‘"He’s obviously got a very strong arm, and he’s learning," Bledsoe said of Losman. "When you come in as a quarterback, as a rookie, there’s a whole ton to learn and he’s making progress. He’s working hard and he’s made a lot of strides in the last few weeks."’

‘"The feedback I got from (the Bills) was that he performed very well," Rickert said. "Athletically and arm strength-wise, he’s as good as some of the QBs they have on their roster. Having said that, they’re not in position to make a move."’

‘The Bills just don’t make enough big plays. They had only 18 takeaways last year and just 19 takeaways in 2002. It would make it a lot easier for Bledsoe to be able to start from good field position for a change.’

‘The Bills liked what they saw — they just don’t have the room. They have Bryant on a short list of considerations in case they have an injury at the quarterback position.’
