Well, he was a QB and the Pats don't know who's going to be starting next week. That's why.

Well ok, ....do you play once a week and play Madden like the real teams do? I don't. Just saying. I made trades and some cuts right off the bat.
I wouldn't start Edelman in Madden at QB if I didn't have to. He was more a running QB in college anyways. But, it is a game and fun to experiment.

As a Pats fan, the chances of him starting are about as good as you or I starting. Edelman is much to valuable to the team for him to be the starting QB, it will either be Jacoby or Jimmy. But if you really want to use him (he could be fun in the game) you are probably going to have change his position.

Not to mention he wasn't a good qb

You didn't even need to restart your franchise. Just edit his position to QB.

Obviously no Pats fan should want Edelman to start at QB but I just thought it would be fun to have him WR and QB eligible. Changing him to a full time QB is not really the point. Too bad they don't keep him as QB eligible in CFM as I would like one of those Terrel Pryor games from Edelman where he scores a passing, rushing and receiving TD.

There used to be a pistol formation, from the Bills playbook, which allowed you to play WR4 at QB with a given set (back when Brad Smith would occasionally do that). I'm not sure if it's still in the game but that might be a way to have him be primarily a WR in CFM while taking snaps at QB.

The biggest drawback is that you can't audible from that formation with a WR at QB, or at least you couldn't back when I last used it.

Some wildcat formations also allow you to put WR1 or WR2 at QB and have passing plays but much fewer than the aforementioned pistol set.

***ETA***
I just checked the current Bills playbook and I don't see that formation. I can't remember exactly what it was but it was a 3 wr pistol set. It might still be in the game with that particular sub package.

U can't do it with browns playbooks I just tried in practice has all other qb's listed but Pryor's still a wr...just another thing u see on sundays that u dont in Madden. Under wildcat.
