A better "old" article about JP...
J.P. Losman
Comparison: Mark Brunell
Strengths
Has one of the strongest arms in college football without question. He is the perfect combination of physical strength, speed, size, leadership and competitiveness. Losman is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, has a wonderful feel for the game and can just flat out make plays throwing the football. He is a very passionate player that loves being “the man” or the leader on a football team.
Weaknesses
Does not have the best mechanics around, he seems to fade away when he passes and doesn’t step into his throws. He needs to keep his feet more active in the pocket, he tends to stand flat-footed too much. Relies on his arm strength too much as well, doesn’t seem to think he has to square up and throw a mechanically correct football at times. Has great physical strength but I was never one to say that the amount a QB can bench press means anything in the long run.
Summary
Great looking prospect just needs to be a little more accurate on the field and that will come once he straightens up his mechanics on the field. Is a great competitor and is as fiery as they come, can make all the throws and has the quickest release in college football. Only thing keeping J.P. from being a great quarterback is his attention to detail when throwing the football. Once he gets that down he is as good as anyone, awesome, athletic QB prospect, one of the best.
