quinn, he has huge upside and Edwards is close to useless.
I would rather have guys like Garrad, Shaun Hill or Lefwich to Edwards...

he's a rookie in NY, i doubt he's going to be very good

i know edwards isn't good but he should put some numbers up with those wr's

In the last week Buffalo has fired their OC and cut their starting LT, who was a replacement for the other starting LT they traded away. That is a freaking train wreck looking for some tracks--avoid at all costs. Those preseason numbers--the offensive starters mananged one FG in 15 drives, that was not a fluke.

Sanchez makes for a rough fantasy QB because he has little to throw to and a coach who came from a place where they kept making the playoffs despite having a lousy passing attack. I would take Stafford over him, but also guys like Garrard and Orton, who are going to get to throw more. I have two teams and Garrard is unclaimed in both, and I'd take him over Sanchez. INTs are fantasy killers and rookie QBs throw a lot of 'em, even the great ones do it.

This.

ya, ok

it's probably a good time to avoid buffalo

I agree with the concerns with Edwards, but I'm not at all sold that Brady Quinn will be any better. Now I'm not saying that Cleveland isn't a high power, high scoring offense with lots of weapons mind you....well, OK, I guess I am. Edwards minus and Offensive Coordinator, minus a LT, but with Lee Evans and TO still seems better than Brady and Braylon.

What defenses will each play in your starter's bye week? When you're dealing with lousy QBs around the same talent range, this probably has the biggest effect.
