OT: The Curse of Herman Edwards

[njpatsfan]

Now that Damon Huard is likely to miss tomorrows game, the speculation has begun:

Reading this article brought back to mind my thoughts when I heard Hermie on ESPN saying this:

Believe me, I couldn’t anticipate in my wildest dreams a quarterback who’s gone 80 games straight is hurt in his first game. That was the furthest thing from my mind. That’s like a nightmare almost, a recurring nightmare. But you sit there and say, ‘Ok, what am I gotta do?’

'Almost' a recurring nightmare ? Amazing from a guy who had different starters in 4 of five years at the Jets, and lost three QBs in a row (Pennington, Fiedler, and Testeverde) just last year.

Herm will likely be forced to start the rookie Brodie Croyle, who may 'become the first NFL player with the body type of a 10-year old boy to take a snap in the NFL'.

I wonder what the over-under is on the number of quarters Brodie lasts ?

Also, it seems as Herm is set to screw us yet again - this time in the Seahawks draft pick value race.

Do you mean the curse where offenses fall apart as soon at Herm touches them?

Yeah - don't think the KC media didn't pick up on that. From the second link:

Q: Can you comment on the irony that you came in wanting to rebuild the defense but thought you might have one year left out of the offense? Do you ever look at your self and say…?

EDWARDS: “No, I don’t. When I came here I planned on being here a long time, so I didn’t look at that. I looked at what we had and said I’m going to do everything I can to win right now. With that I said I’d do some things for the future, too. I knew that.
