Ok, I agree the Bills arent the last place team that usually starts a rookie. JP will have tools around him to work with. But I've also seen the panic on this board due to the OL. I think that might be a major factor in his success. Also, Experience isnt everything, but is valuable, as you said, when you learn from it. JP has none to learn from. Experience isnt everything, but it does matter. Potential is also extremely important, but as you put it, it is potential, something not yet manifested. Give him time and he'll be ok. But don't expect him to step up and lead them to the playoffs.

not that funny.

You left out Reed... now that's funny.

Well, I did agree with him didnt I? Plus, I face the same discrimination, immediately blocked because I like the enemy. Eggs thrown at my house, I cant even go to a decent restaurant without someone yelling at me to "go back to Miami." And If I should ever order Buffalo wings, or New England Clam Chowder, or a New York Strip Steak... oh the shame! Sorry, got carried away, hehe.

#99 - Denial

So, you're telling me that Carson Palmer was not a rookie last year cause he sat on the bench for a season. There's only so much you can learn sitting out and watching. Next time you need surgery, ask to see a surgeon who's read all the books, but hasnt actually done the procedure. You shouldnt be worried, right? After all, he's not a rookie.

ohhh, this could be fun.... #100 - regardless of what you think, Sundays are not going to be the same.

And I believe that was the last time you were in charge too.

I never thought Id say this, but I agree with the Pats fan. <sigh> Losman is twice the QB Bledsoe was.... that has Rettata written all over it.

Interesting question. Heading into the season, Id take Pennington. Then slowly give losman more and more time. And then Id end the season with Losman, expecting Chad to be on IR. Either way, I'd take any of them over Friggin Feely.

1. No, he's not. As the jokeman said he's got less that one full drive of NFL experience. 2. McGahhe might be your bread and butter, but when they start stacking the line, it'll be interesting to see what you do. Plan to run every down, expect every MLB in the league to be rushing in. So your going to have to throw, and when you throw the ball three things can happen, and two of them are bad. 3. Bledsoe was so terrible he almost led the team to the playoffs. Expect him to struggle, and be pleasantly surprised if he succeeds early.

you got me there. I cheated. My Dictionary

You should pray for JP to have a career like Marino's. I konw Id be happy for my Dolphins to have another Marino helming the team. Beats my alternative.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings John. I hate to think you're crying like a certain Dolphin who, like you, couldnt take the heat. You are obviously not a moron.

Ok, by the dictionary, a rookie is: 1. An untrained or inexperienced recruit, as in the army or police. 2. An inexperienced person; a novice. 3. Sports. A first-year player, especially in a professional sport. Is JP Inexperienced, yes. Is he a first year player, no according to the NFL. According to how much he played last year, MLB would still consider him a rookie. We can argue on this all day and night, so let's move on. He is lacking experience. When he acquires more experience, then start touting him as the second coming of Marino. But for now, let's say, quite honestly, that he's an inexperienced player surrounded by a good team. If he can keep his head in the games, and not make the crucial mistakes, then he'll be fine, and get more confident. As for all you morons reminding me that Big Ben and Tom Brady had great success, let's remember Ryan Leaf and Akili Smith, Marinovich, Tim Couch, Jeff George, Cade McNown... shall I keep going? All drafter higher than Losman.

I believe you're loony.

Ever think that starting a rookie QB might actually be a step back? Im not claiming that the Jets will be the best team come playoff time, or that the Fins will shock everyone and compete, but isn't it feasable that starting a QB with no experience is a little bit worse that a seasoned starter? Yeah I know, but Ben did this, and Carson did that. But look at the Colts and Peyton his first year. Look at all the other rookie QBs in the league. Instant success is the exception to the rule. In the long run, JP is the way to go. But dont expect to be in the playoffs yet.

Somehow the Retatta thread needs to be permanently linked to the title page, for those that need a good laugh at work.

That was a Hoax?!?! That was at least two paychecks I contributed to save that poor rodent. Perhaps, we can all have some champagna, before we go out and place our votes.

You know.. beauty.. it's so important.. especially in these dark times.. because.. without beauty, the terrorists.. will have truly won. Can.. can you step closer, please? Little closer. [Look down shirt] Wow! Wowee-wow-wow-wow! "I see London.. I see France.. I see something!"

No?

59. Normally, I would offer you.. vintage Champagna.. and cavier. But.. I have grown impatient with the French. Ever since the Froggy stabbed Colin Powell in the back.. I eschew all things French.. no more! Camembert.. fois gras.. eau de cologne.. Frenchie, from "American Idol".. and, big surprise to me.. champagna! Who knew! That's the only place champagna come from! But.. my word is my bond.. it is done. Instead.. I offer you. effervescent.. Andre's Cold Duck.

She's 28 now... Jenna Jenna Again

Mmm, Six. I always had a thing for her growing up, annoying voice and all.

Brittany's is one that can be argued. And didnt Soleil Moon Frye have a breast reduction (I know, there should be no such thing, but somewhere out there are evil doctors that do it).
