It's a bit of an obscure sports reference, but Wally Pipp was the guy who Lou Gehrig replaced at first base. On June 2, 1925 Lou Gehrig started over Wally Pipp who was in a bit of a slump at the time. I'm sure you all know what happened after that (hint: Gehrig was much better than Pipp)
The Bills seem to have a few offensive weapons to work with. Nothing like the Colts, but there are some movers and shakers. Lee Evans is an established deep threat who can outrun anyone on the field, handy for those times when the defense is in man coverage. Josh Reed is a solid, if unspectacular possession receiver who can gets some yards after the catch. And Parrish is the shifty slot guy everyone wants. Running back? Yeah, Marshawn 'Money' Lynch has that locked up. All the Bills need is a tight end. Who can catch. Yeah, that directed at you Robert Royal, holder of the Fluke Performance of the Week.
While it's a huge stretch to say that Trent Edwards is going to put up huge numbers for the rest of his career, establish a bunch of records, and then succumb to a debilitating disease while in his prime, it would be nice if Trent turned out to be a solid QB for the next 8-10 years. I don't think that's too much to hope for, and to be honest, my liver can't take another up-and-down season. And I've run out of furniture to break.
Come on Trent, don't suck
