VABills Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 BIO: Second-team all-conference selection in '03 after completing 59.5 percent/3,077/33/14. Replaced Patrick Ramsey the prior season and passed for 57.4 percent/2,468/19/10. Had a solid Combine and displayed some of the best long-passing skills. POSITIVES: Nice-sized athletic passer with an NFL arm. Quickly sets up in the pocket, has a short, quick delivery and the pass explodes from his hand. Patient, buys time in the pocket and a tough passer that takes a hit in order to get the throw off. Senses pressure, gets outside tackle and easily eludes the rush, making the throw on the move. Looks off the safety and goes to secondary targets, not forcing the issue or making bad choices. Challenges the vertical game and at the same time makes all the throws. Zips the outs into tight coverage, drives the ball downfield, yet also puts touch on passes when required. Makes plays with his legs and has an aggressive running style when he takes off from the pocket. NEGATIVES: Throws flat footed at times and as a result will be high of a target. Too often relies on his strong arm to make the play. Holds the ball too long in the pocket and takes unnecessary sacks. ANALYSIS: A confident quarterback with the tools to back it up, Losman is a physically gifted passer with the ability to play in multiple offensive schemes. Offering a good upside for the next level, he will eventually be a solid productive quarterback in the NFL. PROJECTION: Early Second Round A lot of those negatives sound real familiar. Be careful what you ask for people.
IDBillzFan Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 A lot of those negatives sound real familiar. Be careful what you ask for people. 190681[/snapback] Bledsoe lover.
Losman-McGahee-Evans Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 NEGATIVES: Throws flat footed at times and as a result will be high of a target. Too often relies on his strong arm to make the play. Holds the ball too long in the pocket and takes unnecessary sacks. 190681[/snapback] This is complete crap. This summary was based upon his worst season (His last) when his OL (And team) was horrible. He is a player and is no Drew.
VABills Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 This is complete crap. This summary was based upon his worst season (His last) when his OL (And team) was horrible. He is a player and is no Drew. 190709[/snapback] And you belive this Bills line is going to solve those problems? Sorry this line still isn't that good.
seq004 Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 A lot of those negatives sound real familiar. Be careful what you ask for people. 190681[/snapback] I'll take him over Drew. If he can't get it done then someone else will have to come in, but I have confidence that Losman will help the Bills turn the corner.
VABills Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 Bledsoe lover. 190703[/snapback] No not at all. But from my view, I don't see an improvement here. That's what scares me.
VABills Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 I'll take him over Drew. If he can't get it done then someone else will have to come in, but I have confidence that Losman will help the Bills turn the corner. 190718[/snapback] And another 2 or 3 years of a failed experiment.
dundy249 Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 A lot of those negatives sound real familiar. Be careful what you ask for people. 190681[/snapback] Read it again? The positives contradict the negatives.
PastaJoe Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Losman has the speed and agility to escape the pass rush and give the receivers time to get open. Unless you're a Peyton Manning, you either have to be strong enough or fast enough to escape the rush. Bledsoe is none of those. Time to make the committment to the Losman, McGahee, Evans offense.
Alaska Darin Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 I'll take him over Drew. If he can't get it done then someone else will have to come in, but I have confidence that Losman will help the Bills turn the corner. 190718[/snapback] Yeah, he certainly looks ready to play at the NFL level. Nothing like telling your "on the verge" team that you're willing to waste another season. That'll help recruiting.

Unless you're a Peyton Manning, you either have to be strong enough or fast enough to escape the rush. Bledsoe is none of those. Time to make the committment to the Losman, McGahee, Evans offense. 190737[/snapback] and who is the QB who led the league in getting sacked this year? Vick. He must not be as mobile as Losman.
Fezmid Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Losman has the speed and agility to escape the pass rush and give the receivers time to get open. Unfortunately, if his play this year is any indication, he's like Flutie in that he runs first and runs second (then passes third... Unless he runs). Maybe he'll get better with the offseason and training camp, but based on what we've seen on the field this year, Bledsoe is the best QB on the team. CW
VABills Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 and who is the QB who led the league in getting sacked this year? Vick. He must not be as mobile as Losman. 190774[/snapback] And who leads the league in fumbles? Oh that would be Vick as well.
seq004 Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 And another 2 or 3 years of a failed experiment. 190723[/snapback] How the hell do you know it will fail? My God the guy hasn't started 1 freaking game and your already saying this NO 1 pick is a bust. Please stop with your cyystal ball.
IDBillzFan Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Yeah, he certainly looks ready to play at the NFL level. Nothing like telling your "on the verge" team that you're willing to waste another season. That'll help recruiting. 190751[/snapback] There is a ton of truth to this statement, but unfortunately this will get you pegged as a Bledsoe lover. The reality is, do you think Fletcher, Spikes, Moulds, Adams, Williams, etc., want to hang around another three years while JP develops? No way in hell. Drew is the best option we have. He may not be the best option, but he's the best option we have.
VABills Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 How the hell do you know it will fail? My God the guy hasn't started 1 freaking game and your already saying this NO 1 pick is a bust. Please stop with your cyystal ball. 190789[/snapback] Well yours and a lot of other peoples crystal balls sure are going string aren't they.

Nothing like telling your "on the verge" team that you're willing to waste another season. That'll help recruiting. 190751[/snapback] What are you talking about? Has he started 1 game as a Bill? You kill me. I know you can look into the future and see him failing. Here's a better recruiting: Tell your free agent wide reciever that you have all the pieces in place but tell him Bledsoe is your QB. Give the guy a freaking chance
Fezmid Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Here's a better recruiting: Tell your free agent wide reciever that you have all the pieces in place but tell him Bledsoe is your QB. Would that be the QB that gave Peerless Price a monster contract? Or the QB that made the national media realize what a threat Lee Evans is? Or the QB that, despite being "crap" as everyone says, still gave moulds 84 receptions for the season (despite a dozen or more drops by the star)? Yeah, I'm sure future WRs would be much more keen on holding a block while JPL's running around (again, based on the limited action he saw this season and in the preseason). CW
seq004 Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Well yours and a lot of other peoples crystal balls sure are going string aren't they. 190797[/snapback] None of us will know to next season will we?
KD in CA Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 and who is the QB who led the league in getting sacked this year? Vick. He must not be as mobile as Losman. 190774[/snapback] Including one yesterday by his own lineman!
