i think the best way to break in jp would be to throw him into a blowout, on the road, at night, against the super bowl champs, when the coach knows he wasn't paying any attention.
i would not be suprised to hear that this single moment last year was what made jp into a guy who prepares and does lots of work for his job.
you, however, are very much correct. the bills are the best possible team for a young unproven guy to be a sucessful quarterback. probably the deepest WR corps in the league, willis at rb, an all world defense, and a game changing special teams squad. I am of the variety that realizes that jp probably will neither be the league mvp this year, nor the billy joe hobert of the league. he'll be somewhere in the middle, which will give him the best possible chance to grow.
If he's billy joe hobert, then he'll go in the dump with the rest of the crappy quarterbacks. if he goes and throws for more than 4000 yards next season, maybe he'll be talking about the 2005 season in 20 years, like dan marino talked about the 1984 season yesterday. (don't take me out of context... i firmly believe that jp will be no less than middle of the road with ability)
